asked, no doubt wondering if it would be open to those who had a bit more at stake in the interest of keeping a discretionary profile.
    “Affirmative, Sir. Which reminds Me, would You both like to witness Our sajira’s collaring ceremony in a couple of weeks? I would imagine You would have a lot of the answers to some lingering questions in Your minds, once You have seen NEBU for Yourselves.” I wanted to ensure this wasn’t some fly-by-night affair and everything had come to fruition in my home location. There was no point in going out there to pitch the idea if I didn’t already have something for them to see.
    “That would be wonderful! Is it the one Amenhotep has been raving about, this sajira of Yours?” Lady Hatshepsut asked me.
    “Yes, Ma’am, We are quite proud of her indeed.”
    “We would be delighted. I’ll have My boi make the arrangements for our arrival right away.”
    Just like that, the conversations regarding the birth of The Temples of Deshret began. I wondered if the other leg of my travel itinerary would go this smoothly, especially considering the next person I would have to convince would not be as easy as this had been.
    Not only would I have the compound to pitch, but I also would need to broach another subject which could cause the whole plan to fall apart before it all began. Whether it would work out or not was anyone’s guess, but nothing beat a try but a failure.
    I approached Osiris when we had a chance to speak. “Sir, I might need Your assistance in a matter of the utmost importance.”
    “Talk to Me, dude, what can I help with?” Osiris asked.
    “Well, Sir, it concerns Your brother, Seti.” I broached the subject, realizing it needed to be discussed sooner rather than later. “I planned on heading to Virginia in the next couple of days, and I wanted Your counsel on how to deal with Him.”
    Osiris rubbed the back of his head. I couldn’t find a good time to bring up the subject of his brother, but I had to do something, considering I would be on the East Coast in the next forty-eight hours. “I assume there’s no one else who could head up this particular project in the area?”
    I understood his frustration, but as much as I would have loved to talk to someone else, there was no one else who had the influence and power that Seti had. His circle of friends spanned some of the more well-to-do in the DMV, or the DC/Maryland/Virginia area,
    “No, Sir, there’s no one else.” My options were limited, and I had to make him aware of that fact. As much as I wanted to use someone else, no one had as much influence in the area. “The minute He finds out You’re involved in this project, He could pull out completely. I’m sure You know from talking to Amenhotep how important it is not to have that happen.”
    Osiris clapped his hand on my shoulder, a reassuring smile spread across his face. “Well, youngster, maybe ol’ Seti might have softened up a little bit over the past decade. We still talk on occasion, as long as that subject doesn’t come up. Maybe You might be the one who might be able to work Him over and get Him back within the circle.”
    Maybe I was, maybe I wasn’t…but there was only one way to find out.

FOURSAJIRA
    “What’s gotten into you, babe? This isn’t the man that I married. What is Sin doing to you?”
    I didn’t know what to think anymore. Ever since my husband started taking his submission and consideration period with Sinsual more seriously, I’d noticed a change in him, and it wasn’t for the better, either.
    He wasn’t as aggressive in bed as he used to be. I almost had to rape him nowadays. Hell, it’s the other part of the reason why I took the part-time phone-sex gig. He’d become meek, almost unsure of himself when he’s around any other woman except for his Mistress. I tried to figure out exactly what happened because it had really putting a strain on things.
    “Nothing’s wrong with me; I’ve actually never felt more secure
