was eager for some action. The invasion never came. It was never explained just who was going to do the invading.
Now, after all that, he had been assigned to guard the wing of the Imperial Palace where the Germans lived.
He and his comrades didn't like the Germans. They acted so superior. They were outcast Germans. Pariahs. They wore plain-looking uniforms and they looked ridiculous. Yet they marched and drilled as if preparing for a great war. What war?
Lee Dan looked up at the moon and shifted his rifle. It was a big, fat, romantic moon. He wished he had a woman.
There was a girl member of the Red Guards who interested him. She had flashing black eyes. He had taken her out twice but could never make any headway. Once she had allowed him to touch her as if she was giving him something precious. He made up his mind that if he took her out again he would demand she go to bed with him or he would never see her again.
A twig snapped and his mind cleared of his thoughts. "Who is that?" he demanded sharply.
"It is only I," a voice came from the shadows. "Lotus."
Lotus. He knew her. She was a prostitute who catered to the Germans. The Germans had all the luck. Lotus was very beautiful. He supposed that she was here to enter the wing where the Germans lived. Well, he wasn't going to let her through. Even if he could, he wouldn't. Just for spite. A Chinese girl going to bed with white men. And Germans.
He saw her in the moonlight, walking toward him. That dress. So tight. Her sharp breasts moved slightly as she walked. He felt like cracking her skull with his rifle butt.
No, he didn't. He didn't feel like that at all.
His body churned with desire. Yes, damn it. He wanted her. What man in his right mind wouldn't want such a beautiful creature. He managed a scowl.
"What do you want?" He made his voice stern.
Lotus stood just a foot away from him. "I think I am lost"
"You can't fool me- You know the Germans live here. You're looking for a German lover for tonight Well, you can t get through. So be off, Chinese slut."
Lotus stiffened. "Raper of women, killer of babies. Watch your tongue or I'll cause you to lose it."
"Just be off. I have my orders."
"I am not looking for Germans." Her voice became soft. "I was lonely. Have you ever been lonely?"
He couldn't believe his ears. Was Lotus making herself available to him? He wasn't that lucky. Then a thought struck him. Yes, of course. It was a matter of money. Perhaps she couldn't find any customers this night so she decided to try the guards. "I have six yuan in my pockets. That is all the money I have."
"I do not wish money, my friend." She laughed lightly.
"What do you wish, then?"
"An hour of your time. If you can spare it?" He looked about him. If he was caught off his post he would be brought up on charges. His superiors were very strict about that And he was under the immediate supervision of the Germans. There was no telling what they would do.
Lee Dan shook his head with much regret. "I am sorry, Lotus. I am on duty. Another night, perhaps?" Curse the luck. After he had wished for such an opportunity Lotus had shown herself but he had to turn down her sweet and generous offer.
"Behind me is thick woods," Lotus reminded him. "A bed of soft grass and we will be comfortable. Nothing happens here. You will be safe. Come." She took his arm.
He shook his head rapidly. "I can't. It is so tempting. But I can't. If I leave my post…"
Lotus raised her skirt slowly. Her slim legs, her slim sleek thighs appeared. Then she took off the dress and she was naked in the moonlight. She passed her hand over her breasts. "I will not offer myself to you again. If you do not come with me you will always regret it. You will dream of me and curse yourself for acting like a child, afraid of nothing. And what if something does happen? Who will know you left your post? No one will know. Unless you tell them. And you are not that foolish, Lee Dan."
