"What did you ask?"

"I want my own living quarters."

"You have everything you need here."

Lana took a deep breath, "I do, but it's hard for me to sit outside whilst you entertain other women."

"Then why don't you entertain me?"

"I did not mean it that way."

"Then No."

"I can utilize the room next to yours."

"No."

"It would benefit the both of us. You could have the women for the whole night without them rushing out."

"I never sleep with any women. They're just there to entertain and then leave."

Lana was blooming with color but she carried on, "So you use them?"

"Yes."

She was beyond shocked. "What if they get pregnant?"

"They won't. I know my around the bedroom. I could show you."

Lana was now fully red. "So why change now?"

"With?"

"Me, why are you breaking your rule of not laying with a woman?"

He turned to her. "I do as I please."

Was that all he would say? There was no proper justification as to why she could not get her own quarters.

Reasoning with this man was not possible at all. He did not play by the rules; he was the law. Whatever he said, goes.

"What will it take for me to get my own quarters?"

Xerses gave her the look that she knew all too well. "I'm not entertaining you."

"Then you can wait outside when I have women."

"Don't you want to be alone? "

"For?"

"To think, and be alone, without anyone there?"

"If I wanted to, then I would have already done it. Don't you think?"

He made her feel stupid once more, "I suppose."

Lana felt resigned. This was what she would have to deal with, and could not do anything about it.

No one could defy this man, so there was no hope, nothing.

She snapped out of her thoughts when she saw Xerses stand up, and all he had was a loincloth.

He came towards her, and he now stood in front of her. What did he want?

"Tell me, what is so bad about entertaining my bed?"

She tensed a bit. "It's not for me."

Xerses looked her over, and her heart beat fast. She made eye contact with him and his eyes were filled with so much lust.

He leaned down, and she quickly turned her head. His wet lips landed on her cheek. Lana took a step back. She could not think properly with him being so close to her. "Don't."

He seemed to be now riled up, "Let me have you."

"I don't know anything about entertaining men."

"I can teach you."

"As you saw today, I don't learn very well."

"I will take my time with you."

Lana hit herself mentally, What? Was. She. Doing?

"No, I don't want."

He grinned. "Your body says otherwise."

Lana remembered that he just had a woman, and that made her a bit sick. "I'm tired, I want to rest."

"Fine, suit yourself."
