The day after we had to dance for the Sultan I still couldn't stop thinking about his beautiful brown eyes in which I could see the whole world.

All of the girls in Harem looked at me with a dose of jealousity while I was waiting for Lalezar to call me to get ready.

Only person that was happy because of me was Roberta who knew I would do what I want. But Margareta, who was on dance with me was pretty jealous of me.

"Valentina I saw how you danced, you did whatever was needed to seduce him," Margareta said as she walked towards us and sat next to Karla.

"Then why haven't you done it if you wanted to?" I asked her raising my eyebrow making her speechless.

"You have big opportunity, Valentina, don't mess it up," Karla said and smiled to me.

"I won't mess up this, you will see, I will win that man's heart," I said to them turning around to see that Lalezar has returned to Harem.

"Come with me Valentina, you must get ready," she said and I got up as I wanted to follow her, but at that moment everyone bowed up after agha's annonucement.

"ATTENTION! AYSE SULTAN HAZERTLERI!" everyone in Harem bowed to a young woman who I had no idea who she was. She was so beautiful and no one dared to look at her in the Harem.

"Where is the girl our Sultan saved?" she asked and everyone looked at me. I looked at her and bowed to her.

"I am," I said and she walked closer to me measuring me.

"I hope you are feeling fine now, I don't know why are you walking around the Harem when you should rest," she said so coldly to me.

"I should..." I wanted to tell her that I should go to prepare to go to Sultan, but Lalezar looked me so seriously and stopped me.

"She should still rest, Sultana. She is here now and her friends are helping her. You shouldn't worry," Lalezar said and Ayse left the Harem.

Lalezar signalised me to follow her first to Hammam, and then to get ready to go to the Sultan.

"Are you normal? How did you even want to say it to Ayse Sultan? We would get a scandal no one needs," Lalezar said to me.

"Who is that woman?" I asked her.

"She is Sultan's first wife, she is mother of his son Ahmed and daughter Hanzade, don't catch with her," Lalezar said hurrying me up to continue the preparations for halvet.

R

oberta and two other concubines followed me to help Lalezar to make me ready more faster as the night was coming.

They gave me beautiful long red dress. They curled my hair and putted beautiful necklace around my neck, everything to make me look even more beautiful to Sultan Murad, which by Lalezar's words was very picky.

Lalezar explained to me that Murad doesn't call for another women from Harem really often, because he has two wives. I have never seen them, but I was sure I will have to soon.

I followed Haci-aga and Lalezar Kalfa through the Golden Way all until Sultan Murad's chambers. They explained to me the rules so many times because they thought I would break them, but for those beautiful brown eyes I would do whatever was needed.

"Remember you shouldn't look at his eyes until he allows you, you won't speak until he allows you," Haci repeated to me for a millionth time.

"I got everything," I said to him and looked at the doors which separated me from Murad.

The doors that will decide my fate in this Palace. The doors that I might come into every more night, or I would never even have a chance to come inside.

I took a deep breath and said to myself: "you can do it, Valentina!". I knew I could do whatever I want, and nothing would stop me now.

Two aghas opened the doors of his chambers and I walked inside looking all the way to the floor.

I walked closer to him who was standing at the middle of the room. I bowed to him, went down on my knees and kissed his robe.

He putted his hand on my chin and lifted me up, lifting up my face so our eyes could meet finally.

"What is your name?" he asked me looking into my eyes.

"Valentina," I answered trying to stay calm and not to get overwhelmed by the special feeling I had next to this man.

"I hope you are feeling now well, I was really worried for you," he said to me but in those past days I recovered really well so I felt fine.

"I am fine now, but close to you I forgot about all the injuries that happened," I said making him smile at my words.

"Those beautiful blue eyes I couldn't forgot since I saw you, you came to my dreams every night," Murad whispered to my ear making another eye-contact with me which I would never ever want to stop.

"I could say the same things for your brown eyes which occupied my mind and my heart," I said looking Murad deep in his eyes making him kiss me so passionatley.

He placed his hand on my cheek and couldn't stop looking at me. Our eyes were in contact for the whole time making me feel such a passion and wish to be his. And him to be mine.

"Do you see how crazy it beats in your closeness?" I took his hand and putted it into mine and placed it on my chest where my heart was.

Murad kissed me gently and started unbuttoning my outter dress which fell down. He took me in his arms bridal style and placed me on his bed.

"No woman has done to me what you did last night. How you came into my head, I couldn't wait to see you now," Murad whispered into my ear before kissing me passionatley.

He started kissing me on the neck at first gently, but later more and more roughly. My hand was on his back. Starting from the neck he continued to kiss me lower and lower, forcing me to feel the most beautiful possible feeling of pleasure with him.

At that moment, I knew I only wanted to be with this man. I knew I wanted to give myself completely to him and have him by my side forever.
