Three Jewels
By Chris Kalyta
Three Jewels, an erotic adventure set at
the beginning of Ancient Egypt's 3rd Dynasty, takes place in a land populated
both by primitive people taking their first steps toward civilization and by
mythology. Evil Set has risen in
Nubia and turns his gaze upon the gleaming treasure that is the Land of the
Nile, and all he comes across fall under his spell. As chaos threatens the very existence of Egypt, can Imhotep,
King's Vizier, free his sovereign and all those he cares about from the iron
grip of this immortal foe? And
what of the task set for Imhotep by the First Queen of Egypt? Can he select one wife from three
innocent women, knowing that the two he does not choose will be put to death?
Excerpt:
Imhotep's mind was awhirl as he left the
King's chambers, and this was not the first time in his life that his mind had
raced along so many roads at the same time. He was surprised when a gentle hand interrupted his
thoughts, though. Few would dare
to interrupt the king's vizier while he was concentrating, and he had often
used this hallway because few others ventured along it.
"Imhotep," purred Queen Nefetra,
as she stepped out from behind a column, her hand sliding across images of
animal sacrifices. She had changed
clothes since Imhotep had spied her in the throne room, and her new attire was
made of the most shear fabrics and lacked her normal ostentatious taste in
jewellery, hiding no part of her from his wandering eyes. "I had hoped to have a chance to
talk with you."
Imhotep bowed low. Then he stood straight. "I am honoured, my Queen. How can I be of service to King
Netjerikhet's second wife?"
Her dark eyes flashed. Then, she smiled. "Have I not always been nice to
you, Imhotep? Nicer than cruel
Nebti?"
He stiffened. "Queen Hetephernebti has never been cruel to me. I am honoured to serve so holy a
family."
"You know what I speak of,
Imhotep." She walked slowly
around him, but each warily kept their eyes on the other. "Look at what she has subjected
you to today. You must choose a
wife. Two innocent girls are to be
put to death, because you choose a third.
And such lovely young women!
How will that weigh upon you when their heads roll free upon the cold
stone floor or when their limbs are twisted off by ravenous crocodiles? Is that really the proper way to treat
the king's vizier?"
"I am not privy to the plans of the
king and queen. One might as well
ask to be privy to the thoughts of Ra, or Horus."
"Oh, come now. A clever man such as you must have come
to some conclusions about what passes through the minds of your
masters." She stopped in
front of him and crossed her arms across her chest, lifting her breasts a
little. She smelled of exotic
spices. "Three women to stay
with you, one after the other?
You, who has always been too occupied to enjoy the pleasures offered by
my sex. She means to sap your
vitality, Imhotep. She means to
make you weaker, to render you impotent.
She fears your connections with the king. Can you not see that?"
"I am loyal to the king."
She came closer and her breasts barely
touched his robes. She whispered,
"Do you not see that we could be of service to each other? Think on what might happen were my
charms coupled with your intellect."
She leaned against him until he could feel her breasts press the fabric
of his robes against his chest.
"We might make a hot fire together, Imhotep, a fire that would
sweep across this land and leave a fertile soil in which we might plant our
seed."
He took a step back, and suddenly
remembered to breath.
"Think of what Egypt could be like,
Imhotep. And then come to me if
you feel the need."
She gave him a sly smile, then slowly spun
on her sandaled feet and walked away.
She did not look back.
Imhotep watched her go, then took several
deep breaths and was glad for the fact that his robes hung loosely over his
body. Queen Nefetra had spoken
blasphemy about the king, but she had also awoken something within Imhotep, at
least temporarily.
