“My Pharaoh, I make no attempt to excuse my actions, but you must know that I had no love for the high priest. He came to me one day more than a year ago, and…” I was so filled with shame I wanted to die. “I permitted him the use of my body. Beyond claiming to be ensorcelled, I cannot explain how I would do such a thing, given my feelings, but I did. Today, when you touched me, it was as if the scales fell from my eyes, and I knew the rumours I’d heard about him…about us…were true.”
“My touch?”
“Somehow, the fact that we are twins managed to break the spell.”
“Rise, My brother.”
I rose to my feet, wincing at the feel of the phallus shifting inside me, no longer finding it the least bit pleasurable.
