The plan
441 Words
She made her way expertly through the bowels of the palace. Every step she took drew her closer to her goal. Drew her closer to him. The love of her life.
He was tall and well built. Dark hair pulled back along his neck . He stood bare chested in front of a large fire, a thin layer of sweat covered his copper skin. He was surrounded by several other men doing a morning prayer ritual. He straightened himself and gazed around the room. His dark eyes rested on her and he smiled widely. He dismissed the other men and strode over to her. He bowed deeply in front of her, a seductively wicked grin stretched across his face.
“Your Majesty.” He said standing upright.
She smiled at him and wrapped her arms around him. He drew her closer to his body and kissed her deeply parting her lips with his tongue. She sighed into his mouth and deepened the kiss.
“You are troubled, my Love.” He stated as they broke apart. She nodded and took his hand into hers. He led her into his quarters and shut the door.
Hours later she sat in his bed and watched him move about the room.
“ I hear congratulations are in order.” He stated dryly.
The Queen gagged and glared at him.
“Oh, come now Step Mother, a screaming brat isn’t all bad.”
He poured a think red liquid into a simmering cauldron and bent over it.
“Hmm” he whispered his brows furrowed in concern.
“What is it?”
“The chid, it seems, is a gift from the Gods themselves.” He whispered. “Pharaoh will love her as he loves no other.”
The queen growled as she stared at him.
“She is direct threat to OUR power. She must be eliminated, My love.”
The queen smiled at her lover and nodded her agreement. They sat in comfortable silence, thinking of ways the deed could be done. Finally they looked at each other wickedness in their eyes. The same thought had clicked with both of them at the exact same time. The plan would take years to complete but it was perfect and would rid them of both Pharaoh and the bastard daughter at almost the exact same time.
The queen smiled at her lover with satisfaction and kissed him swiftly on the lips. She departed feeling better than when she came, but he always had a way of doing that. She trekked the halls making her way back to her husband with new hope in her eyes.
