"You'll drive me into bankrupcy!" I said. "For every two full price items, I will give you the third half off with a kiss and a song."

"The third at a quarter price, just like the cherries," I replied, enjoying the bargaining. "For I am far sweeter without the taste of them to my lips."
Turning slightly I began to walk along the shelves, perusing them. "I'm looking for a nice perfume. Do you carry any?"

I began to protest, but thought better of it. Sirena was a formidable woman, and I could afford it. "I haven't," I said, "though if you want to be original, various teas and spices can be used as sachets."

Thinking for a moment I pressed my lips into a thin line. "No, I think I'll stick to sweet things. Are there any plums in season yet? If not, I'd like to reserve them if that's possible. I'll also need some honey steeped with vanilla. What abotu candied violets?"

"Plums will come in from Ch'n in a few months, and I would be glad to reserve them for you," I said. "I do have that honey, from Khebbel-im-Akkad. The violets are native, but I'm fond of them, so I stock them."

"I thought there were violets that could be imported for menheket that ranged further," I replied speculatively butnot really caring. "Then that should be three items. The plums, the honey and the candied violets. I'll even be nice and let you pick the one that gets three-quarters off."

"The plums are 6 ducats a pound when they come," I said, "honey is four ducats a jar, and the violets are two." I held out my hand. "That's ten ducats 50 my lady."

I handed him the money without a second thought- it was a good deal, considering the care and expense it took to bring the items from Chi'in in good condition. "What song pleases you this time, cousin?" I asked with my most charming and winning of smiles.

"When She Held Me In Her Arms," I said. It was a fairly common drinking song, but the words were so lovely.

With a nod I hummed to myself, setting the range I wanted to use, then began. The simple musicality of the words flowed from between my cherry-stained lips until I was done and the sounds slowly emptied from the room. It was always my joy to sing, as much as it was my passion to be Shahrizai.

This time I did not wait to kiss her. Sweeping her into my arms, I crushed her mouth against mine, parting her lips with my tongue and biting down, not too hard, on her lower lip.

Purring with pleasure to feel the passion in him I still dragged my nails over the skin of his neck, just shy of drawing blood. No man, even Shahrizai, would treat me as a bloody plaything to be battered around without getting battered in return. Then again, it was also because I found pleasure in it, the closeness of nearly having blood welling through my fingers. Curiousity also played a part- how would he react?

Her nails on my neck ignited the Shahrizai fire in me, and I pressed her close, my arms hard around her body, as my phallus started to harden. "Shall we take this further, cousin?" I growled against her mouth, pressing her rear with my hand so that she was right up against my groin.

Oh, I did love to play. "That depends how much you believe you can take and if you think your shop and customers will miss you," I replied in a smiling, sweet and steady tone. One thing I did possess, even with my madness, was a great deal of willpower. It made up for the lack of such in my physical form.

If there was one thing that come before all else, even the sweetest pleasures, it was my business. Reluctantly, I loosened my grip. "Come to my home for dinner tonight," I said low in her ear, "and then we will see how much you can take." We had the same blood, she and I. She believed she could best any man, and I was ready for the challenge.

Pouting prettily but knowing I would go- I was too competitive not to- I replied in a whisper of my own, "Then be prepared, cousin. I like to play with toys."

"Be prepared, cousin," I whispered back. "I will play your body like a harp and you will sing to my tune."

"I think you forget which of us is a musician- as well as older and wiser," I replied with another sweet, sly smile, then turned and made my way out. "Please see my things delivered to my townhome when possible," I called over my shoulder,carryign the box of cherries. It would be a lovely evening.

I watched her go, then penned a note to one of my delivery boys. She would get hers, all right.
