It was 5.00 o'clock in the morning. The sun was breaking and the Iman was calling the devout to prayer.
Assia awoke and stretched her long legs, raised herself from the bed and glanced through the window contemplating the plans for the day. Master was due back today and she had a lot to do. She had been dreaming of his return, planning it. Everything must be just right - the need to please him - overwhelming.
After a light breakfast Assia dressed. Putting on her dress, her sandals and a shawl and left the house to meet a friend. Together they were going to the market. She wanted to buy some figs and fresh dates for her love. It was a seven mile trek to the market but the distance was not important. Her Master had been away a whole week - and she was so looking forward to seeing him.
An hour into the journey and the heat was becoming intolerable. Assia lost her footing and the leather strap on her left sandal snapped. She removed the shawl from around her shoulders and tied it around her foot the best she could. It was mid morning when they reached the market - and after some careful haggling - purchased the much coveted figs and dates. After a glass of the most refreshing mint tea Assia found a craftsman who repaired her shoe.
The journey home was uneventful and on their return they both headed for the hammam. After a long soak in the bath the attendant began to massage her body, rubbing in the sweet, soothing, perfumed oils. Her shoulders were burnt and quite sore from the heat of the sun - but she felt no pain. Her thoughts were only on her Master and his return. What would he want from her this night? How was she to please him? Whatever his desire - was her desire.
The attendant began to individually pluck the hairs from her body. From under her arms and legs and finally her pubic hairs. She felt no pain - for pain was pleasure. Her thoughts were of the night ahead and a rush of excitement flowed within her. Oh what a night she was planning... Her toiletrys over -Assia headed off home and began to tidy their home. She was feeling a little tired. She carefully undressed and lying naked drifted off into a contented sleep.
She felt a tug on her toe - awakening her from her dream. Her Master was standing there - he said "So my pet - have you been in bed all day?"
