Steamy Dreams
With a start, Phaeka recognized the girl.
It was Shinatri. It was Anaria's best friend, and yet the girl was hardly recognizable right now. She was naked. Her wildly disheveled hair, minor cuts to her face and arms, and the slight bruise growing on her right cheek all spoke of rough handling. The slaves had bound her wrists in front of her with rawhide. One of them idly fondled and groped her supple breasts. Her eyes looked straight ahead, deadened almost, or like one looking from beyond a dream.
