Thabit has been given orders to put down a possible band of renegades on the border of Thebes.  The orders have been given by Tutankhameun’s uncle, the real power behind the throne while the king is still a boy.  But, Thabit wants to make sure first that these rebels aren’t maybe allies.  But, orders are orders.  Before leaving, Thabit and his men enjoy the gifts of wine, women and song.  Except that Thabit has a different longing and it comes in the form of Akil, a handsome scribe.  Together, they secure a private place to fulfil their longing for each other, as any public show could mean Thabit’s bannishment or worse.  One last night together then Thabit must leave early in the morning to defend his beloved Thebes. 

Sabrina Luna draws her readers back into ancient Egypt, to a land of hot sun, velvet nights and even hotter men.  In this short story, she gives the readers a glimpse into the intrigues of the Egyptian court and makes sure her readers hunger for more.  Ms. Luna’s prose is almost poetical, the love scene between Thabit and Akil very hot and the secondary characters pivotal to the plot.  This is a quickie for lovers of man-sex with lots of deep emotion and a story that this reviewer thought was just way too short.  This reviewer would love to see more of these two lovers and more of the story too.  Hopefully, Sabrina Luna will again bring readers back into the delightful world of Thabit and Akil.
