David walked across the sundeck and stepped under the canvas awning. He sat in a chair across from the prince and watched him devour a pastry with some type of cream filling.

“Why do you wish to irritate me like this, my friend?” asked the prince.

A Cheshire-cat grin spread across David’s lips. He knew the prince liked him for the very reason he was scolding him. When you spend your every waking moment sur

rounded by sycophants it can be refreshing to be treated with a little insolence.

“Your Highness, I am almost ready to implement your plan.” David referred to it as the prince’s plan even though it was his own. “There are many things to be done, and as we’ve discussed there is little room for error.”

The prince set his drink down and shifted forward in anticipation. “How close are we?”

“Close.”

“Close,” repeated the prince with irritation in his voice. “Don’t tell me ‘close.’ I want details.”

“You have all the details you need, my prince,” David replied in an even voice.

The prince struggled in his sea of pillows to straighten up and in frustration barked, “Do I need to remind you who you are speaking with?”

Casually, David took off his sunglasses and placed them in his breast pocket. “I will never forget what you have done for me and my people, my prince. You are one of the few who truly care, and among those few you are the greatest of our heroes. But we have been through this before, and for your own good there are certain things you are better off not knowing.”

The seemingly heartfelt homage appeared to calm Omar for the moment. “Come sit by me and whisper these things in my ear. I release you of your worries. I will decide what I am better off not knowing.”

David did not move. “My prince, once I tell you, there is no taking it back. If things go wrong you could be implicated.”

“I thought you were taking care of that.”

“I am, and that is why I cannot stay here today and enjoy your gracious hospitality. I need to get to Amman for a meeting. A meeting that will throw the dogs off your trail if things don’t go the way we’ve planned.”

Omar plucked another pastry from the mound and took a large bite. With a red filling oozing from the corners of his mouth he asked in a quiet voice, “When will it start?”

While David pondered how much he should tell him, a servant stepped forward and handed the prince a steaming white hand towel. The prince cleaned his lips and jet black goatee and then tossed the towel to the deck.

David watched the servant pick it up and then said, “The action will start very soon, my prince.”

“How soon?” Omar asked eagerly.

“Soon.”

“Within the month?”

David shook his head. “Sooner.”

“In weeks?”

Smiling just slightly he answered, “Within the week, my prince.”

The prince clapped his hands together and nodded enthusiastically. “This is good news. This is wonderful.”

As the prince reveled in the news, a nubile young woman with flowing blond hair stepped onto the deck wearing only a sheer robe. She approached the prince and ran her fingers through his hair. In French she asked him why he had left her. Omar pushed her away, telling her to go lounge in the sun until he was done. The woman stuck out her lower lip and walked past David, giving him a flirtatious wink.

The prince watched her with great interest and said, “David, turn around and look at her. She is perfect.”

David looked over his shoulder just as the statuesque woman undid her robe and let it fall to the floor. The view was not bad. A pair of white thong panties were all that she wore. David admired her curves as she raised her hands above her head and stretched. Turning back to the prince he smiled and said, “Very nice.”

Omar had a lascivious grin on his face. “There is another one just like her. If you stay tonight, you can have them both.”

Yeah, and I’ll bet you’ll tape the whole thing, David thought. In addition to a fetish for taping his visitors, there were other things that worried him even more about the prince, but he did not want to dredge all that up right now. “Your offer is very kind, but I have too much to do, and besides I need to keep my mind clear.”
