“Your features and personality are so similar to Zarria’s that I convinced myself I loved you rather than face the truth. My sense of frustration and desperation turned into obsession. I am so sorry for what I did to you.”

“What are you saying, Atia?”

“I’m telling you I’m in love with Zarria.”

His eyes widened in surprise, but he said nothing.

“You’re in love with Zurvan’ssister?” Celeste asked, not sure she had this quite right.

She turned to Celeste. “It was not acceptable for a woman to love another woman in our world. Even now, the Djinn frown on such relationships. But if Zarria is of like mind, I will pair with her happily, ignoring what others think of us.”

“Good for you, Atia,” Celeste commended. “I wish you happiness.”

Atia smiled, a dazzling sight. “Actually, you already have.” She took Celeste’s hand. “Thank you. I will never forget your compassion. I hope you and Zurvan will be very happy together.”

Atia wished her and Zurvan happiness? Together?

“Does this mean you will free Zurvan from the crystal?”

Atia snapped her fingers.

“It is done.”

She snapped her fingers again, then turned to Zurvan.

“And the two of you shall have eternity together.”

She kissed Zurvan on the cheek.

“I am truly sorry for the pain I have caused the two of you,” Atia said solemnly. “I hope someday you will find it in your hearts to forgive me.”

“Atia, what are you going to do now?” Zurvan asked.

“I’m going to find Zarria.” She held up a reassuring hand. “I have explained my feelings to her, and she has hinted she might be interested, but only if you approve. We know you may not be able to forgive me yet, but if you could find it in your heart….”

“I want my sister to be happy. If this is what she wants…”

A smile blazed across Atia’s face and she stepped forward and took his hand.

“Thank you, Zurvan. I will be forever grateful.” She laughed, a sound filled with joy.

“Don’t play any tricks, Atia.”

“Do not worry, I will pursue her with respect and humbleness, and I promise absolutely no imprisonment.” She winked. “Though maybe a little bondage, if Zarria is game.”

Zarria appeared in the room, handcuffs swinging from her outstretched hand.

“That sounds intriguing.” She smiled wickedly.

Atia laughed and held out her hand to Zarria. Zarria moved to her and accepted it, then pulled her into an embrace. Atia stroked Zarria’s cheek, then kissed her tenderly then with rising passion. Zarria responded with enthusiasm, clearly swept up in shared passion.

The obvious love they shared for each other warmed Celeste’s heart.

Atia’s hand stroked over Zarria’s breast, her thumb teasing the tip. Zarria’s nipple thrust against the silky fabric covering it. In response, Zarria’s hand cupped Atia’s breast, her fingers curling around the soft curve, and squeezed gently. Celeste felt her own nipples harden, and her groin tighten.

Their uninhibited nature surprised Celeste, until she remembered Atia had been quite comfortable swirling in and watching Zurvan make love to Celeste.

Zurvan shifted on the bed and cleared his throat. The two women eased apart. Atia winked at Zurvan, and Zarria giggled and blew him a kiss.
