Chapter 62 Jealous

• Jamal thought that he might have made a mistake in his judgment. He had paced about his room all morning, watching as the table was being replaced. His thought had traveled to the way he would make love to Roksolana on the new furniture, slowly and gently this time. The result of the thought had been instant arousal he couldn't control. When he was tired of his predicament, he had gone out of the house to pick up Lady Miriam in the hope that her presence could help his situation. He had even had the thought of taking her to his house to at least eradicate the presence of Roksolana in his house. He had purposely given her the cold shoulder too, hoping that his body would understand that he was fighting against her and the feelings she aroused in him. But the sad and disappointed look on her face when she saw him with Lady Miriam hunted him. He had to get back to her and make her see reasoning. They couldn't go on having arguments forever. They had to come to a stage of compromises. Jamal stopped in his tracks and turned to the side to face Lady Miriam.
• "Lady Miriam, you have to go back to the house." He told her. At the disappointed look on her face, he spoke again. "Have the maids set up lunch for us. I'll join you there shortly." He finished and saw Lady Miriam beamed.
• Jamal watched as Lady Miriam turned around and walked back to her quarter. Why couldn't he be content with a woman who wanted to have everything to do with him? Why was his libido choosing a reluctant woman instead? When he was sure that Lady Miriam was out of sight, he took another route to the harem since he didn't want to accidentally collide with the woman on his way.
