I couldn’t tell if that was a good or bad thing.
“The only similarity is that I’ve always been drawn to rare treasures. And you, Ash, are a hidden gem.”
I smiled at him. “So then what happened?”
“She’d steal glances at me.”
“While blowing the Sultan?”
Tanner shrugged.
“Wait.” He’d told me something about this girl once. “I thought she was some poor girl you brought scraps to and taught how to read?”
“Yeah, they didn’t feed the harem girls much. They wanted to keep them nice and slim. And harem girls had no use for reading.”
I looked down at my baggy sweatpants. So Tanner had been in love with an incredibly thin redhead? Is that why he laughed and said we were nothing alike? I shook the thought away. He’d just called me a hidden gem. I didn’t need to compare myself to someone from 300 years ago. If I did, I’d drive myself crazy. And I was probably only barely holding on to sanity as it was. Public speaking and being late in the same day was the main driver of insanity. Or so I thought.
“I tried to put her out of my mind,” continued Tanner. “But I couldn’t do it. Every time I hung out with the sultan, I hoped he’d call for her. But when weeks went by without being able to see her, I got desperate. So I dressed up as a eunuch and went to visit her by the river that ran through the palace.”
No wonder he was mad at me for being mean to the eunuch.
“I started doing that regularly. Bringing her food and teaching her how to read. We planned to run away together on a ship. There was just one problem… I was betrothed to the sultan’s daughter, Princess Karima.”
“Right. That bitch from the genie council.” I hated her.
“That bitch indeed.”
“Is she the one who discovered you were planning to escape with Sapphire?”
“No, that was...”
“Wait! Don’t spoil it! Can I try to see the memory again? I promise I’ll be good. I won’t touch your penis or harass the eunuchs.” I crossed my fingers behind my back. Because there was no way I could keep my greedy little goblins off my favorite dick.
“Fine. As long as you promise to be good.”
I kept my fingers crossed and nodded.Give me that cock!
He snapped his fingers again.

Flashback to 1707
Tanner
I walked into the sultan’s room and saw Sapphire on her knees in front of the sultan. Her eyes met mine as the sultan shoved his cock down her throat.
Fuck.I tried my best not to look at her. But I wanted her to be on her knees in front of me. And I wanted it to be my cock down her throat.
I took a deep breath. We’d escape soon. I just needed to endure this a little longer. I glanced back at her as she bobbed up and down on his cock. I cleared my throat. “You called for me, your Majesty?”
“Indeed. We need to discuss your wedding to Princess Karima.” His fingers tightened in Sapphire’s hair.
I clenched my jaw. It should have been my hands in her hair. “What about it?” I said through gritted teeth. I didn’t want to marry Princess Karima. She didn’t look at me the way Sapphire did. Honestly, I’d barely spent any time with Princess Karima at all. I didn’t know her. And I didn’t want to. I was already in love.
I watched Sapphire shift forward. She stared at me like she was wishing the same thing. Like she’d do anything for her mouth to be on me instead.
“Have you ever been with a woman?” the sultan asked.
