21 Mercenaries of Gor
John Norman
Chronicles of Counter-Earth Volume 21


1 What Occurred Outside Samnium
УI do not know about other women,Ф she said, Уbut I am one who wishes to belong
to a man, wholly,Ф
УBeware your words,Ф I cautioned her.
УI am a free woman,Ф she said. УI can speak as I please.Ф
I could not gainsay her in this. She was free. She could, accordingly, say what
she wished, and without requiring permission. She stood before me. She had dared
to brush back her hood. She had unpinned her shimmering veils, permitting them
to fall about her throat and shoulders. A soft movement of hands and a shake of
her head had thrown her long, dark hair behind her back. She had dark eyes. Her
face was softly rounded. It was delicate and beautiful.
УYou have unpinned your veil,Ф I observed.
УYes,Ф she said.
УYou are brazen,Ф I said.
УYes,Ф she said, insolently.
I mused, considering this. It is not difficult, of course, to take insolence
from a woman.
УWhy have you unpinned your veil before me?Ф I asked.
УPerhaps you will like what you see,Ф she said.
УBold female,Ф I observed.
She tossed her head, impatiently.
УDo you have the least inkling as to what it might be, to belong to a man,
wholly?Ф
УDo you find me pleasing?Ф she asked.
УAnswer my question,Ф I said.
УYes,Ф she said.
I wondered if this is true. It might be. She was Gorean.
(pg. 7) УNow, she said. УAnswer mine!Ф
УDo not court an altercation in your condition, unless you are prepared to
accept it, in its full consequences,Ф I said.
She shuddered. She lowered her eyes. УIt is said that there is in every woman
that which I sense so fearfully, yet longingly, in myself.Ф
УI wonder if that is true,Ф I said.
УI do not know,Ф she said, Уbut I know that it is in me, passionately, strongly,
irresistibly.Ф
УYou are bold,Ф I said.
УA free woman may be bold,Ф she said.
УTrue,Ф I granted her.
УI need this for my fulfillment, to be one with myself,Ф she said.
УSpeak clearly,Ф I said. She was free. I saw no point in making it easy for her.
УI want to be a total woman, in the order of nature,Ф she said.
I shrugged.
УMy heart cries out,Ф she wept, Уwith the need to be accepted, to be acquired,
to be owned, to be mastered, to be forced to submit, to be forced to will-lessly
and selflessly serve and love!Ф
