Being part of a harem isn’t all that bad. Not if the man is Leto Atreides. And not if he takes a noticeable, and completely enviable, liking to you.

Where the other women have bruises on their wrists and backsides, you receive a necklace of red marks from the gentle sucking on your neck. Where the others walk tenderly because he made them beg for harsher treatment, you’re tender too—but only because you had to beg him to stop, the sweet, syrupy orgasms threatening to render you completely useless.

He hates them. Detests them, the vile witches. He refuses to touch them.

But you... you, he adores.

The things he calls the other women… well, you don’t want to repeat them. But you are his “beauty” and his “love.”

“My beauty,” he might say, leaning over your body as he worships her body. "There’s a good girl. Hold me tighter. Tighter. Unburden me of my release and give me a son to command the universe. Give me a daughter with a face like her mother’s—to break hearts and submit men to her will. Only you will give me a babe.”

The gifts he gives are never unwelcome. Dresses you wear so he can enjoy taking them off again. Jewelry he likes to see shine in the lamplight against your naked skin. Fresh flowers. Very good wine.

On Leto’s most difficult days, you comfort him with your presence. You lay your head in his lap, while he strokes your head in silent appreciation until sleep takes him. Or you kneel below the desk in his sitting room—he feeds you candies while he works, lets you suck his fingers, nuzzle against his thick thighs. You straddle him on his bed as he mouths at your breasts, murmuring over and over, pleading with you to be the one to bear his children. Because he could not withstand tasting anyone but you.

Only you can soothe him. Only you can calm the storm inside.

The Bene Gesserit want to send Leto more women, but he won’t hear of it. He detests his current harem, a deep contrast to the pure adoration he feels for you.
