Chosen by the Sheikh

“You can’t know that. You aren’t a doctor—” He stopped, amended the statement when she arched an eyebrow. “Not that kind of doctor.”
She walked into the steamy shower and stood under the spray. “I simply need him to confirm something for me.”
Why would she need a doctor to confirm…?
And then it hit him. His knees felt suddenly weak, his heart thudding into his throat. He realized that Genie had opened her eyes and was watching him.
“Are you…? Do you mean…?” He couldn’t find the words.
Genie smiled and opened her arms. “Why don’t you join me?”
He ripped off his clothes and stepped under the spray, taking her into his arms. “No more digging in the dirt in the middle of the hot day, Genie,” he ordered. “And no more crawling into dank tombs beneath the temples.”
“Yes, Your Majesty,” she said. “Besides, I doubt I’ll be able to get inside those narrow spaces in the next few months anyway.”
“I love you,” Zafir said. “More than you can ever imagine.”
Her eyes sparkled. “Oh, I can imagine a lot.”
“So can I, thanks to you.”
And then he proceeded to show her the depths of his very creative imagination.
