In 16th century Paris, brothels abound, but a brothel that offers accomplished hostesses of refinement is far less common. As visitors to Paris, Colin and Owen have been happily sampling the city’s many diversions, but they haven’t experienced anything to rival the seductive talents of the lute player Sylvie. As sworn companions, the two men have vowed to share in all things a commitment Sylvie is beautifully equipped to honor, when they offer her an unforgettable duet.
Colin is a Scotsman who has come to Paris to act as a man-at-arms in the household of the young Scottish queen Mary Stuart. His foster-brother and sworn companion, Owen, a Welshman and musician, is happy to accompany Colin in exploring the many novelties of life in the most cultured city in Europe.
Sylvie is also a talented musician. Born of a wealthy family, she found herself exiled to a convent after an indiscretion which brought scandal. Knowing herself eminently unsuited for such a life, she risks the dangers of a woman alone, and eventually finds herself in a most uncommon brothel.
Madam Diane, like all Parisians, believes Paris to be the most cultured city in the world. She sets her establishment apart by offering men the experience of being entertained by women who are skilled in the arts of music, drawing, writing, scholarship, and the pleasures of the bed an uncommon combination designed to titillate, and command high fees.
Colin and Owen have determined that no woman will ever come between them. They are both drawn to the lovely and melodious lute player. They sing songs together, then offer her the subtle and energetic delights of a virtuoso duet.
As an expert in the oldest profession in the world, Sylvie knows how to simulate interest and enact desire. She also knows when to allow her natural responses to rule. Experience has taught her that her genuine enjoyment can be her most potent means of success. In this vigorous duet, she achieves that most desirable of outcomes pleasure and profit.
This story is set ten years before the beginning of the novel Beltane. It sets the erotic stage for another memorable night the two men will share with ladies of the evening.
