Mikumbi and his apprentice, Msolumsi lay in bed in a lover's embrace after a night of love making. Msolumsi's rested on her teacher's hairy chest, while one of Mikumbi's arms wrapped around his apprentice's slender body. The sun's golden rays lit the lavish room of Mikumbi's beautifully constructed tree house. A sense of bliss came over him as he looked down at the woman of his dreams lying on him. His Ikwubaran queen. She made the life of a wizard warrior much more bearable. If only they could stay in bed for the whole day, just making love and snuggling. Unfortunately, a sorcerer's work is never over. Potions to be made, books to be written, workouts to be done and apprentices to be trained. Speaking of apprentices.

  “Wake up, sleepy head,” said Mikumbi while prodding Msolumsi.

  She continued to sleep. Her torso moved up and down with every breath.

  “Come on, time to get up,” he said a little louder and prodded a little harder.

  Message finally received. She yawned and stretched her arms.

  “Habari za asubuhi, mwalimu,” she said while rubbing her semi-tired eyes.

  “Morning, apprentice, I hope you slept well. We've got a lot of stuff to do.”

  Disappointment lined her beautiful face.

  “Can't we just stay in bed for the whole day?” She asked while kissing his chest and working her way up to his neck.

  “No... we can't...,” he replied, trying to maintain his focus and not succumb to her manipulative ways. It was hard... in more ways than one and she noticed.

  “Really. I think 'he' wants to stay in bed with me,” the apprentice said playfully, grabbing her teacher's hard 'wand' underneath the sheets.

  Passion ran through his body. So many impure thoughts swam in his head. He felt like he was about to lose control and bang his apprentice's brains out all day... but he was a master of self control. He would be a terrible teacher if he gave in so easily.

  “Not today, Msolumsi,” the sorcerer commanded, “We have work and training to do. Make us some breakfast while I work out.”

  “Fine,” she sighed, knowing that he wasn't going to change his mind. Was she losing her charm? Still, it would be wrong for her to leave her teacher so 'stiff'.

  “I'll make you breakfast, teacher. But first I'm going to get my 'breakfast',” she said seductively while wiggling her eyebrows.

  She dived her head under the sheet and worked her way to Mikumbi's 'wand'.

  “Msolumsi, not now... Stop it... We ha-... Oh KHON...VOUM.”

  Mikumbi's eyes rolled into the back of his head.
