    Summary

    “The options are endless,” Paul smirked, a rare expression for him. “That’s the Bene Gesserit way: learn a thousand ways to kill a man and another thousand ways to pleasure him. They're directly related, are they not, Mother?"

    “The same dexterity, the same precision, the same intimacy that goes into loveplay also goes into violence— into killing. Nothing is closer than a clash of flesh, whether it may be violent or loving. The same knowledge you have of an opponent’s body can be used to pleasure a lover, just as it can be used to find the right place to strike and make their defenses shatter like glass."

    Paul and Jessica share a tense training session, intensified by his dreams of her and his own confusing feelings and desires. Inspired by glimpses of a deleted scene from Part One found in The Art and Soul of Dune.

    Summary

    Leto felt his face redden with mortification. She must have noticed his expression because she added, uncharacteristically flustered, "No—I meant that—I was not expecting it, and it shocked me."

    "I see. Forgive me, I should not have—sprung it upon you without first asking—"

    Jessica shook her head. "No, I should be the one who's sorry—how silly of me—"

    They were caught in a cycle of apologies, Leto for his action, Jessica for her reaction. But then Jessica said, "If it pleases you, my lord, then of course you may do so."

    But his entire intention had been to please her! And then he wondered, with growing panic, if Jessica had ever simply endured any of his ministrations because she thought it her duty.

    Pre-canon, Leto POV. Leto tries something in the bedroom that surprises Jessica. They talk it over, and try again later to great success.

    Summary

    In another life, Jessica would be stuck by the impropriety of it all; the middle of the day, clothes only half removed and strewn about his office but the desire that sluices through her veins silences any shame attached to those thoughts
