Idola theatri
It was nearly midnight when the lovers have found the strength to leave the door to the apartment Aletheia.
Tanais back on the bed, still keeps the warmth of their bodies, and tried to sleep, but the memory involuntarily drew pictures of it, from which blood boils in the veins, and ran over the body trembling. She tried to pray, but instead of the mouth of God whispered the name of his beloved.
Suddenly the door opened and entered the room Aletheia.
- She did not know ... - fallen on the edge of the bed, she whispered, but, seeing that the Tanais in no hurry to take her in his arms, raised his proud brow. - You do not love me?
Tanais was silent, tense deciding who is in front of it - a favorite or a strength born of desire indistinguishable copy.
- Kiss me - passionate whisper Tanais burned face, but she pulled away, continuing to stare in disbelief in the face of midnight guest.
- Why will not you kiss me?
- Because I do not kiss with ghosts.
- I'm not a ghost, and if you kiss me, I'll be able to see this in person ... - he answered with a sly chuckle Aletheia and delicate, high breasts clung to his chest Tanais. Weary fire of desire ran through the veins of Tanais, but an effort of will she suppressed passion ready to break out and pulled away.
- We are courageous. After suffering through the night.
- Are you afraid of losing precious trinkets, luxury and tranquility? Or the mistress of all this splendor made too strong an impression on you? Well ... Everyone chooses only what he deserves. Goodbye - with a sneer on his lips Aletheia beautiful rose and regal gait walked to the door.
The agonizing question again seized the heart of Tanais.
- Do not be angry. I'm just afraid to make a mistake by taking the ghost of you.
- Yes, if you do not care?
Tanais inquisitively looked at his visitor with a sigh of relief and leaned back against the pillows.
- This question can only set the copy. Go away!
Copy swayed as the fabric is shaken by the wind, it became transparent, like the air, and suddenly vanished, like a sugar cube in the water.
Tanais indifferently watched all the metamorphoses and when the copy is completely melted in the air, wiped his forehead with his hand. She recalled the words Tomiris, said when we first met: "You no danger but the danger prisoner in your own desires" - and it seemed to her that she began to better understand the meaning contained in them.
