Katti couldn't believe her ear's. Oh God, she was about to make a fool out of herself in front of these strangers. How could this happen. The sound of her heart beating could be heard through her chest. The echo in her ears took her breath away. Short quick jerks came from her body as she struggled to breath.

Alexa calm and steady watched the situation from beginning to end. First she watched the trauma hit Besher's face when he heard Katti give her description of herself. She watched as he flushed and started to choke on his food when she said her name. Watched how he recovered and could not take another bite of food. She watched as he fixed his gaze on Katti, his eyes never moving from her pretty face once he knew she was there in the same room with him. What the rest of the group said meant nothing to him if he had managed to hear what was being said at all. Now she observed, Katti struggling with her composure. Fighting to hold back her emotions. Alexa wondered if she had did the wise thing by inviting each of them here and not letting them know. Still she sat there, not wanting to cause a commotion with the rest of the group, Alexa allowed Katti her own will to ease herself and find control.

Besher went on to complete his introduction. Doha screamed out:

"Oh my god! your someguy. Wow! this is awesome, we have talked for months someguy"

"Yes I know" was his only reply.

"Alexa this is great, I have wanted to meet this man for so long" in her excitement Doha took over the conversation. "What happen to you man? We use to talk so much and you just disappeared. I use to see your nick on and message you and got no response. Wow! I can't believe my good fortune, I missed you man?"

Besher just smiled shyly.  Fada commented on her connection with someguy, saying how nice it was to finally meet the man behind the good conversation. Katti, now a little more rythematic in her breathing did not respond in anyway, she just let her head fill with thoughts that seemed to cause her body to spasm even more.

{Yes, he was a real ladies man} she thought {a smooth talker, been around the block more than once by the looks of it.} Well she wasn't going to allow him being here to alter her one little bit, no she was going to be very much in self control, she'd show him. Mustafa smiled, he took notice of the situation right off the bat. He knew his sister too well. The very fact that she had invited these guest to her home, gave him food for thought and now, just watching he realized what was taking place. Who exactly was Alexa trying to help here. The most effected by the situation was Katti and Besher. Katti had been here once before, a few weeks back so Mustafa concluded it must be her Alexa was going to help.

Mustafa knew his sister and her closeness to unknown. How she read people and somehow could see the outcome or future of certain things. A smile spread across his lips, the weekend was going to be interesting after all. Right after dinner was over Mustafa rushed around the table to grab Katti's chair.

"Here let me help you up"  flashing his most innocent smile at her.

Then he turned to be a gentleman and helped Doha up also. Fatawa was already out of her chair. Hasson hurried around catching the gentleman routine and grabbed at Alexa's chair. Hasson had always considered himself a ladies man. The world was full of beautiful women and he was going to enjoy a few along the way. What better way than to have the elusive Alexa at his fingertips he thought. He knew that she invited him here just to meet him and get to know him better. She would have liked to invite him alone but her little routine with morals and honor had to be considered. So this was her way of getting him here and still keeping it simple. Well he had more ideals about this weekend than she could imagine. He would have her eating out of his lebanese hands by Sunday, just watch. A devilish grin touched his handsome face as he smiled at Alexa. She too smiled thanking him so politely.

They retired to the living room to sit for some more idle chat. Alexa took up most of the conversation telling them of her plans for the weekend.

"Being arabs, I find most of you have never been on a horse, so this weekend is dedicated in taking you back to what is rightfully yours. Your heritage of the Arabian Horses. I will teach you to love the animals and we will start early tomorrow morning. I will give you guys a taste of what I go through everyday of my life when here on the ranch."

"Oh that will be wonderful Alexandria" Behser barely whispered.

Alexa gave them a small introduction of the property as she walked the men down to the barn. Katti decided to stay behind. Pointing out the boundaries of her property compared to the massive state land beside her. She explained she was landlocked in over 6000 acres.

"What does landlocked exactly mean?" Behser asked:

"Well the state owns all the land here and for the next 200 years nothing can be built on it. That means I will have no neighbors or houses, construction of any kind going up around here. Yet being in this spot I have legal access to all of the land to roam, hunt, ride and enjoy to my hearts desire. I just can not build on it, nor put fences up. The use of the land is mine as long as I wish. The grounds were considered a wild life preservation area, and just across the river there is a National State Park, so its like having my own private sanctuary the size of all of Brooklyn" she smiled.

"Oh Wow! Alexandria that is wonderful hamdallah"

They strolled the barn. Besher was excited to see the horses. The massiveness of their size overwhelmed him. Yet he was more than willing to touch them and caress them. He had dreamt of riding the great Mon Sufi many times. He always felt very close to Alexandria. Somehow she brought out a side of him that was different than most he had showed. At one time he had pondered thoughts of her, but he knew she was untouchable so he let his thoughts turn into friendship. Alexa wa probably his best friend when it came to the female sexes.

Coming upon the section in the barn with the Stallions, there was Mon Sufi with his silver neck hanging out the stall waiting for his mistress to approach him. His neck arched and he snorted, his nostrils flared as he tossed his head back and forth letting out neighs as if he was talking to her.

"Yes my lovely, I am coming" she cooed

At once they all could see the difference Mon Sufi showed when Alexa put her hands on his neck and gently patted him....she cooed at him and kissed his cheeks...and he mellowed out like a little boy.
Alexa told everyone to stand back as she opened the door to let him out into the center isle.

A gasp came from Hasson "damn, is he safe. I don't want to get mangled here he's hugh"

Alexa giggled : "Have faith, I trained him"

Upon his exiting the stall the guest fled to the sides of the isle and Mon Sufi strutted up and down the isle snorting and raring on his hind feet. Stomping at each stall and flinging his head toward the bars of the stalls. The other horses moving out of his reach.

"What is he doing?" Doha asked

"He is telling all the other Stallions that he is the boss, the King of the Arabians, at least in this barn" Mustafa replied. "He is doing his man think, you know strutting around thinking he is all of that."

A laugh came from the crowd.

"Ahhhh but he is all of that" Alexa stated profoundly.

Snapping her fingers and cooing Sufi turned and came galloping toward her she raised her hand and the Stallion went up on his back feet, slinging his front hooves in the air in a stomping motion.

"Oh my god she is going to be killed" came a shout.

Just then Sufi came down and stood perfectly still. Alexa moved her hand to the side and he stretched his massive neck in the same direction without moving his feet. She reversed to the other side so he could arch and show off his massive muscled toned body. Now she moved her hand lower and said back up, which he did immediately. She asked for him to count with his right leg, Sufi began to tap out the numbers that were said "one, two, three, four and five, now reverse" The other leg went into motion. Alexa petted his head. She asked for a kiss which Sufi seemed only happy to place on her cheek and nibble at her ear. Sufi bowed, kneeled on his forelegs, rolled over on his side while Alexa sat on him, she wrapped her arms around his neck and told him to lift her to safety. He raised his body slowly as if she was a baby, got up and slowly walked with Alexa hanging onto his neck curled on his back in a fetal position to the sawdust pile in the middle of the riding arena. There he lowered his massive body again and rolled over for her to slide off. She laughed and laid there in the soft woodchips...and told him to strut his stuff. He reared in the middle of the arena and let out neighs that sounded like cries of fury. From one end of the arena to the other he stormed. The sound of his hooves hitting the dirt sounded like thunder. His feet all four at a time flew off the ground as he lunged into the air. Then with the soft purr of a kitten she moaned and told him to come and lie down beside her. He gallop was such a speed everyone in the group felt the tinge of fear in the pit of their stomach for Alexa. Yet the Stallion slid to a stop as if there was chalk right there in front of her, bent his massive neck down nibbling at her hair, flared his nostrils to take in her aroma and slowly bent his knees until he fell upon the ground with a graceful motion, rolling over to his side and tying down flat putting his nose in her lap. Alexa scratched at his nose gently, and talked to him like he was human.

"You are such a show off."

Sufi neighed gently in her lap.

"Now my lovely you must go back inside your stall and allow me to attend to my guest. You will have another chance to show off tomorrow" Alexa patted his neck and raised her hand. Sufi lifted himself and Alexa up. She stood there and he moved softly and gently to his stall entered and waited for her to come and close the stall door. Which she did.

"Oh my goodness Alexandria, I have never seen anything like that before." Besher said.

"Sufi  is truly a Champion" she laughed " and tomorrow you will be riding such horses all of you.

Bidding them goodnight and leaving Mustafa there to attend to her male guest's needs she excused herself and escorted her female guest back to the house.

"Morning comes early here, 5 am we get up to feed so hope you can get a good nights rest" Alexa left them each at their separate bedroom , while she crossed the house and went up a level to get to her own room. Each of them went to bed that night with thought's in their heads. Doha was thinking of Alexa and her strength with the Horses, and wondered if it worked as well with men. Fadawa was thinking of Mustafa, wondering what kind of women he liked and what was behind his exterior. Hasson, thought how great it would be to be that Stallion and be in Alexa's hands but he would be quite so easy to tame. Besher lied there thinking of Alexa and the horse. How long he had waited to meet this woman and then his thoughts turned to Katti. Her pretty blue eyes, her gentle smile, his mind went over conversations they had in the past. The way she spoke and the way she saw things. He smiled he was so happy to be here this weekend. He was going to have to tell Alexa how special this weekend was to him. Somewhere in his thoughts he found sleep. Mustafa was just pondering over what was behind all this goings on. Katti found no sleep, she lied there in the bed and contemplated going home in the morning. When a knock came on her door.
