1 127 I noticed the date and froze, my hands clenched on the metallic paper.
Details

1 137 Things grew black for a moment, but I shook myself and clenched my teeth, breathed in the sharp, cold mountain air, once, twice, three times, slowly, gathering the piercing contact of reality into my lungs, reassuring myself that I was alive, not dreaming, that I held in my hands a letter with an in...

9
2 52 He smiled at me and came forward, placing his hands on my shoulders and looking into my eyes.
Details
9
2 56 We shook hands, on my part rather stiffly, yet this gesture of our common homeland somehow reassured me.
Details

2 96 He clapped his hands twice, and the panel slid back again.

3 27 With annoyance, Torm poked through one of the enormous piles of scrolls and at last, on his hands and knees, fished out one skimpy scroll, set it in the reading device—a metal frame with rollers at the top and bottom—and, pushing a button, spun the scroll to its opening mark, a single ...

3 273 He tossed me a small object which nearly fell from my fumbling hands.

4 7 I was on my hands and knees, trying to get back on my feet, too near the edge.
Details

4 163 "Then," said my father, placing his hands solemnly on my shoulders, "in virtue of my authority as Administrator of this city and in the presence of the Council of High Castes, I declare you to be a Warrior of Ko-ro-ba".
Details
9
5 42 She had risen and walked across the room, her feet bare on the stone floor, and dropped to her knees before me, lowering her head and lifting and extending her hands to me, the wrists crossed.
Details
9
5 65 The girl before me groaned and shook herself, her hands, unsteady, going to the slave hood, which was buckled over her head.
Details
9
5 105 She sat before me, stunned, her hands unbelievingly at her throat.
Details
9
5 126 On a tower of Thentis I left her, kissing her, removing from my neck her clinging hands.
Details
9
6 34 The Guards were on the roof! I leaped after the heavily robed figure, seized her, spun her around and tore from her hands the stone she carried.
Details
9
6 63 My hands flung out, grasping nothing, and I fell headlong downward into the night.
Details
9
6 132 From a wall of reeds about fifty paces to the right and thirty feet below, stumbling and screaming, came the bundled figure of a human being, running in horror, its hands flung out before it.
Details
9
6 198 A sudden tremor of fear shook her heavily robed body, and the girl's hands tried to force the implacable chitinous pincers from her throat.
Details
9
7 24 She knelt in the green stagnant water, her hands held out to me, pleading, as if she suddenly realized the full horror of her plight, what it would mean to be abandoned in the swamp forest.
Details
9
7 78 I was speechless for a moment, but then, remembering that harsh Gorean custom required me either to accept the submission or slay the captive, I took her wrists in my hands and said, "I accept your submission".
Details
9
7 117 "Unwind it, throw it to me!" Her hands tried to tear at the veil, but she was unable to unwind it, in her terror and in the moment of time left to her.
Details
9
7 118 Then the muck crept upward to her horrified eyes, and her head slipped under the greenish waters, her hands clutching wildly at the air.
Details
9
7 170 With both hands I wrenched the veil back from her face, thrusting my hand under it to fasten my fist in her hair, and then, as if she were a common tavern girl or a camp slut, I dragged the daughter of the Ubar of all Gor to the shelter of the Ka-la-na trees.
Details
9
7 172 She tried frantically to readjust the folds of her veil, but with both hands I tore it fully away, and she lay at my feet, as it is said on Gor, face-stripped.
Details
9
7 211 In fury the hands of the Ubar's daughter began to fumble with the hooks of her heavy robes.
Details
9
7 216 I turned slowly, my hands away from my body, and found myself facing two of the foot soldiers of Ar, one of them an officer, the other of common rank.
Details
9
8 63 It was only halfway from its sheath when I leaped upon him, my manacled hands seeking his throat.
Details
9
8 64 He struggled furiously, his hands trying to pry apart my fingers, his sword slipping from the sheath.
Details
9
8 65 My hands were on his throat like the talons of a tarn.
Details
9
8 73 The girl dropped the weapon, sinking to her knees and covering her face with her hands.
Details
9
8 84 "I ask your favor," said Talena, standing meekly by my side, her hands confined in front of her by the colorful slave bracelets, the leading chain still dangling from her throat.
Details
9
9 168 I caught her braceleted hands as she was going to drive the dagger into his breast.
Details
9
11 89 She placed them firmly in my hands and knelt on the tent carpet before me, her eyes filled with a strange light, her knees not in the position of a Tower Slave but of a Pleasure Slave.
Details
9
12 49 Indeed, the Frame of Humiliation would be ample vengeance to satisfy even Talena for the indignities she had suffered at my hands.
Details
9
12 79 I remember being afraid that I would never be able to use my hands and feet again, that they would never withstand the punishment of the ropes.
Details
9
12 94 As well as I could, I opened and closed my hands and moved my feet, trying to restore in them some semblance of feeling.
Details
9
12 116 I slapped his beak affectionately, as if we were in a tarn cot, and shoved my hands into his neck feathers, the area where the tarn can't preen, as the tarn keepers do when searching for parasites.
Details
9
14 10 Die though I must at the hands of this magnificent barbarian, I could feel no ill will toward him.
Details
9
14 13 In his hands he held the Stone itself, that humble source of so much strife, bloodshed and honor.
Details
9
14 25 Holding the Home Stone in both hands, Marlenus leaned forward.
Details
9
15 80 I leaped across the tent and clapped my hands across his mouth.
Details
9
15 97 I went to his locker near the mat and got out his Ka-la-na flask, taking a long draught myself and then shoving it into his hands.
Details
9
17 15 As nearly as I could determine, he and his men had been overcome, and the height of the Central Cylinder was again in the hands of the Initiates.
Details
9
17 22 It was Ar's misfortune, at this most critical time in its long history, to be in the hands of the bleakest of all castes of men, the Initiates, skilled only in ritual, mythology, and superstition.
Details
9
17 93 Then my hands clutched the mat, and I shook my head savagely to clear it of the uncontrolled tumult of emotion that rocked it.
Details
9
18 87 I scrutinized every inch and ran my hands carefully over every portion of its smooth surface.
Details
9
18 182 I slowly walked up the stairs, my hands open, free of weapons.
Details
9
19 107 Then, before anyone could stop him, he seized a sword from the scabbard of an Assassin and rushed to Talena, holding it over his head with both hands.
Details
9
19 226 The Ubar went to his daughter and took her fine head in his great hands.
Details
9
19 229 Then he clapped his hands on my shoulders.
Details
9
20 38 He clasped my hands, and, to my wonder, the little scribe was crying.
Details
9
20 47 I sat alone in the mountains, my head in my hands.

1 40 He spun like a tiger with a sudden cry of rage in some strange tongue and I found myself seized in hands like steel and with great force hurled helplessly across his knee, my spine an inch from being splintered like kindling wood.
Details
9
1 50 I took it and we shook hands.
Details
9
1 94 As he performed this gesture, he uttered some formula in that strange tongue I had heard but once before—when I had nearly perished at his hands.
Details
9
1 106 One of his fat hands nervously clutched a short leather truncheon, weighted with shot.
Details
9
1 115 The bartender and I watched with terror as Cabot's large firm hands twisted the truncheon apart, splitting the stitching, much as I might have twisted apart a roll of cardboard.
Details
9
1 124 He reached into his wallet and pressed a bill into the bartender's hands.
Details
9
1 141 He placed the manuscript in my hands.
Details
9
1 144 When, shortly after dawn, I had finished the account, I looked at Cabot, who, all the time, had been sitting at the window, his chin on his hands, watching the snow, lost in what thoughts I could scarce conjecture.
Details
9
1 170 We shook hands, and I had the strange feeling that I might never see Tarl Cabot again.
Details
9
2 37 This was as it should be, as I was of that caste, and had been since that morning, some seven years ago, when in the Chamber of the Council of High Castes I had accepted weapons from the hands of my father, Matthew Cabot, Administrator of Ko-ro-ba, and had taken the Home Stone of that city as my own...
Details
9
2 77 Needless to say, the whistle is important and carefully guarded, for should it be lost or fall into the hands of an enemy the warrior has, for all practical purposes, lost his mount.
Details
9
3 110 His hands fumbled on the cords and the great bundle of wood loosened and clattered to the stone flooring of the road.
Details
9
3 114 With the ax in his hands, suddenly he seemed to remember his caste, and he crouched in the road, there in the dusk, a few feet from me, like a gorilla clutching the broad-headed ax, breathing deeply, sucking in the air, mastering his fear.
Details
9
3 131 Step by step, he approached me, the ax held over his shoulder with both hands.
Details
9
3 139 Zosk sank down and sat cross-legged in the road, his gigantic frame shaken with sobs, his massive head buried in his hands, his thick, guttural voice moaning with distress.
Details
9
4 101 One looks into the blood in one's cupped hands.
Details
9
5 76 He seemed to shake with pain, his hands pressed against his head, trying to speak to me, trying to tell me something.
Details
9
6 154 Deliberately, with both hands, she slipped her garment some inches down her shoulders, fully revealing her white throat.
Details
9
7 94 "I accept nothing from the hands of Tarl of Ko-ro-ba," she said.
Details
9
8 95 With both hands I reached to his hood and jerked it from his face.
Details
9
9 108 It almost burned my hands to lift the pot.
Details
9
10 66 Several pairs of strong hands seized me, and I caught a glimpse of a heavy, curved, silverish object.
Details
9
11 115 Thorn, in irritation, hurled the whip back into the hands of the man with wrist straps.
Details
9
11 153 His hands clenched and unclenched.
Details
9
11 176 But the hands of Lara were extended, palms up, and she lifted them slightly; it was a gracious gesture that spoke of mercy.
Details
9
11 251 "Give it to me!" The man with the wrist straps hastily knelt before her, lifting it to her hands.
Details
9
11 253 "So," she said to me, both hands clenched on the butt of the whip, "you would have me before you on the scarlet rug bound with yellow cords, would you?" I did not understand her meaning.
Details
9
11 257 "I am a woman of Tharna," she screamed, "First in Tharna! First!" Then, beside herself with rage, holding the whip in both hands, she lashed madly at me.
Details
9
12 22 Two small hands caught it, and, struggling, managed to swing it back, keeping my balance.
Details
9
12 43 She reached into the cistern, first scraping the surface of the water to clear it of the green scum that floated there, and then, in the palms of her cupped hands, carried water to my parched lips.
Details
9
12 72 "And worse than that," she laughed, clapping her hands, "he was of the Caste of Singers".
Details
9
12 95 She clapped her hands with delight.
Details
9
13 116 I shook my head wildly; my hands, yoked helplessly, tried vainly to reach my eyes, to tear the blinding particles from my vision.
Details
9
13 123 My hands sought his, but he kept his fists clenched and withdrawn as far as he could in the bracelet of the yoke.
Details
9
13 128 Suddenly I managed to get my hands under his yoke.
Details
9
13 129 It was hot, like mine in the sun, and my hands burned on the metal.
Details
9
14 16 I moved my hands and shoulders, my back.
Details
9
14 122 My hands tried the bolt.
Details
9
14 125 My hands locked on it, trying to twist it open.
Details
9
14 141 My hands clenched even more tightly on the pieces of the bolt.
Details
9
14 147 It seemed the metal would tear the flesh from my hands, break the bones of my fingers.
Details
9
14 154 I leapt to its back and fastened my hands in the stout quills of its neck.
Details
9
14 208 The golden arms of her robe, the hands gloved in gold, were flung across her face.
Details
9
15 61 "Tabuk!" I cried again, taking the great beak in my hands and turning it toward the open fields below.
Details
9
15 75 Her hands, still in their gloves of gold, went to the golden mask, as if she feared most that it might not be in place.
Details
9
15 76 Only then did her hands try to arrange and smooth her torn robes.
Details
9
15 105 With a cry of fear the Tatrix fell on her knees before me, her hands extended, pleading.
Details
9
15 133 "No!" she cried, her hands flying to the golden mask.
Details
9
15 159 Her hands went to the mask.
Details
9
15 239 I bent down, and, with my hands and teeth, tore a chunk free.
Details
9
15 262 "Turn around," I said to the Tatrix, "and place your hands behind your back".
Details
9
15 264 I pulled the gloves of gold from her hands and thrust them in my belt.
Details
9
17 25 He thrust an onion and a crust of bread into my hands.
Details
9
17 30 Before we had been ushered into the cell, outside, in a broad, rectangular chamber, two of the mine attendants had poured a tub of bread and vegetables into the feed trough fixed in the wall, and the slaves had rushed upon it, like animals, screaming, cursing, pushing, jostling, trying to thrust the...
Details
9
17 39 Today, more than once, he had scattered the ore which, on my hands and knees, I had chipped from the narrow shafts of the mine.
Details
9
17 55 Ost lay on the damp floor, his hands on his throat, gasping for breath.
Details
9
17 75 As the slave works the tunnel, he crawls on his hands and knees, which bleed at first but gradually develop calluses of thick, scabrous tissue.
Details
9
17 117 Ost thrust his hands into the trough, and crammed a fistful of bread into his mouth.
Details
9
18 108 My hands slipped on them.
Details
9
18 118 My hands bled on the grating, the blood falling back in my upturned face, but I would not release the bars.
Details
9
19 32 He tried to crawl toward me, his hands extended.
Details
9
19 33 I put out my hands, but Kron had seized him and pulled him back.
Details
9
19 59 I climbed one of the great chains to the huge windlass set above the shaft and found myself among hundreds of cheering men, their chains struck off, their hands boasting weapons even if only a piece of jagged rock or a pair of shackles.
Details
9
19 93 And then I raised my hands again and standing on the windlass over the shaft, blown by the wind, with the moons of Gor above me, I cried.
Details
9
19 128 Andreas clapped his hands on my shoulders.
Details
9
21 27 Her hands were joined over her head and behind the tree by slave bracelets.
Details
9
21 136 His thick fingers were covered with rings, which glittered as he moved his hands.
Details
9
21 224 He clapped his hands sharply twice, and there was a scurrying and tumbling of bodies and the sound of the long chain slipping through the ankle rings.
Details
9
21 235 Two of the girls, she from Tor and one of the girls from Ar wept, their heads buried in their hands.
Details
9
21 263 But perhaps if I had better known the value of the stones? The girl's eyes looked into mine, perhaps trying to read in my eyes what would be her fate, for her fate was now in my hands, for I was her master.
Details
9
22 192 He thrust the bundle into my hands.
Details
9
22 225 She picked up the two yellow cords and, holding them in her hands, knelt before me in the position of the Pleasure Slave.
Details
9
23 64 Holding her head in my hands I looked into her eyes.
Details
9
23 108 Now it was said that entire portions of the city were in rebel hands.
Details
9
23 111 The fate of those who had not escaped rebel hands was not clear.
Details
9
23 210 What of Lara? What would be her fate at the hands of this pack of maddened, desperate men? I regarded my ragged foes, some of whom had been wounded.
Details
9
23 232 The huge, scarred hands of a Metal Worker were held out to me.
Details
9
23 236 He seized me by the hands and dragged me to the street, roughly grappling my shoulders and laughing with joy.
Details
9
24 29 When I had entered the music had briefly stopped but now Kron clapped his hands twice and the musicians turned to their instruments.
Details
9
24 36 Kron clapped his hands again and to my surprise there was a sudden sound of bells and four terrified girls, obviously chosen for their beauty and grace, stood before our table clad only in the scarlet dancing silks of Gor.
Details
9
24 64 * * * * When Kron had tired of watching the dancers, he clapped his hands twice and with a discordant jangle of their ankle bells they fled from the room.
Details
9
24 186 "I returned this girl—your Tatrix—to the Pillar of Exchanges where I gave her into the hands of Thorn, this Captain, and Dorna the Proud.
Details
9
24 235 The men of Tharna seized one another in their arms and clasped their hands in concord.
Details
9
24 243 The rebel who had been first on the chain in the mines thrust a torch in my hands.
Details
9
24 263 On the steps before the throne there stood a warrior, fully armed, who held in his hands the blue helmet of his city.
Details
9
25 35 A mirthless laugh sounded through the mask and the hands in their gloves of gold took the mask and, to my astonishment, removed it.
Details
9
25 92 The carrying basket had been attached and the woman stood in the basket, the reins in her hands.
Details
9
25 141 Her silver-gloved hands clenched in fury upon the one-strap and beneath those shimmering gauntlets I knew the knuckles, drained of blood, were white with rage.
Details
9
25 144 "Do not forget Dorna the Proud, for we have an account to settle!" The hands in their gloves of silver jerked back savagely on the one-strap and the wings of the tarn burst into flight.

5 53 I, still remaining cross-legged on the platform, reached forward and took her head in my hands, drawing it to mine.
Details
9
5 56 I removed my hands from her head but she left it where I had placed it.
Details
9
5 63 She rose to her feet and backed away, her hands at the shoulders of her robe.
Details
9
6 43 The hands of a Pleasure Slave normally rest on her thighs but, in some cities, for example, Thentis, I believe, they are crossed behind her.
Details
9
6 44 More significantly, for the free woman's hands may also rest on her thighs, there is a difference in the placement of the knees.

8 1 Vika Leaves the Chamber "Wake up, Wench!" I cried, striding into Vika's chamber, clapping my hands sharply twice.

9
8 81 "Don't!" she cried, kneeling there, her hands outstretched.

9
8 203 Insolently she approached me, slowly, gracefully, as silken in her menace as the she-larl, and then to my astonishment when she stood before me, she knelt, her hands on her thighs, her knees in the position of the Pleasure Slave, and dropped her head in scornful submission.
Details
9
9 188 My hands on her arms held her from me.
Details
9
9 198 "Very well, Cabot," she said, "then I shall conquer you!" And she seized my head in her hands and pressed her lips to mine.
Details
9
9 229 I watched Vika and suddenly she seemed too to know and her head lifted and her eyes widened with horror and she crept to her knees, her hands before her face as though to shield herself and she shuddered and suddenly uttered a wild, long, terrible scream of abject fear.
Details
9
10 60 I stood on the platform, my hands clenched on the railing, staggered by what I saw.
Details
9
12 184 Before the other could regain his balance, I had leaped to him and seized him in my hands and lifted him high over my head and hurled him on his back to the stone flooring of the long chamber.

12 245 It took my hand and awkwardly held it, not knowing how to shake hands apparently.

13 40 Scarcely noticing us and clutching two scent-tapes in her hands the girl passed.

14 166 He laid his antennae gently on my shoulders, almost as though a man might have put his hands on them.
Details
9
15 26 With extreme gentleness, almost tenderness, the Priest-King touched the palms of my hands with his antennae.
Details
9
16 166 My old hatred of Vika now began once again to infuse my blood, and my hands ached to grip her and shake her until her bones might break and then throw her to my feet.

20 62 In the cylinder, save for her head which was held in place by a circular opening in the top of the cylinder, was a girl, clad in the traditional robes of concealment, even to the veil, whose gloved hands pressed helplessly against the interior of the cylinder.
Details
9
20 93 She trembled in the cylinder, pressing her small hands against it, and wept.
Details
9
20 132 She tried to twist away as the attendant's hands lifted the collar towards her.
Details
9
20 173 I placed my hands gently on the shoulders of the two Muls.
Details
9
21 28 Suddenly I stopped, my hands on one of the bars.
Details
9
21 48 They were shaven and clad in plastic as are all Muls of the Nest, but their torsos seemed smaller and rounder than those of a human being and their legs and arms seemed extraordinarily long for their body size and the hands and feet seemed unusually wide.
Details
9
21 49 The feet had no toes but were rather disklike, fleshy cushions on which they padded silently along, and similarly on the palms of their wide hands there seemed to be a fleshy disk, which glistened in the blue light of the Mul-Torches.
Details
9
22 3 One or two of them, rusted through, broke away in my hands, and I was nearly plunged to the rocky floor beneath.
Details
9
22 6 Still holding the Mul-Torch in my teeth because I wanted both hands free I began to make my way toward Misk, hand and foot, across these metal extensions.
Details
9
22 103 He placed his antennae lightly on my shoulders and then lifted them and I held up my arms and he touched the palms of my hands with the tips of his antennae, and once again we had, in so far as we could, locked our antennae.
Details
9
22 109 Slowly, fearfully, Mul-Al-Ka and Mul-Ba-Ta lifted their hands and Misk touched them with his antennae.
Details
9
24 61 How was it then, I asked myself, that such a slow, awkward, clumsy creature, no matter how formidable at close range, could capture and slay an organism as alert and swift as a Priest-King? I moved Vika's limbs and rubbed her hands to see if I could restore her circulation to a more normal level.

25 1 The Vivarium My hands seized the narrow, hollow, pincerlike jaws of the Golden Beetle and tried to force them from my body, but those relentless, hollow, chitinous hooks closed ever more tightly.
Details
9
25 16 So I tore a handful of cloth from her garment and on this I wiped my hands and the blade.
Details
9
25 66 I pulled my hands free and crawled in the darkness to one side of the passage and lay down against the wall.
Details
9
25 130 She struggled to her hands and knees, her head hanging down, her hair falling over her head to the floor of the shaft.
Details
9
26 19 She blushed with shame and hung her head, her hands before her face, and sank to her knees weeping softly, her body shaken with sobs.
Details
9
26 42 "Breeding cases?" "Remove your clothing," I commanded, "and place your hands behind your back".
Details
9
26 59 She saw her reflection in the side of her plastic case and screamed, throwing her hands before her face.
Details
9
26 83 At these words Vika suddenly turned to face me, desperately, her back against the plastic side of the case, the palms of her hands against it.
Details
9
26 94 Suddenly she fell on her knees, her eyes filled with tears, and extended her hands to me.
Details
9
26 102 Vika fell to her hands and slumped to the floor moaning, unable to stand.
Details
9
26 219 She turned to face me there, on her hands and knees.
Details
9
26 221 She lifted her hands to me.
Details
9
26 230 She stopped pounding on the plastic partition and stared out at me, her face stained with tears, her hands pressed against the plastic.
Details

18 13 I was going to try again when I saw the slave I had noticed earlier watching me, his hands on certain of the levers in the panel on the curving wall.

18 18 "I have even seen them reach for vines a spear's length above their head and think they could reach them!" Saphrar's two golden teeth, like yellow fangs, showed as he put back his head and howled with pleasure, his fat little hands pounding on the wood of the shield.

9
18 65 Still I dug in the yellow fluid, hands and fingernails bleeding, and then, when it seemed my lungs would burst and darkness was engulfing me and I would lose consciousness, I felt a globular, membranous tissue, wet and slimy, recoil spasmodically from my touch.

18 66 Upside down, locked in the gelling fluid, I took the quiva from my mouth and, with both hands, pressed down with the blade against that twitching, jerking, withdrawing membrane.

20 16 I slipped with one hand and hung there, feet scraping the wall, some fifty feet from the ground, for a nasty moment, but then managed to get both hands on the edge of the wall and hoist myself up.

21 119 Dina had lived for a time on the savings of the family, but had then taken them, sewn in the lining of her robes, and purchased a place on a caravan wagon bound for Ar, which caravan had been ambushed by Kassars, in which raid she herself, of course, had fallen into their hands.

21 146 She held out her hands.

21 321 Harold, on his hands and knees, was looking into the eyes of the girl who knelt, too, numb with terror.

22 111 Behind them stood Tuchuk guards, quivas in their right hands.
Details
9
22 140 At one point three Tuchuk girls, in swirling silks, switches in their hands, came into the room dragging a wretched, stripped Turian girl.
Details
9
22 141 They had found a long piece of rope and tied her hands behind her back and then had wound the same rope three or four times about the girl's waist, had securely knotted it, and were leading her about by it.
Details
9
22 142 "She was our mistress!" cried one of the Tuchuk girls leading the Turian girl, and struck her sharply with the switch, at which information the Tuchuk girls at the tables clapped their hands with delight.
Details
9
23 106 At a distance of little more than a dozen feet thousands of arrows were poured into the trapped Paravaci and yet they pressed forward, on and over their brethren, and then, arrows spent, we met them on the wagons themselves with lances in our hands, thrusting them back and down.
Details
9
23 206 Aphris had, according to the woman, fallen into the hands of the Paravaci who had looted Kamchak's wagon; Elizabeth's fate she did not know; I gathered, of course, from the fact that Elizabeth had been sent to another wagon that Kamchak had sold her.
Details
9
23 208 She might, of course, have also fallen, like Aphris, into the hands of the Paravaci.
Details
9
24 51 I had been training some hundred Tuchuks in the use of the crossbow, dozens of which had now fallen into our hands.
Details
9
24 55 With the crossbow in our hands, the business of bringing tarns in and out of the compound became proportionately more hazardous, which, of course, was what I intended.
Details
9
24 212 We acknowledged the salute, lifting our right hands, palm inward.
Details
9
25 40 "Don't look at me," she cried, bending down, holding her face from the light, then covering it with her hands.
Details
9
25 51 I restraightened the collar and walked away, going to the other side of the wagon, leaning my hands against it, wanting to think.
Details
9
25 83 I gently took her braceleted wrists in my hands and removed them from her face.
Details
9
25 88 I held her lovely head with its soft dark hair in my hands, gazing on her face, her forehead, her dark, soft eyes, with tears, the marvelous, trembling mouth, and set in her fine nose, delicate and lovely, the tiny golden ring.
Details
9
25 128 I added, "And it is one of the great fears of a Tuchuk girl that, should she fall into Turian hands, it will be done to her".
Details
9
25 212 "Drink your wine," I said, pushing the bowl in her hands toward her.
Details
9
25 511 Then, kneeling before me in the position of the Pleasure Slave, she stretched indolently, with feline grace, lifting her hands behind the back of her neck and throwing her dark hair forward.
Details
9
25 512 She knelt so for a languorous moment, her hands over her head holding her hair, looking at me.
Details
9
25 516 Then, her back still arched, with a half-smile, she stretched even more, and, as though weary, she slowly turned her head to one side, with her eyes closed, and then opened them and with a small, lazy motion of her hands threw her hair back over her head, and with a tiny motion of her head shook it ...
Details
9
25 572 "Try this!" she said, approaching me, and this time, my head in her small hands, she lingered with her lips upon my mouth, warm, wet, breaths meeting and mingling in the savoring touch.
Details
9
25 573 My hands held her slender waist.
Details
9
25 649 My hands parted the Pleasure Silk and cast it aside.
Details
9
25 656 I put my two hands in the Turian circlet, and, lifting it up, against her chin, forcing her head back, thrust her back some inches.
Details
9
25 665 I then reached out again and grasped the collar, again with both hands.
Details
9
25 674 I removed my hands from the collar.
Details
9
25 710 I began to kiss her throat and body and my hands were behind her back, lifting her and arching her, so that her head was back and down.
Details
9
25 718 My hands were still clasped behind the small of her back.
Details
9
26 309 The sleen keeper stood nearby, the chain leashes loose in his hands.
Details
9
26 343 The fat hands with the scarlet fingernails seemed suddenly to be drawn and thin, clutching.
Details
9
26 353 Then, tears bursting from his eyes, he held out his hands to Kamchak of the Tuchuks.
Details
9
26 365 Then the merchant's hands, still extended as though to grasp the vines overhead, with their scarlet fingernails, the robes eaten away from the flesh, disappeared beneath the sparkling, glistening surface.
