Raul’s escape from Alonso’s tyranny in Madrid takes him to the port city of Cadiz where, in the maze of narrow sixteenth century alleyways he searches for Stefano, an attractive manservant with whom Raul had a brief sexual encounter before the youth was banished from the hacienda for a purported affront to Alonso. Raul hopes to rekindle the curtailed affair with Stefano.
In a seedy tavern near the warehouse district, Raul encounters the roguish Raphael, a prostitute and purveyor of younger men to wealthy older men. After a steamy session in Raul’s chambers, Raphael confesses he knows Stefano’s whereabouts and leads Raul to the town home of the banker for whom Stefano serves as general factotum and paramour.
Excerpt:
On the Feast of San Isidro, patron saint of Madrid, I accompanied father to the cathedral for Mass. At that point father was quite frail and required assistance standing and going to the altar rail for communion. So, dressed in servant’s livery, I was allowed in the family pew to provide the necessary assistance. My garb, while humiliating, forestalled any questions about my presence in the pew, which irritated Alonso as much as it embarrassed me.
After the service father insisted I accompany him to meet with the abbot of a nearby monastery who also attended the festival Mass. “Thank you, Don Antonio, for responding to my request. This is Jorge of whom I wrote to you.” The priest indicated a youth with an angelic countenance standing beside the pulpit. “Jorge was an orphan of around ten years of age when an unknown person left him at the monastery’s gate. The monks raised him for many years until it became obvious he had no vocation to the clerical life. I thank you Don for generously agreeing to take him under your patronage.”
“It is my pleasure to accommodate you, Reverend Abbot. I will make Jorge my personal assistant and my son Alonso’s valet. Raul, after you train Jorge you will become the overseer of the stables and carriage house.” My hurt feelings were definitely assuaged by the promotion, as father knew they would be.
Rebuffed by Stefano, Raul bemoans his fate until Jorge appears at the warehouse where Raul is employed. Alonso’s wife who learned of her husband’s dalliances with the attractive lad has banned Jorge from Madrid. How this unwelcome development plays out leads to the conclusion of the second of five stories in the Spanish Seductions series.
