The Sun Gods Woman Part 8

to bother anybody.

Cool, thought Annie.

Kyle Pendrake watched her as she moved around his rooms, warily examining his desk, and the fewmeager furnis.h.i.+ngs."Not much of a one for knick-knacks, are you, Dr. Pendrake?" she muttered."I see no need for them, Annilin.""My name is Annie, Annie Lynden. I'm a-""Journalist. Yes. I remember seeing you at the symposium."Annie plunked down on his bed and gaped at him."My G.o.d. It really did happen, didn't it? You, here, me-Ancient Sumer. Time travel is actually possible.

Kyle winced. "I don't know about possible, Miss Lynden. It did happen, and don't think I haven't spenta good portion of the last five years trying to figure out why!""Call me Annie." She waved her hand dismissively. "The first question, of course, is can we get back?"He crossed to the window and looked away from her, out onto the main plaza of Kushuk.There were small braziers set up with trays of delicious smelling foods baking in the open, while musicians played, dancers danced, and the population of the town enjoyed the Dedication Festival.

Annie rose and came to stand beside him.

"See that?" he said, pointing at the plaza. "That's Ancient Sumer. All this happened nearly four thousandyears before we were born. And yet here we are, looking at it. Live and in color.""We can't go back, can we?" Annie too stared at the crowds below."I don't know, Annie. That's as honest an answer as I can provide right now.""Thank you."Surprised, Kyle turned and leaned against the opening. "For what?"Annie leaned against the other side of the window. The breeze played with her hair making idle tendrils of the pale silk stir against her skin. Even though their conversation had brought Kyle back to the insurmountable problem he worked on for hours each day, he couldn't help but respond to the picture she made.

She met his eyes, violet touching green. His c.o.c.k, which had settled itself somewhat, stirred back to life.

"Thank you for being honest with me, at least. Some men would have promised a return trip home,pockets filled with gold, anything I wanted to hear.""I'm not 'some men' Annie. Besides, I have to admit I've grown very fond of Kushuk. The people are warm and friendly, they work hard and play hard, and they've made me, and now you, practically G.o.ds.

It's not too bad, you know..."He grinned apologetically. "If we had to get stuck anywhere in time, I'm kind of glad it's here. And I'mespecially glad that now I have a time-traveling partner to share it with."

Annie raised an eyebrow. "Oh yeah, and let's not forget I'm supposed to be your s.e.xual plaything for a

month. Some bargain I got."

Kyle looked a bit self-conscious. "Annie, it's a different time and a different culture. These are their ways, and although they may seem strange to us, we are visitors here."

"I get it. When in Rome..." She turned her head and looked out again. "I am trying to do that, Kyle, I really am. Everyone has been so very nice here, helpful, not anything like what I would have expected, you know?"

Kyle nodded. "I know. You'd have thought they would have been scared or afraid or suspicious of some stranger arriving in a flash of light."

Annie smiled.

Kyle's gut tightened. "So, would you like that bath now?"Her eyes lit up and sparked a laugh from Kyle. "We'll have to do it together, but s.p.a.ce won't be aproblem. Come see..."

He led her into an awe-inspiring bathroom.

"Now I know what's meant by a bathing chamber," she breathed, gazing around her with delight.

The room was twice the size of her bath, and the tub itself could have probably served as a training pool

for the Olympic water volleyball team.

"Can you do laps?" she asked, dipping her fingers over the edge and into the warm water. "And how doyou keep something this size warm?""So many questions, little Moon G.o.ddess," he chuckled, dropping his clothing to the floor without blinking an eye.

Annie, who was not quite so blase, blinked. Several times.

Kyle knew exactly what he was doing. He wanted that glazed look of desire in her eyes again. He

wanted to see those b.r.e.a.s.t.s tighten up and her charming nipples pointing firmly in his direction. He wanted to lay her down and pound himself into unconsciousness inside her.

Well, perhaps not yet. But soon.

"Come on, Annie. Don't be shy. It's really too late, I've seen it all anyway." Kyle held out his hand as he stepped into the tub, c.o.c.k and b.a.l.l.s swinging proudly between his strong thighs.

"Hmph," she muttered, turning her back on him as she dropped her skirt. But even this little attempt at modesty did no more than make him laugh.

With a splash he sank down to his shoulders and heaved a huge sigh of contentment.

"Now this is what I call bliss." He closed his eyes and leaned his head back against the tiled wall.He could hear Annie taking advantage of his state and slipping into the water. When he opened his eyesagain she was neck deep and sighing with pleasure as the warm water swirled around her body.

She was also about as far away from him as she could get.That would have to change.

Annie's tense muscles relaxed as the warm water soothed her body and her mind. She too rested her head back against the side of the bath and closed her eyes. The knowledge that she was sharing an intimate and naked experience with the amazingly yummy flavor-of-the-month Kyle Pendrake was temporarily suppressed as she simply enjoyed the moment.

"I suppose we could talk now," came Kyle's voice."Mmm," mumbled Annie, too content to worry about much of anything."That's if you'd care to, of course."Annie opened her eyes and gazed across the expanse of water. "What would you want to talk about, Kyle?"

"Well, I guess we should get to know a little about each other, and I should fill you in on what I'velearned of Sumer since I've been here.""Reasonable. Okay. I'm twenty-eight, not a virgin and have four best selling novels to my name. I time-traveled back four thousand years and am now sitting in a historical pseudo hot-tub with the number one techno-wiz of the twenty first century. " She paused for breath. "Said techno wiz, while being the darling of the society columns and l.u.s.ted after by myriads of women who should have known better, also designed a little something called Merlin, which was responsible for sending him, and consequently me, back to Ancient Sumer, where we are now sitting on our respective G.o.ds' right hands. Did I miss anything?" Her scornful eyebrow rose as she gazed at him for two more seconds, then rested her head back and closed her eyes again.

"Myriads of women?"Annie snorted."Why weren't you sick?""Excuse me?""When you arrived here, you weren't sick. I threw up for three days.""Thanks for sharing.""No, seriously, Annie. I don't understand why you weren't ill...it could be important."Annie raised her shoulders slightly and tilted her head."I haven't a clue. I did everything that I was told, I had the technical pa.s.swords and I'd taken the pills.""Pills? What pills?""Oh that's right, you couldn't have known, could you? After you 'poofed' off into the ether, Pendrake Labs went into a major lockdown mode. It was a couple of years before they got Merlin back up and running, and the best they could figure out was that it was the emotions that sent him nuts."

Kyle nodded his head, staring at her but she'd have bet her bottom dollar that he wasn't seeing her at all."So when the viewing program was initiated, everyone had to take a couple of lightweight tranquilizers, tokind of take the edge off, you know?"

"That makes sense. But doesn't explain how you got here. If you took the pills...?""Which I most certainly did. And I've been wondering about that ever since. My best guess would be that there was someone else in the room who had not taken any pills, perhaps a technician or something.I did hear some kind of sound-""What kind of sound?""Well, it was a kind of..." Annie looked a bit self-conscious.Kyle slid a little closer."Kind of what, Annie? This could be very important scientifically, you know." He moved next to her, radiating intense scientific interest. And a side helping of really nice chest."Well, it was a moan I guess.""A moan? Like someone in pain?"

"Well, not so much in pain, no. More like, more like...""More like what, Annie?"His hard thigh was now brus.h.i.+ng hers as they sat in the water and he leaned over to put his hand on her knee. He drew it up towards her thigh.She moaned."Ahh. That sort of sound. Got it."Her eyes popped wide open and she backed away so quickly she slipped and went under.Kyle went after her.Sputtering, she surfaced, held tightly against his warm flesh."You okay?" he asked."Stupid question," she breathed as he smoothed her wet hair away from her face."Annie, this month is going to ask a lot of you. You have to be seen to be my partner, my helper, and my mate. We have to show Kushuk that there is complete harmony between the Moon G.o.ddess and the

Sun G.o.d."

"Complete harmony. Right. Got it." Her b.r.e.a.s.t.s rubbed against the soft whorls of hair that lightly covered his chest. Her legs weakened and she felt his hand push her firmly against his c.o.c.k. His rather hard c.o.c.k.

"Do you think we can do that, Annie?" he asked, now making soft circles on the sensitive skin at the

base of her spine.

"Do what, Kyle?" she asked, focusing on his hand and wis.h.i.+ng she was telekinetic so that she could move it down a couple of inches.

Well, dang, look at that. Her powers must have suddenly increased, because now Kyle's hand was below the water, softly stroking and kneading her b.u.t.tocks. She very much wanted to purr.

Instead she licked his nipple.

His grip tightened immediately and he plastered her up against his body. She gasped in surprise and pleasure.

Looking up, she saw his eyes widen and his pupils dilate just before he lowered his mouth to hers.

It was a kiss that began slowly, tentatively, as they learned each other's lips. Kyle pressed and withdrew then pressed again, and licked along her seam to encourage her to open her mouth.

His arms clenched her tight, squas.h.i.+ng her b.r.e.a.s.t.s and relieving the ache within. She opened to his tongue

and tasted him for the first time.

Sweet and spicy, he wasted no time in claiming her mouth as his own. His lips spread wide and his tongue devoured-she felt as if he was ravenous and she was a chicken dinner.

The heat generated by their bodies made the water seem cool, and being so pa.s.sionately kissed while

stark naked in a huge sunken bathtub was the most erotic thing Annie could ever remember happening to

her.

Kyle's head moved as he aligned himself more perfectly with Annie's soft lips. His c.o.c.k was nowpractically flattened between them, and Annie was sure she'd have an imprint on her belly for weeks.It was as if he could pull her inside himself, or at least was trying to.His tongue continued its investigation of her mouth, setting fire to the rest of her body. His hands slid past her b.u.t.tocks and found her cleft.

She s.h.i.+vered as he touched her aching flesh, and ground her hips against him. She ran her hands over

every bit of him she could touch, settling on his beautifully tight a.s.s. His cheeks fit her hands just perfectly.Now this was how a man's backside should be built.Kyle adjusted their stance so that his c.o.c.k was now free to slide between Annie's thighs.It was warm and hard and oh so wonderful as she let her hips guide it over her mound and down to the hot tissues ready and waiting for it.

He pulled his mouth away from hers. "G.o.d, Annie..." he muttered, eyelids heavy and lips swollen. His

face was darkly flushed and Annie felt an answering tremor of awareness flood her skin. Her nipples were stark points and she knew she was bathing his c.o.c.k with her hot honeyed juices.

She raised one leg to wrap around his thigh, opening her c.u.n.t and inviting him in.

A cough sounded from the doorway.

Both Annie and Kyle jumped, both slipped in the water, and both took a surprise dunking.

"Good thing too," muttered an embarra.s.sed Ronnil. "Perhaps it'll cool them off."
