Sydney shushed the others before they could say anything further to embarrass the girl. Softly he touched her fair hair and ran a finger along her neck. Downwards the finger travelled across her trembling form. As the finger moved a soft dress of green silk covered the woman. Sydney lifted his face to her as he knelt at her feet. "Does that feel better, my lady?" he asked gently.
Mina was lost in the dark-blue gaze of one of the men she had admired all of her short life. Now he knelt at her feet and called her his lady. The crimson blush across her cheeks, throat and down into her chest where only a small part of her bosom showed gave Sydney reason to smile in delight. Standing he offered Mina his arm and she lay a delicate hand upon him. Further giggles of delight came from her as she noted the manicured nails and softness of her hands.
The crowd parted to make way for the woman and her consort as they made their way to the bar where Robert poured fine wine into crystal glasses.
Bartholomew and Christopher stared entranced as the pair moved. Looking down at themselves they gasped in shock as they found themselves dressed in jeans and shirts. Strange boots adorned their feet but were extremely comfortable. Serenity and Jennifer stood beside them and awaited them to escort them after the man and their fellow warrior.
Chapter 6 – Ancient lovers
"It is now the year 997 NW," said Sydney to the three people that sat with him at the table in the middle of the clearing. Around him others nodded in agreement. "Almost 100,000 years after Retsam Elam attacked this planet with his hordes. And," the man paused as he watched the wide open eyes of Mina, Bartholomew and Christopher, "almost a million years since he attacked from space with his snake lords."
"These figures mean nothing to us," Christopher said. "To us it has only been several weeks since we saw Elam's ship blast out of the crater and head for the blackness above. He only had several of his lieutenants with him. Including," the man's voice became a snarl, "Mesmet!"
Serenity placed a calming hand upon the fierce warrior beside her. "At peace, Christopher," she smiled at him. "Mesmet is dead now. Lisabet killed him in Phobos nearly 3,000 years ago."
The big amazonian grinned across the table at them. The bright green eyes devoured Christopher with a lust that was palpable. Christopher grinned back at her matching her look. "I am pleased to hear that my lady. But," his face turned serious again, "we have missed so much. We will not be much use in the war to come if we do not catch up somehow."
Looking around the faces Christopher smiled as many familiar ones looked back at him and his companions. "I see all of you here, and I know that a battle comes. But I also see strange weapons alongside the familiar!" He grinned at Anne-Marie who sat with her husband. "Nerida was always good with a sling shot but what the hell is that huge tube that she held in her hands like a baby?"
Jebidiah sighed. This is going to take some working out, he thought to himself. A gentle poke in his ribs brought him out of his reverie. "I suggest, Enyalius, that the realm masters take them for a few weeks while you finish your tour of the islands. They can watch and learn in safety. Then they will be ready when you enter the viper's nest to the east," said Ea.
"Rat's nest more like," commented Samulayo as he appeared at the end of the table with a laughing Gareth beside him. The two had been missing for a little while as they caught up on their past friendships.
Sydney waved a hand and silence greeted his gesture. The silence drew out as Mina looked hard at the man that stood grinning beside Sam. Jennifer and Serenity watched the pair with knowing smiles as Gareth's features turned from amusement to one of incredulous amazement. "No!" he cried, "This cannot be. I married you not ten years ago. You are at home with our children!"
"No Gareth, I am here," said Mina softly. "You forget my twin, Mona. I was surprised that she was not here when Enyalius told me that most of the warriors are gathered. I dismissed it as being that she may have been with the Kiwis," she looked at Sydney to see if she had pronounced it properly. Sydney nodded, his eyes were twinkling. "Now you tell me that she is at home. Where is home, Gareth?"
"In Australia, we have two daughters and a son. I am sorry Mina but I thought -," his words were cut off.
"You thought you had found your soulmate again, my love," said a soft voice from the darkness behind Sydney. The big man moved aside to reveal the smiling woman who resembled the woman seated at the table almost identically.
"He did my sister," said Mina quietly. "We have ever loved him but never been allowed to be with him together." She stood and ran to the woman who stood in the full light and stopped in front of her.
"Can we love him together now, like we used to dream about?" Mina asked in her soft child-like voice.
"I would very much like that, Mina," said Fiona Peterson. "Provided that you, my twin, love me as well. I have ever held the flame of lust and love for you in my heart and in my loins. I would not want to have to deny my feelings again."
"As I would not deny them, would never have denied them from you my love," said Mina softly. The two women hesitantly at first embraced then with soft tears they began to kiss and talk to each other in little whispers.
"Gareth," Kelsey said quietly to the big bowler as he watched the reunion. "I suggest that you take your wives somewhere a little more private." The big man looked at her in confusion then in comprehension as Kelsey nodded to the pair now kissing hotly.
Gareth's arms surrounded the two women and they turned into his arms, both of their heads buried into his chest as they began to sob quietly. Sydney's gesture saw the trio disappear before the tearful onlookers eyes.
"Fuck it, Sydney!" exclaimed George. "Happy endings always make me cry!" The big islander captain unashamedly wept as Sydney drew him into his arms.
Serenity watched the two big men hugging and found the hand of Bartholomew clasped hotly in her own. She nodded and the pair turned to one another. "We have not found her yet, Bartholomew, but she will be with us soon. In the meantime may I take you to my bed?" Serenity asked sweetly.
Bartholomew shook his head. "Thank you my goddess, but I think I would like to go with Ea and begin to learn about this strange new world I have found myself in," he replied. Turning he looked towards the realm master behind him who nodded and the pair left.
"Christopher will you come with me?" asked Nugua. The man grinned in delight as the universal goddess took his large hand in her own dainty one. "Clinton I think you should come with me too, there is someone who needs to see you." Clinton Southey looked to the woman with puzzlement but nonetheless nodded and reached out his hand. The three disappeared.
"I think Enyalius, that it is time we all found our own beds. The hour is later than you all think but I do not believe it will make much difference," said Kelsey with a smile.
The village, bar and pathways began to blur as the cricket field returned to the present. Players and supporters stood around the wicket square and bid farewell to the realm masters and mistresses. "Soon we will be together again my friends," said Jove shortly before he disappeared.
At the last only Sydney, Jennifer, Alison and Bonnie remained. They sat in a comfortable circle on the grass sipping cool fruit drinks. "Alison, tell me about Marlena, please," asked Sydney softly. The big man's voice carried a tinge of sadness as he made his request. Alison felt her eyes tear up as her sister placed an arm around her.
Jennifer snuggled against Sydney as Alison sat quietly. Drawing strength from her sister's closeness she began.
Alison walked slowly to school, her mind was a thousand kilometres away searching for her greatest love, Bonnie. Absent-mindedly she brushed her hair back from her eyes as she walked and the soft touch of her hand brought a tremble to her body. It was one of excitement as the woman she sought whispered into her mind about the wicked things she was going to do to her sister's body when she next saw her.
Grinning she had reached the school gate and was about to fling it open to enter the grounds when a soft voice called her. "Ali, I need you."
Turning around a dark haired woman adorned with dark sunglasses coolly watched her as she leant against a sporty red hover. Alison's heart thumped with joy as she observed the short skirt and long legs of her aunt. "Aunty Marlena!" she cried as she ran to the woman's open arms.
"My bubby one," Marlena whispered as she clasped the tall woman to her breasts. Inexplicably the woman began sobbing against Alison's shoulder.
"What's wrong?" asked Alison leaning away from the hug and looking at her aunt. Marlena removed her glasses to wipe her eyes and Alison saw that the tears were not recent. It looked as if her aunt had been bawling her eyes out for days.
"I found him, Ali," the woman sobbed.
"Does he know?"
"I don't think so, but Moll-, I mean Jenny does."
"Nothing is hidden from that little girl," giggled Alison.
Jennifer laughed as she listened to Alison's story.
"So what did you do when you found him?" Alison asked.
"I fucked him for two days!" the woman cried. "Stealing time like we always do! One night became two and if it was not for the fact that he had other things to do we would no doubt have taken more."
"Marlena you had not been with him for more than 100,000 years! There would be no-one that would begrudge you a few days of pleasure!"
"Jenny told me that he had been lost when I left him last time. But I could not stay with him, I had to run. Bubby I have to keep running, I cannot destroy him again!"
"No Marlena, mother tells me he will need everyone he can get! The war is coming again, you cannot leave him flounder without his greatest supporter and especially his sister!"
Alison fervently wished for her mother now, but she could not contact Freya here in the open. The contact was too personal for such a public display. The golden haired girl flushed as she realised that her sex was soaking her thighs even more than they had been after the fleeting contact with Bonnie. The long legs of her aunt had always done that to her. The recent loss of her virginity to her ancient creator and the fiercely satisfying coupling with her virgin sister had awakened the lusty beast of her own nature. Marlena was more than just a fantasy now.
Urging her aunt to wait for her the young woman dashed into the school grounds and went to the administration office. She requested and received permission to be absent for a few hours from school to attend to a family crisis. She made a quick stop at the bathrooms before she rang her natural parents to tell them that Marlena needed her help. Her mother grinned at her happy daughter and told her to take care.
Marlena took Alison to the same motel that she and Bonnie had stayed in. It was with a little giggle of nervousness that the two surveyed the large bed in the room and the lounge chairs around the open area beside the little kitchenette. "Sorry for the tight space," Marlena said, "but I don't intend to be here very long."
Alison dropped her body onto the bed and stared up at the ceiling. "Bonnie fucked me senseless in the bed two doors down from this room, Marlena," she said softly.
The tall dark haired woman's eyes opened wide at the pronouncement. "You and your sister!" she exclaimed.
"Bonnie understands my needs better than anyone. I suspect even better than myself. Enyalius took my virginity, but Bonnie took my heart," said Alison with pride.
"I understand Bubby one, but for me it is different. Enyalius took not only my virginity but he traps my heart in his dark-blue eyes. I may dabble with others, but he makes me burn so badly. Even talking about him makes my stomach tremble and my pussy gush to soak my panties!"
"Bonnie and I don't wear them. She, because he does the same to her and me, because I know how fucking hot she is all the time!" Alison's legs opened wide on the bed as she flipped her school skirt up. The golden down that lightly covered her sex was glistening with moisture.
Marlena regarded the girl's sex curiously. Her artistic nature subtly capturing in her mind the dainty flower as it opened further under her gaze. Finding herself drawn to the intoxicating aroma her tongue flickered out and lightly tasted the dew collecting on the soft folds of Alison's sex. The girl on the bed barely breathed as the warm pink tongue continued to explore her. Dark-blue eyes gazed upwards from between her spread legs. Alison's heart hammered in her chest as she felt her clitoris expand and press upwards from its fleshy hood. "Kiss me Marlena," she begged softly.
Warm lips encircling her swollen nub and the quick lashings of the wet tongue caused Alison's hips to thrash as the gentle contact caused her to orgasm quickly. Reaching for the dark tresses she held her lover firmly but gently between her legs as her hips gyrated seeking more. Marlena chuckled as she allowed the girl to guide her continuously to her soaked sex and taste the delicious cream that drooled from her.
"Oh my goodness!" cried Alison again and again. Her throaty demands for her Aunt to strip and allow her to return the favour were gleefully complied with. Marlena's long legs and firm thighs wrapped around Alison's head and shoulders as the woman enthusiastically pleasured her aunt. For over an hour the two suckled and tasted each other. Each delighting in the smell and taste of the copiously flowing juices that seem to literally beg to be released against the other's tongue and lips.
Eventually they lay in each other's arms panting as they softly kissed and talked about their lovers. "She will know you tonight," said Alison as she kissed her aunt's neck.
"How so Bubby?" her aunt asked.
"From the blood we shared," said Alison.
"It will only last until either hers or your moon," Marlena warned her. "To renew the contact you have to share again. It was mother's decree. Enyalius and I have the same ability to bond. But I did not bite him this time, I preferred just to suck." Marlena giggled as Alison's eyes crossed at the thought of what Marlena spent a lot of time sucking.
"Your mother?" asked Alison when she realised what her aunt had told her.
"Ah sorry Bubby, but you cannot know about her yet. I only know her because I threatened to destroy myself forever!"
Sydney stiffened as Alison related the conversation. Jennifer raised herself from his lap where she had lain her head as she listened to the tale from the beautiful blonde opposite her.
"Did she tell you who her mother was, Alison?" she asked.
The golden head shook in negative. "I tried to find out but Marlena only smiled and said that we would all know one day. She did not seem to want to talk about it after then. We made love a little more and then we began to talk about what and where she should go and do."
Marlena poured the tea for them as Alison finished dressing and came to sit at the small table. "I do not want to leave him alone, Alison. But I cannot stay as I am. I will be drawn back to him like a helpless nail drawn to a magnet. Even now the blood continues to surge around me because he is within my sphere of senses!" she spoke softly but with a zeal that was reflected in her eyes as she faced the southern wall of the room.
"He is down there," she pointed with her chin, "chasing the evil ones out of their lair."
Sydney grunted as he listened. Jennifer nodded before she spoke. "She knew you were chasing General Whitbourne's cronies in central Australia. Sydney there is nowhere on this planet you could go without her knowing where you were!
"When she spoke to me in Brisbane, she said that she sensed it was you but she was not certain how much you knew about yourself. She ran before you came to full power. Tell me that you cannot sense her now?"
Shaking his head Sydney remained silent. Bonnie looked at her sister wife and cousin. "You cannot sense her or you do not want to admit that you can feel her as the happy entity that controls and lives as Cellarium?" she asked harshly.
"She does not live Bonnie!" the man exclaimed. "She is a bodiless and perhaps heartless machine. Running computers and other machines to make a city live and breathe. It is not the same as being able to be touched and loved." Sydney's eyes flowed with tears as he spoke. Jennifer held his hand tightly.
"If you believe that father then you are a fool!" spat Alison. "Did she not tell you that you can come to her anytime! Did she not give me her body, her voice, her heart and soul that I could lift you from your despair when you first found out that she had taken on her ancient role of the protectorate?"
Dark-blue eyes flashed at her as she spoke. Alison raised her head defiantly. "Marlena told me that I could be her whenever you needed her. There is only one condition."
"What is that?" Sydney asked. His voice was one of hope and suspicion.
"Bonnie must drink of me before. Must be the one who maintains control of you and her so that you do not plunder time for your pleasure," the woman replied firmly.
"Agreed," said Sydney. "Now tell me why she went to Cellarium."
"No Enyalius, I will tell you myself," a voice spoke outside the circle of light around them. A softly glowing figure floated towards the group. A woman, dark of hair, long of leg with a full breast and shining dark-blue eyes. Her full lips opened in a smile as the spectral figure took a seat beside Alison. The ghostlike hand lifted and touched the face of the golden haired girl.
"It is my story, Bubby, I shall finish telling it," Marlena said.
Turning towards Jennifer the woman's smile broadened to a grin. "Mollenny I love you," she stated simply.
"And I you, Marlena. But tell me how you come to be here now like this," Jennifer replied.
Marlena's eyes lifted upwards to the Majestic still floating above them. "Max is quite a useful friend," the apparition giggled.
Jennifer felt the hardness in Sydney's groin as he held her in his lap. His hands roamed her thighs and for a few seconds Jennifer found herself jealous that her husband could react so strongly to the mere holographic presence of the woman. Then she grinned wickedly and allowed her hands to reach behind her and release the sizeable cock she found there. Shifting a little more she directed his hot weapon into her own saturated sex and pressed down firmly causing an involuntary groan from both of their mouths.
"Bitch!" whispered Bonnie loudly as she saw Jennifer's movements.
"You're only jealous your own toys are stuck up there," Alison giggled as she pointed upwards, "and not up here!" She guided Bonnie's fingers to her own wetly open sex and sighed as Bonnie pressed two of her agile digits into the opening. Marlena sniggered as she saw the couples playing.
"Perhaps we should adjourn to more comfortable surrounds for my story," suggested Marlena. "One where I can watch and comment as you lot fuck each other. I promise that you will not miss any details of my tale."
The four corporeal bodies found themselves naked on Sydney's huge modified bed. Marlena drifted above them, the modest dress that she had first appeared in gone as the spectral entity rubbed hands over her body and began to speak.
Marlena paced the room as Alison drank her tea watching the long legs under the T-shirt she wore. The woman's skirt and underwear still lay on the floor where Alison had thrown them in her haste to strip her aunt for her viewing pleasure. "Marlena, can you please sit, your legs are driving me to distraction and I told the headmistress that I would come back to school today!" the girl called softly.
