of the boring details of my life,” she said, hand to her mouth and eyes opened wide. Merys felt herself blushing in embarrassment. “I’m sorry, but you listened so patiently. I became accustomed to pouring all my hopes and dreams out, to laying my problems on your broad shoulders.” I must have bored him to death but he was too kind to say so.
    Bek held her close, his face serious. “No, don’t apologize. With you, I’m interested in every small moment of your life. Your singing attracted me, but who you are has kept me coming back. Made me fall in love with you. I can’t take you to my home in the land of the gods. I can’t resign my duties to live with you in the guise of a man during your lifetime. I can only steal these few hours with you, time and again.” His fists clenched against her spine. Merys felt his entire body tense, as if preparing for combat while his manhood advanced deeper inside her.
    Hugging him tightly, she wrapped her legs around him. “Then that is what we have for ourselves, Bek. And I count myself fortunate. It’s more than I ever had before, more than I dreamed of. Just knowing you love me makes me happier than you can imagine. I’ve loved you for a long time. Maybe even since the first day we met.”
    He groaned and rolled her over, plunging deeper inside her channel. “I feel the same.” He kissed her neck, sucking and biting gently, his tongue stroking across her skin. The cold night air when he pulled away made her shiver. “Staying away from you was the hardest thing I have ever done.”
    “Why did you, Bek? I missed you so much.” She ran her hand through his hair, enjoying the heavy silk feel of it, then massaged his shoulders and neck in a slow rhythm.
    He relaxed against her body as she continued, working the stress out of his muscles. “I hoped you would forget me, maybe find a way to marry a mortal man and have your dreams.”
    “Did you truly?” Merys stopped her caressing massage and leaned away from him, brows furrowed. “Did you want another man to have me? Am I so easy to forget?”
    “By Osiris, no.” He tangled one hand in her hair to pull her closer, crushed her lips with a passionate kiss. His cock throbbed inside her as he pushed deeper.
    She was sore from their earlier loving but she adjusted her position, trying to give him pleasure. He wants to claim me, show me I’m his completely. I would endure any fleeting pain for the joy of belonging to Bek, knowing he loves me.
    Bek rocked his hips, creating small tingles of pleasure deep within Merys’s body. He nuzzled her neck.
    “Isis warned me as well,” he whispered in her ear.
    Merys gulped, her heart pounding in her chest. “The queen of the Great Ones warned you away from me?”
    “She doesn’t know about you. I didn’t tell her.” He nodded. “I am no coward, believe that, but she terrifies even me.”
    Merys rubbed his back, making big lazy circles with her hand, savoring the feel of the hard muscles and sinew. “What did she say? What happened?”
    “She sought me out while I was working on the river, said I had been shirking my duties, forgotten my responsibilities and must be punished.” A shiver ran through his body. “She called the chill of the outer dark. Crocodiles are lazy creatures of the sun, you know.” He tried to smile but couldn’t seem to make himself meet her eyes.
    Merys could hardly breathe, full of fear for him. “Then what?”
    “I was close to death, I know it, but Isis relented. She banished the cold, allowed me to summon the hot air of the desert and make myself warm again.” Bek turned his head to look directly into Merys’s eyes. “We must be very, very careful, my love.”
    “Should you take such risks?” Merys raised her eyebrows and frowned.
    “You are worth it to me.” The god captured her lips, his tongue seeking her warm mouth as his hips began to move more forcefully to drive his engorged cock in and out of her soft channel.
    Bek seemed to
