Just a little taste...
Her laughter had bitterness to it as she scooted to the edge of her bed space. “Really? What makes you think you are worthy to be with me, Solarion? I am a goddess. You are but a mere man,” she added with a scoff.
He smiled. “That may be true, but I am a descendent of Olcolm, god of the sun. We are well matched and that is why I was chosen for you. There is no other like me.”
He pulled her to her feet and placed her hands on his chest before she could protest. She gasped at the feel of him. He guided her hands slowly across each defined pectoral. Her hands moved hesitantly through the soft hair that covered the defined muscles beneath her finger tips.
He took her hand in his. His hands were large and strong and covered hers completely. He took her hand away from his chest and placed it gently on his face. The hair there was just as soft and covered most of his face as it traced the fullness of his lips. Hanging on both sides of his face were long dark braids. Without thinking she fingered the few braids that hung down by his ear as it rested on his broad shoulders. Almost reluctantly she looked into his face. She barely had to raise her head to meet his golden brown eyes that seemed to be smiling at her. Touching him and looking into his beautiful golden eyes seemed to ease her anger a bit.
“All that you see is for you, my goddess. I offer you all that I have and all that I am. My mind, my body and anything else you want or need from me already belongs to you.” When she didn’t reply he boldly lifted her gown over her head. His eyes fell longingly over her nakedness and he smiled. “The goddess of the sun is equally beautiful in face and in body. Let me worship such a beautiful body so that you will rest easy in my arms. You will rule your people by day and I will rule you at night worshiping your body with my own. Each night you will sleep in y arms exhausted from the love I will show your body.” Slowly he lifted her chin to kiss her, but she slapped his hand away.
“How dare you presume to think you can rule over me?” she yelled as her anger returned in full force and then she pushed him backwards with all her might. “For that insolence you will be punished!”
In her fury she wanted to repeat her earlier behavior to punish the handsome intruder, but found that she was unable to grow to her monstrous size within the cave. Breathing hard with her eyes darting around she quickly changed her head into that of a lioness again and the soft dainty hands that were just caressing Solarion’s face and chest were now sharp lion claws. Solarion watched her change with no expression change on his handsome face. He turned his back to her when it was complete causing her anger to increase even more.
“You dare turn your back to me?” she growled. Before he had any chance to answer her angry question she launched herself at him.
He heard her growl, anticipated her pounce and side stepped gracefully out of the way. He watched her land on the floor before him. He could see the anger flashing in the darkness of her eyes when she turned on him. She crouched low to the ground preparing to launch at him again and growled her fury some more.
“Sekmet, cease your attack on me. I do not wish to restrain you,” he said in the same calming voice.
“Restrain me?” she yelled in disbelief.
His calming words infuriated her even more. They were like a fire to the short fuse that was her temper. Her ebony eyes flashed once more before she lunged at him again only to miss him as he side stepped her again. She rolled across the floor and landed against her bed space breathing hard.
“How, how dare you?”
She sputtered and screamed, but before she could get her bearings she leaped into another unsuccessful attack. Her fury was beyond compare as she screamed it out loud and launched herself again. This time she landed on top of the bedding and growled out of frustration. Solarion turned and smoothly moved toward her and as he did so his own change began. Sekmet lay on the bed breathing hard, banging her fists at her sides and roaring her fury. She jumped to her feet readying herself for her next attack and then sat back down with a gasp. Solarion stood before her with the head of the king of beasts with his golden eyes flashing. The braids she had been fingering just a few moments ago was now a full grown mane and his hands massive lion paws.
