  Shortly after Destiny made the jump through the Stargate, Steven decided to unpack the items he had brought with him from Avenger. When Ashlyn entered the room and saw the picture of Renee standing at the railing of the Eiffel tower—with a tight hug, she showed him how much she cherished his having saved something so important to her.

  Three hours later, the kids fast asleep in their quarters, the Destiny altered her course so that The Keeper could show Steven and Ashlyn the Meridian nebula. He’d said it was one of the great sights to be seen, a microcosm of the universe, a place where stars were born. Before them lay billions of years of history. Its depth of inspiration and beauty was beyond compare.

  “I wish Novacek and the others could see this,” said Ashlyn. “It’s so beautiful.”

  Steven’s thoughts drifted back to the planet, to what he had left behind. He ran the numbers. “We left four hours ago, but for them—because of the time dilation, it’s been four days.”

  She leaned against the bulkhead and cuddled deep in Steven’s arms. “I have everything I ever wanted aboard this ship. My world, our world, is here and now”–Ashlyn caressed her tummy and Steven’s son to be—“and tomorrow.”

  Having Ashlyn so close to him, Steven’s passions blazed. His hands wandered across her tummy up to her breasts, his spread fingers grittily clenching them, digging deep creases.

  “Anxious are we?” She felt his heavily engorged, throbbing shaft pressing against her buttocks.

  “You have no idea how badly I want you right now!” answered Steven. “No idea at all.”

  Steven grabbed the collar of Ashlyn’s blouse. Pulling hard, he ripped it open. The popping buttons flew in all directions. His fingers traced her outline, running around the curves of her quivering breasts. He slid lower, his fingers feeling the tremble of her stomach muscles tightening in response to his touch. He grasped the snap of her jeans.

  “Easy there. We’ve got all the time in the world.” Staying his hands, Ashlyn turned around, and slipping out of the torn blouse, she tossed it into a corner.

  Turning her, so that her back was against the wall, Steven pressed himself hard into her. Embracing, they kissed ferociously, Steven’s heated breath upon her neck, inflamed her. Ashlyn ripped his clothes from him.

  Steven unsnapped the button on her jeans, sliding the zipper downward. His hand slipped inside between her legs. His fingers went deep into the crevice in her panties, touching her through the silk. He could feel her, her moisture beginning to soak through the thin material.

  As the star filled heavens behind them bowed in obeisance, Ashlyn forcefully spun Steven around, putting his back to the wall. “And you have no idea how badly I want you right now!” She looked at his erection. “No idea at all.”

  To Steven’s panting breaths, she slowly kissed her way down his chest.

  “Ouch. You bit me,” said Steven looking down at her.

  “Just reminding you who’s really in charge—Lord Steven,” said Ashlyn.

  They now had all that they had been wanting for so long.

  They had a tall ship beneath their feet. The wind was at their back, and they were having their deepest fantasies fulfilled.

  Chapter 25

  FOUR DAYS EARLIER

  Steven, as he had done every minute for the last four days, spent his time focusing, straining, moving stealthily along the walls, trying to find a weakness in the generated field of his cell. A weakness that would allow him to reach out and touch Ashlyn’s mind.

  Enlil’s death had been a ruse. The sword, a lure. When Steven had removed it from the pedestal, he had triggered the trap that Enlil had set for him. As the door to the armory silently slid closed, locking him in—a generated field dampened his abilities.

  Enlil had been hiding in the shadows, patiently watching, waiting. With the trap sprung, from out of the shadows, an old white-haired woman stepped forward. “Did you really think me so easily beaten, Tin Man? I am surprised that you were so easily fooled.

  “You were so kind, even having one of the Guardians carry me home. No one thought to suspect the fragile, little woman who walked in from the desert,” Enlil said. “If they had only known.”

  The woman then changed into Enlil, again taking his natural, tall, white-haired form. “You were boringly predictable. It was all so very disappointing. I thought you to be so much more than you were.

  “And now, look.” Enlil transformed into Steven, and in Steven’s voice said, “You have lost—everything!” Putting his arms out wide, he gloated.

  “I now have a powerful Anunnaki ship to take me to Heaven, where my father will bow before me, begging me to spare his world, his people! He will beg my forgiveness—as will he curse me when I burn Heaven beneath his feet!” Enlil’s eyes were like fire. He laughed, staring upwards, far beyond the cavern’s ceiling. His vengeful mind pictured his attack upon the home world.

  “You’re insane!” said Steven.

  Hearing Steven’s outburst, Enlil’s eyes lowered to meet Steven’s. “Perhaps—but I can see it in your eyes, Tin Man, even you believe this guise will fool your whore.

  “I have had thousands of years to plan. And I must say, you played perfectly into my hands. I lost a fleet, but you have brought me a ship more powerful than all of them together.

  “Yes, I have been toying with you. Since your arrival here, I let your people think I was weak, seemingly sacrificing my forces for no reason. Do you not see, by pretending to lose everything—you felt secure, letting your guard down. And now, you have given me back far more than I lost. All that was yours is now mine.

  “Not only do I have your ship, but I have your whore. She will soon be spreading her legs for me, her screams begging me for more as I impale her.

  “But first, she will come to me wanting to suckle. You see, Tin Man, by genetic design, the seed of the Anunnaki male releases chemicals that bring contentment to them. It deepens a female’s passion, heightening their sense of pleasure and happiness. The more they get, the more passionate and happier they become. They are like a baby wanting to suckle from its mother’s teat. They need it often—and they want it constantly.

  “She will be a slave to me, seeking to satisfy a craving thirst that cannot be satisfied. This is the Anunnaki way.”

  Enlil drifted away, reminiscently. “It has been thousands of years since I have tasted the soft, engorged breasts of an Anunnaki female. My craving is beyond desperate—I long for the contentment they give.

  “As for you, if you are thinking that you will soon be found by your friends above—don’t. I made it easy for you to find this chamber, purposely leaving the tunnel beneath the throne open for you to find. Even the scanner was false, letting you believe you were clever in having found it—but I can guarantee you, the tunnel will never be found again. I will be locking the throne into position, forever sealing it off. Once locked, it is impossible to move.

  “A fitting tomb—don’t you agree? Enjoy your new home, Tin Man.” Enlil took a step backward, starting to depart. “You must excuse me, but I am in painful need of having the mouth of your whore upon me,” said Enlil, grabbing his own desirously swollen shaft. “Yes, great need.”

  And with those punishing last words, Enlil, in the image of Steven, smiled sadistically and turned away.

  Steven’s screams chased after Enlil, until long after he was gone from sight.

  Steven tore at the bars, searching for the power
s that had been given him, but within the field, he was powerless.

  Steven heard the throne, its large, stone mass grinding as it moved. It was followed a moment later by a massive thud as it dropped into place, forever sealing him in.

  As the days slipped away, he tried using the tools within the armory, all to no avail.

  He was without water, without food.

  Steven could only hope that the Gift of Life was at work slowing his death, but he was also aware, that even with the Gift, with no sustenance, death was an inevitability.

  Yet, it was for Ashlyn and his children that he would continue to hold on. For they knew not of the horror that was standing at their side.

  With each breath, as his mind sought to escape his cell, he implored, Ashlyn—I beg of you. Hear me!
