Game What are you doing right now?

“Well, I’m glad you sorted that out,” I manage to laugh. “I did enjoy it and regardless that at the beginning, I did resist a little, not because I didn’t like what was happening, just because of it was so unnatural.”

“You have to admit, I bet you’ve had worse lovers.” Pharone grinned at me, a knowing, woman-to-woman smile.

‘How the hell is a normal bloke going to compete with that?” He mutters with a smile; “bloody women.” David we both realise has been a silent observer to everything that has transpired.

“I’m sorry, David,” Pharone exclaims. “I forgot you were here.”

“Well, that’s bloody obvious. You have no idea what it’s like, standing here, watching two of the most beautiful women I have ever known having their brains fucked out by someone else.”

“Come,” Pharone suddenly exclaims. “Let’s all go for a swim.”

David shrugs, kicks his runners off and then drops his t-shirt on them.

“Is that all, David?” Pharone asks, indicating his shorts.

“Ah, what the hell,” he mutters. “You’ve seen it all before Pharone and you’re both naked.” With that piece of logic dispensed, he pulls his shorts off and tosses them onto the clothing pile.

“Thinking back to the date we had at the club and what my intentions had been for a while, I can see, I would not have been disappointed.” I smile at him, feeling rather confident in myself and perhaps a bit flirty then Pharone laughs.

Pharone takes his hand and draws him towards the surf and on a whim; I hurry to his side and grasp his other hand. Pharone is first; as a wave breaks just in front of us, she dives into it as it washed past David and I then we both duplicate her actions with the next wave then all three of us are swimming away from the shore. Suddenly, another of those columns of water erupts from the surface of the ocean beneath Pharone, bearing her up, up and even further up before tumbling over and she executes a graceful head-first dive back into the ocean.

“Oh my god,” I scream when I feel the water pressure under me and suddenly I’m being pushed up and up before I’m launched back at the sea.

I manage to brace for a dive and plunge deep when I hit the water but a few sure strokes and with the water pushing, my head breaks the surface just in time to see both David and Pharone rising on two more columns to dive back into the water. Suddenly, I’m being pushed along, faster and faster and then just as dolphins do, the surging push of water throws me into a graceful arc and again, with arms extended, I hit the water and the push of water resumes. A glance to my left reveals, Pharone and David are paralleling me, also apparently leaping and plunging, again and again and it’s completely effortless. All I do is maintain the arms extended, legs straight position and the power of the surging push of water does the rest, on and on, leaping and plunging until suddenly, I realise, we’re not alone. A pod of actual dolphins has joined us and before long, we’re mimicking their actions, twisting and turning with every leap, plunging deep and soaring high. It’s by far, the most exhilarating experience I have ever known. I feel so free, so alive, defying the laws that normally bind humans to their actual existence. As quickly as they came, the dolphins are gone, heading for the distant horizon and we three ae left floating together and I’m aware, I’m not having to read water to keep my head above the surface.

Pharone breaks into deep and hearty laughter, David follows and a moment later, I’m laughing right along with the pair. We swim together and embrace, no words need to be said. We have the benefit of a shared experience and each of us knows what the others are feeling. A glance shows, we are so far out to sea, the shore is barely visible; just a hazy line at the white-water mark where the surf breaks and the solitary light of Pharone’s house behind it. For a moment, I feel a little fear, so far from shore and so far out to sea but when we disentangle ourselves, those currents are back, sweeping us back towards terra-firma. David and I stumble out of the surf, laughing and running through the shallows. I drop to being seated on the hard sand, just above the extent of the waves and David does the same beside me. Pharone has stopped where the water is waist-deep, facing back out to sea and as before, there is a small column of water close to her face it appears the pair are talking so I boost my hearing levels to listen to what’s being said.

“My father, thank you for sharing of yourself with my friends. Thank you for your gifts. Thank you for being gentle with Dayna. I know the tempest that resides within you but refrained.” A few moments of silence follows. “Yes, she is not like a human. Her mind is very human but not the brain that holds it.” Again a few moments of silence follow. “I can’t read her thoughts either Father, it’s not just you.” The pauses I assume are Poseidon replying and the revelation that I am now accepting the existence of this God as being real. I simply can’t deny the evidence of my experience. There is most defiantly intelligence behind it and although, it’s not a typical physical presence, it does have real presence in the form of the waters of the oceans it commands. “I will pass along your appreciation and tell her, you now consider her your daughter as well; regardless that fathers are not supposed to have sex with their children. I do understand the distinction involved here and will make her aware of your feelings on the matter.” I can tell, there is genuine affection involved here and I’m moved almost to tears watching Pharone interacting with the God of the oceans, this Poseidon. I know now, she has been telling the truth and it wasn’t just some incredible tale concocted for my benefit.

“It’s sure as hell something to see, Dayna,” David remarks as with a final gesture of I guess the love Pharone and Poseidon share, she seemingly caresses the water-column confronting her with both hands then as it retreats back to the sea, she turns and walks towards us.

“So, Dayna, are you satisfied that I have proved my case?” Pharone smiles and I guess the expression I must surely have on my face is all the answer she requires.

“As unbelievable as it has all been, yes, I do no longer harbour any doubts, you were telling the truth.”

“Poseidon now considers you his daughter, just like he does with me.”

“I should probably apologise here but I was eavesdropping on your conversation.”

Pharone laughs, “I forgot you can do that. So, what do you think?”

“I think I am grateful to you. You’ve shown me something that I did not believe possible and given me reason to believe, there is more to this world than most people know.”

“I know neither of you will reveal what you now know about me just as both David and I will keep your secrets, Dayna. I can see David’s thoughts and know for a fact he won’t. With you Dayna, I’m relying on trust but I believe as much as you have my trust, I now have yours.”
 
“You have my word, Pharone.” We embrace, sealing the promises we just made.

“Well, I don’t know about you ladies, but it’s almost midnight and I’m starving.” David injects after glancing at his wristwatch and sorting the clothes pile to find his, and passing our garments to us each in turn..

Before any of us an do anything, a rather large coral trout lands flopping on the sand, half a metre to David’s left just as we’re dressing.

“I suggest, Father is offering fish for dinner,” I quip as I pull my top down and they both laugh.

David doesn’t bother putting his runners back on and with them in his left hand. he scoops the fish up with two fingers on his right hand in its gills then sets off back towards the house. ”I’ll cook it if you girls do a side dish; I know there’s enough in the fridge for a nice salad.”

“Salads are my forte’,” I mention, duplicating his actions and just carrying my runners. “Take me to your kitchen, Pharone of Atlantis.” I suggest with a laugh when she joins us.

Pharone smiles, realising the acceptance in my words, again takes my hands and squeezes it and I return the gesture. I realise, it’s been just over a day since we met but already, I feel closer to this woman than anyone except my family. We’ve forged a friendship based on mutual awareness and trust and there are no better foundations. Pharone seems to be letting David get ahead of us, retaining her hold on my hand and committing me to walking at her pace.

“It’s hard on David,” she mentions softly. “Think about what he’s just witnessed.”

“I imagine it would be, Pharone,” I reply equally softly.

“I don’t have to imagine, Dayna. I can see his thoughts. To quote his unique style of speech, he stood there watching us have our brains fucked out. He’s very aroused but he thinks he’s keeping his feelings to himself. I know, okay, I know.”

“I get the impression you two have been intimate; forgive me if I am wrong though. I’m not trying to insinuate anything.”

“We actually have been, just last weekend to be exact. I had no idea how this week end would transpire. If I had of guessed, I’d have waited. Do you remember, I mentioned how my immortality works?”

“Something about sex, right,” I offer, not quite sure as when she talked about it, I was still rather doubtful about her whole story.

“Yes, that’s it exactly. Poseidon, well, you’ve experienced him now. He’s rather lusty and to be quite frank and meaning no disrespect, as you Australians say, a lecherous old bastard. You’ve probably read about the legendary orgies the gods were said to enjoy. Poseidon thought it would be amusing to make me need sex to rejuvenate. Unlike your apparent situation, I age day to day just like anyone does. It had been almost eight years since my last lover. I rejuvenate when I have sex with a man. Poseidon’s gift triggers with the seed of a man, his semen. I was I guess thirty-five or thirty-six physical years before I invited David to my bed last week end. I wanted to make a good impression on you but in hindsight, it would have been wiser to wait and let you see the transformation for yourself. I was almost twenty eight the day I died, in my prime so to speak. Rejuvenation returns me to the age I was on that day. The clock resets I guess is the best description I can think of. David took a thirty-six year old woman to bed and woke with a twenty-eight year old in his arms.”

“I can actually understand that, knowing what I do about you now. So, that’s how it works for you.”

“It’s actually a way out if this immortal life becomes too much to bear. I simply forsake sexual contact, grow old and die. It’s been hard at times, watching someone that the more I love over time, they grow older and I don’t and I eventually lose them to old age. Many times, I’ve considered giving up. That sort of constant loss is hard on the heart, understand?”

“I’ve actually thought about it once I got used to the concept of an extended life. The power-cell in here will last about none hundred years and it’s actually replaceable at any time.”

“Nine hundred years, well, I’ve over twelve-thousand years of life behind me now. I’ve experienced maybe five-thousand lovers, five-hundred loves and countless heartaches and that is what you have to look forward to. You will bury everyone you care about. You’ll have to face the decision whether to give your heart, again and again or remain a stone, uncaring and unloving. I’ve done both. After losing someone I cared for very much, I would vow and declare, never again, but then some man would breeze into my life and I can’t stop being a woman. As hard as I tried not to, I’d fall for him and have to go through it all over again.”

“That’s pretty much how I thought my future life might be, Pharone. I’ve yet to experience it. My first love was killed but by then, we’d fallen out of love. I still loved him but was no longer in love with him, if you can understand the difference.”

“I can and I do, Dayna. Is there anyone in your life currently?”

“No, there’s not really, Pharone. There was a man, Lachlan, and I thought there may have been some sort of future with him, but it didn’t work out. There’s another man, his name is Gary, that personal interest I mentioned that was shot and is currently in hospital. We’d been intimate just once but I was not considering him a future love interest, more like a friends with benefits sort of thing.”

“Another side-effect of this immortality I have is I’m sterile. Poseidon was perceptive enough to realise, parents should not have to bury their children so he spared me that pain.”

“I am able to have children if I choose, but I thought about what you just mentioned, parents loosing children and decided, I won’t. I have an on-board option to disable the hormones needed to prepare the womb and that’s set to prevent me getting pregnant. The unlikely bonus from that is, no periods, one thing I definitely do not miss about being a woman.”

“I agree with that, one hundred percent. Have you ever been envious of man? All they get is the fun part, the sex. No breasts ravaged by breast-feeding; no stretchmarks, no periods and no childbirth?”

“I guess every woman envies that side of things, but I do so love being a woman. I like finding myself in his strong arms. I like being kissed and caressed and enjoy being seduced, knowing that it’s my choice and when the time comes, agreeing and seeing the joy and gratitude on his face.”

“Oh yes, I feel exactly the same. Being able to read a man’s mind has made me selective regarding potential lovers though. There are some that although they make all the right noises and gestures, I know their only goal is not me as the woman that I am but rather, just someone to have sex with for their own pleasure.”

“I have to trust my instincts about that, Pharone,” I mention with a knowing smile.
 
“How do you feel about other women?”

“You mean, sexually,” I ask, just to confirm that we’re on the same line of thought and her nod tells me, we are. “I have only ever had male lovers, and very few of those. This is difficult to explain but I’ll try. Since I woke in here and with everything I’ve been through, I’ve gone from being rather shy and conservative to far more outgoing and confident. I made myself a promise on my deathbed that if I somehow miraculously got better, I would live a more full life and try to experience everything I had a desire to try. I have been given that second chance. That fact that opportunity has not crossed my path yet is the only reason I haven’t satisfied my curiosity.”

“I have done so with another woman in the past. You are a beautiful woman, Dayna. I’m not suggesting anything, but should you ever decide to sate that curiosity, please consider me,”

“To be honest, Pharone, I already have. When I saw you with Poseidon, I found myself drawn to wanting to know you like that.”

“Really,” Pharone asks. “Atlantis had no stigma about lovers, male or female or both; this was just accepted as a person’s right to make their own choices. I admit, I do prefer a male but there have been occasions when I’ve shared a bed with both, even at the same time.”

“I’ve never really considered it. I’ve been with men. I’ve imagined what being with a woman would be like, but have never considered both at both same time.”

“I’m thinking of David. I can read his thoughts. He’s feeling the pressure of his arousal after being witness to what we both experienced. I know he’s planning to pleasure himself in the shower after we eat. I was going to suggest, we have a swim in the pool once dinner is done. I don’t want to embarrass him by suggesting he skips his planned masturbation in the shower but rather, I am thinking to change his mind and his intent with a swim.”

“I understand, I’ll make myself scarce after dinner so you two can have some privacy.”

“No, no, you are missing my intent. What’s say we both take him to bed? He’s a pretty good lover and I know for a fact, us exploring each other will not be a passion killer for him. You’ll get to address your curiosity about me but if at any stage, you’re uncomfortable about it, just say so and we’ll focus exclusively on him. I am sure between us that we could go close to killing the poor man.”

That has me laughing, enough that David looks back at us and I assume to try to see what the joke was. “I think I’d like that, Pharone, in fact, I would like it.”

“Then that’s the plan, Dayna. Right, let’s go see what this man can do with fresh fish. Later, we’ll find out what he can do with fresh women.”

“I’m getting excited just thinking about it, Pharone.”

“I’ll let you in on a secret, I am too but don’t tell him that. Let’s make him work for his reward.”

“You have a bit of an evil side to your nature, Pharone.”

“That, my dear Dayna is a fact.”

David is waiting at the door, holding it open for us, a perplexed look on his face while Pharone and I just glance at each other and start giggling like a pair of errant schoolgirls.
