Chapter 4: Plans and Play

 

Once in Cairo, while Jonathan, and Rick kept watch over Alex, Evelyn busied her self with details of the dig.  The workers were already there, mostly American, and a few British, who were just as anxious as she was to start the restoration of Thebes.  Now in her office, Evelyn sat at her desk looking over maps drawn from past explorations there, which included a few she and Rick had mapped out when they had been there to find the Treasures of Ramses.  Luxor, was the last kingdom of the Pharoahs to stand, and had parished due to an attack, though the details of the attack were more myth than truth.  As she worked, Evie didn’t notice the late hour, nor did she notice her husband enter with lunch.

 

“How about something to eat,”  he said.  At his voice, she looked up, and smiled, which brought a smile to his face.  Rick never tired of watching her.  Her beauty was unlike any other woman he had ever met or spoken too.

 

“So how are the plans coming?”  he asked as he took the blanket he had brought, and spread it out on the floor by one of the huge windows.  After putting the maps she had been looking at away, Evelyn settled down on the blanket next to her husband.

 

“Good. I think we need to start in the Temple of Ammun,”  she said as she took a bite of cheese he offered her.  Despite his initial reservations about being in Egypt, Rick was beginning to feel his adventurous spirit return, and was rather looking forward to working beside his wife.  As they ate, Evelyn told him about how Luxor had parished, and how Pharoahs long after had worked on rebuilding it, but in vain, as the city seemed unrepairable by some unforeseen circumstances.  That bit of information, Rick frowned upon as he thought of curses, but seeing his wife so happy and determined, he quickly set his own thoughts of unease aside.

 

“Where is Alex?”  she asked as they finished their meal.

 

“Oh Jonathan took him to the Market to get supplies I sent him for,”  Rick said.  Evie turned facing him, and reached out unbuttoning his shirt.  At bold action, Rick raised his brow.

 

“Something in mind?”  he asked as she got the last button of his shirt unfastened.  Evie moved both hands up and down his chest, and Rick watched her intently.

 

“I was thinking we might get an early start on exploration,”  she said as she leaned in rubbing her cheek across the rippling muscles of his chest.  In response Rick groaned, and leaned back until his back rested against the blanket, and his head against the basket.

 

“And what is it you intend to find?”  He asked reaching out to rub a hand leisurely over her back.  Evelyn didn’t speak, letting her hands and lips do all the talking, and Rick’s body responded to what she was doing to him.  After three years of being his wife, Evelyn had learned how to make her husband happy, and in turn herself.  She kissed over his chest, moving her mouth slowly against his nipples, which got a groan of pleasure from him.  Lightly she grazed her teeth against them, then kissed down his chest to his stomach, rubbing her cheek there.  Her touch had aroused him, and Rick found his trousers painfully tight.

 

“Evie Evie,”  he whispered as he felt her hands at the buckle of his belt.  She unfastened that slowly, pulling it all the way off, then rubbed her hand against the bulge in his pants.  Reflexisivly, Rick arched his hips up letting his head drop from the basket to the floor.  Slowly Evie unbuttoned his pants, and carefully pulled the zipper down.  She slid his pants down as far as she could get them, as well as his boxers, then moved over him.  Rick had to stifle his cry of pleasure with part of the blanket as she covered his penis with her mouth.  For a moment she suckled him, then pulled away.

 

“God Evie more,”  he said lifting his head.  She took the time to take her panties, shoes, and stockings off, then strattled, him placing her hands at both his shoulders.  With his help she eased onto him.  Both of them gasped at the pleasure his entry caused, and moaned as she began to make love to him.  Her lips found his, and Rick moved his hands away from her waist pulling the creme colored blouse she wore out of her skirt.  He unbuttoned as much of the blouse as he could and pushed up her bra massaging over her soft supple breasts.  Evie stopped moving for a moment crying out as Rick’s hands began to push and pinch her sensitive breasts, then once again she began her movements tilting her head back as his hands continued their assault.  When her walls began to tighten around his hard penis, Rick moved his hands away from her breasts and rubbed them down her stomach.  He rubbed one finger against the soft thatch of curls at her center, and Evelyn bit the side of her cheek to keep from being to noisy.  His touch on her clit pushed her over the edge, and she leaned down, crying out in his mouth as they kissed.  Rick pushed his hips up and helped her move until his own climax took over.

Minutes later they finally began to move.  Evie lifted her head from his shoulder, her hair now a mess as it fell over them, curtaining his head.

 

“Hi beautiful,”  he said leaning up to kiss her.

 

“Hmm, I wish we had time for more exploration, but I need to get cleaned up,”  She said still staying where she was.  It was never easy to leave him, but Evelyn had more things than making love to her husband on her mind, and Rick knew that.  Once both of them had dressed, and as Rick was about to leave, Alex came bounding in, running despite the fact he had a cast on.

 

“Daddy Unc John mad me,”  he said hugging his fathers legs.  Rick picked him up about the time Jonathan walked in, and his face was red.

 

“Do you know what he did?”  Jonathan all but yelled.  Seeing Jonathan as mad as he was, both Rick and Evie wondered what their son had done, because it was not like Jonathan to ever get mad at Alex.

 

“Jonathan take a breath,”  Evie said.  He did, and she got him to cool off while Rick took Alex outside to work of some of the energy he was displaying.

 

“He took my best piece of treasure, from Hamunaptra no less, and before I could get my hands on him gave it to one of those God damn Gypsies,”  Jonathan said turning red again.  Evelyn had to control her urge to laugh at that, then looked past Jonathan as Rick and Alex came back in.

 

“Unca John I sorry I did.  She not have no shoes,”  he said.  Rick was also finding this amusing, and when Jonathan saw him trying not to laugh he stormed out.

 

“Well I think I’ll get him home,”  Rick started to say, but Alex ran to Evie hugging her.

 

“No want stay if mummy,”  he said.  Evie knelt down hugging him.

 

“Baby, Mummy has a great deal of work to do.  When I come home tonight, daddy and I will show you our special secret place,”  Evelyn said.  That got him excited, and willingly he went with Rick.  Once they were gone, Evelyn got back to her maps and plans for Thebes, while the two men of her life went to find some adventure.

Evening arrived, and Rick had made Moroccan Lamb Stew, and was stirring that as Alex played on the kitchen floor with his toys.  He was all dressed for bed, and had been remarkable well behaved, which was rare for him. 

 

“Daddy Unca John not home et. He mad me, and runned way cause I was naughty,”  Alex said sadly.  Rick turned the flame down on the stew, then sat down beside his son and Alex willingly climbed on his lap.

 

“Your Uncle John loves you very much, but what you gave away was not yours to give,”  Rick said.  Alex sighed.

 

“But you mummy give tings to peoples got no shoes and socks and toys,”  Alex said.  That was true.  When Alex outgrew his clothing, or if there were toys he hadn’t played with in ages, they usually gathered all of that up and gave them to the Orphanage.  Since becoming wealthy, Rick had found he couldn’t keep all their money, and giving like that made him hope that some kid wouldn’t have to do without the way he had when he was an orphan.

 

“Your right, but that ring was Jonathan’s and I’m sure if you would have asked him, he might have given you something else to give the Gypsie,”  Rick said.

 

“But He say they bunch of God Damn buggers,”  Alex said.  Hearing his two year old use that kind of Language did not make Rick happy, and he turned Alex to face him.

 

“Don’t you say that again.  Saying God Damn, and name calling is not nice pal,”  Rick said standing.  He put Alex in the Quiet chair, which got rid of the quiet in the house as he began to cry.  Getting back to his stew, Rick was getting ready to serve it up when Evie walked in frowning when she saw her baby crying, and in the Quiet Chair.

“What did he do?”  she asked quietly.

 

“Repeated something Jonathan said, and should not have in front of him, though I’m just as guilty,”  Rick said feeling less anger toward Jonathan.  When Rick got mad he tended to use profanity, even around Alex, and he was realizing that as well as not having arguments around him, they also needed to watch what they said, or at least he and Jonathan did.  Evelyn saw to the rest of the dinner preparations, giving Rick a chance to tell Alex why he had been sent to the quiet chair.  Once that was resolved, they sat down to dinner, which was pleasant.

 

~*~

 

A mile and a half from their house, close to the Nile was a watering hole which was Rick and Evie’s special place, and where they took Alex once dinner was finished.  Now on a blanket they all sat looking at the night sky which was filled with stars, stars they rarely saw much of living in London with all the lights from the city.  They lived away from the city, but the pollution, there and the lights caused the viewer less of an opportunity to see the sky in all its night time glory.

 

“Mummy, I unt go up there,”  Alex said as he rested his head in her lap.  Evie smiled remembering when she was a child, and how she thought if she climbed to the top of the Pyramids at Giza, she would be able to reach the stars.

“I used to want that too, but those stars are very far away from us, so for now we just have to watch them,”  she said leaning back against her husband.  It was rare when they had a quiet time with Alex, who was constantly on the go now that he was able to walk and talk.

 

“Daddy, you go up there?”  he asked yawning. 

 

“I think I would rather stay here with you and your mum,”  Rick said rubbing his hand over his sons tummy.  Soon Alex slept, and Evie eased him on his tummy, standing.  From his spot on the blanket, Rick watched as she took off her cloths, surprised that she was being so bold with Alex so close.

 

“Are you just going to sit there?  Or will you join me?”  she asked softly.  Evelyn didn’t have to ask twice, and once he was undressed, Rick took her hand and they walked the short distance to the clear water, formed from some sort of underground stream, they guessed from the Nile, though neither one cared how it had gotten there, only enjoying the time together.  It was chilly as they stepped in, and once in, Rick pulled Evelyn against him kissing her lips, then trailing his kisses over her chin, then down her neck.

 

“Should we be doing this?”  she asked, suddenly remembering Alex sleeping near by.  It was Rick’s turn to be bold, and he lowered himself so he was even with her breasts.

 

“I think so,”  he whispered as he took one breast in his mouth.  Evelyn wrapped her arms lightly around his head as he began to suckle her.  He eased away from her right breast standing up to kiss her lips before going to the left breast.  As he suckled her, Evelyn reached down and began to rub against his hard flesh.  Rick gasped out her name as she scraped her finger nail beneath his penis at the base, then moved her hand away.  He reached under and grasped his penis then positioned himself so that he rubbed it at her entry.  Evie pushed on his bottom, wanting him to take her, and without a second thought he did, pushing in to her and moving out of her in a slow steady rhythm.  He panted as her lips moved over his neck nibbling and licking her way to his ear.  There she nibbled on his soft lobe, then drew it into her warm mouth.  His hands against her bottom, rubbing there caused her to moan, and she pulled away, returning to his mouth as he began a more forceful rhythm.  Rick pressed into her harder, and with each forceful thrust Evelyn cried out, calling his name over and over until her body tightened around him, She placed her mouth at his neck and cried out as her orgasm came, inducing his own.  Rick held her tight against him rubbing one hand up and down her back.

 

“I love you,”  he whispered into her ear, kissing her there.  Once more composed, they got out of the water dressing despite being wet.  While Evelyn got their blanket, Rick lifted Alex into his arms without waking him, and they went home, to get some needed rest before their journey into Thebes.
