Sunday, July 15th

Cape Neddick, Maine

At 6 pm that evening Alexis was sitting at her computer writing more of her newest book. She’d been at it since her and Bon had returned from the airport, which was the last two and a half hours. Stretching she saved the file then and closed her laptop.

She then left her study and headed up to the bedroom. On the way back from the airport Bon had asked her out to dinner tonight. He said he was taking her somewhere special, and to wear casual chic.

Alexis walked over to her closet and took out a pair of jeans, and her black sequined bustier, laying them on the bed. She went over to her closet again and pulled out a corded tasseled belt, and lay it next to her ensemble.

Then she walked into the bathroom to take her shower. While she bathed she thought about Bon as usual. Wondering where he was taking her tonight.

Forty-five minutes later and she was all dressed and ready. Slipping her feet into a pair of black medium heeled pumps, she grabbed her bag and left the room.

******

Bon at that moment was getting ready himself. He was wearing black levis, an open throat white shirt and a black sports jacket. He picked up a bottle of his favorite cologne and poured a small amount into his palm, then rubbed both palms together and tapped them over his neck, on his ear lobes and upper chest.

Finished he headed downstairs and yelled to Fran that he was leaving, and then grabbing his cell phone from the table near the door headed outdoors to the waiting limo...

Alexis was in the living room looking at herself in a decorative wall mirror wondering if she should wear a necklace when she heard the doorbell ring. She turned away from the mirror as she heard his voice, her pulse quickening.

A few seconds later he walked into the room as she stood there leaning against a chair, waiting to see if he approved of what she was wearing.

He looked devastatingly handsome, as he walked towards her smiling and said, “Hey baby! You look beautiful!” He was wearing his sunglasses and as he came up she reached up and removed them and then he pulled her close as they kissed.

Afterwards she said, “And you look handsome,” she ran her hand over the part of his chest that was exposed. Then she stepped back and said, “Turn around.”

“Why?” he asked laughing shortly.

“Just indulge me,” she said with a small smile.

He turned slowly around, and she saw that the cut of his jacket ended above his ass cheeks which were clearly noticeable in his snug fitting levis. He started to turn back around then but she reached out with her hands and grabbed his shoulders, stopping him. She then trailed her hands down his back until the reached his ass and cupped both of his ass cheeks and squeezed, feeling very warm all of a sudden. She then pressed her front against the length of him, feeling his hard muscular ass pressed up tightly against her mound, as her hands went around him to his package. She started rubbing him there and heard his gasp. “If you start that,” he said, “We’re gonna miss dinner lady!”

She said, “Ohh... okay.” She sounded petulant.

She dropped her arms then as he turned back around. “Look what you’ve done to me,” he said his eyes glancing downwards. She looked as well and saw his cock clearly outlined in his jeans.

“Damn it baby!” she said smiling, as she reached for him again, “I’m so horny and hot right now, I think I need a Bonny pop, to cool me off.”

He didn’t stop her as she sat down in the chair, and then undid his pants and pulled his length out. Licking and sucking his cockhead she then placed her mouth over the head and started fellating him in earnest then, as he moaned and held onto her head, his own head going back. He moved his hips gently to meet her thrusting mouth and in a matter of a minute she sped up as did his hips, and soon he orgasmed, his load shooting into her mouth, his moans hoarse and ragged.

A few seconds later she removed her mouth then, as she sat back in the chair. He tucked himself away and then reached and grabbed her hand pulling her up close to him. Crushing her mouth with his, his tongue entered and mingled with her own, his hands cupping both of her ass cheeks through her jeans.

After a few seconds of that, they reluctantly broke apart and he said, “So are you ready to leave madame? We’re taking the limo this time.”

Alexis said, just let me repair my lips, and reached inside her bag pulling out her lipstick. A few seconds later she put it away and said, “Okay, I’m ready. So where are we going?”

“I’ll tell you about it in the limo,” Bon replied as they headed outdoors....

Ronnie had taken several rolls of film as her and Dane traveled the Southern coast. Three hours later, he mentioned that he was hungry. She said, “Yeah, me too. Do you like seafood Dane?”

He said he did. So she directed him to one of her favorite seafood restaurants, MC Perkins Cove which was in Ogunquit.

A few minutes later they parked at the restaurant and went inside. As they were seated and their waitress handed them menus, they each studied the various entree’s, and after deliberating they both settled on Lobster and a Filet. Dane ordered a bottle of Chardonnay and as the waitress brought their glasses of wine they sat there chatting at their table near the glass window which over looked the rocky coastline.

Dane said, “So lady, I’m can’t tell you how much I’m enjoying spending this day with you.”

Ronnie smiled and said, “Me too Dane. You’re good for me.”

He reached across the table and stroked the back of her hand, as she felt warm butterflies in her tummy. God, but he was a hunk. She found her eyes traveling down from his eyes to his mouth and dropped then to his open necked shirt. He was wearing a black short sleeved shirt and his muscles bulged against the material.

Dane was doing some inspection of his own. His eyes lingered on her blond hair which was cascading around her shoulders, and then moved to the v neck of her white shirt. He could just see the top curve of one breast, the skin creamy and blemish free.

“So,” Dane said as they each took a sip of their wine, “You still do occasional modeling?”

“Yeah, I can’t quite give it up yet,” she said, “as I still make good bucks from it.”

“Isn’t it kind of rough though with having the additional job with the newspaper?” he asked.

“Not really,” she said, “That one’s just part time. And I accepted the position with the stipulation that if I had a modeling shoot to do, that took first precedence.”

They then talked about his life then. He said he was just about finished with all the songs he had been writing on his CD and said, “I’d love to get your opinion Ron. Would you like to come over later and have a listen?”

She said she’d love to, just as the waitress brought them both their meals of huge steamed lobster tails with three inch thick fillets.

******

Bon on the way to the restaurant finally told Alexis where they were going. He said “A friend of mine who visited the coast of Maine quite a few times told me to check out The Saltwater Grill in Portland.”

“Oh yes,” Alexis said, “I’ve never been there but I’ve heard they have great grilled food, and you can see them grilling it!”

“Cool,” Bon replied. “I heard the restaurant has a great view of the Portland Harbor as well.”

They continued chatting and soon they had arrived in Portland and the driver then located the restaurant and parked.

Bon and Alexis entered the restaurant and a hostess walked over with a broad smile on her rather plain face. Bon said, “Hi, I’m Bon”....... “I know,” the woman interrupted. “We’ve been expecting you, Mr. Vincent, right this way.” The middle aged woman had been staring at him as though Alexis didn’t exist and then she turned and led the way into the dining room.

They both looked at each other smiling slightly as the woman then seated them. Before she left she said, “My name is Alicia, and your waitress will be over momentarily. If you need anything please don’t hesitate to ask Mr. Vincent,” she said staring at him rather pointedly. When the woman walked away, Bon and Alexis smiling still, sat down then. They had a magnificent window view of the harbor and soon a waitress walked over and handed them menus.

After a bit Bon ordered the Grilled Black Angus Prime Rib, while Alexis ordered Steamed Maine Lobster served on a bed of mussels. Bon after looking at the beverage list ordered a bottle of Dom Perignon champagne at $150.00 a bottle.

A few minutes later as he opened the champagne and poured each of them some, he said, “So Alex, how do you feel about Olivia going off with Rye to stay for awhile?”

“I guess it’s okay,” Alexis replied. “If she had been here I doubt that we would have seen each other that much anyway as her and Rye are really getting close, ya know?”

“Yeah, I know, same as you and I,” he answered and reached across the table caressing her hand. He then took her hand and leaned over and placed a kiss on the back of her hand. There were others seated at their tables and many of them looked when he did that. Apparently most of them recognized him.

However Alexis was looking at Bon, as they sat there holding hands and sipping their very delicious champagne. She thought about her feelings for him. She was absolutely unequivocally certifiably insane about this man, she thought.

“I’m crazy about you, Bon,” she said quietly unable to stop herself.

His face which had been smiling, suddenly wore a look of passion upon it, as he said, “And I’m just as crazy about you, Alex,” his voice soft and husky. And still they sat there staring at each other as Bon caressed her hand.

The waitress walked over then and set down the appetizers they’d ordered, which broke the spell.

Bon had ordered an Appetizer Sampler of Shrimp Cocktail, Cracklin’ Calamari, and Lobster & Scallop Croquette for the both of them.

The appetizers were excellent and soon their entrees arrived. Bon tasted his prime rib and said, “This is fabulous, how’s your lobster?”

Alexis had a huge 1 lb lobster served on a bed of black mussels. She broke open a piece of the tail and took out a chunk of the white meat with her fork, dipping it in butter and then popped it into her mouth. “Mmmmm,” she said, “succulent and sweet.”

He winked at her, thinking how sexy she looked even when she ate, and even with a bit of butter dripping down her chin. Putting his fork down, he leaned across the table and gently wiped the butter from her chin, and then licked it off his fingers as Alexis felt her whole body flame. Watching his tongue licking his fingers gave her other ideas.

She stared at him intently and said, “Thank you. And don’t wear that tongue out, cause I intend for you to put it to much better use later on tonight.”

Bon stared at her, smiling, and said, ’Oh?” He wiped his mouth with his napkin and said, “Can’t wait,” and took another sip of his champagne.

Later that evening as the couple were driven home, Bon said, “Baby, stay with me tonight, this time.” He pulled her close as they kissed passionately.

When the kiss ended she said “Okay, but I need to stop by my place and get my overnight bag.”

When they arrived at her house, she quickly packed a few things and then almost forgetting she walked over and picked up her birth control pack and slipped that in her overnight case as well.

[Thalia at that point was wondering if her Mother would be returning tonight as she had promised. If she did she wouldn’t find Alexis here, but Thalia wasn’t worried as she knew that when they didn’t find her here, Bon's estate would be the first place they would look.]

Finished Alexis left the room and then met Bon at the foot of the stairs. Marie was coming into the foyer then and she told her she would be staying at Bon’s for the night. She had already phoned Ronnie earlier and got her voice mail, so she’d left her a message saying she would be back in the morning. She and Bon left then as the limo driver took them on to his estate.

Ronnie was sitting next to Dane on the sofa in the family room, and had just finished listening to some of Dane’s new compositions. She said, “I liked them all, and I’ll definitely buy your new CD,” she said smiling. “I own your other one, by the way. Wonderful collection of songs.”

He put his arm around her and said, “That’s cool, so you really are a fan of mine. I’ll see that you get a free copy of this new one.”

“Now how do you expect to sell any if you’re giving away freebies?” Ronnie asked she stared at his mouth wishing he’d kiss her.

“Oh, I’m not giving many away, just to friends or family. The rest of my fans will have to buy their own copy. Besides I don’t really care that much about sales, the other CD didn’t do that well sales wise, but I love composing so I keep doing it anyway,” he told her.

Then they both stared at each other and suddenly his head bent as he pulled her closer and he started kissing her. She responded and his tongue pressed into her mouth as the kiss got more passionate. They continued as his hands stroked her body, finally settling on her breasts. Ronnie felt fire at his touch and moaned. Her hands worked their way down his chest and then caressed his package through his jeans. In a few seconds she could feel the bulge against her hand, and quickly unbuttoned his pants, unzipping his zipper. Then she slipped her hand inside and felt his hard length.

Dane in the meantime had unbuttoned her shirt and gently laid it open. The kiss broke then as he stared at her chest. She was wearing a white lacy bra, her cleavage displaying two beautiful creamy mounds. At that point Dane said, “Are you sure you want to continue this? I mean are you ready for this Ronnie?”

“I’m ready, Dane,” she said. “I knew from the first moment we met, that I wanted to be with you,”

“Me too,” he said. But as he dipped his head to kiss her again, she said, “Maybe we’d better find a place more private though.”

They got up then and quickly left the room. Dane took her hand and took her up to his bedroom.

He gently undressed her and then she helped him undress as well. He had a magnificent toned and fit body which aroused Ronnie filling her with heat and his tattoo of Pennywise the clown was amazing. She actually liked it, which amazed her even more.

Dane laid her back on the bed, and feasted his eyes on her nakedness. “God but you are incredibly beautiful Ronnie,” he breathed, his eyes showing her how much he adored her. He kissed her as he explored her mouth with his tongue and then continued to make exquisite love to her, his lips traveling from her mouth kissing his way down to her pink tipped breasts, sucking and licking each of her nipples before continuing onwards, working his way down to her pussy. As he spread her legs and fastened his mouth over her mound, Ronnie felt wave after wave of intense pleasure engulf her body and if anybody had mentioned the name Jimmy at that point she would have asked, Jimmy who?

Kronos' Study

Titania, The Realm

Eos met Kronos at his estate later night and as they both sat in his study, he was telling her that he had looked at the prophecy earlier and hadn’t found anything new.

Eos said, “So what are you going to tell Thalia to convince her to come with us?”

“I think it wise to not go into an abundance of detail,” Kronos told her. “Instead I will try and keep it simple and say there is someone I would like her to meet from the 1st century. I will show her Bjorn on my the image viewer and if she agrees to go back with us, only then will I tell her the second part.”

“Which is?” Eos asked.

“That she also lived another life time as Tasha,” he replied. “That she lived in Bjorn’s lifetime and knew him as well.”

Eos nodded. She wondered what Thalia would think about her having had a previous life.

Kronos stood up then and walked to a video block. He pressed some buttons as Eos joined him. Soon the view showed Alexis’ bedroom, but by zooming in they could see that the bed was still made and the couple was not there.

Kronos pushed other buttons, and the video scrambled and then showed the interior of the mortal’s bedroom. The couple were making love intensely on the floor on top of a fur rug.

They watched as Bon, who had been fucking Alexis pulled his member out as he whispered “Turn over baby.” She turned over and got on all fours and opened her legs as he entered her asshole then, his cock slick from her pussy juices.

“Ah,” Eos said, “They indulge in the second favorite position of the Greeks. Ironic how things have not changed all these thousands of years,” she mused.

Kronos smiling, agreed with her.

Eos watched the mortal’s technique and had the thought she could see why her daughter was so attached to him, as he was an incredibly virile lover. Shortly after she’d arrived in Titania, Eos herself had, had a brief fling with Adonis and it had been one of the most satisfying sexual experiences she’d ever had. Watching the mortal reminded her of Adonis making love to her those eons ago.

Kronos then pressed a button which made the video scramble and then the next scene showed the both of them in the bed asleep. He pressed the button for coordinates, and suddenly letters and numbers printed out on the screen showing the exact time, day and year.

Then he pressed a button and the screen went blank.

“Let us be on our way then Eos,” Kronos said and together they left the room, heading for the portal.....

******

Thalia was half way in sleep when suddenly she heard Kronos whisper, “Thalia open your eyes.”

She opened them to see him standing near the balcony door, with her Mother standing next to him. Gently she removed Bon’s arm and got out of bed, putting a robe on quickly as the three of them entered the bathroom.

Kronos spoke quickly, saying, “Thalia, Eos has told me about your attachment to the mortal. We may have an answer to your predicament and have found a possible way that you can have what you want without sacrificing the mission.”

As her face formed a question he went on and said, “We need to take you back to Titania tonight and I ask that you ask no questions, for all will be explained to you in time.”

Thalia nodded her head, but said, “Are we leaving now?”

“Yes,” Kronos said. “You know the ritual words must be spoken in reverse to remove yourself from your host?”

She nodded and the three of them left the bathroom. Thalia removed Alexis’ robe and got back in the bed in the same position as Bon’s arm came around her. She whispered the ritual words at once and her strands then left Alexis’ body, to form into her own person a few feet from the bed.

Kronos waved his hand and a gown appeared on her body. Then the three of them walked through the wall and headed back to the portal.

After the deities returned to Titania, they were once again inside Kronos’ estate in his study. Eos and Thalia were sitting in chairs before his large table.

Rhea came in then and brought them some Rose Petal tea.

As Thalia sat there drinking her tea her mind was full of questions, but she’d said she would not ask so she sat there silently waiting.

Kronos set his tea cup down and said looking at the young Goddess, “What if I were tell you that you could have Bon Vincent and not only that, you could have him without taking him from Alexandria?”

Thalia remained silent but her eyes reflected confusion as he continued saying, “You see Thalia, a few years ago when this mission was created I found out some interesting information at that time. Upon doing a background check on Bon Vincent's life, Scout brought back additional data from a previous lifetime.”

Thalia shook her head saying, ’I don’t understand.”

“Bon Vincent Johnson lived an additional lifetime as a Viking Warrior, by the name of Bjorn Bontykir,” Kronos told her. “The time was around 1,000 AD.”

Thalia tried to remember from her ancient history class, what she knew of Vikings. Basically many of them were barbarians who raided and pillaged, raped and killed many villagers, robbing them of everything including their slaves and children.

Kronos stood up, and said, “Let me show you.” He walked over to a wall of video blocks as Eos and Thalia followed. He tuned it back to the first video that he and Eos had watched of Bjorn entering the Great Hall.

As Thalia watched she saw a muscular very well built, fairly tall man wearing very little clothing and holding a long sword, walk over to the wall. Just then he turned and Thalia gasped as she saw his face.

“It’s my Bon!” she exclaimed.

“It IS my darling,“Eos replied, “only a version of himself living in a more ancient time.”

Thalia saw another man walk over to him with fair hair and listened as Bjorn spoke to him. He sounded just like Bon she realized. The only difference was that this version of him had long brown hair, was a bit more muscular but still that face, those eyes were undeniably Bon Vincent’s.

Then the man left the room, much to her disappointment. Kronos pressed a button and the screen went blank.

“It’s amazing,” Thalia said, “he looks just like Bon Vincent Johnson!”

“He IS Bon Vincent Johnson,” Kronos said, just a bit younger though in that time line. Would you like to meet him Thalia?” Kronos asked her.

Thalia turned and saw that both he and her mother were watching her intently.

She didn’t answer, instead she walked a few feet away and stood with her back to them. Then she turned and fire blazed from her violet eyes.

“I know what you’re both trying to do!” she said her tone accusing. “And it will not work! I have fallen in love with Bon and you think by taking me back to this warrior’s time that I will want him instead of Bon don’t you?”

Eos recoiled having never seen her daughter like this.

But Kronos remained calm. “We just want you to come with us and see him for yourself,” Kronos told her.

“I just saw him,” Thalia stated, “And I don’t want him, I want Bon the way he is in the present.”

“My child,” Eos started... But Thalia broke in and said, “I am not a child mother, I am a woman and I would never choose a barbarian over someone as gentle and kind as Bon!”

“Thalia,” Eos said, ’Please listen to me and try and contain yourself. First of all, Bjorn is not a barbarian. It is true he is a warrior and lives with his Viking leader Leif Eriksson. But they are basically good as are the people in his clan and mostly they are explorers discovering new lands. They only use violence when it is necessary to defend what is their’s. They are not like some of the other Viking’s that I’m sure you have read about in your Ancient History class,” she finished.

Thalia was standing there with a defiant look on her face. “I do not care, mother. I do NOT want that version of Bon. I fell in love with present day Bon and he is the mortal that I want,” her voice broke then on a tiny sob as she bent her head wiping at a tear.

Kronos and Eos looked at each other.

Kronos said, “Thalia there is something else I need to show you.” She looked up then and as he waited she slowly walked over to him.

He turned to the same video block and a few seconds later another image appeared on the screen. It was the other scene that Kronos and Eos had seen of Bjorn walking towards the Smithy and greeting Tasha.

Thalia watched Bjorn as he walked across the street and then suddenly saw a young woman with long dark hair falling to her waist step out of a small house and start walking towards him.

As they got even with one another Kronos pressed a button and the screen split show both of their faces. He froze the frame then.

Thalia had a quick intake of breath again as she found herself staring at the woman. For the woman was herself.

As Eos and Kronos watched her expression, Kronos said, “Yes, it is you Thalia. Although in that time you are known as Tasha Dardenne. I also discovered by running another search that you too had lived another lifetime, a time later than our own era and not only that, I found out that you lived during Bjorn’s own lifetime and that you both knew each other.”

Thalia turned to her mother then and said, “I lived another life? Why did you not tell me of this?”

Eos said, “I did not know my child. I only found this out very recently.”

Thalia’s eyes went back to the screen as Kronos unfroze it. She could see the look of desire in Bjorn’s eyes as he stared at the other life’s version of herself. She felt a myriad of feelings then, not being able to identify them as Kronos reached and pressed a button causing the images to disappear.

He turned to her and said, “All we want is for you to come with us, to that time, and see him for yourself. Watching him on a video is but an echo to meeting him in person.”

At her silence, he said, “If you agree to come with us, you will amalgamate inside of Tasha. When you do this, her memories will become yours, and yours will become hers. In other words you and she will be truly one. Then it will really be you Thalia, interacting with him,” he finished.

“Yes my dear,” Eos said. “Just come back with us and judge for yourself. Just for a short time. If you decide afterwards that you still don’t want the warrior then we will respect your decision and won’t press you any longer about it.”

Thalia walked over to a chair and sat down. She thought about the man named Bjorn. She admitted to herself that he had stirred her and when she had seen the way he had looked at her other self, she finally realized that what she had felt was desire. And too if she amalgamated with this Tasha version of herself, it would be vastly different than melding with some other strange woman. It would really be her. But what about Bon? She suddenly felt very confused and put her head in her hands briefly.

Her mother walked over and squatted beside her. “Thalia, what is your answer? Will you come with us and just spend a small amount of time getting to know Bjorn a bit?”

Thalia raised her head, and looked at her mother and not able to fight anymore she said, “If you wish it.” She placed her head back in her hands.

Eos stood up her face triumphant and walked over to Kronos. He whispered, “Don’t be too happy, Eos. We may have won the battle but we have not yet won the war.”

Eos turned and they both looked at the young Goddess....

******

Kronos explained the procedure to Thalia, saying they were going back at a key moment in Bjorn’s and Tasha’s life. Thalia would amalgamate with Tasha and Kronos and Eos would return the following night to bring her back to current day earth.

Kronos checked the exact coordinates for their time intrusion selecting a moment after Tasha returned from the dance.

The three of them headed for the portal room and quickly mounted the steps, as Kronos put in the coordinates and then he quickly changed Thalia’s appearance to a dress similar to what Tasha had been wearing.

Each of them stepped through the portal then.

Summer, 1000 AD

Gothab, on the Southwest coast of Greenland

They arrived at the same point at the edge of the woods as before. It was late night at this time almost midnight to be exact, and the three of them headed for the village and the Great Hall.

Cautiously peering around the building they saw no one around and Kronos said, “There is Tasha’s house right across the street. We will leave you now and remember to make your way back to the woods tomorrow night at 1 am where we will be waiting to take you back to your host.”

Thalia a bit nervous, hugged her mother and Eos said, “Don’t fret my child, you will be fine.”

Then as Thalia hurried across the street, the two watched her walk straight through the wall of the house...
