Part Five
`I have a good idea what you want to discuss to do next,' Audrey said, her face flushing at the thought, but still sat down beside him and let him take her into his arms and kiss her.
I wish we'd done this in New York,' she murmured between kisses as they lay back, in a decent bed,' as he started to undo her shirt for the second time that morning. But this time, she helped and soon had it off and him kissing her breasts again as she got his shirt off interrupting his kissing and fondling of her.
Only this time, she took control and pushed him off of her and made him lie on his back. This time, she took off his boots and undid the shorts and pulled them down and off, letting his erection flop and lie up hard on his stomach. They both smiled at each other as she went and sat down and took her boots off, him loving to see her naked breasts swing slightly forward as she leaned herself to undo the laces. Then she stood up and slowly teased him with a lascivious grin on her face as her shorts were moved down off her hips in a tantalising way until the triangle of hair was visible and then pushed right down for her to step out of.
Audrey moved over to the cot and knelt down and lifted his erection upright and gazed at it.
So big and strong,' she said as her hand slowly moved up and down the shaft, the skin moving so easily over the muscle beneath. The outside is so soft and silky and yet it feels like a rod of iron. And the pleasure it gave me earlier this morning, well! Now it's my turn to give you some pleasure,' she said, and with that, leaned up and over him and took as much of his throbbing cock into her mouth.
He gave out a gasp, not expecting this sudden and yet delightful start to what would be their second coupling. It was the first time a woman had ever gone down on him and he was surprised at the heat of a mouth as she closed her lips round the base of the head. He gave out a groan as the tongue ran round the exposed part and felt her teeth gently bite. Then there was the sucking he could feel as though he had the tube of a vacuum cleaner on the end of his cock.
`Not too much,' he cried as he became excited under her ministrations with all that was in her mouth. She tilted her head so that she could look at him and winked and it made him give out a laugh at seeing her eyes twinkle and the bulge in her cheek that was the head of his cock. She gave him another slurp and lifted her head and gave the tip a quick kiss before letting go and getting onto the cot with him.
He expected her to lie down beside him but she had other ideas and straddled his thighs instead. With her left hand, she lifted his prick into an upright position again and then lifting her own body up too, shuffled forward on her knees until she was over his rampant prick. He'd seen this done on a video and it another first for him as she lowered herself down, inserting the head of his cock firmly into the entrance of her vagina before letting go of it and letting her body sink down as his prick moved up till she was sitting on his thighs with him fully up inside her.
`Now you can play with my tits while I fuck you this time,' she said as she began to move herself up and down on him. Her breasts moved and began to bounce it time to her movements and he automatically lifted up his arms and took them into his hands and massaged them as she kept moving doing what she said she would do.
She threw her head back and began to run her own hands up and down her inner thighs as she began to move faster. Her breasts were becoming sweaty but Brendan was still able to hold them as sweat broke out on his forehead as he began to lift his hips up to meet her.
They both cried out as they came again together at the same time, Audrey's head coming down and her hair a wild tangle now, hanging down too, framing her face as she went limp again. Brendan, lying there, thought of how lucky he was to have found a woman like this and smiled when he could feel a trickle of what had been inside Audrey start to creep down his inner thigh.
I hope she's on the pill, he thought as his semen and her fluids ran down his thigh, for he hadn't given any thought of using a condom either time.
It was a little time before Audrey could lift her head and give Brendan a smile and eased herself up for him to flop out all wet and sticky onto his stomach as she moved off of him. He began to think of what to use to wipe himself but Audrey had already thought of that and now took his still hard cock into her mouth and sucked and tongued him clean.
You do taste nice,' she said, cuddling up to him, licking her lips. Next time I want you to come in my mouth so that I can taste you properly. Then you can lick and suck on me till I come, but you don't have to do it to me if you don't want to.'
He did want to if she was willing to take his seed into her mouth, why then couldn't he do the same for her. That's what love is he said to himself. Give and take.
After their slow lovemaking which Audrey hadn't wanted to end, they got dressed again, ready to face the world outside.
`Shall we tell Martinez what we've been doing?' Brendan asked as he tucked the tail of his shirt into his trousers.
`Certainly not!' Audrey said indignantly.
`I meant with the helmets,' he grinned.
`Same answer, and I've given you reasons as to why not.'
`You're right. Let's go up to the mess tent and get a cup of coffee and discuss it properly. I get too distracted in here.'
`I wonder why,' Audrey said with a smile, giving him a kiss before preceding him out of the tent.
`So it takes just over the hour to get to the ship,' Brendan said when they were sitting down alone at one of the mess tables.
`So that's two hours plus to start with. Then you stayed there for just over six.'
`A total of nine and a half hours all told. In their time of course. I was only gone for forty seconds in our time.'
`So one day there would be about a minute and a half here?'
`Yes.'
`How long do you think we would be there then? To see it all I mean.'
`Well I don't really know. I had a sleep, but I only really saw the top two levels. I would say a couple of days, their time, and we'd only be away from here for three minutes. You spend more time than that in the shower or latrine.'
`You been timing me?'
No. It's just that I notice such things,' she replied airily. So we'd have to pack a basket with supplies for at least two days and say that we were going on a picnic.'
`Some picnic if we're back in three minutes with all the food eaten!'
Well, we'd just have to dally about somewhere out of sight of the camp for a couple of hours. I'm sure we could find something to do to use up those few hours,' she said with a grin. He laughed and gave her a hug, I'm sure we could.'
So it was settled that they would stay in camp for lunch and then say that they were taking the afternoon off to go and look around the plateau, taking a snack with them. They finished their coffee and went back to work at the dig. Audrey to her square and Brendan joined Martinez at the cleaning tables.
`Judging by the spring in your step and the expression on Audrey's face, I think that the cat has been at the cream,' Martinez said to Brendan with a knowing look in his eye. Brendan could only grin and he gave him a slap on the back.
`We're taking the afternoon off to go exploring.'
`Haven't you done that already?' Martinez said with a smile.
`This is a picnic we're going on actually.'
Well don't sit near an anthill,' Martinez advised. They bite.'
Audrey was thinking about how to get two large baskets out of the camp without arousing suspicion as she worked on her patch of bones. The only answer was to take them out while invisible. So during lunch, she whispered to Brendan what they should do.
With the meal over, they waited till the cook had cleaned up the lunch things when Brendan told him to go and check the water pump down by the river. He looked oddly at him at this order, but did as he was told. As he left the camp on his trek, Audrey went up with her basket with a helmet in it and then, with Brendan's help, they made sandwiches and the like, enough for two days, along with some water bottles. It was awkward holding the basket as she put on her helmet, as she wouldn't have been able to pick it up after donning the thing. But she managed, and disappeared from Brendan's sight, along with the heavy food basket.
This she took down to her tent where she collected the other helmet, taking hers off first to do this, and then, by carefully balancing things on her lap, put hers back on. Then, laden down, she left the camp and walked a good quarter of a mile before stopping and pulling off her helmet. Then she left the heavy basket and the two helmets and walked back to the camp.
She arrived back at the mess tent at the same time as the cook, and he helped her make up a small picnic basket for her and Brendan. She took this back to her tent and went and had a shower before putting on fresh clothes, adding a jumper and blanket to the basket. She was ready when Brendan called, and armed with two cameras, notepad, pens etc, they set off on their `picnic'. Martinez watched them go with an amused smile on his face, wishing he was twenty years younger.
`Well?' Brendan asked when they were out of earshot of the camp.
`The damn thing was heavy. You can carry it to the ship seeing as I've carried it nearly half way. It's still some distance from here.' She liked it when he took her arm in his as they walked towards where she had left the helmets.
They were soon at the place where Audrey had left them, and with Brendan carrying the heavy basket, Audrey carried the lighter one and the two helmets. She wanted to reach the end of the plateau before donning them, just to see where the end was in relation to the past.
It was well over half way to the ship when they reached the sparse trees that marked the edge of the large open space. Then carefully holding their supplies, so as not to lose them in the transition, they put their helmets on, and dropped the visors. Audrey careful took stock of their surroundings, being careful not to let go of her basket, just in case it disappeared. She hadn't tried anything like this yet, and would rather lose something non-essential than the food.
All was well and she explained about the homing beacon, and they set off to follow in the direction shown. She laughed at Brendan as he skirted the trees and bushes at first, and laughed harder when he fell over as she had done. It wasn't long before they saw the ship, and Brendan couldn't stop enthusing over it. He took two Polaroid pictures and they waited the few moments to see the good shots of the ship. Then he took several with the other camera, especially of the ramp and door.
It's marvellous,' Brendan exclaimed, and so exciting. How did you dare to enter the thing? I would have thought twice before going in.'
I didn't exactly wet my knickers, but it was definitely scary,' Audrey replied. Come on. There's more surprising things inside, and I haven't seen all of it myself yet.' She then led the way up the short ramp and went inside. Brendan, being nearly six foot, had to really duck down to enter the ship.
Again, she felt the waft of slightly pungent air swirl round her as she stood on the mat inside the door, and remarked on it to Brendan. `Disinfectant?' he asked, and Audrey replied that was what she thought.
`We can also take off our helmets now that we are inside. We are here in their time now,' she said as she took hers off. Brendan followed suit and now could see much better, and was alarmed when he gravitated as he stepped off the mat, almost reaching the ceiling.
`Wow!'
`Now watch this,' Audrey said as she too, stepped off the mat and they both became bathed in the orange glow as the ramp closed up, shutting out the daylight from outside.
I think I'm going to be saying wow' all day long here,' he laughed, drifting upwards again as he did so. Without movement of his body, he found that he gently drifted back down to the floor, so he was starting to learn fast. They went on to the centre of the sphere, just the few feet really, and the door silently closed behind them. Brendan looked round the small chamber and looked up the central well to the sky high above.
`How did you get up there?' he asked, looking round as she had done.
Leave the helmets here, we don't need them up top,' as she put hers down with the basket. It was by trial and error that I found out how to get up there,' pointing up the central well. Audrey then demonstrated the art of rising and falling, moving sideways and stopping by the use of her hands. She watched in amusement as Brendan experienced the weightlessness as he moved his hands, and joined him in their trip to the top of the ship. He prowled around the dome, looking at everything, marvelling at what he saw and was transported into heaven when he was coaxed to recline in one of the seats.
`This would be a must in the camp after a day's digging,' he said.
`Exactly what I said when I first tried it. Isn't it gorgeous?'
No well equipped expedition should be without one,' he sighed, as he let the contoured seat massage his back and thighs. This would make you a small fortune if you could get it on the market. Have you worked out what all these buttons are for?' he asked, indicating the console between the seats.
`No. That's why I wanted you to come along. I didn't dare try anything in case I got sent into limbo and couldn't get back. I thought that if I was going to disappear, I might as well go with somebody else than be left on my own.'
Thanks,' he answered dryly. Then he sat up and considered the console at the end of the arm rest. All these strange figures must be their alphabet or numbering system. Are they all the same?' He waved his arm at the other seats and consoles.
Yes,' Audrey confirmed, and it's the same with all the screens and controls down on the next level, though there's more than just those few symbols.'
Right,' he said rising from the seat, let's just take a couple of pictures of up here and we'll go down and look at the next surprise.' So after taking two pictures and seeing them come from the Polaroid, they went to the central well where Brendan hesitated before leaving the edge of the solid floor beneath his feet.
Come on silly,' Audrey laughed, I felt the same the first time. See, it's perfectly safe,' she said, stepping out into the void and holding out her hand to him. She smiled as he tentatively took that step out, holding her hand tight, and gave a self deprecating laugh as he did so.
`I'll get used to it in time.'
`Our time, or their time,' and they both laughed as Audrey let go of his hand and held hers out, palms down, she became suffused with the orange glow as she started to drift down away from him. She gave her lips a lick as her face came level with his crotch and used her hands to stop herself from moving.
`Now don't go waving your hands about or we might have an accident,' she said as she pulled down the zipper of his shorts and pulled out his limp dick. Well it wasn't quite limp for just her actions had started to make it grow so she quickly took the whole of his penis into her mouth and had the pleasure of feeling it get larger and bigger and begin to force itself out.
`Christ,' she heard him gasp from up above her. It seemed strange to her by having him in her mouth while standing up. One was either kneeling down or laying alongside a man when doing this she thought. Then nearly choked on it when she thought of how this looked with both of them suspended in air as they were. But she wanted to really taste him and so she placed her left hand round onto his backside and held the base of his shaft with her hand and jerked him off as she sucked and tongued him. She could see out of the corners of her eyes, both of his fists clenched and close to his sides as she felt him start to tremble and knew he was about to come.
And come he did! She didn't know there would be that amount. The first burst was almost enough to fill what little space she had left what with his throbbing head in there too. But she grimly held onto him as his hips jerked as more came out of the eye of his cock and now the head was awash with his semen and she was breathing hard through her nose as the last few jerks brought out the last. Her eyes rolled in her head for she wasn't quite sure how to do this now that she'd actually done it.
She nearly choked on the first try of swallowing but managed to get some down her throat which made it a bit more easier and then she was able to swallow most of it on the second go and now she could taste him properly with the taste buds of the tongue. So she swallowed the rest and then sucked on him again as she licked the rest and cleaned the head of his cock before looking up smiling, to see him smiling back down at her as she put him away and zipped him up.
Still licking her lips, she moved her hands out again and descended down to the next level. He soon joined her with his own glow and they stepped out onto the second level with its octagonal shape because of the large screens that ran right round the walls. He merged his glow with hers as he took her into his arms and kissed her and thanked her for such a wonderful experience of floating in air and being seen to in such a fashion.
`This I've called the map room,' said Audrey, stepping away from the centre and moving towards the lit screens.
`More like a television director's domain with all this lot,' he said in wonder as he turned in a circle to observe all the screens and keyboards. Audrey had sat down at the lit screens and he went over, carefully skirting the central well, and stood behind her. Audrey explained her theory of the maps displayed and Brendan had to agree with her hypothesis. His hand stroked her neck as he leaned over for a closer look at the screen before her. She leaned back into his hand and gave a silent sigh as she also closed her eyes to his caress and gave a quick thought of the blanket in the basket down below.
`I see what you mean,' said Brendan as he gently touched on of the small squares on the screen to see it change colour, and touched it for the second time to see it revert back.
`Why don't you bring the other chair round and get comfortable,' said Audrey with a smile in her voice, and turned to watch him cross the room, again walking round, avoiding the middle.
`You can walk across the hole. It's quite safe as long as you keep your hands still.'
`Better safe than sorry,' Brendan answered as he grasped the back of the chair to pull it round on its rail. Audrey laughed at his attempt to move it.
Sit down in the chair and think,' she said, regaining her breath. It took me a few minutes to work out how to move it. `It took Brendan five minutes before he realised that it was hand movements that seemed to dictate the means of propulsion within the ship. Soon he silently moved round and brought the chair to a stop next to Audrey.
Hey, that was fun,' he said with a giggle as he came to rest. Did I do it faster or not?'
`I wasn't timing it, but, yes, I think so,' she lied.
`Now let's see if the keyboard is any way similar to the consoles up top,' and he brought out the Polaroid pictures he had taken.
`Look at the first of the two symbols on the left hand column. They are all the same. Then look across and you will see that the second symbol is the same all across. This tells me that the first symbol is a letter and the second one a number. Now I can't relate the first to being the same form as our alphabet, but the second ones I would almost swear to being the numbers one to seven. I think that the consoles are similar to our computer keyboards where we have F1 to F12 where they each have a specific function. What these actually do, we'd have to know the code that they have been set at, which I don't think we are going to find out until we can decipher their alphabet.'
Brendan studied the large keyboard in front of him, copying down each different symbol that he found, and when finished, counted over sixty. Then he took some pictures of, not only the keyboards, but of the screens too, though because of the flash, those screens with maps and pictures, didn't come out very well. So out came the notebook so that he could sketch what every screen showed. Specifically fascinating was the screen of the world slowly turning, showing the solid land mass and vast expanse of water. It took quite some time to get the shape of the land onto paper having to wait for the earth to turn its full circle.
While he was doing this, Audrey went down to the lowest level and brought up the basket of food, taking it up to the dome. It was inconvenient not having a table of sorts to lay things out on, so she spread the blanket on the floor before two of the seats and got out some food for lunch.
Come and get it,' Audrey called down the central well, food's on the floor, ready to be eaten.' She stood there to watch Brendan make the passage up top on his own. She laughed at his hesitancy in stepping out into the void, but he did, and was soon up top with her.
They had their lunch reclining in the massaging seats, drinking water, saving the wine for dinner, looking out over the treetops as they ate.
`Haven't you noticed anything strange out there yet,' Audrey asked, waving her hand towards the view.
`Can't say that I have,' he replied through a mouthful of sandwich.
`Look at the skyline.'
`Yeah, so what?'
`Where are the mountains?'
Good Lord!' he spluttered, sitting bolt upright. When did you notice that they weren't there?'
`Yesterday.'
`Why didn't you tell me?'
`I waited to see if you would notice the lack of them, which means you haven't noticed something else then,' Audrey said, sitting up too and looked at Brendan as he gazed at the nonexistent mountains.
`I thought that this ship was astounding, but no mountains. That takes some beating.'
`Well be prepared for this one then. The Earth's not on its right axis. It's about ten degrees out.'
What!' Brendan exclaimed, looking up at the sun, shading his eyes as he did so. How can you tell? It looks alright to me.'
`You can only tell when you're outside by lifting and dropping the visor of the helmet. You know, their time and our time. That's how I noticed it, and it literally floored me.' He laughed when she told him how and what happened.
`Well that knocks a lot of theories into a cocked hat. Many people believed that the separation of the continents was a gradual process in the expansion of the Earth in its growing process from within. Others thought that all this happened before the appearance of life on Earth.
The minority opinion is that the Earth was struck by huge meteors that caused these divisions and the great depths of the oceans. With the sun being, as you say, about ten degrees out, leads me to believe this last theory, but with life already on the planet. We've found bones of the same species all over the world as you know, and if it was one large land mass, this makes it more believable.'
I would like to have attended your classes. You make it sound so simple,' Audrey said with a smile. Plus I could have brought an apple every day.' She was thinking of her first tutor who had neither the physique or charisma of Brendan, but still managed to get her into bed where she lost her virginity. How different things might have turned out if it had been Brendan, she mused, but he was here now, and that was all that mattered.
`Did you make notes when you were here last?' he asked.
No, I only made sketches of the dead Brontosaurus at the site,' she answered as she got her notebook out and thumbed through the pages. Well I know I did,' as she continued to turn over blank pages until she looked up at him with a puzzled expression. `But they're not here now.'
`Different notebook?'
`No. I never took it out of my bag. I did several pages but they're not here now,' a note of exasperation in her voice.
`And I've just had a horrible thought. Come on, we're going down outside for a minute,' Brendan said, his face grim.
`What for?' Audrey asked.
I'll tell you if I'm right. No. Leave everything here,' he said as she started to pick up her bag. We'll only be a few minutes.' She dutifully obeyed, leaving her bag on the floor, joined him at the edge of the central well, and then descended with him to the lower level. He picked up the helmets and handed one to Audrey and put his on, the visor being up.
`Now look at this,' he said after Audrey had settled the helmet on her head, and went and stood on the mat for the ramp to go down. With the daylight flooding in, he pulled out one of the Polaroid pictures of a console from his shirt pocket and showed it to her.
`Now let's go outside and back to our own time and we'll look at the picture again,' he said as he tucked it back into his pocket. He dropped his visor and ducking his head, went out of the door and down the ramp. Audrey followed suit and descended the ramp and stood beside him.
`Now let's lift our visor's and look at the picture.' He lifted his visor as did Audrey and he pulled the photo out from his pocket and they both looked at it.
It was completely blank.
Just as I thought,' he said as Audrey gave a small gasp. That explains the lack of the drawings in your notebook. Now let's drop the visors and see if the picture is still there.' They flipped them down and Audrey eagerly looked forward to see that the picture of the console was back there again.
Well that proves that,' Brendan said, turning round and returning up the ramp into the ship. Inside, he took off his helmet and, taking Audrey's, put them both down on the floor as the ramp silently closed behind them. Damn it! That means that whatever notes we write or photos we take, we can't take them back with us to prove we've been in the past. So whatever we see, it's for us alone, which knocks on the head any thought of going public with this.'
`Pulitzer prize?' Audrey asked.
Don't be crass,' he said crossly, this is bigger than that in scientific terms, but as I said earlier, we wouldn't be allowed to keep the thing, so maybe it's best this way.' They went and stood in the centre of the well and moved their hands to start to rise up.
`Let's look at these other levels,' Audrey said, coming to a stop at the first one. Brendan had gone slightly past, but soon came back down to her and they stepped off to one side. Well they couldn't really step off because the wall was quite close to the central well, and there were only two doors that they could see. Audrey put the palm of her hand against the nearest one and it silently opened, the interior suddenly lighting up so that they could see as they moved inside.
