OOC:
Lessee how this goes... it must be the killer in my muffin thats attracted to something so complexly intriguing... I expect you are much more than equal to the task at hand? You don't necessarily have to "keep up," your tongue still works wonders doesn't it?
IC: I hate the desert, the damned place is worse than the tundra. The roiling dunes, the blistering heat and the endless empty miles of sand. I wasn't trained for deserts. I was trained for jungles, woods, mountains, ice, snow. This sand was for the camels.
We didn't even have those. This operation had to have been the worst planned escapade it has ever been my misfortune to deal with. First they managed to have our method of extraction blown up by enemy elements. Then we get split up entirely. La Princeppessa was with the rest of his men and I was stuck with him. This made me pretty nervous, I was her bodyguard, had been with her through our capture and imprisonment.
Thirdly, and the worst of it, he wouldn't listen to me. It had been an inside job by a Westerner, no way one of the terrorists loping around the Mediterannean had done it. The MO was all wrong. He just patted me on the head. I really hate that. We were to meet up with his men in the town of Shiraz near the border. Heading directly south we would cross into neutral territory and get lifted out. The man was irritating. I don't care how hunky he might be, he was still damned irritating. He wouldn't even tell me his name. Not that I told him mine, but the least he could do was offer his.
"Up there, see it? We'll stop there for the afternoon." He nodded, indicating a greenish patch up in the distance. I nodded, indicating my compliance. Not that he cared if he had it, he outranked me, he was in charge. Mission supe. Sighing, I had to admit the desert was his territory anyway.
He made me wait in the lee of a dune while he checked the oasis over carefully. Nearly an hour later, he whistled me over. "Its spring fed. You can take a bath after you drink." He sounded irritated. "I don't want to hear any of your cockamamie theories. Save it for debriefing."
He did his bivouac thing while I filled the canteens. After he'd drunk his fill, he stretched out on the sand under a bush tree thing. God I hated the desert. I unwrapped myself from the native dress I was relegated to wearing. After months of being locked in a dank cell with these robes on, the freedom of nudity felt wonderful.
Looking back over my shoulder, I noticed that I now had his undivided attention. Boldly considering him from head to toe, I decided that wasn't such a bad thing. He was strong, virile, well defined musculature. He may have been older, but my tastes ran that direction anyway.
I stepped into the water, dunking down into it's heavenly coolness. I looked back at him again, he was sitting up again, staring. What was he thinking, I wondered. Standing in the thigh deep water, I faced him. I watched him, waiting to see what he would do now.
