Anubis POV

"Mm, that was great," Sadie purred, nuzzling my bare chest. I smiled, petting her hair. We were lounging in her room, catching our breath from the wild sex we'd just finished. Sadie stretched, displaying a remarkable figure for a fourteen year old. I felt a slight twinge of satisfaction at the trail of love marks she had going down her spine.

"Can you come again tomorrow night?" Sadie asked, looking up at me with expression of hope.

"Getting greedy, are we?" I asked, tucking a piece of hair behind her ear. She smiled and leaned up to kiss my cheek.

I sighed. If it were up to me I would be in her room every night, pleasing her to no end. But I was barely managing to sneak away once a month to see her without the gods noticing. If I was caught, or someone started to suspect that I had become a mortal's lover, Sadie would be punished for my actions. She could be imprisoned…or worse.

A fresh wave of guilt went down my spine. I always came to see her with the intention of stopping our intimacy in the bed, but left her completely defeated. One kiss was all it took for a month's worth of planning to go into a grave.

"No, beauty, I've told you before, only once a month," I said, forcing the objection through my teeth.

She sighed, disappointment in her eyes. "Okay."

I kissed her again, savoring the feel of her soft skin on mine, her small hands around my own. I would think of us like this all month, to keep me going.

"I love you," I purred, hugging her to me tightly. I looked out the window. The sun was coming up.

"Sadie, I have to-"

"Go,"' she finished glumly. "You have to go."

I sighed and tilted her chin up, meeting her gloomy eyes. "Don't be so blue, I'll be back next month."

She sighed, "I know. I just wish…." She trailed off, looking a little put down.

I kissed her on the forehead. "Beauty, I wish the same, but I can't. I will see you next month. I love you."

She gave me a small smile. "I love you too."

I stood and summoned my clothing. Sadie stretched out luxuriously once more and sank into a deep sleep. I smiled loving, kissing her forehead before dissolving into the shadows.
