Oasis of Time

The Pharaoh watched her quietly and sighed before he went over to her and knelt down beside her. "Promise me one thing though," he said softly to her.

"What is that?" Amelia asked, blinking at him.

"If you do end up trapped here, please, don't cut off your hair," Tutankhamun whispered, playing his fingers through her brown hair again.

"Alright...guess I could promise that...but in return...you'll give me a job to do. Okay?" Amelia said, watching him.

The Pharaoh sighed, but nodded anyway. "I will," he replied.

"Thank you...then...I wouldn't mind you taking me to your bed...every so often..."Amelia whispered the last bit, looking away from him.

Tutankhamun paused, watching her before he gently turned her head back to him. He smiled at her and leaned down to press a kiss to her lips.

Amelia blushed at the kiss, awkwardly trying to kiss him back. It was odd how her dream had been so realistic.

After a moment, the Pharaoh pulled back and gazed down at her. "Please," he whispered. "Let me take you to my bed now."

"But...we don't even know if I can go back to my own time.." Amelia whispered softly.

"So, you wish to wait until you know for sure you can or cannot go back? It may be too late by then. You said I was going to die, remember?"

"Why me though....There are so many women at your feet. One measly woman surely could not satisfy you.."

Tutankhamun stared at her for a moment, arching an eyebrow. "What do you take me for, Amelia?" he asked. "A whore?"

"No but that does not answer my question" Amelia said and since he didn't seem to want to answer she got up to leave.

Tutankhamun sighed, stopping her, gently holding onto her wrist. "I'm drawn to you, Amelia," he said to her. "To you more than any other woman I have ever met. I don't know why that is, but I've learned to trust what my instincts tell me. And right now, you are all I can think of it, every hour of every night and day."

Amelia blushed and looked away. Even god didn't know how much she wanted him to embrace her but she also knew they'd never be able to marry. "Do...do you have any protection....so I can't get pregnant?"


((stupid thing to ask at this point since she's already preggers xD))

Tutankhamun frowned; what did protection have to do with not getting pregnant? "Uh, I-I'm not sure what you mean," he replied.

"Your seed...so it doesn't go inside of me..." Amelia whispered, realizing he didn't know what she meant.

The Pharaoh stared at her. What seed? Why would he put seeds inside her? That would be very uncomfortable and even on the wrong side. You planted seeds in the ground, not in people.

"How to explain it...after sex you climax so sperm comes from your penis...it's often called a seed because it helps make a child..."

Tutankhamun was quiet for a moment before he seemed to get it. "Oh, I see," he replied. "And you don't want that to happen?"

"Exactly...I might be forgiven if I loose my virginity but there's no way my father would forgive me if I had a child.." Amelia whispered.

"Why do you depend on your father so much?" Tutankhamun asked. "Does he rule your life like you're a slave?"

"Because in my time, as a woman you must do as your father says, then once married you must do as your husband says"

"And you want to go back to that?" Tutankhamun asked, frowning.
