“Don’t brush it so hard,” warned Carla, as if she was the expert. “You can damage the tablet.” She stood behind me, ready to step in. I saw her tucking her long blond hair behind her ears.
Slowly and very carefully, I brushed millennia old dust away from cuneiform inscriptions that might reveal the secret I was searching for my whole academic career. Sweat rolled down my forehead, blinding me for a moment. My white t-shirt was already soaked, and I had to find a dry spot to wipe away the salty sweat from my eyes. In that movement, I caught a glimpse of Carla’s gaping khaki shirt revealing her full rounded breasts. Her nipples stood proudly stiff against the wet material. The curves of her breasts flowed like the dunes in the desert, calling my parched desires like an oasis. Looking down at my wet t-shirt covered breasts, I saw my own pink nipples pushing against the thin, now, transparent cotton, aching for attention. I pulled the cotton away from my body.
Fuck-it, I couldn’t allow my libido and the sexual allure of my assistant to distract me from the task at hand.
I shook my head to clear the vision from my head and the accumulating wetness in my pussy. I couldn’t lose my concentration now, just when the goal was so close at hand. This could be the most important find of my career as an archeologist, and maybe in the history of humankind. The content of this ancient cuneiform tablet could change my life forever.
The brush in my hand trembled. I had difficulty suppressing my anxiety and anticipation. The moment became too big. Carla’s warm hand on my shoulder and the pressure of her breast against my arm gave me the reassurance I needed. But it also created a diversion. My own tits expanded in lust and my wetness below turned into a small stream. I couldn’t shake the eroticism of the moment. As a last resort, I inhaled deeply, cleansing my mind of all distractions, trying to ignore all bodily sensations. How could I, at my age, lose myself in the pleasures of the body?
“This is what you have been searching for, isn’t it, Professor Artemis?” whispered Carla in my ear. I felt her breath against my cheek and her lips brushing my ear.
Then I saw the whole inscription on the tablet, the moment I’ve been waiting for:
Follow the concubine to the underworld.
What the fuck did it mean?
I quickly copied the cuneiform text, took enough photographs and made the necessary notes of where, how and when I found the tablet. I removed the tablet from its resting place and wrapped it a strong but soft cloth. We couldn’t waste any time. We were in Iraq, the ancient Babylon, the centre of the ancient Sumerian Dynasty of about 6000 years ago. I was a professor in Ancient and Mythological Studies and had this opportunity to do research in this remote area that was a war zone. Carla volunteered to accompany me on this dangerous expedition.
“What does all this crap mean, Prof?” asked Carla, bringing me back to our situation.
“Follow the concubine or whore to the underworld,” I repeated the translated.
“Who is the whore?”
“The only possible candidate is Inanna,” I said
“Huh?”
“Inanna was the goddess of love, but not of marriage. She is linked to extra-marital sex and sensual affairs. It is said that she used to walk the streets of the city looking for sexual adventures.
“My kind of goddess,” smiled Carla. “What about the underworld? Is that the name of the ancient Mafia?”
“Be serious. Inanna had a sister called, Ereshkigal, who was the goddess of the underworld. Ereshkigal’s husband was murdered by Gilgamesh and Enkidu. As reason for her visit Inanna said that she wanted to attend the funeral of her sister’s husband. Ereshkigal allowed her to enter on condition that Inanna must remove a piece of clothing at seven different places on her journey.
“A kind of striptease?” interrupted Carla my mythological lesson.
“Precisely.”
“Then where is the entrance to this underworld?” asked Carla, looking around.
I stood up from my kneeling position and looked at the mountains surrounding us. Dry and empty mountains stood guard to an ancient secret. In a valley close by, I saw a green patch tucked away in a V-shape gorge. It looked like a woman’s spread legs with her pussy hair covering the entrance. The Sumerians of old didn’t shave or wax their pussies. I carefully packed the wrapped tablet and all my equipment into my rucksack, swung it onto my shoulders and showed Carla the likely spot.
The cave opening looked like spread vulva, water dripped around the edges, covered in beautiful pink flowers. Clearly, this lady was aroused as I was.
“This cunt is ready to be fucked,” smiled Carla in my ear.
“Then we should not keep her waiting,” I said as I fished out my flashlight from my rucksack.
As we walked past the flowers its pollen gave off a sweet smell. Feeling faint and confused I had to stop to steady myself against the wet sticky wall of the cave. Carla seemed to have the same reaction to the pollen. I must have blacked-out for a moment, because when I opened my eyes, I saw an ancient female warrior standing before us. She had a long spear in her one hand. A thin leather thong covered her pussy and her breasts were bare. I looked at Carla, wondering if she saw the same apparition before us. Judging from her big eyes and astonished look on her face, Carla also saw the warrior.
A beautiful warrior pointed to her head and then to my head. Of course, we had removed a piece of clothing, the first station on Inanna’s journey into the underworld. I took off my hat and Carla followed suit. My rucksack and flashlight had to stay behind. The female warrior turned and walked deeper into the entrance. We followed her into a clammy cave. The side walls of the cave were damp, emitting unnatural light. We didn’t need light after all. The warrior disappeared as we carefully walked down the carved steps. At the first turn stood another beautiful woman dressed in a revealing outfit. She pouted her lips as if she was kissing someone.
“She wants us to kiss, Prof.”
Carla took control and pulled me closer to her. She hugged and kissed me. I wondered if Carla was aroused as I was. Instinct took over. My mouth opened to grant her searching tongue entrance. My tongue played games with hers while I sucked her deeper into my mouth. My panty was soaked with my arousal and I had to touch Carla to feel if she was wet too. Her shorts prevented me from any further exploration. I could feel how Carla sucked in my tongue into her mouth. Time and space seized to exist as we tongue-fucked. In our throws of passion, I sensed the presence of our second guide. She indicated that we must remove everything around our necks. Carla took off her golden crucifix and I removed my Peruvian necklace.
We continued down the narrowing passage and had to walk in single file. I took the lead and Carla grabbed onto the belt of my shorts. The walls of the cave were not just wet anymore but were covered with a slimy substance.
At the next turn, we had to remove our tops. My breasts sprang free and I had my first full view of Carla’s beautiful orbs. I had to touch them. They were firm and soft. I worried her nipples between my fingers. I heard a moan escaping from her luscious lips. I tried to remember when the last time was, I caressed another woman’s breasts, other than my own. More than ten years ago, I realized, before my live-in partner left me for one of her students.
I forgot all about the discovery, the journey we had to complete. I kissed, caressed and embraced Carla, doing things to her that I could not do during the last ten years.
I stopped, sanity returning to my overstimulated senses. I was ashamed of my actions. How could I use my assistant for my own pleasure and satisfaction? I stepped back, aching to suck on her beautiful firm breasts. I dropped my head in embarrassment.
“What the fuck are you doing, Prof? You can’t stop now.”
“I am truly sorry.” I couldn’t look her in the eyes. The guide took us further, down the slimy passage. Fortunately, Carla was behind me. I couldn’t look at her succulent breast without losing control. Touching my own nipples, I nearly fainted. My knees buckled and I had to stop to steady myself.
At a small clearing our guide indicated that the next clothing items that had to go were our shorts. Carla slowly undid the belt and zipper of her shorts, swaying her hips while she lowered her shorts down her long, beautiful legs. I was mesmerized by her strip show, wishing I could kiss those thighs, flicking my tongue close to her pink lacey covered pussy. I was lost in my desire for her.
