Interview with Marduk

 

J: Marduk, I’m so happy that by being an immortal god, you’re alive and available for an interview with me today. Since I don’t want to give anything away in the upcoming books you star in, I’ll try to ask you questions that are unrelated to your life in the ancient world. So, maybe you can start out by telling us something about your life in modern times.

Marduk: Thank you for having me. I guess modern times are a bit crazy, but I’ve had years to get used to things. I’m not that into technology, but one of my favorite things about this period is the internet. Since I’m no longer able to use my powers to travel through the clouds like I did back then, it’s great to have things like Facebook for keeping in touch with my god and goddess friends.

J: Are you still in touch with Akad and Aya?

Marduk: *laughs* You should know better than to ask me that. I can’t really say without giving spoilers.

J: Okay, sorry. I’ll stick to modern things. I guess there are a million questions I could ask you, but I was wondering if you could share your thoughts on the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on Gay Marriage.

Marduk: That’s actually something I’ve been following online, and of course, I think it’s great. In the ancient world, we really didn’t distinguish between gay or straight, since almost everyone back then was what you now call ‘bisexual.’ Though I really hated the idea of gods being forced to marry goddesses, it made sense for our times because a god needed heirs in order to continue his line. However, if they had gay marriage back then, I would have certainly married a god. So, of course, I’m very happy about the ruling, and I think it’s a huge step forward for the mortal species.

J: Well, I’m dying to ask you if you’re planning any marriage of your own, but I don’t want you to tell too much about your personal life until the next two books are out. So, my next question is whether you think Akad or Aya would be willing to come do an interview with me.

Marduk: *smiles* I’ll ask them and see what they say.

J: Okay, thank you Marduk, and thank you for sharing with us today. By the way, you look quite nice in modern clothing. You’re pretty cute in those jeans.

Marduk: *laughs* Gods, don’t be such a flirt. You know I’m taken.

J: *smiles and shakes his hand* Thanks for coming, Marduk.

Sexuality Class at the Oasis Pool

For today’s exercise, we will begin with the most basic element: the kiss.” Isis smiled and turned toward Marduk.

“Come forward, Marduk.”

Marduk’s heart leapt and he moved to the middle of the pool before Isis.

“Young Marduk, your reputation for being a fascinating lover precedes you, but I intend to take you out of your comfort zone. It appears you have no fear when it comes to the ladies, but what is your experience with gods?” Marduk stared at Isis, his voice catching in his throat.

“I don’t really have experience.” Marduk wanted badly to steal a glance at Aya, but he kept his eyes on Isis, suppressing the temptation.

“Aya-Zaqar, come forward,” Isis said, still not breaking her stare with Marduk. Heat flushed into Marduk’s face, and blood rushed to his groin. Isis was going to be his undoing. Marduk sank lower in the water and turned to watch as Aya waded toward them. Seeing the pink in Aya’s cheeks made Marduk even harder. By the time Aya stopped before him, Marduk’s heart was beating out of his chest.

“Marduk, I want you to demonstrate a kiss for the class. Please give us a glimpse of the passion and intensity that you are known for.”

Ignoring the fluttering in his stomach, Marduk pressed up against Aya’s body, slid his arms around his waist, and drew him in. Aya gasped, his eyes growing wide as Marduk smiled down at him.

Never had he imagined touching Aya before an audience, but he wanted this god more than anything. He ran his hand up Aya’s slender back and slid his fingers into Aya’s long hair. Then he leaned into Aya, claiming his mouth. When Aya opened up for him, the taste of peaches invaded Marduk’s senses, and a surge of warmth pulsed through his body.
