Book 4: Love in the Caribbean

Chapter 8: The Siren Goddess's serenade

A few weeks later after meeting Leo, Lunaria arrived in the Sahara desert at the start of dawn. She appeared in a silver light to stand upon the sand. She smiled and sighed as she breathed in the calming air. She was wearing a playful slate grey colored sundress that was barely above her kneecaps. It was a slim fit against the curves of her body. She looked around as she stood at the bottom of a sand dune valley only to smile when she heard a familiar, and no longer frightening, roar.

*Roar*

Lunaria looked up and smiled as she was greeted by Leo the Niemen lion cub. Leo appeared at the top of a massive sand dune and his golden coat shinned in the sun's light. He would have been mistaken and feared to be a juvenile African lion by most mortals that crossed his path, but Lunaria knew that he was only a baby and a real pussycat at heart. Leo slowly walked down the shifting sandy dunes towards her and the moment he reached her he placed his furry head against her chest and started purring like a kitten. Lunaria smiled and affectionately scratched him behind the ears.

"Hello Leo it's good to see you too. Now can you be a dear and take me to Solaris I know he's not far from here."

Leo led Lunaria over a few more sand dunes and into an open area of sand in a valley of dunes. Where there was once, a sandy valley, a tropical oasis suddenly appeared before her. The coconut palms, dates and banana trees grew out from the sandy ground. Ground that the moment her feet touched it the sands hardened into fertile soil. There was a clear fresh water spring in the middle of the oasis. It was by the spring that Lunaria saw Solaris. He was shirtless barefoot and doing the ancient Grecian sport called the hammer-throw.

Lunaria stopped and watched as Solaris made a circle in the dirt and stood inside of it before he grabbed the handle of the chain that connected to the hammer ball. Her eyes widened in immense awe as she familiarized herself to the technique as she watched Solaris prefect it before her very eyes.

The throwing motion involved about two swings from a stationary position, then three, four, or very rarely five rotations of the body in a circular motion using a complicated heel-toe movement of the foot. The hammer moves in a circular path, increasing in velocity with each turn with the high point of the hammer ball toward the target sector and the low point at the back of the circle. The thrower releases the ball from the front of the circle.

Lunaria blushed and shivered in desire over how his muscles flexed the moment he released the hammer ball. It went flying through the air and far surpassed every Olympic record for the most distance. Lunaria eventually lost sight of the hammer ball in the sun. She heard Solaris say with a chuckle as he massaged his wrists with a satisfied smirk.

"Another 10000 feet, ha, I still got it..."
Lunaria blink in shock over just how strong Solaris really was and that caused her to smile. Her husband to be wasn't just an extremely handsome man he was also an incredibly strong man. Lunaria was grinning as she spoke.

"Solaris,"

Solaris spun around on the soles of his feet in shock, and then smiled brightly giving her a gleaming smile when he saw Lunaria standing before him.

"Lunaria..."

He walked over, took her in his arms, and kissed her lips with a fierce passionate love. Lunaria moaned into the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. She pulled away after a minute of kissing him and said with a smile.

"You have an incredible throw Solaris!"

"Thank you I practice daily, it's the only way I can put up a decent snowball fight against the yetis of the Himalayas."

Lunaria rolled her eyes with a smirk, "By Yetis you mean Phil?"

"I believe the proper term for him is Big Hairy Gorilla."
