I'm back. Here's chapter 7, have fun (and REVIEW! hehehe)

Chapter 7: Pool paws

Anubis lowered himself into the warm water that only reached his waist, his tail floating on the surface behind him. Sadie couldn't help but smile at his tail bobbing about freely. He held his arms out to Sadie so he could help her in.

Sadie slipped herself into his arms and wrapped her legs under them to keep herself in place. "Your quite the gentleman when you want aren't you, or should I say gentle dog?" She teased.

"I'm afraid not, I merely like the view from here." He said with a playful grin.

"Well its good to see your getting more comfortable around me" Sadie replied, looking down at him, his head at the same height as her bare stomach.

He put his wet nose against her stomach making her tense involuntarily.

"A.. Anubis" the girl giggled. "What are you doing?" she asked, smiling at him.

He replied by licking her stomach before finally lowering her into the water.

She placed her hands on her hips and glared at him in mock annoyance, "what was that?" she demanded, unable to suppress a smile.

"A lick" he replied bluntly.

Scowling, Sadie splashed Anubis.

In response Anubis grabbed Sadie and pulled her under the water with him.

Under the water she looked as beautiful as ever, her hair flowing freely in the water. After coming back down from taking a breath she motioned for him to follow. He followed her to the end of the pool, shaking water off him as he surfaced, causing Sadie to laugh. "Oh Anubis, you silly dog."

Anubis smiled, 'never have I been so happy, and it's just because I'm around her' he thought, absently licking his nose to keep it moist. He was knocked from his thoughts by Sadie, "Hello, earth to dog boy?" she said, waving her hand in front of his eyes.

"Yes Sadie?" he said gently, cracking a smile at her.

Sadie beckoned him close, till they were almost touching, then she licked his nose and laughed at his surprised expression. He scowled at her, "you can be so childish at times."

Sadie smiled playfully, putting on a mock seductive tone, "but you like it don't you?"

She wrapped her pale, slender arms around his wet, furry neck.

Anubis would've blushed if he could, yet he wouldn't have hidden it from Sadie. He lay on his back and swam back slowly to the shallow end, with Sadie still hanging on round his neck. As they swam together He stared at Sadie in wonder, he had never seen someone so beautiful.

"So then, how long can you stay?" Sadie asked, this time in a tone that was more mature than Anubis was used to from her.

"Your dad, err, Osiris... one of them anyway; said up to a year."

Sadie's eyes widened with joy, "Really?"

"Yes" He said, smiling at the thought of spending a year with her.

Sadie couldn't think of anything to say so instead she planted a kiss on his muzzle.

When they reached the edge of the pool they sat in the corner, the water just up to their collar bones, talking about what they'd done since they last met.

Sadie leaned in to kiss him when they were interrupted.

*cough*

Sadie and Anubis span round, splashing Bast, who had crept up on them, accidentally. Brushing the water off Bast glared at Anubis, "would you care to explain what you were doing?" the cat goddess demanded.

"We..." Anubis started

"were going to kiss before you interrupted" Sadie finished, irritated by the unwelcome interruption.

"Sadie, surely you can't mean it, with that dog!" Bast argued.

"Bast, I..I love him, and you know what I'm like with boys, I'd never say that about anyone, heck, I've never had a boyfriend until now" Sadie said firmly.

"S...Sadie" Anubis said, touched by her actions.

You love him? Bast asked, confused.

"Yes" the girl admitted, "I would do anything for him. Anyway, I think he looks hot like this."

"Ok" Bast submitted, "I just want you to be safe. I'm sorry Anubis, you just make me feel uneasy, being a dog."

"Its ok, don't worry" Anubis said, getting out of the water and helping Sadie out, brushing a strand of blue hair from her face.

Bast left the room, giving the couple some space.

Anubis went over to his changing area to get a towel. Sadie did the same, she called over to him "bring your towel over by the pool".

"Yes miss Kane" he replied, his voice teasing.

'Aww bless him, he seems so happy' Sadie thought to herself as she walked over to one of the four statues. "two chairs" she said, and with that the statue set up two loungers for her and Anubis next to the pool. Sadie put her towel onto one of the chairs. When he came over Anubis sat straight on the chair as he was already dry and back to his human form, this time in just a pair of black shorts. He stood next to Sadie as she lay on her chair, holding the towel to her, "Can I help you dry?" he said awkwardly.

Giggling, Sadie agreed, holding out her pale, slender leg to him. He knelt down and began to dry it with his towel, taking great care with the task.

He stopped when he finished her legs, unsure what to do, Looking at Sadie for direction. She simply smiled at him, "go on, I don't mind."

"Really Sadie?" he asked bashfully.

Sadie scowled at him, "look, I'll lay down so you won't see anything ok?"

"ok" he agreed, drying her backside gently, "Anubis, that feels so good" she smiled seductively.

"Sadie, are you trying to make me feel awkward?" Anubis replied as he undid her bikini top to dry her upper back.

"Then this really will make you blush" Sadie said, her tone playful as she rolled over, pulling Anubis on to her. He propped himself up on his elbows, somehow blushing even more, speechless, "S...Sadie!"

He said no more, he couldn't if he had wished to because Sadie had locked their lips together, pulling him close, wrapping her arms around his neck.

Anubis tried kissing back, Sadie opened her mouth for him to explore, he ran his tongue over her bottom lip then met her tongue. She closed her lips around his tongue and began sucking on it as they fell to the floor, Sadie on top, Anubis responding to her and letting her lead the kiss as she saw fit.

Sadie broke off the kiss, panting and sprawled out on top of Anubis, her head resting in his shoulder. Standing up, Sadie wrapped a towel round her and went to get changed. She looked over at Anubis before she did, to check he was alright, he had sat up, dazed by the sudden kiss. She blinked and rubbed her eyes to check if they were working as she saw a tail wagging furiously behind him.

"Err... Anubis" she said, pointing at his tail, unsure if she should laugh.

He looked round at his tail, "oh, that must've been your fault." he said, nonchalantly.

"And how exactly did I do that?" Sadie asked curiously.

Anubis smiled, "Well dogs use their tails to convey emotion, so it sort of appears when I feel strong emotion in human form."

"Well then dog boy, why don't you just go the full way then?" Sadie asked bluntly.

"Well its not that easy to kiss in that form" Anubis replied, as if the answer was so obvious.

"Can you change now then?" Sadie asked, her bright eyes sparkling.

"Sure" he said. 'I'm becoming more relaxed around her. Maybe this is good for me. And she is the only person ever to love me.' he thought as he changed form once again. after going behind the fall for a minute Sadie came out, hair freshly combed In her pants and bra, holding her shirt and shorts in one hand.

"Want to help with these then?" she asked holding out the clothes.

Anubis smiled, "this, I'm comfortable with." he replied as she stepped into the shorts he was now holding out for her, letting him button them up.

Picking up the black shirt he slipped it over her waiting frame.

Sadie carefully picked up his gold chain, placing it on Anubis, who

was knelt to make it easier for her.

Sadie took his hand and walked with him down the two flights of stairs and out to the back garden.
