In Part 1 we met Theresa. Theresa is a schoolteacher with long blonde hair and blue eyes from Germany. Theresa is spending her summer working on an archaeological dig when a revolution breaks out in that country and the airport is closed. She takes up an offer by the leader of a team of securitymen to try to get out of the country by the road south into the desert. The leader of the group who is twice her age protects her against marauding soldiers and keeps her warm in the cold nights when temperatures drop in the desert to near freezing. But all that seems to come with a prize. His hand dwelled all over her body and she was climaxing in his arms
As all of the characters in this story are non-native English speakers (like me) you might be warned for unusual English :)

To Theresa it felled like she had just dozed off when she and Vasili were rudely awakened by Pavel. "Cars. Many cars coming. Hide behind the next sand-dune." said Vasili and she saw in shock the men grab their guns and get into position hiding behind the rock that sheltered their campside from view when someone would look their way on the road.
The sound of many engines came nearer. She felt her heart race in her throat lying face down in hiding behind the next ridge of sand. Searchlights swept through the night. The night was full of noises. Cars, trucks, motorbikes it seemed. Then the vehicles had passed. After awhile she heard Vasili saying her name nearby and she saw him standing near holding a large rifle. She got back to her feet.
"Many cars poppet. A whole caravan. Must be the elite of the country or even the rulers trying to get out the way we do. Come back to bed."
She let him put her in the bed as if she was a toddler. "What are we going to do now?" she asked.
"We cannot let them hear our engines. But we will watch the road. They might clear out roadblocks laying ahead of us. We will hear or see the fighting maybe when that happens near enough. But we have to wait in case they have people chasing them who want a piece of them."
He pulled the sleeping bag over her shoulders and stood up again to join his man on watch. She fell asleep in their still warm snug bed.
When the first sunlight warmed the desert they were on the road again. Dimitri had given her hot tea and some bar for breakfast teasing "Nice Tits." he had said with a wink and a grin. What had turned her bright red and had him laughing. Somehow the teasing of the young man seemed just harmless and friendly.
It seemed like they were driving in an oven. The sun flashing in the mica in the sand making it hard to see without sunglasses. Her eyes seemed to burn in their sockets. The two motorcycles riding point and the old army truck behind them. They tried to make it to the border in one go Vasili had said. His men rotated who was driving what but after awhile all got so tired that her offer to drive the truck was accepted so one of them could sit with her in the cabin and have a quick nap. They met no-one all day long.
At the end of the afternoon they slowly rode into the oasis-town that was also the border. It was good to see some trees again. Theresa had the feeling she had been sitting in an oven all day and her back was stiff from the less then comfortable trip in the old truck. The men seemed covered in dust and their eyes looked red-rimmed and tired.
Vasili ordered the group towards a crumbling roadside hotel where he ordered some rooms for them and space to park their stuff. He also asked the staff where he could find himself a guide who would bring them over the old salt caravan route and even further to the coast.
Theresa had noticed that the town and the road in this area of the desert were enclosed by long walls of rockformations that seemed impassible. Was that not called a mesa in the States? It would be hard here to travel unnoticed and no room for detours. But on the other hand was this not already the border? Was that not safety?
Vasili was given directions to the house of someone who seemed to be the person to talk to if you needed help crossing the desert. They entered a compound where they were hushed into a semi dark room where an old man was sitting on cushions on the ground smoking a water pipe. They were offered some cushions to sit on and the traditional cup of tea as a centuries old tradition of hospitality in the desert.
Vasili explained to the gentleman they needed a guide and some local protection as he knew that he had to cross a part of a neighbour country that had a lot of religious unrest the last few years and where some were less friendly to foreigners.
The old man heard him talk and then said in broken English: "I do not like men like you. You fighting men. You come to country and make war. I do not want help people like you." She noticed Vasili's jaws clench and his eyes go squint and ice cold.
The old man motioned to where she sat in the second row. "Who is this woman? Is she yours?"
"Yes" said Vasili "And she comes with us."
"No. I am not his. I worked on an archaeological dig and could not get out of the country on time," she said with a quick glance towards Vasili who seemed to want to throttle her. "I am a schoolteacher and I was digging up a Roman villa."
"Archaeologist ehh," said the old man. "Over the border are rockpaintings over 2000 years old."
"Yes I know. Are they not in the running to get listed as UNESCO Worldheritage Site?"
The old man shook his head sadly. "Miss teacher, they were painted before Jesus and Mohammed when this here was still green savanna. But the fanatics have been scrubbing them away." He made a move as if he was cleaning a window. After a brief silence he said: "You cannot travel with those military mercenaries. The religious rebels will kill foreigners when they see your group and they will use you for their lust."
"But I...we cannot stay here" she said. "Your country is fallen into chaos too. Our only hope is try to reach black Africa south of the desert."
He nodded and turned to Vasili "You pay my men 10,000 dollar and disguise yourself as locals and they will mingle with you guys and bring you to safety."
"1000 now and the motorcycles." said Vasili. "And 4000 when we are safe and I can go to a bank."
"We have banks here too" the old man said. "5000 now, truck and those motorbikes and 1000 cash when safe in other country. You will go by camels now. Buy car when crossed desert" After some more negotiations they were told where to go and find suitable clothing. Half their group went looking for cloths and Dimitri and Pavel went to the local 'supermarket' for supplies. She found herself a nice long local dress and the traditional headscarf and veil to hide her Western heritage and blend in.
Back in the hotel she screamed of joy finding a hot shower there. While the guys were moving stuff about she tossed her stinking cloths away and dived under the hot water.
"You forgot your shampoo, soap and towel Poppet," his deep voice said from behind her back and then hands started to wash her long hair towering it on her head to soak and then soapy hands moved over her back and her shoulders down to her behind. She more or less stood frozen at first but then decided to just enjoy the luxury of someone washing her. The soapy hands moved towards her front and started to massage her breasts. Lips kissed her neck.
Dimitri shouted from the room: "Boss all your stuff is on the chair" and she heard a door close.
Hands moved down to soap her legs and lips kissed her on her inner thigh. He bent her over and started to rub a soapy hand over her velvet channel and a finger traced her asshole. Suddenly he stood up and turned her around so she was captured between his muscled body and the tiled wall. The water now splashed over him and briskly he washed himself clean of the sand and the sweat. His eyes moved all over her as this was the first time he could see her naked in daylight. He lifted her up against the wall folding her legs around him and said "Poppet still wants that baby?"
She gasped and then said on impulse "Yes." He felt so good. That strong body and the piercing blue eyes that had kept her safe and warm. She felt his shaft brush against her entrance ready for action. She tried to prepare herself for that imminent invasion.
Instead he walked her out of the bathroom into the bedroom and bent down to lay her down on the bedsheets. She got rid of the cushion so she was flat on her back with her shoulders and head on the mattress and looked up at him. He walked to the chair and picked up something and then walked over to sit himself on his knees at her feet.
He started to massage her feet, her ankles and her lower legs. One by one and laying them back on the bed spread out. Then moved himself higher in between her legs and did the same with her thighs. She noticed that his member was still massive with want.
Nervousness planted a lump in her throat and a stone in her stomach. "Vasili, I only did this once with my fiancΓ©e about 10 years ago," she suddenly confessed to that handsome stranger who was stroking her. "I do not know how this works."
He bent down over her and placed his lower arms beside her face. "What happened poppet? Do not be afraid."
Suddenly tears dropped from her eyes. "He asked me to marry him when he would come back from his trip and we made love for the first time. And then he drowned during a dive. I never found another one like him after."
