================================================
The side door was, as I hoped, unguarded. We slipped through and made our way across a maze of corridors and service exits, until we hit the right door and found ourselves in the main museum hall. It was dark, only faintly lit by emergency lights and the city lights shining through the high windows.
"Are you sure there are no guards?" Danielle asked in an uncertain voice.
"Pretty sure," I said, trying to sound confident, the whole thing was indeed too good to be true. "No security cameras either."
"Really?" she asked with disbelief as we started to stroll between the massive stone relics.
"They never installed them before the reunification, or so I was told."
She sniggered, "though spying on people was really what the GDR was good at."
"Yeah", I laughed quietly, "pretty ironic."
Our footsteps echoed in the empty halls, making a much louder sound than we wished for. Danielle asked me to wait as she unclipped her stilettos, stepped out of them, picked them up, straightened her silken grey dress, and carried them in her hand; all this effortlessly while holding the champagne glass in her other hand. This girl was all legs, tall and thin all the way to the top. She smiled at me when she saw how I looked at her.
"So how did you learn about this?" she asked.
"Well," I said, as I was undoing my black tie; "there is a Russian archaeologist in the institute where I work, and he's a member of one of the museum's committees or something. Apparently he's done this before. So when I told him I had to attend a late evening reception here he spilled the goods."
We snuck out of the reception just as the speeches started in full. Even after a year in Berlin my German wasn't good enough to stand long honorary thank-you speeches from some federal or regional Kulturminister or whoever the guy was. Still, a reception like this in the museum was probably considered a high honour. Danielle just came on my ticket, moving to Berlin from the U.S., she was looking for a new direction in her life, or so she claimed.
"Have you been here before?" I asked as we strolled between the Mesopotamian steles.
"A few months ago, with my German class."
"That's the Ishtar Gate we are coming to," I pointed ahead with my champagne glass, "the entrance to Babylon."
The lions and dragons decorating the gate looked down on us menacingly as we strolled in. No other tourists around, only us.
"We are entering Babylon by night" I said.
"And illegally."
"Come here," I pulled her close as we were under the main arch. I kissed her hard, tasting the drink on her lips. Her thin body curved towards me as I passed my fingers in her silky hair. We stood like this, embraced, before passing to the next hall.
"I can't remember what this place is." She said, looking at the carved columns.
"Hmm, I'm not sure. A temple for Apollo maybe?"
It was too dark to read the signs or panels, so we continued to the most famous exhibit: the Pergamon Altar.
The big hall felt strange in the near darkness and utter silence. The marble stairs, reflecting some light, gave the place an eerie feeling, like a ruin or cemetery. We could, after a long time, hear distance echoes from the reception. It felt like we were tripping in a forest somewhere, having wandered off from some rave party; nothing was fully real. We walked around holding hands, like kids in a rather fancy but empty fair ground. The marble figures, forever frozen, paid no more attention to the both of us as they did to the thousands of daily visitors. They were still trying to complete whatever it was they were doing for almost two thousand years.
Having finished our tour, we went and sat on the main stairs, absorbing the atmosphere. I took off my dinner jacket and leaned, one elbow on the stairs, caressing her arm. Danielle smiled and sipped some champagne.
"It's pretty amazing." She said.
"I know, I can't believe we managed to make it."
She leaned down towards me and we kissed again. I pulled her down until she was lying on the stairs and worked my tongue in her month; Danielle pulled the hair on the back of my head and bit my tongue.
"This is naughty." she whispered.
"It's going to get a lot naughtier." I whispered back as I slid a hand under her dress, caressing her thigh.
"Ohhh," she murmured, "that's very exciting."
My hand caressed her stockings, up and up, until I reached bare flesh. I could feel her shuddering as I started to stroke her upper thigh. I felt around with the tip of my fingers under her dress until I could feel her underwear. Reaching as far as I could, my fingers started drawing small circles, feeling the softness of her mound through the cloth. She exhaled.
"Do you want me to stop?" I whispered in a provocative tone.
She shook her head for "no" and bit her lips. In the distance, we could hear remote handclaps.
Pulling her dress up a bit, I was able to place my hand on her laced panties and rub them gently. They felt moist and hot. Danielle leaned backward, fully lying on the stairs and fixed her gaze on the tall ceiling.
"Lift your dress a bit." I told her.
She pulled the dress up some centimetres, showing a bit more thigh and stockings.
"Is this better?" she looked back at me mocking.
I didn't answer at first. Instead, I slid a finger underneath her panties and started touching her pubic hairs.
"What do you think? Is it?"
She moaned very softly "ohh yes..." as my finger started exploring the outer layers of her pussy.
Without stopping my excavation under her dress, I gave her my other hand to suck on. She bit me, not hard but I had to surpass the desire to protest loudly. I saw in her eyes that she knew that. Silence was required.
With her eyes fixed on mine, she arched her back and hoisted her dress further up to her hips. Her legs were now fully visible, black stockings up to her thighs, and shining alabaster white above. She reached down and managed to pull her underwear down to her knees, from which point I took over and slide them over her legs and ankles. I showed them to her, they were wet and warm.
"Should we leave these to the guards as a gift?" she asked.
"Hmmm, that's a thought," I said and thought about it for a second. "But I think I won these fairly." I said as I stuffed her panties in by pocket. "And we could always leave them the champagne glasses."
She grinned and spread her legs further. I crawled down some stairs and started caressing her upper thighs with both hands, then kissed them, and finally dived with my mouth to taste her beautiful cunt. Pushing her dress as high as I could, I started licking her pussy with long wet strokes. When it was nice and soaked, I started carefully munching on her mound, rubbing my teeth on her labial lips and inhaling her trimmed pubic hair. My tongue jerked around, until I found her clitoris, and when I did, starting licking it with quick short laps.
