close as I could come to the kind of life my father denied me because I was female. It was all I ever dreamed of. Now I’m a god’s wife.” Rayan shook her head. “I can’t help but wonder what would have happened if my betrothed had lived. You still would have asked me to give myself to Vashon. I don’t know if Faram would have allowed it or not. We did not discuss his beliefs.”
    “I believe the gods’ hands were on your life and your betrothed’s. All that happened to you brought you here to this village still a virgin, with no ties to a man.”
    “You believe the gods took Faram’s life?”
    “I believed the gods gave him something better in return for you. He was not destined to be your husband. Just as your betrothed was not destined to be your lover. Vashon was.”
    “But…”
    “I believe your betrothed has been amply rewarded for the part he played in bringing you to us. Just as Vashon has rewarded you for honoring him. He has given you his child. A god’s child. The land will be fruitful. The villagers will be fruitful.” Exultation filled Elida’s eyes. “The prophecy has been fulfilled.”
    “Seed of a stone god?”
    “Was he a stone god?” the priestess asked, her eyes alight.
    Rayan remembered the marble cock, so hard and unyielding. But the hands on her shoulders were flesh, the eyes alive with life, the body under her hands warm, his seed wet. The only thing hard about him was his cock.
    “No, he was not stone,” Rayan said.
    “Sleep. You will be with your lover again tonight.” The priestess covered her with a light blanket and left the room.
    “Vashon,” Rayan murmured. She felt his presence fill her heart. She ached for the reality of him.
    A shadow fell over her. She looked up. Golden eyes gleamed with possessive light. The rest of him remained in darkness. She opened her arms for Vashon once more. He smiled at her but remained where he was. Again she sensed his happiness. You are mine and I am glad. Her heart swelled with love for him.
    Intuitively, she knew in three months of loving he would be made fully flesh, after the land and the people were healed. She had lost nothing through her small sacrifice, and gained everything in the sanctuary of his arms.
    In three months Vashon would claim her with a corporeal body, with his hard cock, and they would move together, both of them, forging their bodies into one in a world where gods walked once more with the men and women who loved them.
