“Damnit Sarah, that isn’t much better,” Mark said turning around. “Just let me know when you are done changing so we can get on with this. Seriously, are all your panties pink?” He could not believe what had just come out of his mouth. He needed to act indifferent but he had just admitted to looking at her underwear.
Sarah smiled because Mark was paying attention.
“No, mostly, but I have other colors as well,” Sarah said as she slid on a pair of sweat pants that were also slightly too big. “What can I say? I like pink underwear.”
“Anyway, what is the deal with your name? Are you related to Roger?” Mark tried to change the subject. He didn’t want to think about Sarah that way, not right now, and talking about it made him think about it more and more. He also needed to calm down, he was getting far too aroused. His clothes were also soaking wet and skin tight, Sarah would notice.
“No, and I suppose that is as good a place as any to start,” Sarah said as she made her way to the king size bed.
The room was enormous, nearly fifty feet long and nearly as wide. There were no walls separating it into rooms, only furniture placed about the room to give the impression of sections. The king size bed was positioned directly in the middle of the room with one six inch step leading up to it.
“You can turn around. Please come sit. Why don’t you bring a couple of glasses and some wine? This is gonna be…” Sarah couldn’t quite find the right word to describe what she was about to explain so she settled. “Complicated.”
“From what I’ve seen so far, complicated doesn’t scratch the surface,” Mark replied as he diligently fetched two glasses and a bottle of wine. He handed one to Sarah, poured her a glass then got his own before setting the bottle at Sarah’s feet. Mark positioned himself at the foot of the bed, far enough away from Sarah to avoid any temptations but near enough to hear her. Mark sighed almost too loudly as he sat down. They were going to talk about his situation now and not about Sarah’s lovely body any more.
“Well for starters,” Sarah said as she sipped the wine. “Roger’s name isn’t Sandleton, he’s my employee. Well, it wasn’t Sandleton until I had him change it. His name is on everything I own with me as the beneficiary.”
“What if he decides to take off with your money one day?” Mark was honestly concerned that Sarah was putting her wealth at risk.
“Roger would never do that. I saved his wife a few years ago. He owes me big time.” Sarah smiled as she said this. She appreciated Mark’s concern, it was sweet. He had no idea what was really going on.
“Anyway, I own everything that you think Roger owns. I pay him a decent salary to walk around and pretend to be an uptight, money grubbing, billionaire. In reality, he is a really sweet guy. Kinda feel bad for him sometimes but that is what I pay him for. Now on to the big one.”
“Yes, what the hell am I?” Mark pleaded.
“Well for this you will need to have a little faith. I know you’re not a devout religious man, but you do believe in God, right?” Sarah asked just to make sure.
“Yes, I just hate organized religion,” Mark replied, matter-of-factly.
“Ok, good, that makes this easier,” Sarah sighed.
“A very long time ago, back when man was first placed on this earth by God. Adam had a wife named Lilith,” Sarah started.
“Wait what? Don’t you mean Eve?” Mark asked innocently.
“No, I mean Lilith, Adam’s first wife,” Sarah scolded. “You see many of our modern, holy texts have been modified, mostly by accident but sometimes maliciously. Not a single one of them is one hundred percent correct. Most of them get parts right if not a little skewed toward whatever religious organization translated them. If you had the time you could piece it together by studying all the current religions but I need you to understand this tonight. So, please bear with me and remember, I have never and will never lie to you.” Sarah then looked at Mark with longing in her eyes but Mark looked away quickly. He nodded so she went on.
“So Lilith was not content with a human husband. She preferred the company of the angel sent to look over them, Samael. God was furious. He cursed Lilith to die and bound Samael to earth for the rest of existence. Hence the first fallen angel. Samael was angry with his father so he took some of his blood and gave it to Lilith. She drank the angel blood but not only was she cured of God’s curse, she gained immortality. Meanwhile God gave Adam a second wife, one from his own body, so that she would always be faithful to Adam and they were happy. Most religious texts start there, they skip the part about Lilith.”
“Samael, in an effort to prove to his father that humans were inferior, made a deal with The Beast and tempted Eve to eat the forbidden fruit. I’m sure you know the rest of this story so I’ll skip that part.” Sarah was very passionate about this story and Mark couldn’t help but hang on every word she said.
“Wait, Lucifer is Satan, he tempted Eve,” Mark stated.
“That is one of the biggest mistranslations there is. Satan is the word for betrayer, adversary in the ancient languages. It’s not a title or a name. There have been many called Satan, Samael, my father, was the first.” Sarah looked at Mark caringly, he was like a child learning about the world. What she wouldn’t give to be so innocent again.
