After a good 15 minutes, I had finally got myself into the large dress he had laid out.Although it was beautiful, it made me feel as if I was the queen of the underworld and that wasn't exactly the title I was looking for.None the less, it would hopefully help keep him distracted.Lining my lips with the dark red lipstick he left out, I took one last look in the small mirror before stepping out and making my way towards the long table he currently was sitting at."You look even more beautiful than I expected. Come sit next to me." he states standing up with a smile as he took me in with his eyes."Thank you." I smiled accepting his hand and letting me guide me to the chair.He sat back down next to me before pouring us both a glass of what looked like red wine."Let's toast, to a new beginning." he states raising his glass.Raising my glass, I toasted with him, making sure to put my best acting skills forth.Taking a sip of the drink, to my surprise it tasted amazing, in fact the sw
I woke up well rested but also disappointed.The one time I wanted a dream with a God was the one night I didn't.Letting out a small sigh, I got out of the bed and took an outfit from the closet that to my surprise was fully loaded with clothing in my size before showering and getting dressed for the day.I cautiously left my room, venturing through the halls and stairways, making sure to memorize them all while also looking for an exit.Pushing through the largest, heaviest of doors I had stepped outside to utter darkness. The only light came from flames surrounding the outside of the doors.A small path, nearly impossible to notice, lead away from the building and I began to follow it before it brought me to a platform that surrounding it was 5 different rivers, each separated by thin barriers and each looking much different than the other."Trying to run away, already are we?" A deep voice stated from behind me.I whipped around, immediately tripping over my own feet and nearly fa
I stood under the freezing cool water, wishing away the heat that had flared up once more. After spending a full hour trying to get myself off, I finally gave up and accepted my fate.If I had to fuck Hades to get this over with then so be it because truthfully... I was scared to find out what would happen if I didn't and I didn't know when I would see my friends again.Until Aphrodite reached out into my dreams again or until I got to her, I was going to have to do what I had to get through this and finding out Hades plan and escaping here would nearly impossible if this continued.Letting out a sigh, I stepped out of the water and instantly regretted it.The underworld was unnaturally hot, and it felt like a hot summer day every single moment.Combine that with my internal temperature.I felt like I was being roasted to death and if I wasn't immortal, I would believe it.I quickly pulled on the lightest outfit I could find and just in time as I heard a knock on my door."Coming!" I
After a few hours of making my way around the room and going along with the party, I retreated to my room for the night feeling more confused and defeated than ever.Not a single person had cooled me, all of them as hot as Hades.I plopped on my bed, completely bare as tears streamed down my warm cheeks.My body burned painfully, the temperature burning me from the inside out and with nothing for even the slightest relief, all I could do was take it.I tried one last time, playing with myself as I envisioned my times with Crimson and Beau but in the end, I simply curled into a ball and cried until I could cry no more and darkness wasn't long pulling me into a restless sleep.************************************************Temptress....Temptress?"Temptress, wake up!"I woke with a gasp as two cold hands pressed against my burning my body and as my eyes flew open, I frowned."Damien?" I questioned."Who else?" he replied rolling his eyes.I smiled and without another thought I stood
"You need to get out of here." I state as soon as I open the bathroom door."I thought of a plan... neither of us are going to like this but hear me out." he states in return."Just wait." I say with a sigh.I shut the bathroom door and place a towel by the crack under it before turning the shower on at full force."What is it?" I ask."I don't think you needed to do all that, these walls are much more soundproof than you realize." he states and I roll my eyes."I could be tested at any time and who knows what he could hear. I don't want to take any risks." I say and he smirks."How do you know I'm not a test?" he asks intrigued."Because you're cold, no one could have planned that. So, what's your brilliant plan that we will both dislike?" I reply and he smirks."I'm going to help you. I'll help take care of your current state, then I'll go get Levi to return to the others and I will stay here with you. Once you have the information you need, we leave." he states, and my eyes widen i
Damien was shockingly kind enough to clean me up and help dress me into some light pjs before carrying my tired exhausted body back out to the bed where he tucked my now chilled body in before placing the gentlest of kisses on top of my head."Just so you know... You're welcome to fuck me like that anytime you want." I murmured giving a tired smirk as my eyelids felt heavy."Be careful, Temptress. I'll be back soon, get some rest." He simply replied before going behind the large curtains and all I heard was the sound of a door opening and shutting before dozing off to sleep.************************************"Mila... don't do it. Don't listen to such a monster. Let me go and I'll protect you." Zeus's voice pleaded.I stood in a large luxurious old-style bedroom, Zeus was securely shackled to his bed and I was within arm's reach of his most prized possession."He's treated me quite well for a monster. I think the part of him you speak of is the part you helped create. You see, Hades
"Damien?" I called out quietly as I looked around the room.I frowned as I realized he wasn't here.Going over to the same curtains he had left out of, I pulled them open to see a glass door.Opening it though I quickly realized it led to nothing. I looked down seeing the depths of darkness and let out a sigh before walking back over to the bed, leaving the door open.I definitely had to get out of here before this ceremony. There was absolutely no way I could go through with this.I knew his plan now and there was no need to stick around a second longer but with Damien now nowhere to be found, how would I leave?I had no idea how to make my wings pop out, let alone use them. I didn't know which river would take me back and that was if I could even there without getting caught which would extremely difficult considering there was always someone outside my door prowling the hall.I got up and began pacing the room and didn't stop until I was completely exhausted.Retreating to the bed,
"So...ah... what now?" I mumbled as I sat down on a surprisingly smooth large rock near the water."I'm going to go let Salem and Lucien know where we are and get some supplies. In the meantime, you can learn to use your wings and get some fruits picked." Levi states and I raise my brows."I have not even the slightest clue on how to even get these wings to come out!" I hiss making him chuckle."Figure out... I'll give a hint though. Climb a tree and jump, instinct should trigger them to come out automatically." he replies, and I nod my head."Thanks..." I say."Be cautious, we still don't know they found her last time, they could be watching one of us and the last thing we need is them following you back." Damien states cutting in."I know, I'm going to wait till night then I'll get Lucien and tell Salem to leave after, so we don't draw attention. We won't bring Crimson or Beau or tell them where we are. The less who know right now the better." Levi replies and Damien nods in agreeme
Today marked 375 years since the day I died and started my new adventurous life. You would think after this many years, I would feel tired, bored, stuck, but no. Never aging and having an endless amount of time has felt nothing less than amazing. Even after this many years, I still feel like I haven't had enough time in the world to enjoy my 6 amazing lovers, but thankfully I don't have to worry about running out.375 years has brought me many memories and experiences and I've been on more journeys then I can count, but I feel it's just helped prepare me for this very moment."Mila, darling... are you still with me?" Hera's voice rings through the air, snapping me out of my thoughts."Yes, sorry... this is a big moment for me." I murmur softly and she smiles."What is it I can help you with, darling? Don't be shy, you know after all you did to help me and support me through the war and even after as I settled into my new role as Ruler of all us gods and godesses that I will help you h
We all stood in a large circle with Crimson in the middle with a small table which only held a small bowl and a small uniquely designed dagger. One by one, starting with herself, Crimson sliced the hands of each of my lovers and I stood and watched as their blood dripped into the bowl. As Damian finished, Crimson stirred their blood around in the bowl with the dagger, chanting as she went. She proceeded to soak the blade in their now mixed blood before she stepped towards me with the bowl in her hand."I'm sorry, Kitten... but this is going to hurt." she tells me softly as I feel strong hands wrap around me from behind.Just as I recognize Damian's embrace, Crimson quickly but steadily plunges the dagger straight into my heart. Immediate pain radiates throughout my body before a burning sensation quickly replaces it and everything goes black.********************************************************************A soft melody flows through the warm air and as my eyes adjust to the brig
"Okay, Princess, what's on your mind?" Beau questioned, pulling me from my dazed state."Who said anything was on my mind?" I retorted playfully."Well, staring at the same tree for about 5 minutes is a dead give away." he replied as he sat down on the grass next to me."You've been watching me for 5 minutes? That's a bit creepy, Beau." I joke giving his arm a playfully punch and he simply shrugs his shoulders."You looked so beautiful even in your dazed state, plus I wanted to see how long it would take for you to notice I was there, but you were taking too long." he replies, and I blush."So, what's bugging you?" he asks, and I let out a small sigh."You ever get tired of making big decisions?" I ask and he chuckles softly."I think we all do after a certain point." he replies, and I nod my head."I'm conflicted about the bonding ritual Crimson wants to do with you all." I tell him truthfully."Well, maybe if you explain to me how you feel about it and what your conflicted about, I
When I arrived in Lucien's room, I made sure this time to not even give him an opportunity to say a word. If something else had suddenly popped up, it was going to wait as far as I was concerned.Straddling his lap, I quickly removed his shirt before smashing my lips against his and kissing him deeply.My hands roamed his muscular- toned chest as his hands laced themselves into my hair, holding me close as his tongue left his warm mouth and entered mine.As his mouth explored mine, I trailed my hands down to his jeans and began unbuttoning and unzipping them.Giving him one last kiss, I pulled away and climbed off his lap and he quickly followed suit and removed the last of his clothing before reaching out and helping me out of mine, leaving wet kisses all over my body as he did so.Before he could try and indulge himself though, I pulled him back up towards me before pushing him back down towards the bed.I got on my knees in front of his legs and ran my hands up his firm thighs befo
"Alright, Luce, I'm all yours." I announce as I walk into Lucien's bedroom.I had finished up my time with Salem and Levi and after a small nap and shower, I was finally back in Lucien's presence which is where I knew I needed to be most for both of our sakes... but more importantly, his."Unfortunately, not quite yet." his clearly displeased tone responds.Standing up from the bed, he steps towards me and pulls me into a tight embrace before quickly letting me go."Crimson needs to talk to you about something important and as much as I want her to have to wait, I do have to agree with her that the topic is important and it is for that reason only that I am going to sit back down and wait another hour... an hour and a half at most for you to go and hear what she has to say but after that come hell or high water your mine for a full, undisturbed, 24 hours. You got that?" he tells me, and I nod my head before leaning up to pull him into a deep kiss."I love you, Luce and I'm going to sh
After being bombarded with hugs, kisses and covered in tears of relief and happiness, myself and the rest of the group successfully left the Underworld without any further issues.Deciding it was best that myself, Hera and Aphrodite all stayed together until we took care of Zeus, Hera was kind enough to invite us all back to a hidden safe house where she believed we would all be safe and unfound by Zeus.The safe house as I had come to learn was more like a mini palace and apparently was completely covered with a cloak that kept us hidden from anyone else, all gods included. Hera wouldn't say who had helped her create such a large piece, but she assured us we had no reason to worry.Although extremely reluctant to let me go, I managed to convince Lucien that some time with Salem and Levi would be best for me to help get over the heat I had been dealing with for much too long. I knew most of the others were a bit bothered that I hadn't chosen one of them to help me first but the fact o
I was definitely losing my mind.We had finally arrived to where we needed to be and were currently waiting for Mr. Ferryman to arrive.My vision was so blurred I wasn't sure I was seeing anything clearly, so when the dark large shadow of a man on a boat came near, I thought to myself that this was it.The moment we had been waiting for.Until I seen not one... but two familiar faces.Like a bucket of cold water being poured ontop of me... I instantly realized I was truly losing my mind."That was easy." Damien's familiar voice was speaking."Extremely..." Levi's voice replied.My imagination was so vivid... it was hard for me to focus on the fact that it wasn't real.Every inch of me wanted to run and drop into their arms... but I did my best to try and keep myself rational."Aphrodite..." my dry voice cracks as I try to get the Goddess of love's attention."It's going to be okay, Mila. Even in the depths of Tartarus, your love prevails." she tells me, making me scrunch my eyebrows i
~Lucien's P.O.V~With every moment, I was growing more and more frustrated. The stress, anger and worry that was a never-ending wave crashing throughout my body was beginning to drive me mad. I knew how important it was to remain calm, cool and collected, it was the only way to ensure I was thinking clearly but no matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't get to that state anymore. My personal feelings for Mila were just too strong for the perfectly trained mind of the guardian in me. I could only rely on my senses and Beau's mind to help with my rationality."Where could she be? I don't understand." I growl out in frustration as I slam my fist into the hard wall next to me."We have checked almost every inch of the Underworld... we know she isn't with Hades, and we know she isn't in any of his prisons or torture chambers... it only leaves one place." Beau replies coolly but I shake my head."That doesn't make sense! Why would he send her to Tartarus? That completely goes against anyth
~Mila's P.O.V~I knew too much time had passed from the moment I began to feel my heat begin to set in... I knew things really weren't looking good for me when it only continued to worsen, but it wasn't until I was doubled over in extra pain and beginning to hallucinate that I knew I had to try to do something before I completely lost myself to the madness it was causing me both mentally and physically."H-h-hera." I struggled to call out."Yes?" her voice from close by replies."I think we have both waited here long enough... I don't think anyone's coming... and if they are... looks like it may take a bit..." I begin to say."Perhaps your right..." she replies distastefully."I think... we should... get out... together." I tell her making her chuckle slightly."In your condition? I don't see us getting far..." she mutters, and I let out a small sigh."Maybe... but I would rather give everything I have trying then continuing to waste away here... and it's not like we can die. Not sure
