60-Athena and her Terry

Athena’s POV

“So why Athena and Zeus?” Terry asks as we eat ice cream walking around downtown Seattle.

“My parents have a thing about Greek Mythology. I mean, they are named Hades and Persephone. I guess naming me after the goddess of war and my twin after the king of the gods was their way of reminding everyone and us just who we are,” I lean into him, and he actually puts an arm around my shoulders.

“And who is that exactly?” He teases, whispering in my ear.

“Zeus will be King Consort and I will be the mate of the Second in Command of all Beasts,” I smile up at him.

“Oh really, well, congratulations,” he takes a bite from my ice cream cone.

“Hey, that was mine,” I protest.

“Get used to it. I’m going to do that for the rest of your life,” he smiles at me, and we stop in the middle of the sidewalk, staring at each other. He cups my face with one hand and tosses his ice cream in a bin, before pulling me close.

It was so easy, I could have just kissed him, I mean, he is leaning in.
