The chair screeched as Jedrick stood up to his feet with a feral look on his face.
"Boyfriend?" he clenched out the word with malice. Arsenio remained unaffected by his outrage; instead, he just smirked in his direction and tucked his hands into his pockets.
"Yup but we both haven't discussed it yet after our first kis…oomph! Hey!" I stomped on his feet and shut his mouth by interrupting his sentence with a death glare.
"Ahaha…he is just bluffing, just don't mind him, Jedrick," I told him as I laughed it off awkwardly. Before Jedrick could lash out at us, the waitress arrived with our meal. Jedrick composed himself with an intake of a deep breath. As I was about to sit beside Arsenio, Jedrick grabbed my arm and pulled the chair beside his for me to sit.
I gave him a baffled look but he only glared at me as if I was a brat. I instantly looked away from his intimidating eyes and took a seat near the window sill and Jedrick placed himself besid
"Then, do you love me?" he asked me without batting an eyelash. My heart skipped a beat at his question. I liked him as a person but deep down I knew that I don't love him. I didn't say anything for a while, I just looked down at my feet with my slumped shoulders. I heard him heave a sigh, "It is okay Adeline, I can understand. You don't have to reciprocate my feelings." His voice sounded poignant. I lifted my head and took a glimpse at his face with a culpable expression. "Hey! Don't look so down, Now, I can date other girls of this realm. That red one looks hot, don't you think?" He cheered me up and winked at a tall blonde with a figure-hugging red dress who walked by us. She gave him a lingering look as she passed by us. I hit his arm playfully which made him chuckle at my red face. "Come on, let's get going. We don't want to anger your man, now, do we?" he teased me. I blushed at his words as he wrapped his arm around my shoulders and we
The door closed behind him on its own as soon as he entered the bedroom. He placed me gently on the bed and gave me a heated look, which made me shiver with anticipation. He started to undo his dress shirt while maintaining eye contact with me. I gulped at the sinful sight in front of me, slowly his marble-like skin started to peek out of the undone buttons."H-Hades…" I whispered his name with a stutter. I had no idea whether I was protesting against his actions or calling him to devour me. I tried to sit straighter from my lying position but he discarded his shirt as swift as the wind and in a blink of an eye he was hovering above me.His hard chest was pressed against my soft feminine one. He intertwined his hands with mine and forced them flat against the bed. I was caged under him and he was burning hot as if he had a fever.All of a sudden, my mouth felt dry as a Sahara, so I licked my lips to moisturize them. The action drew his attention from my e
Arsenio's POV~ Kingdom of Lympia, 1200 BC This day hadn't started yet, but I loathed it already. My father, the king of Lympia, wanted me to settle down with one woman. The problem was, I adore the female population. How could I disregard them just for one female? I'm Arsenio Tadeas Dimitri Dwight, the god of affection and attraction. The future king of Lympia. No one could resist me, and my charms. I was the only immortal among my people. Many people worshipped me as a demigod because I was a blessing from the god of love, Eros himself. My parents, king Dwight and queen Dahlia were so much in love with each other when they were young. But unfortunately, my father couldn't produce a child for the kingdom and my mother refused to take another man into her life because they both were so much in love with each other. They prayed and made many sacrifices to the god of love and he blessed them with me. I wa
It was down to her waist but I was not sure because she was lying flat on the floor and I was on top of her. Her soft slender hand gripped my forearm, my muscles rippled at her contact.She was more beautiful than the description of Aphrodite and Psyche. She parted her soft luscious lips when my sculpted chest shifted against her soft feminine front. I smirked at her.Fuck! I want to have her. I want to feel the taste of those plum little petals which were her lips.She must have been sculpted by those heavenly beings themself to possess this beautiful art that was her face.My smirk must awaken her from her trance because she let out an earth-splattering scream and I immediately muffled her voice with my rough yet smooth hand. I was startled by her sudden response.She thrashed and squirmed under me which made me hard as a rock."Stop moving!" I ordered her but she didn't give a damn about me and kept on squirming under me.I didn't
And it looked polished. There was a big, flat, black box in her sitting room.I stormed out of her home without a word and noticed that there were similar homes in this building and I descended the stairs and looked around my surrounding.There were tall buildings and some buildings made up of glasses and a woman was talking on a big flat screen that hung on that building.Oh, God! What was this place?I narrowed around my weird surrounding in bewilderment.The temperature was cold unlike Lympia and I was dripping wet and shirtless was not helping me either. I think the needle the oracle used to poke me had something to do with my inability to use my powers here.I spread my mighty wings and took off a flight. My wings were a part of my body; it was like an organ, so no one could control my wings. I was starving but I could hold on to my hunger it was not a big deal.When there was a war between Lympia and Rinosa, I and my soldiers fo
Adeline's POV~He was moving from one foot to another and rubbing the back of his neck in awkwardness."Um… you're staring at me," he pointed out."Pardon?" I blinked once, twice and I came back to my reality. I was zoning out since I saw that news, maybe it was someone else with a similar physique as Arsenios'."You're staring. I asked you if you have anything to eat." He scrutinized his gaze at me like he was dealing with a toddler who couldn't understand his words."Sorry, I do have some leftover spaghetti from last night. I'll heat it for you." I told him and made my way to the kitchen. I took the spaghetti from the fridge and put it in the oven and set the timer."You look so dazed." He declared, "Is something bothering you?" he frowned."Nope!" I told him by popping the 'P'"Let's talk about you, who are you?" I asked him, cutting the chase for which he raised his eyebrows at me."I told you
Arsenio's pov~ Was that a paper? These people were so weird we use copper, silver, and gold to buy something but here they use paper. I carried all her bags as she was so jumpy. "Relax! You look so anxious" I tried to calm her. As we tried to make our way out of the building a voice stopped us. "Adeline! Is that you?" "Fuck!" she cursed under her breath. We both turned around to face the same guy as she pointed at the aisle as her ex-lover. "Yes, I am!" she turned around and stood straight in front of him. She tried to look confident but I could see that she was shivering. "What are you doing here?" he asked her while eyeing me like I was a threat. "Grocery shopping, duh!" she answered him with a sass, he clenched his jaw at her answer. "Who is this guy?" he grunted. "That's none of your business," she snapped and motioned me to walk with her, we tried to get away from him. The keyword was tried
"Now, stop being indolent and help me set the table," I ordered him playfully. "Yes, your majesty." He gave me a mock salute and followed me into the kitchen. We set the table on our terrace and had our lunch there. "Damn! It's good." He grunted with approval after taking a bite of the pizza. "I told you so," I chirped. He was savoring the pizza like anything. He was already on his fifth slice, I was nibbling at my third slice while gawking at him in disbelief. "What?" he raised his eyebrows at my inquisitive eyes. "Nothing," I remarked and looked away. It was a bit chilly but pleasant. The way the wind caresses my hair and cheeks gives me a serene feeling. A phone call broke me from my little bubble. I checked the caller's id to see my senior journalist's number flashing. I took the call and cleared my throat. "Mr. Graham," "Ms. Sandros, there is a rumor about Jedrick, he is here for a month for his upcoming pr

After our little chat, Cerberus transformed into his real form. Oh boy! I thought that he was so big and intimidating when I first met him, but he was thousand times much bigger and scarier now. He had the body of a single dog but he had three heads. He looked exactly the same way how he was described in mythologies. His eyes were yellow and snake-like. His fur was dark as the midnight sky; it was such a contrast to his eyes. His teeth were literally the size of me, it was sharp and dripping with saliva. He gave me an adorable frown as if he didn't want to part away from me. I smiled at this big baby, and he bent his head to my height. I petted his snout. "Let's go, Adeline," Jedrick told me from my behind. I could feel his heat radiates off him. he was always very warm. I could feel him even without touching or seeing him. I always had this feeling of being protected whenever I was with Jedrick even when I thought he was a mafia boss. Cerberus whined
“Jedrick?” I called him softly. His face was only a few inches away from mine and my arms were wrapped around his neck. I could hear the crunching of leaves beneath his boots as he walked with me in his arms. He raised his eyebrows at me. “What? You are not my boss anymore,” I shrugged with an innocent look. I could see his lips slightly twitch at the corners, and he shook his head at me with a serene look. “Can I ask you a question?” I asked him. “Do I even have a choice?” I thought about his question for a second and grinned at him toothily. “Definitely not,” I replied him enthusiastically. His eyes were shining with laughter. “What is your age?” My question made him pause in his tracks. He looked down at me with an unreadable expression. I looked up at him with my big gooey eyes.
He looked at me with a funny look as if he was laughing internally at my horrifying expression. Wait a minute? Was he lying to me? His face didn’t give away anything but there was a possibility of that. I scrutinized my eyes on his face and saw him biting his lip. “You are lying, aren’t you?” I asked him with my evil eyes. As soon as I asked this, he burst out laughing, and it was the most beautiful sound that I had ever heard. “Nope, I am telling you the truth. You should have heard of what you were saying last night. You were moaning my name, and you completely took advantage of this poor soul.” He told me with an innocent look. I could say that he was lying from the way he was looking at me. I frowned at him and smacked his head with a pillow. “You are lying!” I yelled at him and kept on smacking him. He burst out laughing and he didn’t look like he was bothered by my pillow fight. “You should have seen your face. You looked mortified as if
His eyes looked unyielding. It took me a second to process what he was saying. When I realized what he was implying, my eyes widened like a saucer. I shook my head at him in disbelieve and I was speechless. This was absurd. "You are impossible. I am resigning my job and I am leaving this place tomorrow on the first flight to Seattle." I told him angrily. "And you mister! Open this damn door this instant!" I ordered him and gave him the stink eyes. He looked at me with laughter in his eyes which made me to scrutinize my gaze on the twitching of his lips as if he was trying hard to hold in his laughter. He took long strides and stood in front of me. I stood my ground with a firm face. He bent down to my height by placing his palms on his knees. I leaned my head back at his proximity. He observed my face with his dark eyes. There was a lopsided grin on his face which made him look all smug but at the same time, it made him look like a Greek god, oh look
Adeline’s pov~ I had no idea what was going on in my life anymore. I couldn’t believe that I was standing in front of the Greek god and that too, one of my favorite characters from Greek mythology. The moment I saw Arsenio with his wings was the moment I started to believe in mythology. But even then I didn’t believe in the concept of god. I was not the most spiritual person on this planet. The moment my parents died, I lost my faith in a higher power and that was the moment I turned into an atheist. I became so angry with higher powers when I felt lonely and abandoned and my grandmother’s death was a cherry on the top. Though I understood that she died of old age, I felt like everyone abandoned me. My whole view on spirituality and the concept of god had changed today. I was awe-stricken when he opened the door with the snap of his fingers. All these times I thought that Jedrick was a mafia boss but in reality, he was only punishi
“Hades! Don’t hurt her! Open the door, you have to see this!” Helena’s voice came behind the door. Adeline adjusted her clothes at the sound of Helena. She looked disheveled as if she had rough sex with me and the thought alone made me to swallow. I was having this sinful image of her in my mind and only my father could help me. I focused on Helena’s words and frowned in her direction. I snapped my fingers together. The door opened and there stood my grim reapers aka devils. Helena sauntered inside my room, followed by Grudgecous, Skull, and Victor. Adeline looked startled by their sudden intrusion and by my ability to use magic. Since she knew that I was a god there was nothing to hide from her. She moved a little closer to me, beside my bed, as soon as she saw them approaching us. Helena was holding a document in her hand and she looked tensed and worried, even Victor looked tensed. He was the most playful grim reaper among them but he the most dangerous wh
