“If wishes came true, would everything be different?” Daisy’s POV I was confined to the room in the clinic, only allowed a few minutes in the sun. I knew they tried to keep it away from me, but they couldn’t hide Jade’s screams in the middle of the night as she was whipped. Hades presence had become a constant surface of warmth I longed for, chasing it blindly. “Alaric she can’t drink alcohol yet,” Brittany hissed, snatching the bottle out of his hands. Priya snickered, enjoying the way Brittany and Alaric bickered like old couples. “A little bit of it will not kill her,” Alaric tried to convince Brittany. Brittany hissed, looking unimpressed by his antics. The look in her eyes was murderous, but Alaric looked unaffected, almost like he lived off pushing people’s buttons to their lowest. Their bickering stopped, signaling the arrival of Hades. Brittany smiled warmly at him, bowing her head down in respect in his presence. Priya on the other hand avoided his gaze, an
“Suckle on hope beneath the fragile light.”Daisy’s POV“I love you”The word hung in the air.I had said it, there was no going back now.“I don’t want you to say it back, but it only felt right to say it, I love you” I rambled.Hades looked stunned, his eyes wide as he observed my face. I want to smack his face to get a reaction other than the shocked look on his face.Hades’ lips crashed into mine, and my eyes closed, enjoying the feel of his lips on mine. I could feel Hades pour out his emotions into the kiss, and I welcomed him with a open heart.Hades pulled away slowly, pecking my lips before he pulled away. I could see emotions dancing in his eyes, he was fighting demons he wasn’t ready to admit, and I was okay with just being around him.I was ready to love us just enough for the both of us. Somewhere between the times I laid groaning in pain, I found my epiphany, even if I died a million times, I would still come back to him, loving him.My mother was right, I want truly rea
“hung my head as I lost the war.”Daisy’s POVPriya had a permanent scowl on her face. I knew she was a ticking time bomb and she was going to detonate at any moment.“I can’t do this,” Priya hissed, locking the door behind her.Brittany had a warning look on her face, it was as if they had had this conversation a couple of times.“I won’t be able to deal with it if I don’t talk about it, Britt,” Priya hissed, her voice filled with frustration.“Daisy do you think you are up for it,?” Brittany asked, smiling gently at me.I nodded, it was no use delaying the inevitable, I was ready to have the conversation that had been hanging around us like rocks, weighing us down.“okay,” I whispered, lifting myself to a better position.Priya sat in front of me, biting her lips as she thought of the possible way to say what was on her mind.“you gave up?” Priya said, the accusation in her tone couldn’t be countered.“you just accepted it, you barely put up a fight,” she uttered, her eyes wide in d
“there’s something hypnotic with the way you move. I’m dazed,”Daisy’s POVI am convinced Hades was brought to this world to punish me. My eyes trailed hungrily down his body, following the streak of water that rolled down his toned torso and disappearing into the towel wrapped around his waist.Hades had requested that moved back to my room, and he by proxy had become my roommate.Somewhere along the lines of healing Hades had decided that teasing me was completely perfect for my tender heart.My eyes met with his in the mirror, and he smirked, “I can smell your arousal from a mile away,” he whispered in a husky voice.My thighs clenched, the deep vibration from his voice had resonated in my core, causing my clit to throb with longing.Hades’ eyes darkened, “daisy,” he growled in warning.It was pathetic how with just a whisper of my name from his lips and I was weak like a puddle.I was certain the bed was soaked, and I tried pressing my thighs together hoping to relieve the throbbi
“the gleam in your eyes, the all so familiar mischief.”Daisy’s POVThings were slowly going back to the usual. Usual being, Hades submerged in work, and me hiding away in the garden.“Don’t be mad,” Priya nervously muttered beside me, her fingers playing with the pebbles on the ground.“What did you do?” I asked.“Why would you think I did something?” Priya asked in a defensive tone.I released a long breath, looking up to the skies and silently praying for strength to not hurt the wolf child I called my best friend.“Because when you start your sentence with don’t be mad, it usually ends with one of us trying to rip the other off,” I said in a duh tone.Priya had me questioning my sanity, everyday with her seemed like a test, a cruel game by the goddess you see how far I could go before I lost it and strangled her.“This isn’t about me,” Priya sassed, rolling her eyes at my response.“That’s even more scary,” I muttered under my breath.“I wasn’t meant to say anything about it but X
“let’s talk about the mess.”Daisy’s POVThis is stupid.I can’t believe I had taken this route.There was an imaginary Priya on my shoulders screaming and cheering me on.I tried different poses hoping to find the one that didn’t look like I was constipated.Hades would be here pretty soon and I wasn’t even looking like someone who had the intent of seduction.An idea popped into my mind, I had been so focused on trying to do the impossible, when I could just as easily do it on my own terms.The door clicked shut and I knew that Hades had arrived. His loud steps echoed through the room filling my body with anxiety.“daisy?”I could hear the question in his voice as he searched further for me.“in here,” I shouted back, hoping he didn’t hear the slight tremor in my voice.“Why is the door locked?” he asked jiggling the good door handle.“Nothing, I’ll be done in a minute,” I called back, my hands shaking as I pushed a stubborn hair strand down.“there’s a chair in the middle of the r
“this is how it works, now all he thinks about is me.” Daisy’s POV I had learned a lesson. My body ached in all the right places after the long night I had with Hades. Hades had a sly grin on his face as his fingers rubbed the low curve in my back. “You knew those binds wouldn’t hold you,” I said, my voice rasp from the screaming I had done. “I didn’t want to take away your fun,” he muttered, placing a gentle kiss on my lips. I sighed into the kiss, enjoying the feel of his lips against mine. “I love you,” I whispered against his lips. Hades growled, deepening the kiss. I wasn’t expecting him to say it back, but I was happy just telling him how I felt. Hades pulled away, his eyes staring at me in seriousness, “did you feel like you had to use your body to convince me?” he asked, worry swirling in his eyes. “No,” I whispered, shaking my head instantly. “it was a guilty pleasure, after I let Priya get into my head,” I replied. Hades had a sly grin as I told him
“This is fun, but my eyes are burning red.”Daisy’s POVI made a mistake.The way Priya and Brittany were rolling on the floor reminded me of how much of a wrong idea it has been to tell them of what had happened between Hades and I.“Let me get this straight, he got the sex and still pulled a trick on you,” Priya repeated, cracking up like she hadn’t been laughing for the past twenty minutes.Brittany had tears rolling down her cheeks from how loud she had been laughing.“I took your advice,” I whined, looking frustrated at how loud they were laughing.Eyes turned to us each time people walked by, confusion written on their faces as they noticed my two jack asses I called friends rolling on the floor in laughter.“Yes, but I remember saying, set your terms clear, have the man eating from the palm of your hand,” Priya chuckled again.I rolled my eyes, stomping my feet in anger and turned away from them. It was of no use coming to them for advice when all they did was laugh at me.“wai
