*One Week Later*
Using the bedroom door as leverage, Adam positioned Aphrodite’s legs onto each of his forearms and bit gently into her neck. He stroked inside, feeling her wetness grow in her excitement. She dug her nails into his back, and licked her lips, before biting the side of her bottom one. “Ohh…” She moaned, before melting into another one of his passionate kisses.
“Fucck you feel so good.” He couldn’t stop, since the first time being inside of her, he wanted to explore the very map of her body.
Her loud moans coursed through the bedroom, with every deep thrust he took. Increasing the tempo, Adam murmured her name through gritted teeth, feeling himself near. The two shared a breathless kiss as Aphrodite’s lips quivered, her orgasm feeding Adam’s. He hung his head and caught his breath, his eyes glistening pure white. Aphrodite kissed his temple, and he lifted his head, and kissed her deeply. Sitting her down, he backed her against the door, and grabbed the back of her neck making her gasp in his mouth.
Releasing her, he chuckled. “We’re going to be late for training.”
She ran her hands over his chest, “Sorry, you just looked really good and I-” she grabbed his manhood and stroked it, feeling it harden again, “Can’t help-” Aphrodite dropped to her knees and took him in her mouth, hearing him groan. Pulling him out, she kissed the sides, “How much I desire you.”
Fitting as much as she could back inside, she bobbed her head back and forth. Salvia dripping from the side of her mouth, Adam retched his head back feeling the back of her throat. He locked his hands in her long blonde hair and shoved himself further inside. He guided her, and Aphrodite matched his tempo, driving him insane with the noises permeating from her mouth. Pulling him in deep, her eyes locked with his, and she swallowed his release. Adam pulled her to her feet and wrapped his hand around her throat. Backing her into the door again, he kissed the side of her jaw. “You are entirely too dangerous.”
She smirked, “I could say the same for you.” Desire filled her eyes and his, as they struggled to resist the urge to continue.
Letting her go, he looked at her. “I knew you would be beautiful, but I never thought that you would affect me as you do and so quickly.”
She looked down to her feet, “I-I knew you would.” Her voice was quiet, and he could sense her feelings. “I don’t want to-”
He kissed her fingers, “Me either.”
She smiled sadly, “Let’s just enjoy what we have together.”
Using his thumb, he caressed her face, “I adore you.”
Her eyes widened and the purple in them glistened. Her lip quivered as she tried to hold in her tears. “And I adore you.”
--------------------------------------------------
“They're like two bunnies, they never stop going at one another.” Hades said rolling his eyes.
Kore chuckled. “Hey, at least they’re getting some. Maybe if you got some, you wouldn’t be so cranky.”
Hades arched his brow, “Are you trying to tell me something?”
Her face flushed, “I wasn’t talking about me.”
Moving towards her, he pushed a piece of hair from her face, “And why not? You are my soul tie, so one would reason you most certainly were suggesting you.”
Kore bit her bottom lip, “That’s very true.” She placed her hand under his shirt. “I guess the real question is if I was suggesting such a thing, would you be interested?” She touched his muscular chest and for every inch, she crawled up, she felt his jaw tighten. “Are you going to answer my question Hades? Or do I have to take a guess?”
He smirked, “Well played.”
Kore smirked, “I do alright.”
The two shared a laugh, until Hades stepped close to her, and lifted her chin with his finger. Lips inches from hers, he spoke, “I would certainly be interested. And I have a very strong feeling, we both would very much enjoy every moment.” Kore leaned forward, and connected their lips, pulling the tie from his hair. Though but a moment, it was enough to light a fire between the two. He cleared his throat and snatched his tie from her hands. “Why do you insist on removing this?”
“I told you why.”
He scoffed, “You can’t always have what you want Kore.”
She eyed him up and down, “Says who?”
She enjoyed their banter. The way their words said so many things, without completely crossing the line. Because both knew the moment they did, like Adam and Aphrodite, they wouldn’t be able to stop. So instead, they savored stolen kisses, laughs, and a lot of flirting. All the while going their separate ways, wondering how it even happened.
“Oh look who came up for air.” Hades teased, laughing at the redness on both Adam and Aphrodite’s faces.
“Sorry,” Adam grumbled.
Hades threw up his arms. “Hey, perhaps if I was getting some, I wouldn’t be cranky.”
Adam's eyes shot to Kore, who tried her best to stifle a laugh. “Inside joke,” she said finally.
“You guys are weird.”
Hades looked to Kore, “What’s normal anyway?”
Aphrodite joined Hades side, and the two squared off against Adam and Kore. “Today, we’re going to see what happens when you’re both share the same emotions," she said beginning the session.
Hades smirked at Adam, “Well I know you’re downright giddy, but Kore, how are you feeling?”
“Peachy,” she quipped.
Hades formed a black mist with his hand, and Aphrodite formed a similar pink one. “Good…because you two won’t be for long.”
Using the mist like a whip, he slapped Kore on her leg. Lunging the pink mist and Adam’s neck, Aphrodite pulled him to the ground. Hades used his to grab Kore’s leg and yanked her off her feet. Adam shouted, “WHAT THE FUCK?!”
Aphrodite laughed, “Sorry, I may adore you, but that doesn’t mean I’ll take it easy on you.” Standing the two glared at the Gods.
“Ohhhh they’re mad.” Kore locked eyes with Hades, feeling her blood boil. Heat permeated from Adam, and the two locked hands. The wind tore through the field, as their bodies began to glow. One of light one of darkness, each eyes burning through the Gods. Hades and Aphrodite prepared for impact, and then Kore snatched her hand from Adam.
“NO!” She stormed off.
Hades stared at Adam, “What’s the problem?”
He rubbed the back of his neck, “She should tell you.”
Hades scoffed, “We don’t have time for this! What. Is. The. Problem?”
Adam shook his head, “She’s afraid.”
Hades blew steam from his nose. “Afraid of what? Kore is a lot of things, but I wouldn’t peg her as being afraid of anything.”
Aphrodite tapped his shoulder. “Hades…I think she’s afraid of hurting you.”
“That’s ridiculous! Adam isn’t afraid of hurting you and he’s over the damn moon.”
“Yeahhh, but Kore isn’t like me…she’s more like her father…more like you.”
His eyes widened. “Excuse me,” He walked deeper into the wooded area. “Kore! I hate nature and bugs, can you please come out?!”
Rubbing her eyes, Kore emerged, Hades folded his arms to his chest. “What’s the matter?”
“Look, I know I should be ready for this, but I don’t need you to scold me right now.”
“I wasn’t planning to, I just wanted to know what’s going on in that head of yours.”
She sighed, “How can you just be so calm?”
“Because I’ve already made peace with it.”
“BUT I HAVEN’T OKAY!” Kore exhaled, “It was different when you were just a name.”
“And now?”
“Now…I find every day…I want to kill you a little less.”
Hades chuckled, “Come here.” He pulled her in his arms and placed his head on top of hers. “I honestly find myself more at peace with everything, now after meeting you.” She looked up at him, he smiled. “At least this way, I know you will be safe, and I-I need to make sure you’re safe.” She searched his hazel eyes, and he grabbed her hand. “Hey, can I take you somewhere?”
Kore nodded, and Hades transported them down to his home. She looked around, “It’s much homier than I remember.”
He laughed, “We were in my throne room before, this is my home.”
She rolled her eyes, “So pompous, of course, you have a throne room.”
Hades mocked her. “Says the one who father’s the Grim Reaper, mothers a Soul Eating Necromancer, AND who’s half of a nightmarish team that can destroy Gods.”
She smirked, “Don’t forget my mansion and pool house.”
“Yes, yes of course, how could one forget?”
Laughing at their shared joke, Hades showed her around his home. She stopped, “That’s a beautiful fireplace…” The two-toned brick caught her eye and she walked over to inspect it. “Can we turn it on?”
Joining her, Hades did as she asked. He made his way to the plush rug on the floor. “We can only stay for a moment though; I’m sure Adam and Aphrodite are worried about where we are.”
She scoffed, “Please, they’re probably back in the bedroom by now.”
“Probably.”
“Why did you bring me here?”
Hades folded his arms to his chest, “You seemed like you needed a moment someplace away from your family to clear your mind.”
“Thank you.” Hades nodded. Kore thought to her cousin and his soul tie and then looked down at hers.
He tilted his head. “What’s going through that mind of yours now?” Her eyes locked onto the tie she wanted to pull out. Releasing her own hair, she let her natural curls fall down her back.
“I like your hair curly.”
She smiled, “Thank you.” Joining him on the floor, Kore soon found herself snuggled against his chest. She listened to his breathing and she murmured, “I like you.”
His deep voice responded, “I like you as well Kore…more than I like anyone.”
She scrunched her nose, “Even more than my dad?”
“Eh…it’s a close race, he’s just so damn loveable.” She laughed, and it made Hades happy to hear. “Are you feeling better?” She nodded. “Good. Are you ready to leave?”
Kore pulled herself from his chest and looked to the flames of the fire. Turning back to him, she watched the embers dance off his eyes. She pulled her shirt over her head, and Hades watched in silence. Tugging at his, she removed it and his tie, letting his hair fall to his shoulder. Kore pressed her body against his and ran her fingers through his hair, while continuing to look him in the eyes. In a sinful voice, that sent a small chill up Hade's spine, she shook her head and murmured, “No.”
