Part Forty Nine

The next morning the honeymoon happy life I had built with Hades crashed down hard.

I woke up early and went out to the training field with Andre. Today we were focusing on one on one combat, meaning no magic or powers.

Without my powers the female soldiers kicked my ass.

After beating them for so many weeks with ease I swear they took joy in knocking me off my feet.

“Fuck!” I said in frustration as I was knocked down once again, a sword being placed to my throat.

“Don’t move,” Andre commanded the female soldier, I looked to Andre.

“Are you serious man?” I asked him.

“It’s time we start putting you in realistic scenarios, if someone were to put a knife to your throat, what would you do?” Andre asked.

“I’d-”

“Without magic, Kore.” Andre said with a groan.

“Fine.” I said, kicking my feet under my attacker and pushing her off me.

The woman was removed from me with my strength, but as I scrambled to stand up again she grabbed hold of my ankle and pulled me down hard into the dust.

Now she pulled her knife at my throat and I rolled around on the ground, narrowly missing her punch.

I stood up but made the mistake of turning my back for just a moment.

The soldier slammed into my body from behind, pushing me onto my stomach. She grabbed my hair in a ponytail harshly and put the knife to my throat from behind, drawing beads of blood from my exposed neck.

“Kinky.” I heard someone say. I spitefully looked up to Minthe.

I used my anger to push the woman off of me.

“That’s all for today Misha,” Andre said, clapping his hands together. The soldier behind me, Misha, removed herself from me with a smirk.

“What are you doing here Minthe?” I asked, washing my hands in the fountain. I healed my bleeding neck and washed the blood from it.

“Hades sent me, bondage training, remember?” She asked me. I wanted to bite her head off.

“Yup.” I said, removing the heavy armor I was wearing. I stepped out in my mesh link bodysuit, hoping that my small body would annoy Minthe.

She looked my body up and down in the tight suit.

“Cute, did Hades buy you a training bra?” She asked me.

“Andre! I’m going to kill her!” I said, throwing my hands up and walking to Andre.

“That side of Hades…desires are not in my control, but I can suggest throat punching her.” He said to me.

I turned back to Minthe,

“Fine. Let’s just get this over with.” I said to her, wanting nothing more than to throat punch this bitch to the depths of accursed hell.

“Trust me, I’ll make it quick.” She said, returning the same annoyed tone.

Minthe began walking, I had to walk very quickly to match her pace.

“So first things first I’ll show you his sex dungeon.” Minthe said,

I burst out laughing from behind her.

“You’re kidding.” I said, there was no way that Hades had a sex dungeon.

Minthe pulled aside a hanging tapestry and revealed a hidden staircase.

“Oh.” I said.

“Yup.” She said, walking down the dark stairs.

We walked down two flights of stairs into a beautiful sitting room.

“This is where he greets guests, then here,” She said, opening a very large pair of dark wooden doors,

“Is where the magic happens.” She said. The room was a blood red and velvet traditional ballroom. The structure resembled Hades main ballroom, but everything was…seductive.

Double staircases lead down to a large open space, but instead of a ballroom, it was much more intimate.

Various sections of tables and couches filled the room, with two identical bars on the left and right underneath a viewing balcony that spanned across the entire room.

Hanging curtains and metal circles filled the ceilings.

“That’s where the dancers go.” Minthe explained to me. How on earth did they dance on curtains?

“So this is where the main party is, it’s designed for intimate socialzing and admiring dancers.” She said to me, leading me back through yet another set of double doors.

“This is the private club,” She explained to me.

There was staff here at a greeting black marble desk.

“Minthe, how are you? Can we get you anything, champagne?” The girls asked her, I also noticed that they were wearing particularly short business skirts.

“I’ll take two, the best you have.” Minthe said, I was uncomfortable by how well received she was here.

“I ran this club for decades before catching Hades eyes.” Minthe explained to me.

“Nice.” I said sarcastically.

“We have steam rooms, smoke rooms, an exclusive hosting space.” She said, bringing me to a smaller room with another bar.

“Only Hades special guests are invited here, which is where you’ll be coming if you choose to do this.” She said to me.

“Hades favorite seat is here.” She said, touching a chair near a blazing fire.

“His submissives typically sit at his feet, or lay across this couch to be pet by him.” She said to me, referencing a day couch next to the chair.

“Um…wow.” I said.

“Honey, we’re just getting started.” She explained to me.

“Through here is Hades private dungeon.” She said, great, that’s just great.

We walked through a door into, yup a literal dungeon with prison cages.

“He has kept women in here?!” I asked her,

“Of course he does.” She explained to me.

“We had a particularly good time in that one there.” She said as we walked by the cage nearest to the next door we were about to enter.

That’s it, I thought.

I’m going to be a murdered, I’m going to murder Minthe.

“This is his private play room.” She said, opening her hands to the scariest thing to date.

“What. the. fuck.” I said, looking around the room.

The walls were black and red, some regal wallpaper and velvet curtains mixed in.

There were whips lining the walls, various sex toys, drawers, closets, and a four poster bed near the back covered by see through red screens.

I couldn’t kill Minthe, because I was about to have a panic attack.

I wandered through the room, trying to stay calm.

I pulled open a door which led to a huge walk in closet.

“Ah yes, his favorite costumes.” She said, my hands traveled over the feathers, leather, and lace outfits he had in here. He also had an insane amount of high heel shoes, and masquerade masks, leather bunny ears?!

“Too much for you?” Minthe asked, sneaking up behind me and cackling at my obvious fear.

“No.” I lied, my voice weak.

“Is this all of it?” I asked, my voice shaky but slowly regaining confidence.

“Cause I was expecting dead bodies or something.” I said to her, she rolled her eyes again.

“Hades will expect you to wear an outfit like this.” Minthe said, I picked up a lace thong.

“In front of other people?” I asked.

“Well, something more covering for dinner and meetings, but underneath, yes something like this.” She said to me.

“Why, embarrassed? Can’t handle it?” She asked me, I could almost feel her hot breath down my neck.

“Not at all, nymph.” I said to her.

I took a few moments to pick out a strapless lace black body suit and leather cat mask from the closet. They were all new with tags of course.

“I can do this, no problem.” I said to her, she looked at the leather mask in my hand and scoffed.

“We’ll see.” She said with her arms crossed.

“The last thing I have to show you are the secret entrances and exits. Hades insisted for your safety or whatever.” She said.

“Lead the way.” I said to her.
