"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
Don't forget to write a review, it means a lot to me.
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
Adeline's Pov~ I didn't know how I arrived home. I didn't remember when I had my dinner with Arsenio. The entire evening was a blur. "Adeline!" someone waved their hand in front of my face. I snapped out of my daze and focused on the person in front of me. "Are you listening?" Arsenio asked me with a frown, as if, trying to read my mind. I didn't even remember what I was thinking about. Maybe, I was thinking about a particular blue-eyed man. "Sorry," I probably looked dumb in front of him. "I asked you, is there is an extra bed or a blanket with you?" he repeated as if talking to a toddler. "Yeah… Yeah, yeah I do." I nodded my head and walked to my closet to retrieve an extra bed. That I have with me whenever I have a sleepover with Lisa, my college mate, now she lives in New York. Good old days! "Are you okay? You look very much dosed off the entire evening." He pointed out. "I'm fine.
