“So, what does that mean?” she asked, her eyes suddenly filled with curiosity.
“Clotho said she’s only seen a handful of apples on the tree doing this when a soul finds their true mate.” I paused and let my gaze fall to the floor. I heard Persephone utter a small gasp as she brought both of her hands to her mouth.
From behind her hands, I heard Persephone say, “Wh-whose apple is it connected to?”
Judging by her question, Persephone knew the answer, just as I had known when I asked Clotho. If Clotho had gone to her sisters with this information, there was a huge possibility that Atropos was not happy with the news. She must have been in a fit of rage once she was told. That would explain why she wouldn’t speak to me that day in their temple.
“It’s yours,” I confirmed. Persephone’s eyes glossed over with tears again as she dropped her hands to her sides.
“Oh, Hades,” she said, her voice cracking with emotion. “I’m so sorry. I-I don’t know what I was thinking. I shouldn’t have believed any of it. Apollo told Artemis, and she told me, and I know Artemis would never lie to me, so I just… I just…”
I shrugged as she dabbed at her eyes to stop the tears before they fell. “I just wish you had asked me first. I would have told you the truth, Persephone.”
“I’m so, so sorry, Hades,” she whispered as she closed the distance between us. I scooted away as she drew near, not feeling quite ready to make amends. “I didn’t hear from you all day. At first, I thought it was just because you were busy, but then I thought, ‘Maybe Apollo was telling the truth.’”
“Persephone, I’ve been up to my fucking ears in souls all day. I was ridiculously busy. I was going to visit you afterward if you would have just waited for me.” This time it was my voice that cracked.
Persephone lowered her head to her chest in shame. “I’m sorry, Hades.”
I sighed again, then peered at her from my peripheral vision. “So, are we over? Does that mean that the cord was wrong?”
“No.”
It was all she said as she raised her head and closed the distance between us once more. I didn’t have a chance to move away this time as Persephone straddled my lap and kissed me blind. I moaned against her lips as she buried her fingers into my unruly mane of brown hair. Every single cell in my body roared to life in unison as the conversation faded into nothing.
Persephone’s dress crawled dangerously high up her thighs, and I couldn’t help myself from gripping her supple flesh and squeezing her hips hard enough that my knuckles turned white. Persephone moaned softly, her tongue exploring the domain beyond my lips.
My breathing came ragged now as I twisted my tongue into hers. I could already feel my burning erection itching to be released from their denim prison as Persephone lightly ground herself against my crotch. I grabbed at Persephone’s perfectly firm ass and gripped her tightly, then rolled her onto the bed behind us so that I was positioned between her legs.
She gasped up at me, her face flush with lust. I leaned in close to her and gently tugged at her bottom lip with my teeth before I sat back on my knees and snapped my fingers, making Persephone’s clothes vanish into nothingness. I hissed at the picturesque view before me.
Persephone’s breasts were large and bountiful, her nipples taut with anticipation. Her curvaceous body was flushed a light pink but unmarred by scars or birthmarks unlike my own. At the junction of her deliciously thick thighs, there was a small triangular patch of thick dark curls. My mouth started to water.
I peeled my shirt off slowly, reveling in the hunger in her eyes as she watched me. When I was finished, I tossed it aside and smiled, then leaned in to kiss her a little more forcefully. If there was one thing that I wanted Persephone to remember about tonight, it was that she was mine. She was going to be mine now, forever, and always… and I was going to be hers just the same.
I left her lips and made a hot trail of kisses down to her neck. As I braced myself over her with my left hand, I used my right hand to take her breast into my palm as I nibbled at the delicate flesh at the base of her throat. Her breast overflowed in my hand, and it caused my cock to twitch with delight.
Jesus, this woman was absolutely fucking divine.
I continued my trail down her chest until my lips found her light pink nipples. I took both breasts into my hands and kneaded them before I circled my tongue around her areolas. Persephone hissed with pleasure and arched her back. I accepted this invitation and proceeded to suck on each nipple hard, making sure to show each one the same level of attention.
As I left her breasts and continued to kiss and nibble my way down Persephone’s abdomen, I could see that she was panting. Me too, my body cried. As I made my way down to her hips, I glanced up at Persephone. Her large lavender eyes were looking down at me, overflowing with hunger. I smiled and bit my lip as I sat up and parted her legs with both hands.
Nirvana, my body crooned. With a devilish grin, I positioned my face between her thighs and placed a tender kiss onto her mound.
Persephone moaned before she said, “Hades, what are you doing?”
Instead of a verbal response, I buried my lips against her sweet pink center. I groaned at the taste of her as I slowly ran my tongue from her core to the clit, my head spinning at the sweet taste of her desire. She was already wet for me, and it tasted just as heavenly as I thought it would.
Persephone cried out in pleasure as my tongue found her clit and began to tease it mercilessly. She squirmed beneath my mouth, and I had to force her legs down on either side of my head so that I could continue to devour her. In between moans, Persephone had reached down and buried a hand into my hair, pushing my mouth harder against her as she moved her hips in time with each long lick.
When I was fairly certain that she wouldn’t wriggle free from my grasp, I allowed one hand to travel up to her left breast to squeeze and knead on the plump flesh. Persephone hissed and moaned as I continued to lick long hot circles around her clit. My body was furious with me. Every lick and suck that I bestowed upon Persephone’s creamy pink center caused my cock to ache beneath my jeans. It was maddening!
Calm down, boy. It’s almost your turn.
Just as I thought this, Persephone arched her back one last time before orgasming against my tongue. As she collapsed into a blissful heap, my head spun at the taste of her orgasm. It was hot, sweet, welcoming, and dripping down my chin like a kid eating an ice cream cone on a hot day.
Dear lord, she was delicious!
Okay, I could deny my aching appendage no further. When I had licked Persephone until her begging point, I slowly pulled my face away from her and sat up on my knees. Persephone smiled blissfully as I stared down hungrily at her.
“That was incredible.”
I chuckled before I reached down to undo my jeans. “And to think that wasn’t even the best part.”
“Wait,” Persephone said. I raised a brow, my hands pausing on my belt. I watched in awe as Persephone slowly crawled to her knees and smiled up at me. “I want to do it.”

Persephone
As I mentally came down from my explosive orgasm, I closed my eyes. My head was spinning, and it felt as though my soul had briefly left my body. I exhaled slowly, coming down from the high that was known as Hades. What this man had just done to me with his mouth had left me faint and breathless. And yet, my body was demanding more.
I opened my eyes again and let my gaze linger on Hades’ immaculately sculpted body as he sat back on his knees. Dark brown hair lightly dusted his chest and left a trail that disappeared down beneath the waistline of his jeans. I wanted to run my tongue over that trail and find out what waited for me at the end. My body purred at the thought, and a light throbbing began to pulse between my thighs.
From his chiseled chest down to his washboard abs, Hades’ body was riddled with faint pink scars. Along the left side of his torso, in particular, from under his left nipple down to his waistline, there was an intimidatingly l
arge half-moon scar. Hades had explained these to me before, but this is the first time that I had actually seen the scars for myself.
That must have been from his father.
I shook the thought away, not wanting to ruin the moment by thinking about more depressing topics. Instead, I smiled up at Hades as his gaze bore down on me, laced with hunger.
“That was incredible,” I whispered.
“And to think that wasn’t even the best part.” Hades chuckled as his hands slowly reached for the clasp on his belt, a devilish grin tugging at his lips. I could already see the large bulge raging beneath his jeans, and it made my mouth dry.
“Wait,” I said suddenly. His hands froze on his belt as he raised a brow and eyed me speculatively. I didn’t want Hades to undress himself. I desperately wanted to follow that trail on his body with my tongue as he had done to me. I wanted to taste him. “I want to do it.”
I got onto my hands and knees and slowly crawled towards him. I placed my hands on his belt and glanced up into his deep blue eyes to see the anticipation that waited there for me. I smiled, feeling quite delighted with myself, and swiftly undid his belt before moving onto the button on his jeans. Hades’ breathing had become slow and shallow as I purposely let the back of my knuckles lightly brush against his bare skin before I moved my fingers down to his zipper.
Carefully, and ever so slowly, I unzipped his pants. To my surprise, Hades wore absolutely nothing underneath his jeans, allowing his cock to spring from them without warning. At the sight of his large, throbbing member, my stomach fluttered. Not only was Hades large for a man, but it appeared other parts of him were just as large.
I delicately let my fingers trail down his abdomen until I brushed his shaft with the pads of my fingers. Hades hissed as his manhood twitched lightly at my touch. I bit down on my lower lip, and I peered up at Hades from beneath my eyelashes as I wrapped my hand around his thick velvet shaft and gave it a stroke.
Hades groaned low in his throat as I slowly stroked back and forth in a steady rhythm. With every low moan that escaped his lips, I found that my body pulsed thunderously in response. As Hades threw his head back in pleasure, I moved in closer and placed a tender kiss onto his chest. I felt a large hand bury itself in my hair as I moved my kisses further south, alternating between sensual licks and playful nibbles.
I lightly grazed my teeth along his body, enjoying the feeling of his taut skin beneath my lips. Without warning him, I replaced my teeth with my tongue and slowly followed the sharp line of his v-cut. His skin was warm and salty beneath my tongue, and I moaned softly at the taste.
“Persephone,” Hades moaned as he dropped his gaze back down to me. The longing in his eyes tugged at the strings of my heart. I was absolutely in love with this man. I wanted him to feel just as good as he’d made me feel, if not better. And even though I was inexperienced in this field, I was determined to give it my all.
I looked down at the glory that was Hades. The sheer size and girth of this man had me trembling with both fear and anticipation. Still, I couldn’t balk now that we’d both come this far. I used a hand to bring his manhood to my face and took a deep breath.
On my hands and knees before him, I seductively licked my lips, then leaned forward and kissed the head of his cock, all the while peering up into Hades’ dark eyes. I slowly used my tongue to caress the head, allowing my tongue to become familiar with the taste and smooth feel of him. Hades shuddered with arousal as I licked the underside of his shaft, losing myself in the salty-sweet taste of him. I wrapped my lips around him, then began sliding back and forth across his straining member. His eyes squeezed shut in ecstasy as my lips and tongue slid all over his thick rod.
Still grasping his shaft, I looked up at Hades and parted my lips, forming an “O,” then slowly and teasingly, I took the tip of his member into my hot, wet mouth. Hades growled as he watched as the head of his cock disappeared behind my lips as I began to take him deeper down my throat slowly.
“Stop,” he hissed, his breathing coming out in ragged gasps. I pulled back, feeling more than a little confused, as Hades smiled at me in between breaths. “If you keep doing that, then this is going to end way too soon.”
I chuckled, a pleased sparkle glinting in my eyes as I obeyed and sat up on my knees slowly. Hades bit down on his lip as he slipped his hand down from my hair to my throat. He wrapped his fingers around my throat delicately, then pulled me up to meet his lips. Delirious with desire, I crushed my mouth against his and allowed myself to melt into his arms.
With one swift motion, Hades grabbed at my thighs and hoisted me up around his waist. I wrapped my legs around him in response, feeling his shaft glide teasingly between the delicate folds of my body. I gasped against his lips. Hades carefully shifted us onto the bed so that he was positioned over me once more and lay me gently on the pillows. Before we could progress, he broke our kiss and rested his forehead against mine.
“Are you sure you want to do this?” he asked in a husky whisper.
I took a shaky breath, making sure to keep my eyes locked on his, before nodding slowly. I had never been as sure about anything in my entire life as I was about this. I wanted Hades. I wanted him more than I had ever wanted anything. And tonight, I wanted Hades to make me his.
With my confirmation, he lowered a hand down between us and positioned himself at the entrance of my body. Before I could take a breath, Hades placed a searingly hot kiss on my lips then drove his cock inside me without hesitation. Blinding pain shot down to the tips of my toes, and I couldn’t help but cry out as Hades filled me with his girth.
“Are you okay?” he whispered into my ear, his warm breath tickling my neck.
I winced at the pain that made its uncomfortable home between my legs before nodding and whispering back a weak, “Yes.”
“Do you want me to continue?”
“Yes,” I repeated.
I felt Hades bury his lips into my neck as he slowly began to rock his hips against me, his shaft slowly gliding in and out between my tender folds. With each new thrust, the pain of my virginity melted into sweet amber waves of pleasure. I threw my head back, moaning at the feel of Hades filling me over and over again.
I reached behind my head and grabbed a firm hold of the pillow. Hades, glistening with sweat, left my neck and sat back onto his knees, then grabbed hold of my thighs and yanked me towards him, driving his cock further into me. I cried out with ecstasy and curled my toes in delight as he hoisted my legs onto his shoulders and increased the speed and intensity with which he continued to thrust.
Somewhere deep in my stomach, I felt a warm surge of energy starting to grow. With each new thrust, the energy began to expand. Hades growled as he mercilessly drove himself into me, feeling the walls of my body tightening around him. I arched my back as I felt the energy grow hotter and brighter until I finally felt myself letting go.
Another orgasm shook my body with blinding force, causing me to cry out from the sheer force of it. Hades moaned loudly as he continued to thrust through the throes of my passion. Within moments, I felt him join me. I could feel his warm seed erupting within me in slow, steady throbs. For a moment, Hades didn’t seem to move, holding onto my legs as if they were the only thing holding him up.
I smiled as I looked up at him, my breathing coming even more ragged than it had before. I felt as though all the air had been knocked out of me as I took one steady breath after another.
I didn’t mind it in the least.
Hades opened his left eye slowly at first, followed by his right before he smiled. He was dripping with sweat, and there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes, yet he was still the most incredible sight I’d ever seen. I could hardly form words as we stared at each other in a daze.
I thought I had known what true freedom had been when I had first waited outside of the club for Artemis. Despite being rattled by my nerves and anxiety, I had been filled to the brim with excitement and joy. Everything that I had experienced tha
t first night had been new and foreign to me, making the experience more memorable. But this moment that I had just shared with Hades, and every moment before, had me feeling something completely different. It was as if he was the puzzle piece that I was missing in my life.
As I lay spent and panting, I slowly began to realize that I was no longer afraid of anything. Hades had unknowingly opened a new door to another part of myself that I had never seen before. For most of my life, I had spent my time playing the part of an innocent young woman whose sole duty was to obey her mother. However, all I wanted right now was to march directly into Olympus and finally show my mother that I wasn’t going to be that girl anymore.
Perhaps this had been part of my personal growth. Perhaps this had been due to the love and strength that Hades provided for me every moment that we spent together. Whatever the reason was, I was thankful for it. Hades gently set my legs down and came to lay beside me with a blissful sigh.
“How are you feeling?” he asked quietly. I could hear that he was trying to control his breathing so his voice wouldn’t sound too rushed or harsh.
I smiled broadly. “I feel amazing. What about you?”
Hades chuckled before he leaned in for a small kiss. As our lips parted, he breathed, “Incredible.”
He reached out and placed an arm under my head, then brought me close to him. I rested my head onto his chest as he allowed his hand to trail down my spine with his nails gently scraping my skin. Beneath my ear, I could feel that his breathing was slowly growing deeper as he allowed himself to succumb to exhaustion.
When I had first met Hades, he was a man of mystery, power, and intrigue. Yet as he held me delicately like this, as though I could shatter at any moment, I felt so safe in his arms. I felt loved. I knew that I could never let this man go. I wanted to be by his side for the rest of my life, and I was more than willing to fight for that right. I would fight for it.
