Hades

by Crystal Dawn

  He had never felt pleasure like that before in his life. He had a better understanding of what Zeus and Hermes felt now. He could relate better to their need to give their mates whatever they desired. He was sure he would die if he lost the female that lay quietly in his arms. He hoped she wasn’t too tired because he could make love to her for hours and still not have enough. He proceeded to show her two more times but then he let her rest because tomorrow would be a hard day.

  He wrapped his body around her protectively. He felt a peace descend on him he had never known before. She was his, he was hers, and together they were home. He wondered how long it would be before his seed took and she swelled with his child. A silly smile came to his face that he couldn’t wipe away. A little girl just like her stubborn mama would have him twisted around her fingers. He fell into the most restful sleep he had ever had.

  Morning came too soon and he didn’t know what had woke him at first. He realized there was a soft, warm female in his arms, his female. The silly smile came back and he gave up on banishing it. He would probably get a hard time over it but he just couldn’t make himself care. She was so beautiful as she lay in his arms still asleep but restless now. She was naked, just the way he liked her. He hoped all their problems would now be a thing of the past.

  He woke her gently with his kiss, she responded like they had woke up together a hundred times. He was hard when he woke, but now he was harder still. He squeezed her breasts and he tweaked her nipples getting a quick response and a moan. He moved his mouth to first one then the other giving them the attention they deserved. His hand moved between her legs, so hot, wet, and ready for him. He lined up their bodies and sank into her, deep inside.

  They moved together perfectly as he slid his arms under her knees opening her up for his carnal invasion. He moved slowly but deliberately, taking his time to gently love her. It felt so good for the tension to build slowly. She was impatient but he made her wait, her release would be so much stronger for it. She tried to go faster but he set the pace and refused to change it.

  “Hades, please, I need more.” She tightened her muscles around his already needy flesh and he sped up until he was drilling her hard and fast. She made encouraging noises he loved to hear, that urged him to take her faster still.

  “Yes, Doc, you like it like this, don’t you?” he whispered in her ear and felt her shiver with need.

  “Oh, God, yes!” she screamed, so on edge she was shaking.

  He slammed into her hard, once, twice, three, and finally the fourth time she thrashed and screamed her pleasure sending him to his. He could feel jets of his hot cum shooting so deep into his mate. It was more than just the pleasure, there was the feeling of deep satisfaction from being with his special one. He kissed her neck then he sank his teeth slowly into her neck tasting her sweet blood. He was more in touch with his inner beast than the other gods, maybe even more so than the demons. He loved the taste of her blood and this time he withheld most of his venom giving her just a small dose so he wouldn’t give her too much. She needed to be at her best for this mission and she needed to be able to think clearly. Too much venom might mess with her mind.

  They both lay back breathing hard trying to get their bodies under control. It had been so glorious, he knew he would never want another female again. Now, all he had to do was keep her safe until the threat was gone so she would always be with him. He thought about his gift, why couldn’t he have a less dangerous one? The gift of speed or the gift of breathing in water would be useful and not so dangerous as his. He and Zeus had the gifts that could kill not just the enemy, but if not managed properly, those they loved and even themselves. More so even than Zeus, he had the gift that seemed more like a curse.

  He rolled to his side, leaned over, and tenderly kissed his sweet mate. His arms pulled her closer and he stuck his nose against her neck near where he had bitten her to enjoy her changing scent. The change was slight, he had only bitten her twice but he had given her one large dose of his mating venom. Some might call it hormones, but it was something more. It would make changes to her giving her some of his traits. He thought someday she might even have his gift but he tried not to dwell on that because he found it disturbing.

  All the gods and demons were waiting, wondering when Sierra would throw the first lightning bolt. It hadn’t happened yet and no one knew when it might. These women were strong, the ones taken as mates. He dressed, his eyes on his mate while he tried to think but his mind turned to mush as he looked at the gorgeous creature he had been gifted with. She finished dressing and turned to face him, it was time to go.

  They headed to the meeting room where others waited. Hercules would be going with them as well as Apollo. They would be dressed as human soldiers but close up someone might realize they weren’t ordinary because they were just too tall, strong, and attractive. It seemed all the regular soldiers had been replaced by gods and a few by demons. When dressed in heavy winter jackets, the demon’s extras didn’t show. Hades was surprised when he saw Lu was one of the demons along for the ride. It was usually hard to part him from Athena and Fabian. He looked around quickly to be sure the kids weren’t hiding somewhere. Nope, Lu was kid free for this trip unless you took into account that he was just an overgrown kid himself.

  They discussed what might happen and how they would deal with it. The hope was they would find more of the imprisoned gods and demons, but they also hoped to spring a trap on whoever Origin had coming after Doc. It was possible that now that she had mated Hades they would leave her be, but that was unlikely at best. Eventually they would try for her and Hades wanted to be ready when they did. The meeting adjourned and they headed out in their plane. The plan was to fly to Washington DC, rest overnight, and borrow a helicopter to fly to their destination.

  They wanted to arrive rested and ready for anything because the success of the mission might depend on it. The flight could have been long and boring, well it was long but having his mate with him changed everything. Now that Doc had accepted him, she seemed different. She was actually playful and flirty, something he couldn’t have even imagined. It was as if she were at peace with herself and because of that, she welcomed her bond with him.

  Once they were in the air and the seatbelts came off, she grabbed his hand and pulled him along to the bedroom at the back of the plane. She locked the door once they were through it. She pulled him close to the bed where she pulled his shirt over his head. He wanted to strip her clothes from her, pull her to him, and ravish her body, but it was all so new he feared her reaction. He let her take the lead, excited by her aggressiveness, as she kissed her way down his chest and her nimble fingers unsnapped and unzipped his pants. She grabbed hold of both sides sliding down his pants and boxers causing his heavy engorged cock to bounce free.

  His eyes widened, surprised as he felt her lick his lower belly and slide her hand down his aching shaft. A shiny drop of precum hung at the end threatening to fall. He felt heat shoot through his body as she eyed the drop, moved closer, then licked it off with the tip of her tongue. His whole body jerked forward just as she ran her tongue around the head of his cock circling it seductively. Her tongue moved from tip to root and back again before she sank her mouth over the head sliding his cock all the way in until it hit the back of her throat.

  His cock was on fire and felt like it might explode as she continued to suck hard as she bobbed her head up and down his full length and stroked her tongue along the the underside where the vein was. He had never felt anything drive the passion so high and so quick as what she was doing to him now had. “Oh, Baby, I’m going to flood your mouth with a big load of cum if you don’t stop.”

  She sucked all the harder in response to his words, his salty essence flooded her mouth in no time as stream after stream emptied out of his slowly softening cock. He jerked, his cock and his whole body sensitive to her slightest touch.

  “You’re now a member of the mile high club,” she said with a smirk.


  He pushed her onto the bed, his body ready for her again in seconds as he slammed into her hot, moist depths. She let out a strangled cry before moaning and arching against him to urge him to move faster, harder. He gave her what she wanted pistoning his hips with all he had. She screamed so loud he thought for a moment he had hurt her but he realized she was lifting her hips to meet his. She had simply had a screaming orgasm that went on and on until he joined her yelling his completion to the skies as well.

  He collapsed on top of her but realized he was far too heavy to stay there so he moved her to the middle of the bed pulling her with him. He wrapped his precious mate in his arms and fell into another deep peaceful sleep. They slept until they were halfway there, joining the others at that point. They had just missed the meal, but the flight attendants brought them something when they noticed them in their seats.

  Everything had changed between them, he hoped it wasn’t just guilt because she had misjudged him. He hoped it was because she had needed him, ached for him like he had ached for her. His soul had called to her for months and now hers had finally answered. He needed the mission to work out because he could never let her go now that she was his.

  They arrived in Washington DC, bored but otherwise alright. Mark, the military liaison for this trip and brother to Kyler, nicknamed Killer, the man who had betrayed the gods by working against them with Origin, met them. Pedro would also meet them here when they were ready to go. Pedro was a contact of Sierra’s and he would be their backup, provide any equipment they needed, and take his costs out of the things found at the site they were hitting. He would sell the items of value and attempt to ransom anyone of importance he found back to Origin. If he found enough valuables, he would pay a small part of the profit back to the gods. It might not seem like he could turn a profit doing this kind of thing, but he had become quite wealthy doing exactly that.

  Mark had a row of Hummers lined up to carry them all to temporary quarters. He rode with Hades and Doc in the back while Hercules rode with the driver in the front. “If you guys would just give me the list of locations, I could help you with this. I could have half a dozen teams out scouring the locations finding all your lost people.” Mark looked sincere, but they weren’t taking any chances.

  “We don’t have all the locations and we have a very real concern about security. Look what happened to Hermes,” Hades said giving Mark a direct look. Mark looked away showing a small sign of embarrassment about how Hermes had been abducted when he came to Washington to work with Mark. There had been security leaks that had let Origin know where Hermes was and they had used that knowledge to take him. Origin had the funds to bribe all but the most loyal soldiers. No one had seen Mark’s half brother Kyler as a threat to anyone but Sierra who he had obsessed over. The truth had been, he turned out to be a threat to every god and demon there was.

  Mark let the subject drop since he knew he couldn’t win but he wasn’t happy about it. “Has Zeus made a decision about Kyler?” Mark had been trying to get custody of his brother who was currently imprisoned at Olympus. He had escaped the US military prison and attacked Sierra during her wedding to Zeus. Since he escaped once, Zeus was reluctant to return him to Mark’s custody.

  Hades looked around and his voice dropped lower than usual. “He is very conflicted about the decision and of course you were right, Sierra feels for both of you and wishes there was a safe way to return him to your care. Zeus can think of only one way, but he worries that it might offend you so he is reluctant to bring it up.”

  Mark leaned in closer, his eyes lit with interest. Doc turned away, Hades was sure she smothered a laugh. Hercules found the sights outside his window suddenly extremely interesting. Hades wondered if he, too, fought the need to laugh. In truth, Zeus had directed him to give Mark the option he was about to discuss but he felt it would be rejected and taken as an insult. This way, it would appear as if it was Mark’s idea should he accept it. Doc and Hercules were probably surprised that Hades was being so sneaky. He was usually straightforward leaving the machinations like these to Ares.

  “What might that be?” Mark asked, his attention fully on Hades and his voice also quiet even though everyone in the Hummer could hear what was being said.

  “Someone suggested a subdermal tag. That way if he escaped he would be easily tracked. If he were unaware of the tag, he wouldn’t know to remove it. He knows there’s no perfect solution, but it would show your willingness to try to keep Olympus and especially Zeus’s mate who is now with child, safe.”

  “She’s pregnant? I hope Kyler doesn’t find out. It might send him off the deep end.”

  “Few are aware of it but it will soon become impossible to hide. She is lucky she is in good shape and not showing when most women would be,” Doc said adding her two cents.

  “I would be happy to offer tagging him if that would give Zeus the assurance he needs to release him to us.”

  “I’ll let him know you suggested it and I’m sure he will contact you tomorrow.”

  Mark nodded, he looked satisfied with what he had accomplished. It made Hades wonder if Mark wanted his brother in his custody for more than personal reasons. They arrived at the building he and Doc had stayed at before but this stay would be much more enjoyable. Before, he and Doc had had separate bedrooms, now, they would share a bed as mates.

  The Hummers pulled up, one after the other unloading their occupants. Everyone grabbed their bags, he grabbed Doc’s large bag as well as his. Someone held the door open so they could all bring their luggage in. Mark went to the clerk in the lobby handing him a stack of papers.

  “See they all get a nice room,” Mark said before he left. Key cards were handed out but he made sure he and Doc got a room similar to the one they had stayed in last time. It would be nice to relax even for one night.

  Everyone made their way up to the third floor where their rooms were all in one section. Guards were set to rotate in pairs every four hours. Feeling safe and in need of rest, Hades led his mate to their room where they cleaned up and prepared for bed. They settled in the bed with him curled around her. As he drifted off to sleep he felt so good lying next to her that he was sure he was the happiest man in the world.

  They woke to knocking on the door. Hades went to answer it while Doc dressed. It was Hercules letting them know it was time for breakfast. Everyone packed their bags and loaded them in the Hummers that sat out front waiting. Once they were done with breakfast, they would be taken to the helicopters that would fly them north.

  Everything seemed to be going smoothly which made Hades think that either Origin was unaware of this trip or they didn’t want to attack while they had a military escort. They finished breakfast and loaded on the helicopters. Hades was on the lead copter and he gave the pilot the location they were headed to. The others would follow only able to guess the destination until they arrived. Pedro’s two copters arrived just before takeoff and they followed them too.

  They flew for hours stopping once to refuel, while everyone ate and used the facilities. They finished the rest of the flight with little talking but everyone was thinking about the mission ahead. Because it was November, it would be dark when they landed regardless of when that was. Everyone had night vision goggles because they would need them. Even with their heightened senses, they would use anything that gave them a bigger edge like the goggles. There was an airport nearby, but the nature of the mission meant they wouldn’t be using it. The pilots they were using were the very best because conditions there could be and often were, brutal.

  They would be there in moments and they all put on their goggles double checking their weapons. They were ready and it was time to get the party started. None of the copters were fully loaded leaving room on the ten copters for an additional fifty people. They unloaded and started moving as quickly as possible to the location. It wasn’t an easy hike but even Doc, the only human they’d brought was in good condition. If she had shown any sign of trouble, he would have carried her
despite any arguments she might have had, and he knew she would have had arguments.

  They arrived near the GPS coordinates so Hades sent out scouts. They returned after they located the entrances to the building. They couldn’t be sure if the building was inhabited or not without attempting entry. Pedro and his team followed along silently, he would say nothing until they were inside the facility and only then if absolutely necessary. He was nothing if not a professional and at this point nothing needed said.

  Everyone moved forward following the hand signals given by Hades and his assistant commanders. Once in place, they forced their way into the building quickly. It was abandoned except for four security guards and most of the equipment was still there. All of the computers were wiped and the files had been shredded. Pedro got enough to make it worth his time but for the gods and the military, it was a bust. The trip back was made in relative silence, the disappointment coming off the gods could almost be physically felt.

  Zeus sat at the head of the table looking at each person in turn. None of the places on the list they had been given were a joy to visit. Hades and Doc had no choice but to go since half the reason behind the mission was setting up a trap. The problem came with the remaining team members, and the overwhelming number of volunteers that had asked to be allowed to go along. Hades was glad the choice was Zeus’s and not his. The trips would be miserable but their brothers had volunteered hoping they would be helping to save more of their family. If only one god or demon was saved, it would be worth the suffering endured on the trip.

  “We selected Tristan de Cunha as the next location. It might sound familiar to any of you who are history buffs. It is considered the most remote, populated place on Earth and is near St. Helena, the island Napoleon was exiled to. A second cousin of Kevin Morose, a vice president of Origin, had a vacation home there. The facility is rumored to be close to that home. Most people reach the island by boat because it is rocky making it impossible to reach by plane, but you will be using ladders to exit the copters. I wish you all good luck.”
