“I know about Aphrodite, Hades,” she said.“I’m no more than a game to you.”
Those words made him angry. She had never been a game. In truth, he had rarely thought of the bargain with Aphrodite since it had begun. No, it had always been more than that. It had become a quest to see her power, to show her what it meant to be Divine, to convince her that she could be a queen.
“I have never considered you a game, Persephone.”
“The contract—”
“This has nothing to do with the contract!”
He released her, and as Persephone struggled to straighten, her reply was venomous.
“This has everything to do with the contract! Gods, I was so stupid! I let myself think you were good, even with the possibility of being your prisoner.”
“Prisoner? You would think yourself a prisoner here? Have I treated you so poorly?”
“A kind jailor is still a jailor,” Persephone snapped.
“If you considered me your warden, why did you fuck me?”
“It was you who foretold this.” Her voice shook.“And you were right—I did enjoy it, and now that it’s done, we can move on.”
“Move on?” He was rage incarnate, and his whole body shook. Was she speaking like this because her mother had caught them?“Is that what you want?”
“We both know it’s for the best.”
“I’m beginning to think you don’t know anything,” he said, stalking toward her.“I’m beginning to understand that you don’t even think for yourself.”
How had they gotten here? Where was the woman who had grown confident among his people? The woman who had waited for him, naked, in his office? The woman who had made a home in his heart?
“How dare you—”
“How dare I what, Persephone? Call out your bullshit? You act so powerless, but you’ve never made a damn decision for yourself. Will you let your mother determine who you fuck now?”
“Shut up!”
“Tell me what you want.” He cornered her, pinning her against the edge of the pool.
She didn’t look at him.
“Tell me!” Hades commanded.
“Fuck you!”
She was fierce, and her eyes were alight. She leveraged herself against him, legs around his waist. She kissed him hard, and he took every bit of it. He held her in place, hands spanning her back and bottom. He sat her on the edge of the pool, intending to go down on her, to taste her anger and her desire raging between her legs, but she clawed at him.
“No, I want your cock inside me,” she said.“Now.”
He obliged, practically jumping out of the pool. She pushed him on his back, wrapped her hand around his sex, and guided him inside her, filling herself full of him until her bottom touched his balls. He groaned, hands digging into her skin.
“Move fucking faster,” he commanded. They were both angry and goading the other, and inside, Hades felt his magic rising. It was calling to hers, the darkness teasing the light.
“Shut up,” she snapped, glaring down at him.
Hades responded by squeezing her breasts, rising to suck her nipples. Persephone moaned, and held him to her, legs tightening around his waist. He could barely catch his breath, but he encouraged her. He would lose his mind to her.
“Yes,” he hissed.“Use me. Harder. Faster.”
He came with a roar and covered her mouth with his, but the ecstasy was short-lived as she pushed him away and stood, leaving him sitting on the cold marble. She gathered her belongings and hurried up the stairs. Hades followed after her.
