I shove myself off her, sit on the edge of the bed, and bury my face in my hands. Fuck, this girl. Calling me out on my sins like a gods-damned priest. The little heroine comes to save the damsel gargoyle in distress. When the fuck did that happen? The next thing I know, her arms are sliding around me from behind. Gods, doesn’t she know what she does when she presses her warm little body against my wings? My cock throbs with more blood, damn near ready to explode.
“Eros,” she whispers in my ear and wraps her arms around my neck. “I don’t want to leave. I want to stay. I want to…try.”
I peel her off my back because if she keeps touching my wings, I’m going to shoot my cum right here on the floor. Instead, I place her little body in my lap, where she rests her head against my chest and palms the space above my heart.
“What do you want, Butterfly? What do you need from me? How do you wish totry?”

“Please, Eros,” I whimper. “Rule me tonight.”
ARADIA
Isuck in a deep breath.
Because for me to share my trauma, I need him to help me rewrite it. Rewrite it through pain and then pleasure. Feel the pain first as I share, just like the pain and fear I felt that night…and all my life.
Then, I want him to reward me, so I may feel the pleasure.
Heart in my throat, I arch my neck to stare up at him, feeling closer to that shuddering little girl in his arms. “I need you to…punish me, hurt me. I need the pain. I have to focus on it, so I don’t…lose myself in the past. I need you to be my present, Eros.” I curve my fingers onto his chest, hoping he understands.
“On one condition, Butterfly.”
I squeeze my eyes, already fearing what he’s going to ask. Except, he cups my cheek with such affection, tenderness in his palm that I can’t help but dive right into that abyss and let it consume me.
“I will give you what you need…but not like this. You will feel your pain from my god hand.”
“You can’t—”
“I didn’t say I would sleep with you, Aradia,” he interrupts and thumbs away the tears trespassing on my flushed cheeks. “Merely that I will give you what you need. But…you will not see me. You will do this in utter darkness and find your way through it.”
I shiver. I’ve been sleeping with a light on ever since I was little. Even on nights where he’s come to me, I screamed before he would leave, kindling the candles and lanterns to flicker back to life. But he’s right.
I guess this is…trying. Trying together.
“Will you trust me to rule you as the true God of Love, Aradia?” He cups my chin and gazes down at me. Chaos hunts me. And the most powerful of all the gods.
Swallowing hard, I find the strength to nod.
“Say it,” he commands deeper with all the muscles in his gargoyle face hardening.
I purse my lips, hold in my tears, and say, “I trust you, Eros.” My voice was little more than a croak.
“Good girl. Now…beg for it.”
He tilts my chin until my throat is fully bared to him. Everything about his command surges heat to my core until the butterflies in my stomach transform into little phoenixes.
I remember him in the secret chamber and how I orgasmed. I’m too mortified to confess those moments, but I can’t help my curiosity about tonight. He’s testing me—testing to learn how much I truly wish to stay.
So, I get on my knees as I’ve been trained, place my trembling hands upon the back of my neck, spine arched, and chest thrust out in submission and presentation.
“Please, Eros,” I whimper. “Rule me tonight.”
As soon as the words leave my mouth, he dives in for the kiss.
Moments later,I’m shivering in pitch darkness.
My breath echoes like distant thunder in the room. After kissing me, he got up and told me to wait on the bed. One by one, the candles snuffed out, the curtains shut, and everything plunged into a pitch blackness—so grim, it feels like the bowels of the earth have swallowed me whole.
