Persephone

"The gods above punish me for doing this, but I am not letting you walk away from me again, dammit, I'm sorry Persephone."

I look into his eyes, and I know damn well that there is no escaping this, "Let me go."

"Not until you agree to have dinner with me," he says pulling me closer to him.

I nod, "Okay, I'll have dinner with you."

He releases me from his tight grip, and I step back from him, I don't want to do this, not with this monster, this demon.

But you have to admit, he looked sexy, Persephone.

Damn you, Persephone.

Admit it. The only reason, you've been avoiding him is because the thought of the 'demon' turns you on to the point of no return.

I follow Hades into the lounge area and hold back a gasp. The set was beautiful, the candles, favourite roses, wine, and jazz music. I can tell he did this on his own because of the amount of nervousness he's showing right now.

"You like it?"

I sigh, "I love it Hades, I can tell you put your heart into it."

We gesture for me to sit down, I smile and sit on the cochins, and he sits beside me and pours us both some red wine.

"So, what did you get up to today?" he asks.

Shit.

I take a sip of my wine and shrug. "Spent the day with Hecate running some errands. I met a few people that you work with within the underworld and that's pretty much it."

"Did she introduce you to Cerberus?"

I shake my head, "She said that that was your job, who is he?"

I chuckle, "And she's right about that, Cerberus is my best friend, he's been with me since the day I was born,"

She coos, "That's so sweet, when can I meet him?"

"All in good time dear," he winks, and I blush. "I have prepared your favourite for dinner, mac and cheese with some fried chicken."

"Thank you Hades, I've been craving that all day," I confess. He places a try on the table, and the smell of mac and cheese hit my nostrils and I moan.

Hades laughs as he dishes food into a plate, and hands it to me. I thank him, and I quickly share the grace before digging into my food.

"Did Hecate not feed you while you were out?"

I nod, "She did but she's the type that doesn't like to eat while she's out,"

"That does sound like Nena," he chuckles.

He dishes for himself and begins to eat. After two servings and a couple of glasses of wine. I am feeling tipsy, and I can tell Hades is a little tipsy too after a few glasses of his favourite whiskey.

"Persephone, I'm sorry about last week. I know what you saw was scary but that isn't me, well is but it's a part of me. I don't want anyone to see, and Claire just brought him out of me, and I don't know how and I'm sorry _-

I shush him and crawl over to him and onto his lap, "Hades, it's okay and I accept your apology. It's just that when I saw you like that I was so conflicted, I didn't know what to think. I was terrified and at the same time very turned on and that terrified me even more,"

"You were turned on by it?"

I bite my lip and nod, "Very turned on and I hated myself for it because I couldn't tell if it was a good or a bad thing. I'm sorry that I projected that onto you like that."

I look into his blue eyes and my heart melts, this man is not evil at all, nothing about him says evil. He has his demons but so does everybody else and who cares if he is an actual demon or whatever he is? He's my husband and I made a vow to love him, evil or not.

"I love you Hades," I whisper as I place a chaste kiss on his lips. He pulls me in and we share a long-awaited passionate kiss.

Damn, I missed him.

I moan as he slides his hands down to my ass and squeezes it. I wrap my arms around his neck and slide my hand into his soft chocolate-brown hair.

I hear rattling and see the little table lifting from the ground and moving to the other side of the room. My telekinesis.

"Are you doing that? Hades asks me.

"I'm thinking it," I reply and grin.

"My queen is learning quickly, I'm proud of you," he smashes his lips on mine and lays me down on the carpet. He starts kissing my face, I giggle, and he starts to tickle me. I feel his weight lift off me, and I open my eyes and he's levitating above me. I gasp, and he drops down on top of me causing me to groan in pain.

"You are heavy, get off me Hades," I push him off me and he starts to laugh.

"For a guy with a small body, you weigh a ton,"

"It's all this muscle and the steel rod between my legs," he smirks. I roll my eyes and look over at him, he pushes the strands of hair out of my face and kisses my forehead.

"I missed you Persephone, the past week was hell without you,"

"Well kiss me as you missed me Hades," I giggle.

He gets back on top of me. He lingers above me, inches from my face before kissing me, tasting his bubble-gum Chapstick on my lips. He licks my bottom lip, asking for permission to get into my mouth. I part my lips and he slips his tongue into my mouth. I feel his hand slide down my body, and it stops right above my haven, he rubs it through the fabric of my dress. I moan, squirming under his touch, I wanted more.

He pulls my dress up and slips his hand into my panties, teasing me. I try to move my body so he can touch me, but he pulls his hand out and pulls away from me, I pout. He snaps his fingers, and the fireplace lights up.

"You are just full of surprises, aren't you Mr Wilson?"

"I couldn't agree more, dear,"

Hades jumps off me and I look at where the voice comes from, and my mouth falls open.

"Mom."
