An "Accident" That Led To Something Else (Hades x Megara) (A Hercules Fanfic)

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

Hades' POV

  I continue to marvel at her in awe for several more hours, all through the night. Megara was stunning before but she looks even more so not. Jet black hair has never suited a gal as much as it suits her. Meg and I made several rounds of passionate love. She collapsed of exhaustion in my arms and is sound asleep. I'm slowly on my way to drifting off to sleep but yet I still am somewhat energized. A million thoughts are running through my mind right now, every single one of them pertaining to Meg. My precious, beautiful Meg. I love her with all of my heart and in addition to her being my queen here in the Underworld, I'd like to properly propose to her. I want to wait a bit before proposing though.

      Meg still needs time to properly digest her new appearance, new role, etc. I run my hands through her long, flowy hair until my eyes become droopy and sleep finally washes over me. I fall asleep with my head buried in Meg's chest, getting the most peaceful slumber I've had in centuries. I finally feel secure and truly in love again. Meg is one hundred percent wife material. She may still be working on seeing that with her own eyes but for now, I'll see it for the both of us. 

The next morning...

     I wake up to find Meg yawning and stirring in my arms. Her actions cause me to begin to yawn and stir as well. Meg smiles softly up at me. "Good morning Hades." I smile softly down at her. "Good morning my love. How'd you sleep?" "Just peachy for a change. How about you?" I grin. "Same here darling. By the way, I want to commend you again for the incredible sex we had last night. Your skills never cease to amaze me." She bows playfully as she sits up. "Why thank you dear. What's on the agenda for today?" I sit up slowly too. "We have a few torture sessions to attend. Are you feeling up to it babe? I don't want to stress you out. Torturing sessions are fun but they also can be emotionally draining when having to do multiple sessions in a row." 

       She scoffs. "I can handle it. I'm a big girl, I tie my own sandals and everything. I thought you would know this by now." I roll my eyes at her. "I only ask because I care about you. You can shadow me today to get a feel for how a torturing session typically goes. Okay?" She nods and the both of us get ready for a day of literal torture. Meg assists me as needed during a couple of the torturing sessions and does a great job doing so. Our final torturing session of the day involves... Hercules... Meg notices the name of the soul pop up and goes as white as a sheet. "Hades, I need to sit this one out." I nod solemnly. "I understand. Wait for me by the entrance of this terrain." I watch Meg with concern and keep my eyes on her until I know for certain that she's safe before turning my attention to the dreaded Hercules.

        His soul sneers at me. "I can't believe you took her from me Hades." I snarl at him and my hair immediately bursts into flames. Hercules has always been one of the few mere creatures to get under my skin, mainly because he's a biproduct of my brother Zeus. "I didn't take anything from you. You met an untimely fate and committed a few secret sins in the process so don't give me that bullshit Hercules. As shocking as it is to believe, I love Megara and she loves me. Now as for you, there's only one place where you're going to go... hell." He looks at me in shock, which is a rare expression to see on Hercules' face, whether it be the living version of him or the soul version of him. With the snap of my fingers and a few fire tricks, I send Hercules to where he truly belongs. Everyone praised the phony for being a saint but when in reality, he was just as cruel as me. What makes me despise him even more is how he played Meg like a fiddle and didn't seem to care about her feelings afterwards. Now that's what you call a monster. His screams of terror satisfy both my ears and my ego.

       I relish in his screams for a few minutes more before making my way out of the rather rough terrain and back to Meg. She's waiting by the entrance as promised. She fell asleep leaning against a post. I chuckle softly and scoop her up into my eyes, carrying her bridal style all the way back to my lair... or should I say... our home. I'll never get sick of saying that, I swear it.
