Divine Deception

My eyes snap open and I sit up in bed gasping. I must have fallen asleep when I laid down. Brining my hand to my throat, I feel my heart beating frantically. I turn my head to scan my apartment, no one is here. The light is still on and the door is clearly closed and locked. No sign of anyone coming in or out that I can see.

I flop back on my pillows and eye the can of beer by my bed. What the hell was that? Alcohol has never made me have dreams like that before. It quiets the nightmares sure but sending me into full feral mode is different. While thinking of that jackass assassin of all people. Scrubbing my hand over my face I think of the nickname he used and cringe. Pinkie Pie? That must have been my brain trying to wake me up. Not cool using my cartoon obsession against me grey matter.

Checking my phone, I've slept till nine in the morning. Time to call Shelly and find out what is happing in the world of the brotherhood. My gut tells me they're going to be a bigger pain than they have been before. I've got time for a quick shower, a cold one given the throbbing ache in my pussy. I never have this reaction to men anymore, it's usually feelings of revulsion or mild disgust at the least whenever I'm close to one for a mission.

I buried my sexual desires long ago. I've been able to resist the urges I do get. When I first began my duties as a revenge demon, I had the occasional romp in the hay. I chalked that up to the fact my humanity was still so much a part of me. As the centuries have gone on, the idea of a man touching me has crossed my mind less and less. This could be a problem if I come across the assassin again. I am Aphrodite's daughter, aren't I? How much of my sudden urge to climb a man like a tree is "goddess of love" genetic makeup.

Making a mental note to check in with her and dad later today I sigh and get up. The mirror catches my eye, and I have to double take at my reflection. After my shift while hunting, there is a solid grey streak in my hair next to my face about two inches wide. Fuck, this is getting increasingly frustrating. It didn't take much for me to let the Demon out earlier. I've always had a good reign on my temper, but the masked man pushed my buttons in the worst way apparently and I lost control.
