'She doesn't just mean sex and kisses,' I chuckled against the brunette's lips, connecting our lips again with a promise. "Always."

"Are you going to tell me why you were giggling when I topped you?" Alcina inquired as she settled into my arms to cuddle.

"Hm? Oh," I giggled, holding her closer. "Because you clearly wanted to hear my moans, and it was adorable how frustrated you got when I tried muffling them."

"I like hearing them," Alcina admitted, smiling when I began running my fingers through her hair. "Just as much as I love when you do this."

"Good thing I love to do this," I giggled as the human snuggled closer to me.

My eyes fluttered open when Alcina began to stir, placing kisses on her cheek as she woke up. "Good morning."

"Morning," Alcina rasped before turning her head to connect our lips. "I wish you didn't have to leave."

"Me too," I sighed into the kiss as Alcina scooted closer. "When will your parents-?"

A scream cut me off, making us tense and look at the open door — allowing me to spot a shocked woman in the doorway. "GET AWAY FROM MY DAUGHTER!"

'I guess we slept in, and this is her Mom...' I pulled away from Alcina, thankful that I had put on some clothes before we fell asleep last night, and scrambled out of the bed. I sent Alcina an apologetic smile before rushing out of the room, trying to avoid the servants. 'Shit! This is bad!'

"STOP THAT DYKE!" A man boomed, leading me to believe he was Alcina's Father.

'I see why Alcina hates being around them. This is bad. Really bad.'

After I managed to escape the castle, I used my powers to teleport me to the Underworld, shocking Makaria into yelping.

"Who-?! Oh! Aunt [Y/N], what brings you here?"

I panted as I caught my breath, glancing back despite knowing the humans couldn't follow me. "My...Mistress and I were caught...Her parents aren't accepting."

"...So you may never see her again?" Makaria softly asked, her eyes softening as I straightened up.

"...Yeah," I sighed. "And I just promised to take her to her favorite forest soon..."

"Come inside. I just finished making breakfast."

"Did your Father ever find out if that boy is his?"

"Mhm!" Makaria smiled and walked me to the castle. "Turns out his sister is Poseidon's child though. So, a little weird family dynamic, but it's nice to have a brother again!"

"I'm not enough anymore?" Zagreus pouted while taking his seat. "Why are we eating human food?"

"Our brother's here, so we're eating what he eats so he doesn't feel uncomfortable."

"...It better taste good," Zagreus grumbled before noticing me. "Aunt [Y/N]? Mom's on Olympus, remember?"

"I had to make a quick escape," I shrugged. "And your sister's offering food, so I'm staying for a bit."

The god perked up. "A quick escape?"

"My...Mistress. Her parents found out about us — they aren't accepting, so I may never see her again. But it was fun while it lasted."

"Then stay as long as you'd like," Hades hummed as he joined us. "Truly, Auntie, I mean it. You're always free to travel here."

"Ah, Hades, you're too kind. Maybe once Persephone's returned. You all seem happier when she's here."

"Of course, I'm happier when I have my wife at my side," Hades grumbled with a small glare.

After breakfast, I returned to Olympus with a soft groan. Aphrodite's smile as I entered the room fell the moment she saw my distressed face. Pink eyes softened as she walked closer and pulled me in for a hug.

"How long do you think it'll be?"

"Probably as long as they live," I admitted with a frown. "I'm going to miss Alcina."

"I know she'll miss you," Aphrodite hummed. "And just when things seemed to be working out."

Miranda POV

"Alcina?" I blinked in shock at the tear-stained woman. "What's wrong? What are you doing here?"

"My parents have ruined everything!" Alcina yelled while fresh tears began to fall. "She was a goddess! A literal goddess, and I may never see her again!"

"Who?"

"[Y/N]..."

'The one who was investigating me? An actual goddess? Well, to intrigue the gods must mean I'm doing something right,' I sighed and stood from my seat, walking over to the distressed woman. "...What if I said there was a possibility for you to live long and look young the whole time? Would you take the chance?"

"...I..." Green eyes held hesitation before anger and determination took over. "I'll do it. On one condition."

"Oh? Other than being able to see that goddess again?"

"...Yes."

"Well, enlighten me," I grinned, already hoping she would survive the cadou. 'This could work.'

Five Years Later

Autumn

First Person POV

"'Seph, you ready?" I asked, leaning against her doorway.

"Yeah," Persephone smiled as she rolled over her suitcase. "Is Apollo ready?"

"Mhm. He's waiting for us at the stables to take us."

"Where are we going anyway?"

"Your husband wanted to take a family vacation back home — back to Greece."

"So, he did listen to me," Persephone softly giggled. "...Any news from Alcina?"

"...Her parents have passed — a freak accident, apparently," I hummed, making the Queen of the Underworld perk up. "Alcina wants to meet after our vacation, so hopefully, I can find out more then."

I followed Persephone to Apollo, offering the sun god a smile as we stepped into his chariot. 'I'll have this to talk about with Alcina,' As we took off, I peered over the edge of the chariot with a smile. 'Five years...Five years away from each other. I wonder how much she's changed. Humans age fast, but I'm sure Alcina will be as gorgeous as always.' My eyes shifted to Persephone when she joined my side, offering me a warm smile.

I returned the smile before facing Apollo, gently nudging him with my foot. The sun god turned to look at me, raising a blonde eyebrow in a silent question. "Music?"

"Yeah, I got some," Apollo chuckled. "Why? Want to hear your girl sing now that you'll be able to visit her again?"

"...Maybe," I giggled, making the two gods laugh. 'And I miss hearing her voice in general.'
