Can't Catch a Break Part 41

Chapter 41

(Can't Catch a Break)

Ares started to enter Apollo's Throne room when he stopped seeing Alexandra and Eros. The God of War couldn't help but shake his head. The redhead was so afraid of not living up to expectations of a good stepmother and yet she was already acting the part. She'd scolded his son, given him advice, and taken care of Eros when he was injured. The god was baffled she could be so quick to dismiss her abilities and yet be just as quick to show others theirs.

A smirk crossed his face as it appeared Alexandra was scolding his son once again. Amused he entered the room and approached the two. The god almost laughed as he witnessed his son lower his head in defeat to the woman. "What is it you have done now?" Ares inquired approaching the two.

Alex turned blue eyes toward him showing she was clearly displeased. "Eros thought going for a flight by himself while he is still healing was a good idea." The redhead crossed her arms and waited for Ares' reaction.

Eros cringed as he saw amber eyes begin to show signs of anger toward him. "You left this temple alone!? What were you thinking?! You could have been killed!" Ares bellowed. Eros head shot up at his father's words. Ares stepped toward his son and Alex quickly got between the two. "Alexandra!" He said warningly.

"We've already been through this part," Ares' bride informed him. "He's not going to do it again," she assured the quickly angering god. "Are you Eros?"

Eros lowered his head. "No ma'am," he replied.

"Good because if you so much as even think about it I'll make you wish you were trapped in a room with your father when he's angry!" Eros eyes went wide. The God of Erotic Love was more than a little surprised by not only her words but by the fact the woman meant her words. His father's bride wasn't immortal but somehow he believed that the woman would follow through with her warning. "It's not an idle threat."

"I know," Eros acknowledged.

"Where is he?!" Ares, Alex and Eros all looked toward the entrance of the room to see Nike storming into the room. "What were you thinking?!" Nike screamed angrily walking towards Eros. Alex smiled pleased to see the Goddess of Victory. She redhead glanced over to see Eros looked almost afraid of the woman.

"I think I'll have back up," Alex told her future stepson.

"I believe we shall allow Nike to have words with you," Ares said sounding suddenly calm and openly pleased. He walked over and put his arms around his future wife.

"I think that's a very good idea," Alex said smiling with open amusement.

Eros looked at her but before he could ask for any form of help his father and stepmother disappeared leaving him alone to Nike's wrath.

"I can explain!" Eros said quickly as the goddess reached him.

"There is nothing you can say that would make you taking a chance like that acceptable!" Nike yelled at him. "You are still healing! You..."

Eros didn't think and reaching out he yanked her forward causing her to crash into him as he crushed his lips to hers. It was a mistake. Nike broke the embrace and before Eros could react Nike slapped him across the face.

"How dare you!" Nike snarled. "You are not going to use intimacy with me to get yourself out of trouble! Now what were you doing out of the temple?!"

"My Lord?" The two looked over to see a servant entering from a side door. "Where would you like these?" she asked referring to a vase now full of exotic flowers.
