Love's Deception

EPILOGUE

Five Years Later...

"Ow!"

"Stay still, even more of a minute," Allison told her husband while finishing adjusting the stitches in the tuxedo she made him.

Once she was done, she stepped back to take a good look. Her breathtaking spouse stood in all his shining glory like a Greek god. He looked oozing hot and dashing with his ripping muscles that were tightly embraced by his dress shirt, his tousled, shiny dark locks with a few strands resting loosely against his forehead, his beautiful steel grey eyes looking at her with amusement radiating brightly and his thin, red lips etched into a wide smile that reached his eyes. Even after three years of being stuck and married to him, she couldn't seem to grow tired of his face which grew more and more handsome as the years passed by.

"You look good in it," she said in a very mushy manner.

Hades just chuckled, sauntered towards her with large, profound steps, his eyes feasting on the tasty sight of a snack before him. "Because my wife made it," he said, and before she could react, he gripped her waist and pulled her to him, creating uncalculated proximity between them. Enjoying the sight of his wife's stunned face before him, his chest rippled out a hearty chuckle before pulling her for a kiss, to which she responded by mirthfully kissing him back.

"I want you to try on my new designs but..." she murmured between their kisses that made him groan. Ever since she started designing tuxedos and dress shirts, she made him her model and human mannequin.

"But I need to finish my deal with the Spanish Count first," he looked at her as if pleading to let him go but she pouted at him in return. When he opened a deal with a Spanish Count whom she only knew by the name of Mr. Caballero, he had spent only a pinch amount of time with her and more hours devoting himself working on that deal.

"You're making excuses again."

The man's face fell sad as if he was guilty. "I'm sorry, love," he apologized and leaned to give his woman another kiss. "I promise you. Once I get the deal, I'm all yours," he promised, his voice getting a bit naughty on his last phrase.

Hearing his promise, the excited wife giggled and playfully fixed the tousled part of the tuxedo by running her hand over it. "I can't wait," she said, pulling a bit of distance between her and him. She saw his mint-scented lips smile which made her heart flutter crazily. He leaned his face down closer to hers and deepened their kiss by pulling her head close. "I love you," he whispered between their kisses.

She bit his lower lip before replying, "I love you too."

He groaned because of what she'd done. "You tease."

It was her turn to laugh. "Treat me to dinner and I'll give you a good head," she told him, winking before running away to their bedroom that was just beside her little studio.

When Allison arrived in the bedroom, she immediately went to the shower. She slowly stripped off her clothes, starting from her top but she halted midway when she caught the sight of their wedding ring that was fitted on her left hand's ring finger. The little thing glimmered against the light and its diamond shone brightly, making a pack of memories five years ago flash before her eyes.

Right on that day she admitted her feelings, they became an official couple, spending their remaining days in Bora Bora with much more vigor and happiness along with Hera, the goddess-like woman he was with, and her sons. Allison almost scoffed when she remembered the day when they arrived back in the U.S., meeting her parents along with her friends and Jojo. She felt nervous and scared that day, especially when both her father and Brent launched at Hades, greeting him with a punch that caused a ruckus in the airport. Trying to fix all the misunderstandings, she talked to her parents and explained to them everything.
