Hades

|Meet|

•CHAPTER THIRTY•

"Your highness, are you ready for your dress?"

Dress? What dress?

Hades clears his throat, stepping up behind me. "Since Poseidon and his lovely entourage will be arriving soon, I thought it would be better to dress up."

The woman—Wesia— walks towards me, holding a simple yet elegant dress in her hand. "Here you are, your highness." She places it in my hands, bowing her head before retreating.

"That'll be all." Hades waves her off and she bows again, leaving the room quietly.

I untie my robe, letting to drop to my feet. The dark lines circled my belly, creating a story that wasn't mine to tell. The pregnancy had an effect on my body that anyone could see. It wasn't weight gain or stretch marks or dark bags under my eyes. It wasn't anything natural.

Although, my breasts have swelled. They were rounder;fuller. My hips have done the same, preparing for birth as they grew to fit. The unnatural part was my glow. I looked healthier and stronger than I ever had before. A tan covered my body due to being out in the sun in the garden, standing in the suns way as it shined. My hair was lighter than before..no longer the dark brown. Or the lighter brown that appeared to pop after Hades and I completed the bond.

Hades presses against me, his warm hands grabbing my hips. His lips touch the skin of my neck lightly, the slightest of his touches leaving me breathless.

"I have to get ready, remember?" I say half-heartedly, not having as much care as I should.

He pulls me closer to him, and I widen my eyes in shock at the evident indicator of arousal that was now pressed into my back.

"You're teasing me, and you think I won't get what I want?" His husky voice is like music to my ears as he whispers it quietly to me, his breath tickling my skin.

My nipples harden as he flips me, chest to chest. A little smirk takes over his lips when he glances down, seeing my apparent need for him.

He leans down, crushing his lips against mine in a rough kiss. His tongue pushes through my lips, claiming mine easily.

I wrap my arms around his neck as his hands slide under my thighs, lifting me with no effort. Walking over to the bed, he sets me on it gently before following, his body covering mine.

My legs are wrapped around his waist and I lift my hips to grind into him. He lets out a small growl, pulling away to let me breathe. His eyes are a dark blue like the ocean, and I could see a storm brewing within them.

A loud noise from outside the door causes me to jolt up, hitting my head smack into Hades as I do so.

"Fuck!" I groan, placing a hand to my forehead.

Annoyance and concern graces his face and he grimaces, looking at my head. "You'll be okay." He gives it a small peck before getting up. "Robe." He picks it up, handing it to me.

I slide it on quickly, tying it. Hades then walks over to the door, opening it roughly. "What?" 

The male stops mid-knock, his fist raised in the air. His face pales as his eyes widen. "I-I- Uh-uhm.."
