Persephone returned to her chambers with Hades and Cerberus waiting for her in the foyer, Hades had a grim expression that obscured his handsome face, she wondered what worried him, but with everything going on she really didn't have to ask. She opened her mouth to tell him about the spirit she met today, but he already looked so agitated about Cerberus's attacker she didn't want to hand this off on him too. Before Persephone closed the door behind her, she assured herself that this matter could be handled discreetly on her own.

"Are you done for the day?" asked Hades as he approached her.

Persephone immediately noticed that he pushed away the grey cast on his face with a brighter one. "Yes," he pulled her into his embrace and both of them stood in silence, she enjoyed the feel of his arms around her and his heat warming her body more than the fires of hell themselves.

Hades moved her into their room and planted a soft kiss on her lips, she wondered what had brought this on so suddenly, but she didn't push him away, instead she held him closer and gave him what he needed. Persephone anchored her arms around his neck and moaned against his mouth as he skilful studied her lips, they consumed the feel of the other and never got tired of each other's fiery sweet taste that was hypnotic and rich. She would have willingly done anything Hades wished from her, but tonight they couldn't since it was the night of the banquet.

"We have a banquet to get ready for, my love," she told him, but his hands didn't stop roaming her body, and although she may say otherwise, it was very difficult denying Hades because he made it terribly hard for her to think about anything else. "You are so distracting," Persephone's claim made Hades laugh quietly, but then after a short while Hades pulled his touch away.

Persephone looked at her gowns and wondered what to wear as Hades came up behind her already dressed in black robes with crimson embroidery. "What shall I wear," she asked quietly trying to distract him before he got distracted again.

His scarlet eyes roamed over the selection that Pain kindly left for Persephone. "Wear something dull," she turned in his arms and threw him a confused look. "I don't want anyone staring at you," said Hades.

Persephone felt a small smile play on her lips as she began to plan the how she was going to pay back for all the times he relentlessly teased her, this banquet provided an opportune chance to get one on her husband.

"I didn't peg you as the jealous type," remarked Persephone.

Hades shrugged like nothing was wrong. "I'm not," he defended himself. "It's a simple banquet, that's all."
