Chapter 30: Reflection

The feast ended with a bang and Hades made sure everyone returned to their homes or back to their duties for the night.

"It was a beautiful evening," said Mono.

"Glad you enjoyed it," Hades smiled because he knew that Mono wasn't one to compliment easily. "I'm just happy that everything is back to normal."

"Don't be so sure," said Mono grimly. "I would be careful because Demeter is still plotting against you." There was a heavy silence between them. "Well, goodnight milord." Mono strode away with his ragged cloak flowing behind him.

Hades released a heavy breath before he returned to the cluttered table, but his wife wasn't there anymore. "Seph?" He called out but she didn't answer. He didn't wander too far into the cave when he found her standing under the blossomed tree that was healthy and vibrant. "Are you alright?" Seph's golden eyes were lost in thought. "Honey," he whispered against her ear and wrapped his arms around her small frame. "What's wrong?" he asked her.

"I just have a slight headache," she sighed and rested her head on his chest.

Hades kissed her temple. "It's been a long day," he said. "For both of us."

"There's this weight on my heart," she said. "I'm going to have to face my mother and Kore, but I do not know how."

"I'd worry about those things when the time is right," said Hades. "There is no point in ruining your perfectly good mood now."

Seph released a brief laugh. "It truly was a beautiful night, thank you."

Hades tightened his arms around Seph, her soft skin and warmth radiated into his soul and consumed every single fibre of his body, she suddenly relaxed in his arms and Hades took advantage. He trailed his hand along her stomach and under her plump breast that was tightly bound, which he didn't like at all but she still looked exquisitely beautiful in this gown. He wrapped his hand around her slender neck and tilted it slightly to the side, her neck was exposed for his eyes and his mouth watered to steal a taste. Hades laid his lips against her golden skin and trailed down to her the peak of her shoulder, the sweetness of flowers and purity poured through him and he realized how starved he was for Seph.

"I know a better way for you to thank me," said Hades.

Seph released a moan when he bit her neckline. "I think that way which you speak of will help with my headache too."

Hades chuckled and turned her in his arms. "We better get this dress off before I ruin another one," he teased her, but his eyes were beyond serious.

Seph circled her hands around his neck and the chill crawled down his spine straight to his hard erection, there was no denying that Seph controlled his body and that he responded to every single touch or kiss. Her wildflower scent that he never enjoyed more than when he was near her always took him to the deepest and darkest places of his lust. Seph's touch seeped under his skin and it felt alive, like the flowers bloom upon feeling her magic. Hades had no control whenever she was near him, she could make or break his strong immortal body by just laying her soft lips against his own.

"Kiss me," she demanded very gently.

Hades coaxed her lips apart and slid his tongue against hers, he was filled with a deep fire to consume her hard and fast, except he didn't because Hades wanted to take her gently and torment her slowly to the brink of pure ecstasy. His tongue danced with hers and he knew that her taste was incomparable with anyone else; she was sweeter than honey and hotter than fire. Hades bit her soft plump lip and groaned when her body pressed closely against his own. He was glad he didn't wear his armour tonight- the only thing between him and Seph were a few pieces of fabric.
