In the morning the palace was quite as Hades felt Persephone shift, the covers moving some but their limbs still touching. He smiled slightly at his pail flower as she grunted and snuggled closer. Hades lightly patted Persephone's hair as he woke her, the smooth gestures calming her. "Good morning my darling, how do you fair?"

Hades examined her face as Persephone looked up into his eyes, most of the nights terror gone now, but something was still there bothering her.

Persephone ever the lady, grunted and groaned as she rolled her eyes, "I don't want to get up, please don't make me"

Hades chuckled as the noise reverberated slightly around the room, shaking Persephone who was on top. "I don't make you do anything, but I believe responsibility is owed her due."

Persephone shimmied up Hades now as the covers completely melted away, displaying the two gods in their nakedness.

Responsibility can have someone else this morning, I want to stay here.

Persephone pouted a little as she ran her hands over the smooth abdomen of Hades.

Hades knew what she was trying to do as his cock tingled with expectation.

What kind of a king and queen would we be if someone else was left to play with her. And I know what your trying to do

The twinkle in Persephone's eyes was not genuine though as shadows lurked from the night before. Hades pushed her hand away lightly as he sat up, kissing the top of her head before pulling his legs onto the floor and standing. Persephone got a good view from the back as she propped her head up. speaking out loud now, "I thought the queen and king get to make all the rules though."

Hades smiled at the old argument as he stretched and walked into the other room to grab a toga. "I don't think we want to go the way of Cesar my dear, that was his rule of thumb and besides I'm expecting a guest some time this morning"

Persephone scooted up so her behind was against the dark obsidian bed frame as she covered herself with the sheets. "A guest?"

As Hades wrapping himself in linen he called from his closest, "Yes, she should be here any moment now, and I want to let you two talk alone, I'll be down in the pools swimming laps before going to judgment today."

Hades walked out to find Persephone still on the bed, as she looked up at the finely decorated ceiling. "I don't know if I can handle being the Queen of Hell today" her voice came out quiet as her hands quivered in the sheets. Hades who felt the mood shift even before it was happening was already at the edge of the bed as he gripped her small hand in his big one. "Nobody is asking you to be the queen today, go down to the kitchen and have some breakfast and then after wards I can have the judges transcribe the cases and we can have a study day. We'll be alone together in my study just the two of us you don't have to face the court." Persephone didn't meet Hades gaze as she nodded focusing on anything but the genuine love and concern in his eyes, as that would make getting out of bed all the harder.

Hades held Persephone's head as he kissed her forehead, "I understand and I see you, and I love you all the more". There eyes met now as Persephone felt her emotions come higher, feeling pain and love at the same time. Hades stood, holding out his hand to her, "My queen". While the gesture was small it was enough to get Persephone up as she was guided to her closet and vanity. Hades dressed her, his hands warm on her cold skin as he was gentle. She stood once more now in a dark blue peplos, her hair covering the openings of the shoulders.
