She gave a grumble of protest at the stubborn set of his jaw and then she did the only thing she could think to do to break him from his painful confessions. She brushed her lips quickly over his. It was only the slightest touch and she pulled back before he could even react. She stood up and then turned around to look at him shyly, but her voice was pragmatic.

“I think you should show me the different realms tomorrow. Take a break from your duties.” She paused and re-phrased her sentence. “Or, perhaps have a different kind of workday by showing your queen around the Underworld. We can start with the Asphodel and then head to Elysium.”

“Adopting me to your menergie of injured creatures? I am not one of your helpless animals,” he countered.

“I do not think anyone would call you helpless,” she replied lightly. “Prove you are not a lone wolf by accompanying me tomorrow.”

“I could warn you about the dangers of letting a wolf loose with sheep,” he replied with shadowed eyes.

“Will you come?” she insisted again, ignoring how her pulse quickened at his warning.

“How could I resist the temptation?” he murmured, and she could not tell if he was being derisive or earnest, and which was worse.

She held out her hand, “You need to rest. ” He placed his large hand in hers and stood, towering over her and yet she felt strangely protective of this enigmatic, powerful God. She pulled at him insistently and to her surprise he complied, following her lead.

They walked in silence, hand in hand, back to her room. Step by step, dark hunger seized his mind. He should stop and insist that he return to his own rooms. This was madness, barely controlled desire...lust; he tried to push the sensations away, but sweat began to pool on his forehead and he felt the maddening pulse of arousal at the touch of her small hand in his. He had to leave, but when she opened the door to her room and willingly allowed him to enter, the temptation was too overwhelming to resist.

She turned back smiling at him, “What do you think?” she asked with an earnest expression on her beautiful face. She had no idea the derangement that was closing in on him. His wife would not look at him with such trust if she knew the raging erection he concealed beneath his robes.

A wolf with a lamb, he thought with disgust, remembering Aphrodite’s warning. And how he wanted to devour her. He forced himself to look around her room and saw the beautiful garden she had created and it seemed a stark contrast to his tormented, twisted and depraved thoughts.

He pulled his hand gently from hers on the pretense of inspecting her creations. He needed distance between them, so he moved to the fireplace scrutinizing the vibrant pink and violet flowers that wrapped around the hearth. “Persephone, these are lovely.” He turned to see his wife had lit a few candles, proud to show off her work.
