(Book 4)- Chapter 31
Parisa’s POV
I felt so confused. My heart was telling me what Hades was feeling. It was the strangest thing. Without even looking into his actions, I could feel the internal struggle he was having. I wasn’t sure if it was the bond that we shared or something different entirely. I wasn’t an expert, and Hades wasn’t either. His mouth was telling me one thing, but it was his aura telling me another.
He was feeling inadequate for sure; any man would if he couldn’t give someone he loved a child, but there was an overwhelming feeling of guilt and regret tied along with it. The emotion was building with each passing second as we sat there in silence as I ran my fingers through his hair. Trying to be calm and not prying too much, I pulled his mouth towards mine and kissed him lightly.
“Tell me what is wrong, Hades? I thought we were supposed to be in this together?” Hades closed his eyes and heaved a heavy sigh as his head went straight for my lap. Sitting up, I rubbed his bareback, which was full of ridges of muscle and tanned skin. My heart skipped a beat, and my mind started drifting elsewhere. Hades was noticing my reaction, but I coughed to break it.
“No secrets, Hades, I feel guilt all over you, and I know it isn’t about the baby thing,” I talked more sternly. Hades stiffened and stopped stroking his thumb on my thigh.
“How would you know?” he accused but not in such a manner of throwing it in my face. His expression was of pure interest.
“I feel it, in here,” I pointed to my heart. “I feel your guilt weigh on you like bricks. It is like part of me is feeling something that isn’t mine,” I trailed off. “Is it the bond?” Hades sat up on his forearms and kissed the top of my thigh.
“Part of it? It shouldn’t be so strong,” he mused. “You know it isn’t your feeling?” I nodded. What would I have to feel guilty about anyway?
“It’s like I can just look at you, and when I take in your eyes, I feel the overwhelming feeling of guilt and fear.” Hades’ breath caught as he sat up in the bed and put his legs over the side. His hands immediately went to his face.
“I do have guilt, and I am afraid.” He stated. “It is strange you can feel it so strongly since we aren’t bonded but, we are a bit different of a human and a god,” he chuckled. “Anyway, there is something I need to tell you.”
I scooted closer to him as I pulled the bed sheet around me. “Then tell me,” I whispered while putting my cheek to his shoulder. Hades growled out in frustration and pulled his hair.
“I can’t,” he breathed. “I’m too afraid you will leave,” letting out a breath; he stood up in his completely naked form. His butt was nothing, but muscle and I could see the indentions and smooth lines that covered him. My heart caught up in my throat, and I wasn’t able to swallow. Looking away, concentrating on the carpet, I forced down the spit in my mouth.
“Hades, I told you I wouldn’t leave. I’m scared you will leave me. I’m not really that much of a- “I was stopped by Hades smashing his lips to mine. It was rough but ended gently as he continued to peck my lips.
“You are my everything,” he whispered in my mouth. “Don’t think anything else otherwise.” I nodded. I pulled him in for one more k**s.
“Alright, I’ll tell you.” Hades walked away and put on a pair of black joggers, thank heavens because he was way too distracting. Sitting his knees on the floor in front, he held my hands; he closed his eyes for a few moments and looked into mine.
“Do you remember the masked gladiator that took you from your home?” My heart stopped, and Hades squeezed my hands tight.
“No, no, you wouldn’t,” the tears were pooling. Hades would never do such a thing; he would never take a young girl and sell her off. Hades started shaking his head.
“I didn’t do it; someone stole that helmet from me. It is my helmet, but I swear to you it was stolen. You can ask any of our friends. I swear to you, I didn’t take you. You have to believe me.” Hades’ head rested in my lap as my heart continued to be at a standstill.
I felt the honesty, the bit of guilt that rode his heart like an earthquake was slowly fading. In my mind, I felt a small whisper as I concentrated, and the breath of wind spoke, “truth, he’s telling the truth.” It was the same voice that spoke my name just a week ago.
“Who are you,” I tried to ask, only to hear Hades’ sob. My heart broke in an instant. The King of the Underworld was crying into my lap.
“I’m not leaving,” I whispered as I continued to pet him. Hades gripped my thighs tighter like I was going to float away and never return. It was tight enough to form bruises, but I said nothing; if he needed security, I would give it to him.
The helmet, the bane of my existence, and the object that haunted my dreams was something that Hades owned. Many nights I cursed the helmet, but it should have been the man behind it. I saw nothing but the object that hid the villain from the world. The coward that couldn’t show his face.
“Is the helmet still out there?” I gulped, and Hades’ dark eyes met mine.
“I had it, the night we took you from the club. It was in my possession, and now it is gone again. When Nero escaped, he took it.” My mouth was set open as a tiny squeak fell out.
“Was it N-Nero who took me?” My hands fell into a ball, tightening my hands around each other. My breath became quick and lean, and Hades immediately sat down on the bed and pulled me to his chest.
“They will pay, They will pay dearly,” the voice was dark and almost made me feel scared. The once crying god was now angered as he held me. Feeling the revenge and hate in his heart, I knew he would protect me. “I will make sure they suffer a fate worse than death and torture. He will face the Titans and their hunger for violence. He will spawn over and over and deal with the pain you and many other women had to endure a thousand times over.”
My breathing slowed, feeling the warmth from his chest. “I swear to you. I will get the helmet back. I will fight for you and my mistake.” A hint of guilt crossed his heart, but it faded far too quickly to read it. The bond was a strange thing. One minute overwhelming emotions came from him, and it was gone just as quickly.
Hades’ chest continued to rise and fall as we sat in each other’s presence. My finger trailed around his chest tattoo, and his skin shivered.
Earlier, he gave me the greatest pleasure I had ever felt, and it felt even more amazing that he did it. His hands, his tongue the way he spoke to me took me places in my mind and body I wanted to explore more. I didn’t want to seem overly greedy, but after our talk about him giving up one of his dark secrets he held from me, even though he shouldn’t have, it made me want to share more of myself.
“So you aren’t mad at me?” He kissed my forehead.
“No, you had no control over Nero, who stole something from you. You had no way to prevent it! I just hope I don’t see it again; will you destroy it when you get it back?” There was a wince in his face as I told him he couldn’t prevent it; of course, he would think he could have. Anything that led back to him and caused me discomfort he would be upset over. It was sweet he would think such a thing.
“Anything for you.”
We sat in each other’s presence as we both calmed down from the sincere confession. Hades’ burden was lifted, but I feel like it wasn’t everything in my own heart. He was just now calming down, so I would bring it up another time. Every time I asked him a serious question, he would always give me an honest answer.
“I have another surprise for you,” his voice a bit raspy from being silent. My ears perked up as I bit my l*p.
“Oh? Just like the one I just had?” trying to keep my excitement to a minimum but failing miserably, his smile became a side one. Hades started pulling down the sheet with which I had covered my breasts, but he was too quick.
“It was something else, but I don’t mind another surprise like this one,” my n*****s instantly hardened as he made me straddle my naked form across his lap. My face flushing red, he grabbed my bruised bottom l*p with his teeth and tugged while he g*****d.
“My flower wants to give me her aroma does she?” His fingers lightly touched my thighs as he danced around to the innermost part. “I want to do something different than before.” Hades’ k****s started nipping at my chest and right back up to my neck.
His fingers trailed closer to my core and parted my lower lips. My heart jumped as I felt him rub a finger close to my clit. Hands immediately went to his shoulders and around his neck. “I want to see how tight you are,” he kissed my neck as he pried my lips open. “I want to see how much stretching I’ll have to do to you.” Letting out a m**n, I felt one finger slip inside.
“f**k, so wet,” he took a large inhale. His finger curled inside, and I gripped him closer. His one finger began to pump inside me as I started riding his finger. “One more, flower. One more inside you.” Hades slipped in one more, and it was undoubtedly tighter. A good, slightly painful tight. My back arched backward has his finger thrusts went faster.
I really liked it as he pumped faster, and I buried my head in his neck. Nipping it, biting it, I felt like an animal. “Do you feel this?” his finger grazed my inner wall, deep inside. “I will take that from you and make you mine forever when I bury myself into your body.” The dominance he radiated over me threw me as I felt the pressure build. Hades held me closer as his one hand thrust into me harshly. My teeth began to itch; I had an overwhelming feeling of biting him.
The o****m shattered me as I threw my head back and his mouth immediately went to my breasts, sucking my n*****s harshly. He g*****d as I felt my teeth itch again, throwing myself into his neck and grazing his shoulder. His body trembled at the scratch I left him with my teeth, and my body collapsed. Hades’ was breathing hard, my juices were left all over his pants, and my teeths’ itch started to go away.
Both sets of my canines were elongated. Feeling them, I felt a sharp point on one of them. I glanced at the dresser mirror. I slapped my hand over my mouth, and Hades pulled away with worry. “Parisa? Parisa, what’s wrong?”
I pointed to my mouth and his shoulder; there were two long scratches left with b***d beading in some places. Hades’ laughed instead of getting angry like I thought he might.
“That was the hottest thing I had ever felt. This is a bit embarrassing, but I cumed without you touching me,” he let out a chuckle. My hand was still on my mouth as he tried to pull it away. “Parisa, it’s okay.” Reluctantly letting go, I touched my teeth again only to feel their normal bluntness.
“I, I thought I had fangs,” I rushed out. “I looked over at the mirror; they looked like fangs!” Panicking, I go to get off his lap, but Hades’ holds me down.
“You must have thought that after you bit me a little. There are no fangs in your mouth, and damn, you can bite me all you want.”
Hade’s smile led me to laugh as he pecked me on the forehead. I swore I saw some fangs. They looked so real. Unlike the demon fangs that I had seen, these were thicker, but they were undoubtedly sharp. Patting them a few times in my mouth and glancing back at Hades’ shoulder, I couldn’t understand how my blunt teeth could have done that.
“Now, uh, I do have a surprise for you, really,” Hades spoke up. I wiggled my eyebrows, and he playfully nuzzled into my neck. “What the hell am I going to do with you!?” He gave a heartfelt laugh as I wrapped my arms around him again.
“The rate you are going….” I teased while he put a finger up to my mouth to silence me. Hades was so playful when he wanted to be. Not being worried or upset about things, I was ready to see Selene and Hectate back, and he wouldn’t have to be too engrossed in work all the time.
“No, really. I have to go to the Celestial Kingdom and visit with my brother.” Hades’ tone went serious, and I stopped laughing. “He will be a deciding factor in how I want to proceed with this investigation on finding Selene and the Helm. I believe Nero took it, but I also believe that someone is coaxing him to commit the crimes.”
“Tell me what to do then; I want to help!” Hades shook his head and pulled me close.
“I want you to stay close to me, never leave my side, so I know you are protected.” I wasn’t about to go wander around some heaven area with a bunch of crazy mythical creatures anyway. “Do you understand?” I nodded into his chest.
“Go get dressed; we are going to arrive in style,” Hades gave a mega-watt smile as he patted my butt to go wash up.
