Hades (16 page)

“Hey, Doc, did you hear we might have another
couple?” Cherish asked.

“No, I’ve not had a chance to catch up on
everything lately with all the missions.”

“One of the gods is dating one of the
cleaning ladies. He says she’s his mate, but she is hesitant,
something about just getting out of an abusive relationship. I’ve
heard that she was actually working for one of the largest cleaning
services in the US. You know the one that has the commercial ‘we
keep it clean so you don’t have to’. Anyway, she was very high in
their management but the ex boyfriend was her boss. She put in a
bid here and beat them out right under their nose. Now she runs the
cleaning here independently under contract.”

“Really?” Doc asked almost dizzy from trying
to keep up with all the information Cherish was imparting at a
really fast pace.

Cherish hadn’t had friends or the opportunity
to talk to anyone much since her dad had died and now she was
making up for it. She was a sweetheart but Doc wasn’t much of a
talker most of the time. She was however interested in another
mating but she didn’t need all the personal details. She’d talk to
Zeus about getting the new couple tested. They needed all the
information they could get on this phenomenon to help with
Poseidon’s situation and any others that might come up.

Other than researching the mating event in
general, Doc hoped things would settle down. Origin had taken
several hard hits both to personnel and facilities and equipment.
It would be hard for them to organize an attack or an abduction of
any kind so she hoped that she and Hades would be excluded from any
more of the missions Zeus had planned. She didn’t think Hades had
enjoyed the missions much either. Some of the more rambunctious and
less settled gods could take his place. That would include most of
them.

She knew that Ares was due back anytime and
the next mission would be selected as soon as he was. Way was so
lucky she was a civilian now and there wasn’t a reason to send her
and Apollo on a mission. Doc was sure sending her with Hades had
been Zeus’s way of interfering and it had worked. A thought began
to take hold, she felt like an evil genius and a chuckle broke
loose. She fought the desire to look around while rubbing her hands
together. Sierra would be her best ally so she caught her eyes and
motioned to her. They both slipped to another table, one far enough
away from others that their conversation wouldn’t be heard even by
the god’s sensitive hearing.

“Okay, you look like you just laid the golden
egg. What’s up, Doc?”

“An old joke that I see you haven’t grown
tired of.”

“And I never will.”

“Apollo and Way got together but she’s
refusing to move forward. I think she needs a little push.”

“Just like you did, huh?”

“Exactly like I did.”

“Zeus will never be able to find an excuse to
send her away with Apollo…unless you already found one?” Sierra
noticed the triumphant look on Doc’s face before she even finished
talking.

“Yes, I figured out the perfect plan. We have
the new hotline going and the New Year’s Ball is coming up. What
could we really use now?”

“I…”

“Publicity, that’s what.”

“Why did you even bother asking if you were
just …”

“Way can go along with Apollo on the next
mission to show how mistreated some of the gods have been by
Origin. She can take pictures, maybe even film part of the rescue.
They’ll be stuck together, the hotlines will light up, and if
there’s a ticket to the ball left, it’ll be gone before the show is
over. That’s not even mentioning if Zeus decides to sell the
footage Way takes.”

“Okay, I’m seeing it, but why tell me first?
I’m sure Zeus will be all over this. It helps on so many
levels.”

“You’re forgetting how much he values
privacy. Not just his own, but he values that of his brother’s even
more.”

“I see what you mean. Those on the tapes will
have to agree to it being shown. He wouldn’t even consider it any
other way.”

“Talk to him tonight. Even if they never use
the footage, it will bring Apollo and Way together.”

“Or drive them further apart.”

Doc had to admit Sierra had a point. She
couldn’t guarantee what might happen with all the unforeseeable
circumstances that might be thrown their way. All they could do is
give it their best shot and see if it forced Way to admit that she
really wanted the sun god.

“Either way, it needs to be settled.”

“Oh, by the way, Zeus is giving another
interview to that magazine. You know, the one that interviewed him
before the Halloween ball. Cher and Hermes are going to have drinks
and popcorn in the little surveillance room off the meeting room if
you want to come watch with us.”

“Sure, do you think it will be
interesting?”

“Zeus hated the last interview and the
reporter went for blood but he fended her off. It should be fun to
watch him put her in her place.”

“When is this going to happen?”

“Tomorrow at ten a.m., so don’t be late,”
Sierra said as she headed back to join Zeus and Doc moved back to
Hades’s side. Hades moved his hand down to rest it on her thigh.
The only thing she could think about was getting Hades back to
their room so she could fuck him. She thought the conversation
would never end, but finally, she had his hand in hers as she led
him down the hall to their room.

As soon as the door was closed, she jumped
into Hades’s arms. He pulled her tight and kissed her hard and
fast. “I think I’d like to take a shower with my mate before we go
to bed.” Hades had need shining in his eyes.

“That sounds wonderful. I’ll wash you first.”
Doc took off to the bathroom with him right behind her.

She turned on the shower but as she started
to step into it, Hades pulled her into his arms grabbing her wrists
and holding them behind her back lightly. He stepped into the
shower with her, the water rained over them softly, wetting them
all over.

“I can’t wait,” he growled in her ear causing
a shiver of desire to run from her head to her toes. He spun her
around pressing her face up against the shower wall as he lifted
her off the tile floor and he slid his rock hard shaft into her
slick channel easily. “So wet, just for me!”

Her vaginal muscles gripped him trying to
hold him in place as he moved in and out despite the tightness that
caused. She felt so near her release, his desperate need for her
turned her on and the feel of his long, thick shaft drove her to
the edge. He held her still as he plumbed her depths driving them
both closer to what they wanted. She could feel his breath in her
ear as he panted. The damp heat of it made her break out in goose
bumps. He drove in almost savagely trying to push her into her
climax so he could follow. Right now she wanted nothing more.
Just a little bit!

He hammered and pivoted, hitting a couple
spots she was unused to, but it felt so good. “Cum for me, Baby.
You’re killing me,” he whispered roughly as he slammed in the
hardest yet. He drilled into her a few more times before her body
froze as she felt pure delight. She squeezed him tight as she
jerked trying to get closer to him. She felt the heat of his
release shoot into her in wave after wave. He jerked a few more
times and then he slowly let her slide to the floor, but he still
held her so she wouldn’t fall. His arms were wrapped around her
while her ragged breath slowly calmed. The pounding of her heart
eased while her body came under control.

It was a few moments before her brain came
back on line and as she turned to look at him, it seemed he had
fared no better. She remembered they had intended to clean up, so
she pumped out some soap and began to wash her mate. He shivered
and moaned softly as she washed his body and his hair. He returned
the favor so they could dry off and get to sleep. The explosive
climax they had each had, wore them both out and they needed sleep
more than anything. Before she closed her eyes, she remembered Cher
had a check up at eight a.m. in the morning. She hoped she would
wake up in time because right now she was too tired to move or care
enough to set an alarm.

She felt something hot and wet on her chest.
She opened her eyes to look and her mate was sucking in one hard
aching peak. Her nipple disappeared into his mouth while his
glowing eyes stayed locked on hers. She shivered as his hand moved
toward her thighs and she felt moisture pool there in anticipation
of what he would do next. As his hand softly cupped her mound, she
moaned, it was barely a whisper.

His fingers impaled her, dragging a louder
groan from her and she arched toward him as her legs fell open
giving him greater access. He slid his body down hers until his
face was even with his hand and he watched his fingers sliding in
and out with great interest. He lowered his face and his tongue
slid out and licked circles around her clit. She whispered his name
as her hands slid through his hair.

His fingers sped up as his tongue worried her
button over and over. His fingers were moving hard and fast and his
tongue pressed harder. When he sucked her clit into his mouth
lightly, it was all over but the scream which came out of her mouth
as she clenched on his fingers and bucked against him. His smile
was pure pleasure and manly satisfaction. He knew he had given her
pleasure, knew how to give her pleasure anytime he wanted to.

He slid up her body driving his aching cock
into her core in one hard stroke. Her legs wrapped around him to
pull him in deeper. “Aw, yes,” she encouraged him. “Fill me up,
Baby.”

He heard her and he responded by pumping hard
and fast, going as deep as he could to give her even more pleasure.
This time he wanted them to go together and they would. He pounded
into her, their bellies slapping together sounding out the rhythm
of their sexual harmony. She was making sweet sounds, whimpers and
moans, that showed she was getting ready to explode. Once she went
he knew he would be right behind her. He was ready, so he picked up
the speed, expertly giving her what she needed. She was so tight,
hot, and wet, he could ask for nothing more.

He changed his angle as he drove into her, he
was a constant surprise. He pivoted back and forth hitting spots
that brought a shot of pleasure to her. She almost hummed with it,
needing and wanting to find her release and give him his. She
squeezed her muscles tight, he shuddered but kept hammering her.
She squeezed them again and he groaned. She squeezed one more time
and he exploded so hard she could feel him pulse inside her. It
pushed her over the edge and she felt like she was drowning in
pleasure.

Once the tremors stopped, Hades rolled them
over so they were on their sides facing each other. She started to
go to sleep, but he smacked her on her ass and it stung
slightly.

“What was that for?”

“You have an appointment with Cher this
morning.”

“I know, but it wouldn’t be a big deal if I
were late.”

“Female, you are never late. What’s up with
you this morning?”

“Maybe I’m just taking time to smell the
roses.”

“One of your quaint sayings?”

“Yes, but it means to take the time to
appreciate the people and things that mean the most to us. You,
Babe, mean a lot to me.” Doc leaned over kissing her mate, then she
hopped out of bed to take a shower and get dressed. If he thought
the abrupt change in her behavior odd, he didn’t show it.

Her feelings for Hades grew stronger
everyday, but he was right about her responsibilities and she
needed to get to her appointment. It was no surprise that Cher was
waiting for her when she arrived. She wasn’t late, but Cher was
usually just a bit early.

“How have you been feeling?” Doc asked
her.

“Tired, horny, and emotional. Hermes doesn’t
seem to mind the horny part.”

“All three will probably only grow worse as
you get farther along. I thought we’d take an ultra sound and get
our first look at the baby.”

“I was hoping you’d suggest that. I can’t
wait to see the tiny thing.”

“Okay, lean back a little, and pull up your
shirt. I’m gonna squirt just a little of this gel on you. It might
be cold.”

Cher squeaked. “Might be cold? What do you
do, keep in refrigerated?”

“Look, see there? That’s your baby.”

“Bigger than I thought. What are we at, six
weeks?”

“Tops, but your baby will grow much quicker.
It will be just under twice the growth rate of a full human. Your
baby looks more like ten weeks than six. Just be careful after the
baby’s born and don’t get pregnant right away like Sierra. She’s
around seven weeks already and if anything, her baby seems to be
growing faster this time than last. These babies grow so quick
you’ll really need the time in between to heal.”

“Are you sure birth control will work?”

“Condoms will, but gods don’t like to use
them.”

“That just makes them typical guys, doesn’t
it?”

“You have a point. Everything looks good, I
can’t tell the sex this time, but maybe next time if you want to
know. I did a cutting edge blood test on Sierra, that told us she’s
having a boy, but I’d rather not do it on you unless I have to. I
ran the test on Sierra because her babies growth rate is so fast
and I’m concerned with her nursing and no time between babies. It
wasn’t really to find out the sex, but it did and they wanted to
know.”

“I don’t mind waiting. I just want a happy
healthy rug rat. Hermes said he doesn’t care either because he
wants to have a house full. I told him let’s take it one at a time.
You and Hades planning to get started or you going to wait?”

“We haven’t done anything to prevent it, but
we’ve not really discussed it. He’s not much of a talker, you know
what I mean?”

Cher giggled. “That can be a good thing
sometimes.”
