“Leave, Ivy,” he snapped suddenly.

The dryad went silent, her eyes widened, and instead of fleeing, she froze.

“Now,” he gritted out.

She left quickly, and Hades braced his other hand behind Persephone’s head, and when she looked up at him, he felt a rush of heat ignite his body. This was one of the most erotic experiences of his life, looking down at this woman who he loved, his cock swollen and filling her mouth.

“Take all of me.”

She nodded and braced her hands behind his thighs,widening her mouth as he leaned back and let his hips surge forward. The head of his cock hit the back of her throat, and she gagged but held on tighter.

“Yes, like that.”

He continued making slow, steady work of the passage of her throat, feeling her gulp and gasp around him, and when he came, she swallowed him whole.

When they were finished, she rested her head on his lap, and he smoothed her hair. His body felt light, almost weightless.

“Are you well?”

“Yes,” she said quietly. “Tired.”

Her lips were wet and deliciously swollen.

“Tonight, I will make you come just as hard.”

“In your mouth or around your cock?”

She posed the question with a raised brow, and Hades felt his cock twitch.

“Both.”

He adjusted himself, needing to leave soon. He rose to his feet and brought her with him.

“I know you are having a hard day. I hate to leave, but I came to tell you I will be meeting with Zeus.”

“Why?” she asked warily. The air between them was suddenly heavy with dread.

“I think you know. I hope to secure Zeus’s approval for our marriage.”

“Will you confront him about Lara?”

“Hecate already has,” he said, guessing she had yet to see the jar of blood the goddess had collected from the god. “It will take a good two years before his balls grow back.”

“She…castratedhim?”

She definitely hadn’t seen it, then.

“Yes, and if I know Hecate, it was bloody and painful.”

“What good is his punishment if he can just regenerate?”

“It is a power that cannot be taken away, I am afraid. But at least, for a little while, he will be…less…of a problem.”

Though Hades had to admit that he dreaded this confrontation more, knowing his brother would not be in a good mood given his current state.

“Unless he denies our marriage,” she said, and he liked the threat in her voice.

“There is that.”
