Adriane

When Fire Fades

The water is cascading down my body and it feels so amazing.

I want to sit under the spray and close myself off, but Kai is waiting on me.

I just want a quick shower to get the dirt and tears off me.

I’d love to bleach my entire body and my brain because when my eyes close, I recall what Hades did to me.

All the horrors I saw play on a constant loop in my mind.

There is no evidence of what I went through besides the tattoo and my memory.

I shudder at the thought of Hades’ hands touching me.

I scrub my body as if I could take off layers of my skin and it turns red.

I turn the water hotter, hoping to burn the images from my mind.

My back still tingles, though I know it’s only phantom pain.

Tears are coming and I try to keep my sobs quiet because I don’t want Kai to hear.

I need to hurry. Kai wants me to eat, and I didn’t tell him what his father did, because I won’t risk him or Jax, so I keep it to myself.

I’m raw inside and out, I have been through so much in a matter of hours.

I remember thinking once I became an adult that I would never be in the same position I was when I was a child, but that was stupid because this was the worst I have ever had to endure.

Tears trail down my face, and I want to hold them back, but they just keep coming.

I remember that person boiling in oil over and over, and the skin just peeling away from their bones.

I scrubbed the back of my neck as soon as I was alone. I looked in the mirror and saw the tattoo. It’s a dolphin trapped in a net, and the meaning is obvious.

He has trapped me, taken my freedom. I am his.

Kai’s secrets play in my mind; they have left me even more gutted. I never cared enough to ask for someone’s personal story before because I knew I never stuck around long enough to care.

That pull was there for Jax and Kai. I have been through enough in my life that I wasn’t stupid enough to ignore the instinct that pulled me towards them.

At first, I fought it. But now I know these gods and I see why I get this tug towards them.

Jax is someone I trust fully. I know he will be there through thick and thin.

Kai is my other half, he makes me whole.

Reaching out, I turn the water off and push open the glass door.

Kai is standing there with a towel in his hands.

He moves towards me, drying my face. Pulling the towel away he gives me a light kiss as he wraps the towel around my body.

This is it! My life forever.

Hades wants me at his side, so I don’t know how all this is going to work. I mentally shake my head because I am not thinking of that tonight, we can figure it out another time. I move towards the door.

“Wait,” Kai says and grabs my hand, pulling me towards him.

“What’s wrong?” I ask. There is a black shirt in his hand .

“Jax is waiting for us to eat together,” he says, helping me into the shirt.

“Plus, we all need to talk and afterwards, I promise I will put you to bed.” He kisses my forehead, but I notice something flash in his eyes.

The forehead kiss is so nice. I once heard that when someone kisses you like that it means they care for you.

It’s seen as a sign of respect and adoration.

Joy courses through my body because I have earned a place in his life.

He kneels to put the boxer briefs on me as I step into them.

“Jealousy,” I say out loud not meaning to, but that was what flashed in his eyes. His hands tighten around my leg as he slides his boxer briefs on me. “Kai, are you jealous?”

He pulls them up as he stands, flipping me around to face away from him and holding me against his chest. “Haven’t you noticed yet that gods and goddesses are jealous creatures?

” he growls in my ear. His warm soft breath sends a trickle of longing down to my pussy and I start to get wet.

His smell is so intoxicating, I ache for him.

I lean my head back to look at him. He is smirking at me as one of his hands presses into my stomach under the shirt and the other one he places around my neck.

I squeeze my legs together to fight the yearning I feel.

That smirk grows as he notices my legs and I’m sure he can see the heated look in my gaze.

I realize that Kai is the person I’d pick even if I wasn’t here in the Underworld, so maybe in a strange way I am lucky they brought me here because if not, I’d have gone my entire life without feeling this.

This is the moment you see in the movies, the one when it all dawns on you.

Funny, I never saw this happening to me and yet here I am.

Maybe Kai doesn’t even care for me the way I care for him, but with my end looming, why not just take the moments that I can and live?

He is a god and I am a mortal, because sure I have the Delphin gene in me, but that does not make me immortal.

One of his fingers glides across my neck, sending pleasure rushing to my pussy. I want to moan. “Possessiveness is what I feel for you too, not just jealousy, Skoteino,” he whispers in my ear as he kisses me right below my earlobe and licks that soft spot there.

So he is jealous and I don’t know why, but it brings me joy.

The hand he has on my stomach moves further downward, slipping under the boxer briefs.

“Do you want me to stop, Skoteino?” he whispers again in my ear.

I shake my head no and he chuckles darkly.

“Say it, I want to hear you. Tell me not to stop.” His voice is so husky that I tremble in his arms.

“I don’t want you to stop,” I say and my voice comes out breathless.

He needs no more invitation than that. He moves his hand down to my pussy, inserting one finger inside me, and I moan so loudly.

“You’re so wet,” he says beside my ear as he pushes another finger inside of me.

His other hand makes its way around my neck as his fingers move faster and faster inside of me, and my orgasm builds.

“Tell me you’re mine.” His voice is so husky and I know he is getting off on this.

Right now I would give anything just to have this release. I bite my lip and he growls in my ear.

My legs are shaking and my pussy is pulsing and I know I’m right there.

Fuck it, I am his and I know it, so I throw caution to the wind and wet my lips with my tongue and open my mouth.

“I’m yo—” I am cut off by someone pounding on the door and Kai removes his fingers from inside me.

I let out a whimper before he releases my neck and kisses me.

I was so close. To have it torn away...I could murder whoever is on the other side of that door .

“What the fuck, guys? I’m right here and Ade isn’t quiet. Or I can go to my room,” Jax says through the door.

Kai pulls away from me, walking towards the door.

He looks back at me as he sticks his fingers in his mouth and sucks the taste of me from his fingers.

The lust in his eyes has me almost cumming.

“We’re on our way out, asshole. Give us a second,” Kai says through the door.

“Seriously, be careful, you just denied Adriane the second or third best orgasm of her life.”

He turns to look at me and I laugh. He is smirking at me with that cocky grin. “We both know your number one best orgasm was our first time in that shower,” he points out, throwing a wink my way. I stop laughing because he isn’t wrong, that orgasm was mind blowing. I make my way over to him.

Ok, he wants to play. I am going to show him precisely what I can do.

I look up at him through my lashes as I get closer to him, running my finger along my bottom lip.

He is staring at me and I reach out with my other hand, putting it on his chest, trailing up to wrap around the back of his neck.

I raise myself up on my tiptoes to reach his mouth, licking his lips with the tip of my tongue.

“You’re about to see what it means to be denied the best orgasm of your life,” I say seductively.

His eyes glow with lust and at once the shadows are around us again, but they are caressing me.

A shudder of pleasure runs through my body.

All the shadows I have felt have coldness, but Kai’s are more like tingles that cause pleasure everywhere they touch, it’s an amazing sensation.

I am guessing they can control how people feel the shadows because Hades’ were nothing like Kai’s.

I pull away, unbuckling his belt. His eyes never waver from mine.

“Don’t worry, Kai,” I say, biting the tip of my finger.

“I don’t bite hard, unless you ask me to.

” I unbutton his pants, pushing them down and putting my hand in his boxer briefs.

He is already so hard, I can’t even wrap my hand around his dick.

He is the biggest guy I have ever been with, and I moan as I push his boxers down.

I kneel, his eyes are dark with need and the shadows are pulsing.

I know he is excited, he loves knowing he has me on my knees in front of him.

As much as I have always hated allowing someone else to control me, with Kai, I’d let him have it.

Still looking into his eyes, I lick my lips.

I notice the pre-cum glistening on the tip of his dick and slowly lick it off before closing my mouth around it and gliding my lips down his hard, thick cock.

His hands are in my hair and he is looking me in the eyes as he fucks my mouth.

I moan because seeing how much he wants me, hearing my name come from his mouth, makes me want him so much more.

Knowing I am the reason he is making these sounds has me dripping.
