His Virtual Bride

"Nothing compared to what we could have done," Jove amended, his voice more reasonable than the Goddess'.
"Like what?" Glaring at Venus, then Jove, Mars went on. "Your blasted spaceship got her body. Your blasted Flight Commander got himself the perfect ladylove. What did Paris get? Nothing!"
Venus nibbled delicately on her bottom lip. "I suppose I could find your Marsienne a lover."
"She'd eat your namby-pamby Venusian for breakfast."
Jove cleared his throat. "Perhaps one of my Jovian warriors would satisfy, er, please her. We Jovians have certain advantages--"
"No! Find her a lover who doesn't remind her of your blasted turncoat, Geoff."
"Or what?" Venus challenged.
Mars rumbled, "War," then withdrew.
Jove chuckled.
"What's so funny about war?"
"Nothing. Nothing at all. I was just thinking about those Sednan twins Paris had in her bed."
"Too young," Venus said immediately. Tapping with one perfect nail, she mused aloud, "Perhaps a more mature Sednan."
"Or two mature Sednans. So long as they have stamina," Jove countered.
"Hmmm. Perhaps a mix of mature and young. Younger." Venus sighed wistfully.
"Perhaps we can discuss this later."
The Goddess slanted Jove a sultry look. "Perhaps we can." Allowing a smile to curve her lips, she reached across the miles that separated them. "Much, much later."
