Hades

by Crystal Dawn

  “Grow up you guys,” he hollered at them. It would make no difference, they would do it again next time.

  Zeus and Sierra were already seated, he was at the head of the table with her on his right. Two extra chairs had been added making the chairs squeezed tightly around the table. Darius and his mate, who were both late already, would sit on the left of Zeus. Doc heard a noise and saw Darius come into view dragging his mate behind him. The gods greeting them as they passed by.

  She was a pretty little thing, just a little bigger than Cherish who at around five foot was tiny. Her hair was dark blue black, her skin snow white especially in contrast with most gods who tended to have darker complexions. Her eyes were grey and big as saucers. She didn’t seem scared so much as curious. Darius moved her to his side in a protective move, as if anyone here would harm her. He stopped at the head of the table right by Zeus who had stood up to greet him and his mate.

  “Zeus, this is my mate, Gypsy. Gypsy, this is my brother and our leader Zeus.” Darius made his introductions to all of those that sat close to him and his mate. Doc examined her as she spoke to Zeus and Sierra, her name fit her well. She decided Gypsy would fit in just fine. The noise in the cafeteria returned to normal as everyone got back to their meals.

  Once everyone was through eating, the cafeteria emptied out. Darius and Gypsy stayed to talk to the other mated couples, all of which were present. The talk naturally turned to schooling the children, especially the young gods they had just freed. Darius had finally relaxed enough to sit back and allow her to carry on a conversation without hovering and Gypsy seemed excited at the prospect of helping to start a school.

  “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.”

  Doc sighed. “It can make him hard to understand, too, though. That’s not always good. You can go now and I’ll see you in the surveillance room later.”

  Cher nodded as she headed out the room. Doc wondered how long before Darius’s mate came to her. Cher and Sierra had both gotten with child the first time or two they had had sex with their mate. It was that aggressive sperm combining with a compatible egg. It made her wonder if she might be pregnant already. She would wait until she saw signs before she checked. Why worry about it when there was so much to worry about already? She looked around her lab at all the equipment available to her that the average person didn’t have. She had some things the average doctor and even researcher didn’t have either. She hoped it would help her to get some answers soon.

  She cleaned up the room then went in the lab to check on tests she had r
unning on some samples. She wanted to do some research but there just wasn’t enough time before the interview Zeus had scheduled. She decided to put everything away which took less than five minutes before heading to the meeting early. She finished and closed the door behind her as she stepped out into the hall. She’d bet Cher was already there waiting for the rest of them.

  Hermes and Cher sat in front of the security screens. He was sitting in the middle chair with her in his lap. It made Doc feel like she was interrupting something even if they both acted glad to see her. They looked at the screen, the reporter had been late the first time she interviewed Zeus but now she was early. She was kind of pretty, with reddish blonde hair and brown eyes.

  “She represents World Matters Magazine and she’s their ace reporter. She can be a vicious bitch when she senses a secret. I’m not sure Sierra should watch this, I heard she was quite taken with Zeus last time she was here,” Cher said.

  “I didn’t hear anything about it,” Doc replied.

  “That’s cause you’re always in medical,” Hermes observed. He didn’t make it an accusation, to him it was just a fact.

  Doc noticed the reporter was attempting to flirt but Zeus was being cool. It still didn’t seem to prevent the girl, who had identified herself to Hades, who guarded the door, as Janice, from fluttering her eyelashes at Zeus. Doc had to admit that if she did that to Hades she might knock her teeth out. It was good that Sierra wasn’t there yet or bad things would probably happen. Uh, oh. Sierra walked in getting herself a cup of coffee and a donut.

  “I miss anything?”

  “Not really, the interview hasn’t started yet,” Doc said. It started right then and the girl changed into a consummate professional right in front of her eyes.

  “Hello, Zeus. I hope you remember me from our interview in October? I’m sure everyone remembers you.”
