Hephaestus Lays Down the Law

published by Tease Publishing

Being one of the powerful twelve Olympians, God of the Forge and Master of Fire, meant his life was pretty good, but Hephaestus knew it could be better.  Work was going well, unfortunately his wife was cheating on him, and he can't take it any longer.   

Known as an even tempered god didn't mean he couldn't start a war.  This particular skirmish is personal, between he and wife.  If he wins, then he keeps everything, including his heart intact, but if he loses, then he'll walk away from Aphrodite, the Goddess of Love and Beauty, for good.  

Can he really walk away from the most beautiful woman to ever exist?

Reviews

Greek gods and the other entities of Mt. Olympus deserve love too but when they go about finding their significant others they discover that even gods don’t have true love handed to them on a silver platter.

Reviewed by Chrissy Dionne, 5 blue ribbons, Romance Junkies

Mythology is the inspiration for this collection, which resonates with lust, love and liaisons. These seven tales offer fresh takes on the gods, portraying them as flawed individuals with the same desires as the mortals they hunger for. Their randy love-play, include ménages and orgies, makes for a titillating read.

Love’s Immortal Pantheon takes a look at some of the known and not so known gods and goddess and just what they are getting up to.  I truly enjoyed the majority of the stories written by some good authors.  Placing the entire anthology around the gods and goddesses of the Pantheons was a great starting point.  Love’s Immortal Pantheon gives a look at how the residents of Olympus find a great love to last the ages.

Excerpt

For long periods of time he worked over a roaring fire.  There were certain limitations in what he did, and because he didn’t like being uncomfortable while there in the forge, he chose to wear only a heavy leather apron to protect his flesh from flying sparks and out of control flames.  Sweat covering his bare body became both his nemesis and a lure.  The down side was the slickness made it difficult to hold onto whatever he was working on.  On the other side, the physical labor his work required had made his body well-muscled. 

In the beginning of their relationship, he often caught his wife watching him work with lust in her gaze.  These incidents had usually led to wild sex games they both enjoyed.  Now, she only stopped by the forge not to admire his fit physique, but to apologize for fucking another man. 

It was all so infuriating.  Why did she do this to him?  Didn’t she find him appealing anymore?  It certainly seemed as if she liked him well enough whenever they were together, although that wasn’t nearly as often as he’d like.  Up until now, he hadn’t thought about being unhappy in his marriage.  Despite his misshapen leg that caused others to cringe, she’d married him, and freely came to his bed where there was always pleasure for them both.  Surely these weren’t the actions of someone who didn’t enjoy what they had together. 

With one last hit, he’d finished making the thunderbolt shape, and plunged it into a vat of cold water.  Steam and a sizzling hiss filled the air around him.  This final step would set its unique character before he added the fire element.  Later it would be up to his three assistants to insert the thunder, lightning, and intensity, bringing them together in each piece of metal, becoming a perfect thunderbolt for Zeus to throw. 

Hephaestus saw nothing wrong with being a calm, good natured, type of person.  Anger didn’t get him anywhere.  Besides, he was too big and powerful to allow rage to rule his emotions.  Someone with his strength could easily hurt another, permanently.  While he made things that killed and maimed, he wouldn’t do it personally.

Since his difficult childhood, he focused on keeping his emotions in check.  Up until now, it had been easy for him to do.  Without any warning, the grip he had on his more volatile feelings started to loosen.  He grabbed his stick, used it to knock a stool out of his way, and started pacing the workshop.  Circling pits full of roaring fires and lengths of various raw materials, he knew they were ready to be changed into something useful, except his mind was firmly settled on his wife, Aphrodite. 

This was the last straw in their relationship.  No longer would he stand by while she played these games.  Not with him.  He was tired of them and how they made him feel, useless and lacking in the sex department.  From the first incident between her and a mortal man of all things, having sex by some river, he’d put up with her extramarital activities. 

Well, no longer.
