Excerpt
“Feeling
lonely?”
The
two words were whispered so quietly, he wasn’t sure he actually heard them or
if it was a culmination of what he had been thinking pushed the idea into his
head. Casting a quick look around
the cavernous room revealed no one else was there, but neither did he consider
himself lonesome. Usually whenever
he was in this room, he was surrounded by a crowd of people, many who were
looking for something from him. The
one good thing about being alone was that it rarely happened and it allowed him
to think about what he wanted to reflect further upon, not what others put in
front of him.
Relaxing
back against the back of his throne, he took another drink from his cup and
closed his eyes to savor the peace and quiet.
Except
for his dislike of this particular day, his life was actually pretty good.
There was nothing he lacked, although there were mistakes he’d made in
the past, a few he wished he could go back and do over again.
“No
women for the God of the Universe on Valentine’s Day?”
“Who
is there?” A mere mortal
couldn’t survive the wrath of his voice, much less the glare in his eyes as he
stood up and searched the corners of the room.
Whoever was out there had invaded his private time and he wouldn’t
allow that to go unpunished. “Show
yourself immediately or I’ll—”
“You’ll
what?”
From
behind the last column at the far end of the room stepped a delicate figure in a
bright blue short chiton. Because of
the lighting and distance between them, he couldn’t see the woman well enough
to identify her by name, but he was able to see enough for his cock to stiffen
between his legs.
“Who
are you?” Now that he knew it was
a beautiful woman, Zeus asked for help in identifying his visitor.
Already he was turning away from intimidation and looking toward
seduction. Hopefully The Fates would
be too busy working on another string to see how his was changing.
“You
know who I am, lover.”
“Lover?
We’ve been together before?”
“Yes,
we have.” The woman stopped moving
and bowed to him. Instead of the
usual gold rope twining around and through her dark brown hair, there was
something white and fluttered in the light breeze.
The more he saw of her, the more intrigued he was to discover everything.
“Don’t you remember me, Zeus?”
