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?”
