This was my chance to prove that I can fit in, as well. As much as Persephone talked to me about being confident, I was still nervous. I was not undermining her struggle in any way, but she had an advantage on her side. Unlike me, she was a Greek goddess. The demons are wise enough to not mess with them.
It was not the same for me because I was just a mortal being for them. Most of them hated my kind, so it was difficult. No matter how hard I try to bond with them they will always consider me their enemy. If winning this tournament was a way to go, I had to prove myself. So when I noticed the number of games and contests I did not hesitate to enrol in almost half of them.
Lukas was hesitant about some of them considering my situation, but I was against it.
I felt nervous with all the stares on me. They were all staring at me simply because I was registering in a contest against Lord Yama. It made me feel on edge and like I was doing something I shouldn't be doing.
/Lukas POV/The moment we entered into the medical room, everyone was rushing to make way. Two of the nurses rushed outside with the stretcher. My stomach knotted at the sight of that. Never did I think that I would be back in between those white walls and stench of disinfectant."I'm so sorry" She whispered, her head falling on the chest.I shook my head, "Don't say anything. Nothing is going to happen to you.""I just wanted to impress..." Her words slurred as she was trying to hold on to my shirt. I tightened my grip around her."You did...You impress me every single day.""Really?"I sniffled, "Yes I am amazed by you every single day." 
I felt the heaviness behind my eyes as I tried to open them. My throat felt like sandpaper. Taking a deep breath, I decided to blink my eyes open. My eyes shifted to every corner of the unfamiliar room. Why was I here?Just then, I heard the door being pushed open. Lukas walked in along with Yama. I winced trying to sit up right on the bed. He came by my side and helped by fluffing the pillows, setting them against my back."Thanks" I whispered, leaning back."Do you need anything?" Lukas questioned plopping himself on the barstool in front of me. I hummed, staring at the water on the coffee table. It was out of my reach."Water please."Yama cleared his throat, "I'll get it."I arched my brow but kept quiet as
As I stood on the stage for receiving an award, I couldn't stop smiling. It felt like a massive thing for me. The murmurs and whispers had stopped as I stood on the podium next to Yama. He was beaming at me for beating him.Persephone was waiting for Hades. They both need to announce the winners. Even Lukas was nowhere to be found. I thought that hearing the announcement he would come back. I shifted on my feet, feeling all eyes on me.The shuffling sound from the gate made me lookup. Hades and Lukas were walking together. I let out a sigh. What took them so long?&nbs
/Lukas POV/Talia went pliant the moment I licked into her mouth, urging her to step closer. It did not matter that we were standing in a room full of hells elites. The moment my eyes fell on her, that's all I wanted to do. Kiss her senseless. I was so lost in moving my lips against her that it didn't register; she was gripping the lapels of my coat.The kiss was slick and urgent, as we both were putting all our passion and longing. It was filled with shiny quivering lips and little whimpers that spilt from our lips despite our best efforts to stay concealed.I used my right hand to cradle h
I whimpered, staring at him. For a few seconds, I stared at him without blinking my eyes. He felt like a dream. The disco lights streaming from the crack of the window made it seem like he was glowing. All his features were illuminated.My eyes shifted towards his large hands, softly stroking the side of my thighs. I lifted my head and met his eyes, a glint in them."Please give it to me."Lukas was easy to nod his head and sit back on his heels. My eyes automatically shut as I heard his elevated breathing. Suddenly everything felt too real, and my breath hitched in my throat. I let out a loud exhale, my heart racing
I couldn't stop thinking about the previous night. Lukas fell asleep even though he doesn't need sleep. Was he trying to avoid talking to me? The question made my stomach clench.I gripped the cup tighter, not bothering to take another sip. Suddenly I didn't feel like drinking it all. Anxiety bubbled in my stomach, and I could feel the clamminess in my hands. My breathing elevated as I stared at Lukas from the corner of my eyes. He was in blissful ignorance, enjoying the warm liquid. Was I the only one overthinking about it? It was just sex!
I felt Lukas eyes on me as we sat down for breakfast, a curious look on his face, "I thought you didn't like peaches."My face flamed at the mixed peach jam all around my mouth. I nodded my head, wiping the sticky substance from my top lip before responding. "I don't. But I think the baby likes it."I didn't even realise that I had picked the jar and scooped a dollop on my pancake. Was it my pregnancy brain? I questioned. Fortunately, Lukas didn't say anything and just smiled at me. He was so sweet to me.
