After a few hours of making my way around the room and going along with the party, I retreated to my room for the night feeling more confused and defeated than ever.Not a single person had cooled me, all of them as hot as Hades.I plopped on my bed, completely bare as tears streamed down my warm cheeks.My body burned painfully, the temperature burning me from the inside out and with nothing for even the slightest relief, all I could do was take it.I tried one last time, playing with myself as I envisioned my times with Crimson and Beau but in the end, I simply curled into a ball and cried until I could cry no more and darkness wasn't long pulling me into a restless sleep.************************************************Temptress....Temptress?"Temptress, wake up!"I woke with a gasp as two cold hands pressed against my burning my body and as my eyes flew open, I frowned."Damien?" I questioned."Who else?" he replied rolling his eyes.I smiled and without another thought I stood
"You need to get out of here." I state as soon as I open the bathroom door."I thought of a plan... neither of us are going to like this but hear me out." he states in return."Just wait." I say with a sigh.I shut the bathroom door and place a towel by the crack under it before turning the shower on at full force."What is it?" I ask."I don't think you needed to do all that, these walls are much more soundproof than you realize." he states and I roll my eyes."I could be tested at any time and who knows what he could hear. I don't want to take any risks." I say and he smirks."How do you know I'm not a test?" he asks intrigued."Because you're cold, no one could have planned that. So, what's your brilliant plan that we will both dislike?" I reply and he smirks."I'm going to help you. I'll help take care of your current state, then I'll go get Levi to return to the others and I will stay here with you. Once you have the information you need, we leave." he states, and my eyes widen i
Damien was shockingly kind enough to clean me up and help dress me into some light pjs before carrying my tired exhausted body back out to the bed where he tucked my now chilled body in before placing the gentlest of kisses on top of my head."Just so you know... You're welcome to fuck me like that anytime you want." I murmured giving a tired smirk as my eyelids felt heavy."Be careful, Temptress. I'll be back soon, get some rest." He simply replied before going behind the large curtains and all I heard was the sound of a door opening and shutting before dozing off to sleep.************************************"Mila... don't do it. Don't listen to such a monster. Let me go and I'll protect you." Zeus's voice pleaded.I stood in a large luxurious old-style bedroom, Zeus was securely shackled to his bed and I was within arm's reach of his most prized possession."He's treated me quite well for a monster. I think the part of him you speak of is the part you helped create. You see, Hades
"Damien?" I called out quietly as I looked around the room.I frowned as I realized he wasn't here.Going over to the same curtains he had left out of, I pulled them open to see a glass door.Opening it though I quickly realized it led to nothing. I looked down seeing the depths of darkness and let out a sigh before walking back over to the bed, leaving the door open.I definitely had to get out of here before this ceremony. There was absolutely no way I could go through with this.I knew his plan now and there was no need to stick around a second longer but with Damien now nowhere to be found, how would I leave?I had no idea how to make my wings pop out, let alone use them. I didn't know which river would take me back and that was if I could even there without getting caught which would extremely difficult considering there was always someone outside my door prowling the hall.I got up and began pacing the room and didn't stop until I was completely exhausted.Retreating to the bed,
"So...ah... what now?" I mumbled as I sat down on a surprisingly smooth large rock near the water."I'm going to go let Salem and Lucien know where we are and get some supplies. In the meantime, you can learn to use your wings and get some fruits picked." Levi states and I raise my brows."I have not even the slightest clue on how to even get these wings to come out!" I hiss making him chuckle."Figure out... I'll give a hint though. Climb a tree and jump, instinct should trigger them to come out automatically." he replies, and I nod my head."Thanks..." I say."Be cautious, we still don't know they found her last time, they could be watching one of us and the last thing we need is them following you back." Damien states cutting in."I know, I'm going to wait till night then I'll get Lucien and tell Salem to leave after, so we don't draw attention. We won't bring Crimson or Beau or tell them where we are. The less who know right now the better." Levi replies and Damien nods in agreeme
After a warm bath to soak my sore back, I wrapped a towel around myself, drying off and pulling on one of Salem's shirts that was long enough to cover my butt before making my way to the small living room where Damien sat by the fireplace on the large soft fur rug.Sitting down next to him, I held my hands towards the fire to warm them."I had a lot of fun today, thank you for teaching me and helping so I could see the whole area." I murmur softly and I look over at him to see his lips pulled into a thin line before he slowly nods his head."I'll admit... it was fun. Seeing you fail and needing help was quite amusing." he said, smirking at the end and making me roll my eyes."Although... I do still think you owe me a proper thank you and a good one at that. I did save your life, after all." he states his smirk widening but I only smirk seductively in return."Your right... and I think I know exactly, how to thank you..." I murmured biting my lip, teasingly."How is that...? Temptress?
"Don't you dare go to sleep, Temptress." Damien's voice hissed deeply making my eyes flew back open."Mmhmm." I manage to murmur too tired to actually talk.I felt him move and push us up before standing up with me in his arms, supporting all my weight.My eyes began to droop once again as he begins to move and as I start to let myself drift off, a sharp sting to my ass has my eyes open, once again.I open my mouth to tell him off but instead a sharp hiss left my lips as ice cold water suddenly covered me from head to toe."Awake now?" he grumbles as he gently set me on my shaky legs and began to clean my body.My teeth instantly began chattering and I grabbed onto the bar to keep myself up as my legs began to tremble more from cold and all I could do was shoot daggers at him to show my displeasure.After a few minutes he turned some warm water on and cleaned himself up before taking me out and drying me off and pulling another one of Salem's shirts on me and pulling on a pair of Levi
"I see you two got into the good stuff." Salem smirked taking in the sight before him.I smiled excitedly, jumping off the couch and running as fast as my drunken legs would take me.As soon as I was in arms reached, Salem opened his arms and I eagerly jumped into them wrapping my arms and legs around him, catching him off guard.Nearly knocking him over, he quickly caught himself as he wrapped his arms around my waist and laughed."I missed you and you're cooking." I murmur holding him tightly.Seeing Salem was like a breath of fresh air, I hadn't known I needed."I missed you too, Angel." he chuckles."How's Crimson? Beau?" I ask as he sets me back down."Both good and miss you, of course. They're going to hell so that they can go to the library there, Crimson thinks she may be able to find something to help since we can't hide you forever. Until then, though. She enchanted this ring for you, as long as you wear it you will be safe from anyone trying to get in contact with you throu
