“I love my wife,” he said. “I’m just looking for sex.” “Is that all?” She batted her lashes and then spoke in a voice veiled with darkness and strong with promise. “In that case, when you return to your wife this evening, she will no longer desire you. She will cringe at your touch and gag when your lips touch hers. She will refuse you, she will leave you, and you will never recover.”

“I will answer it.” He met her gaze, challenging. “If you will answer a question for me.” Say yes, he silently begged, though he would never compel her. Say yes so I can learn all of you.

“Have you fucked my wife?” The question did not match Hephaestus’s cool composure or dispassionate tone, but Hades recognized himself in the God of Fire and knew that beneath his calm exterior, he was raging inside. “No.”

“Chains of Truth, Hades?” she asked, raising a brow. “Thanatos, what do you think of Hades’s hair?” The God of Death’s eyes widened in fear, and when he spoke, it was like the words had been torn from his throat. “It’s a mess. A complete contradiction to his pristine appearance.” Hecate’s smile widened, and Hades glared at the two.

“Tell me you want me.” He needed to hear her say it, because he had not completely told the truth. Words did matter, and the only ones he had heard since the night before were the ones she’d spoken on the steps of the baths. I don’t want you. “I want you.”

He was not doing a good job focusing on the words coming out of her mouth. The only one he really heard was we, and she kept using it. He wanted to use it, too. We should go to bed. We should make love for hours.

Beside him was Artemis, to her great dismay, as no one got along with Ares. Her throne was simple, a gold-toned half-moon. Beside her sat Apollo, whose seat mimicked the sun’s rays in the form of a glimmering aureole circling behind him.

“Come to apologize?” he asked her. “Fuck you,” she replied. “He’s done that,” Hermes commented, sidling past them, white wings dragging the ground. He looked ridiculous, bare chested, wearing only a gold shroud over his waist. “It must not have been very good, because I don’t believe he ever went back.”
