“And I would tear the stars from the sky to see what you are capable of, Kore.”
She wanted him to rip the stars from the sky just to see what the sudden night would feel like.
If only she could stare into his eyes and see the woman he saw.
But there was a fire inside her that rivaled the sun itself.
They were two souls reaching out for each other, he supposed. And he could only be satisfied if he could bask in her sunshine forever.
She had a secret she held to her breast like a pearl within her shell. She clutched the knowledge of him with her entire soul and hoped that no one would ever find out. Hades was hers and hers alone.
He kissed her with a passion that stole her breath away. Hot breath poured into her own lungs, igniting a fire within. She burned. She ached.

If he could, he would have spent their entire evening counting them.
He was her heart. He was her soul.
“Time is nothing in comparison to the love I feel for you. You could be gone a century, and the fires would still be burning in my chest. I adore you,
