It was said Hades liked a good bet and rarely accepted a wager other than the human soul.
Persephone had never been to one of Hades’s clubs, but she had to admit, she was curious—about the people who attended and the god who owned it.
Had she thought earlier that Adonis was the most handsome man she’d ever seen? She’d been wrong. That man was now staring at her.
He smirked, and she could feel it deep in her gut. “Darling, I win either way.”
“I think you will regret this, Hades.” She touched the flower, and Hades’s eyes followed the movement. When her fingers brushed the petals, the flower wilted.
“What liberties you take with my favor, Lady Persephone.” His voice was low—too low for this kind of conversation. It was the voice of a lover—warm and impassioned.
“Trust that I am devastated that you were hurt in my realm.”
Hades should have told you that. I will scold him later.” Persephone laughed at the thought of Hecate scolding Hades. “Can I watch?”
What does it take to gain the trust of the God of the Dead?” He responded simply, “Time.”
“Have you ever thought that maybe you’re mine instead?”
“Should I leave a mark?” she asked. “Careful, Goddess.” His words were a growl.
“There is no Goddess of the Underworld.” “The spot’s just vacant,” Lexa said.
“Darling, you are a goddess,”
“You walked into this room like you were his queen. You think he would let just anyone do that?”
“Lexa.” Persephone blushed. “What’s up?” “I was wondering if you guys wanted to watch a movie?” “Say no,” Hades whispered against her ear.
“What is the meaning of this, Kore?” It was time for Persephone to smile. “Oh, Mother. You don’t understand, but everything has changed.”
