So why, why, why I had I never felt anything like what I had when Bella kissed me? Why had I never seen fire burn in Aphrodite’s eyes? Why had the drums of war never beat to the rhythm of my racing pulse when Aphrodite kissed me? Because whenever I was with Aphrodite, I was only aware of her. I was never aware of my own feelings or body. I always wanted more of her delight, her pleasure, her satisfaction, only considering my own release later.
Is Aphrodite using her powers on Ares? Is that why he only feels a desire to please her and nothing for her as a person?
