Adonis and Aphroditus Read online

  Chapter 5

  Mine

  The baby, unnamed for now, was in a baby carrier sleeping. Some forward thinking god had brought all the things babies and even the mothers would need so Adonis had been able to feed, change, and bathe his little girl. He’d put something warm on her even though they had also bought blankets to envelop the little ones so they would stay warm on the short walk to the god’s facility. None of those gassed had shown any sign of stirring but the readings on their bodily functions gave no cause for concern.

  He found himself holding the baby more often than not and the trusting little soul that snuggled up against him, made him feel a protectiveness like the one her mother had brought out in him. He held her with the utmost gentleness realizing she was fragile and not wanting to cause her even the slightest discomfort. He was proud of how easily he’d figured out the diaper changing, bottle feeding, and bathing of a baby. He planned to do his share when they set up their home. He would make himself indispensable to Lucy so she would accept him.

  He set the babe in her carrier and asked Hercules to watch her. It was time to check on her mother. He walked to the back of the plane and entered the bedroom. Lucy was sprawled on the bed and it appeared she was completely out still. He felt desire the second his eyes lit on her and it washed over him in waves. If she was awake, he wondered if she would have wanted him too. He moved closer to her and leaned in to brush his lips lightly over hers. That’s when she moved as if searching for his lips. She must be near waking and they were only halfway home. He’d hoped to be there before he had to deal with her ire.

  She moved restlessly, she would wake soon and he knew she would want to see the baby right away. Their baby, he had bonded with her too. He went back out to get their baby and took her back so when Lucy woke she could see her right away. He instinctively knew this was what Lucy would expect. He set the baby down where they could see her from the bed as she slept on. He stripped naked and crawled in bed with Lucy to take a nap knowing she would wake him as soon as she woke up herself. He moved up against her and wrapped himself around her. It wasn’t long and he was sleeping soundly next to her.

  The sound of a baby crying slipped into his mind and he woke instantly. Lucy was awake and holding their daughter but he thought the child was hungry. He stood and Lucy’s eyes slid down his naked form appreciatively. Maybe he could interest her in going back to bed once the babe was seen to. He put on his pants and went out to where the formula and diapers were kept to get whatever the baby might need. He had an armload of stuff as he headed back to Lucy and their baby.

  “I’m glad you were able to find the baby a bottle,” Lucy said with relief. She reached for the bottle and took it. The baby sucked on it greedily when the nipple came close enough. “Thank God that was what she needed.” Lucy started checking out her surroundings and she grimaced. “Where are we?”

  Adonis had hoped to put off this conversation for a little while. “We are on a plane, Mate.”

  “Wait a minute. I never agreed to leave town and what’s this mate business?”

  “Origin will be sending teams to check out the facility. They will attempt to find those who escaped from it. You would be a sitting duck, Sweetheart.”

  “I think I had a good plan prepared, you didn’t asked me what I wanted to do.”

  He shot her a hard look. “Maybe that’s because you were suppose to follow instructions and you didn’t. That caused you to be captured. If we hadn’t liberated you, you’d be dead or worse by now.”

  His words seemed to calm her down. “I’ll admit I messed up, but I had a plan of my own in place. I want to go back.”

  “You can’t.”

  “Excuse me? What the hell do you mean by no?”

  “I wish I could always tell you yes, mate, but this is one time I can’t. We’re on the way to Olympus and we’re past the hallway mark. If you want to return, you’ll have to speak to Zeus once we arrive.”

  “What the hell do you mean by mate?”

  “You are mine, my soul mate. Don’t you feel it? We’re tied together in the deepest possible way.”

  “No,” she denied shaking her head. “We just had sex, nothing more.”

  Adonis winked at her. “Keep telling yourself that, Babe.”

  “Oooh!” she screeched.

  Adonis chuckled. She was so cute when she was mad. He knew he wasn’t being smart by aggravating her, but he just couldn’t help it. Lucy busied herself with the baby and tried to ignore him but he was aware of the glances she shot his way.

  “So do you have a name?” he asked.

  “A name?” she asked.

  “For the baby,” he remarked.

  “Oh, I was thinking Paisley.”

  “Like the print?”

  “It’s spelled the same but it means from a glade. A glade can be a bright space and she’s my shining light. She gives my world meaning.”

  “That’s beautiful when you know what it means,” Adonis admitted. “Paisley.” The baby looked at him like she knew her name already.

  “Paisley Rose Ann Devlin, that’s her full name.”

  “A lovely name for a lovely daughter. We’re a family now. Do you want me to take your last name since I don’t have one?”

  “What? Dammit Adonis I told you we’re nothing more than fuck buddies.”

  Adonis gestured for her to come closer. “Put the babe down and come over here and say that,” he murmured. He saw the nervous look on her face. She hesitated. “Afraid,” he taunted with a chuckle. She was now determined to prove she wasn’t. The baby was seen to and she was sleeping. Lucy placed her in her carrier and she hesitantly moved toward Adonis.

  He could see she was shaking but trying to hide it. A feeling of victory and limitless love washed over him. He could smell her arousal and see her need. He just stood there waiting for her as she slowly took one step at a time until she was in his waiting arms. He pulled her up against his heart and he just held her there for a few moments letting her calm and take her ease. He pulled back just enough that he could brush his lips across hers when she looked up at him. He saw something in her eyes, or maybe he just wanted to, that told him if he was careful, she would respond.

  He went back for more this time tasting her mouth like it was an all you can eat buffet and he was starving. He was starving for her and nothing else. She responded with the same passion he was showing her. He felt energy zipping through him and he would bet she felt it too. He skillfully removed the sleep shirt he had changed her into when he had put her to bed. He’d left nothing on underneath. It paid to be prepared. He lifted her, but he didn’t break their kiss and he placed her on the bed and slid over top of her.

  He began to seduce his mate, slowly kissing caressing and moving steadily down to her full breasts. He captured a rosy nipple, nipping it and then sucking it to soothe it. He continued to tug on it harder and harder until she moaned. He moved to the other side and repeated his action drawing out her pleasure before moving down her stomach. She writhed beneath him and even giggled a little.

  “Ticklish?” he whispered his hot breath hitting her sensitive skin.

  He laved her belly button with his tongue and continued downward not waiting to hear the answer she never gave. He finally placed his face right on her pussy and breathed in deep enjoying the sexy scent and feeling his cock swell outward in response. His mouth watered and his tongue itched to sink inside her. He flicked out his tongue tracing her nether lips and she shivered. He slid across her crease again this time pushing inside. He moved his fingers into her channel stroking in and out leisurely. His tongue swirled around her little nubbin worrying it until she writhed. He held her immobile as he pleasured her to his personal satisfaction.

  “Adonis!” she gasped as he brought her to the edge. His every touch lit a fire inside her that only he could ease.

  “Mm,” he responded and the vibration sent her over the edge. She shrieked as her orgasm rolled over her she jerked and her hands
tangled in his hair pulling him up against her sex as she arched up against him.

  “Oh…oh…oooh,” she screamed out her release and had she thought about it, she would have died of embarrassment realizing every god on the plane could hear her.

  She lay there just a quivering pile of flesh unable to think or move. He was now laying over her, but he only pressed his body lightly against her. She had just had the grandmamma of all orgasms and she didn’t think she’d feel need or desire for a while. Adonis kissed her brushing her lips lightly as she still lay there panting away. She tried to calm herself and breathe, but she had never felt so many sensations at once. He moved his mouth to her neck and she moved her head so he had access. She felt a pinch but couldn’t even get excited about being bitten, that was how wrung out she was over her explosive climax. Her breath was finally slowing, her heart was no longer pounding, and she felt languid. Her skin was once again sensitive and she was responding to every move Adonis made and he was making a lot of them.

  He kissed her and their tongues dueled slowly, sensuously. Her desire started to simmer and her hands moved over his body exploring gently. His hands moved over her like silk with a couple callouses. They only made things interesting. She looked up at his face, so handsome and endearing. He was sliding into her and her desire ramped up as she arched to meet him. He rolled them over letting her take control and she liked it. She sat up so she was astride him and he sank in so deep. She rocked and rolled grinding her clit onto him making it slide so beautifully across him. She shuddered from the perfect way it felt and the effect it had on her.

  He was arching, pushing into her and his hands spanned her hips helping her lift and move. She was in heaven and a bubble of warmth was filling her heart. It was something she’d never felt and didn’t understand. She was feeling a connection to the man, no the god that was in her and all around her, that was even more personal than the act they were completing. The tension built and she would blow any moment. He slammed her down on him just a little harder than before and that was all it took. Her mouth opened but the scream was frozen as her body was completely overwhelmed with all the emotions and sensations that hit her at once.

  It was beyond fantastic as the joy bubbled up and ran over her. She was hit with so much feeling that her brain couldn’t process it all and just shut down. She felt his hands catch her and guide her to his chest. Shock ran through her as the realization that she’d just been fucked unconscious hit her just as she passed out.

  Chapter 6

  Home

  Adonis felt a giddiness rush through him. She had to have felt mighty fine to pass out from pleasure. The mated gods spoke of it but he’d thought it bragging and not really true. He’d seen her look at him and her eyes had rolled back in her head. It was a little freaky, but he had caught her and saw to it she was unhurt. He didn’t know what to do now except take a nap so she could stay where she was and he’d be there when she woke. It was a good plan, but outside forces in the form of a tiny babe changed the plan.

  She cried, not very loud but Lucy needed to rest after the session of love making he had put her through. He rolled her gently off him and onto her side. He slid out of bed and pulled on some pants. Paisley stopped crying as soon as she saw he was coming to her. He changed her diaper then he got her a bottle when she was still fussy. He’d swear she smiled at him just before she dug into the bottle. It even looked like she winked at him but he’d never admit that to a soul since she was just an infant. He liked the way she felt when he held her, there was a sense that she belonged with him as well as with Lucy who also belonged to him.

  He let her nurse until she fell asleep and then he put her over his shoulder and he rubbed her back until she burped. He kissed her soft little cheek and placed her back in the carrier. He strapped her in because they would be landing soon. He placed her carrier in a seat and strapped it in too. He checked on Lucy who was sleeping just like the baby. He had anywhere from thirty minutes to an hour before landing. It didn’t seem enough time to try to sleep, but the place next to Lucy called to him. He gave in to its lure. He slid into bed next to Lucy, pressed up against her, and wrapped his arms around her. He wasn’t sleepy so he lay there relaxing, breathing in the seductive scent of his mate, and reveled in the warm, soft feel of her body.

  He knew she would resist him even though he hoped she would give in. He was falling in love, hard and fast. It felt both exciting and scary as hell especially since he had no clue what his mate would do. He’d hold on tight enough for both of them and hope that was enough. He cuddled her a little tighter and closed his eye just for a moment.

  Sounds of activity woke him. The plane had slowed a great deal and he concluded they were preparing to land. Paisley was strapped in, but he and Lucy weren’t. He gently shook her while whispering in her ear. “Lucy, sweetie, you have to wake up.”

  “Wha-what?” she asked as she started to wake befuddled and cranky.

  “We’re landing.”

  “Adonis? Where are we?”

  “Olympus.”

  Her eyes clouded with confusion for a moment and then memory came back full force. Her skin tinted pink and he knew what she was remembering them making love. He wanted that passion to be enough to convince her to stay. Her lips pursed and her eyes narrowed as she thought. It worried him but they were landing and they needed to get into the nearby chairs.

  “Come on. Let’s get you strapped in.” He helped her find something to wear so they could both dress. She dressed then he helped her into the chair and snapped her belt into place before doing the same for himself.

  Lucy was quiet and reflective saying not one word until the plane was on the ground. She watched Paisley who slept through the whole thing. Adonis didn’t like this new silent Lucy who seemed to be plotting and planning in her head. He wanted to pull her into his arms, kiss her breathless, and convince her to stay with him forever. Forever seemed to be slipping away minute by minute if the distant look on her face was anything to go by.

  They landed and he heard the other gods bustling about unloading and seeing to the other guests. He stayed where he was letting the others get out of the way before he escorted his family inside. She was his whether she knew it or not, her and the child. They would go straight to medical where he would have his suspicions tested out. He would make her stay, one way or the other. If it was the other, he would find a way to make her forgive him later. The plane was nearly quiet now.

  “Are you ready to go in?” he asked in a hushed tone. Paisley was still sleeping but she moved restlessly from time to time. Such a tiny thing but she had already stolen his heart just like her mother had.

  Lucy nodded and went to get Paisley. “You need to let me carry her we’ll be going through a short stretch of snow and it can get deep.”

  She handed her off and they went to the main section of the plane. Some one had left them each a coat and zip up cover for the baby that would go around her carrier. They donned their coats, hats, gloves and clear face shields. The weather was brutal here and every bit of skin as well as the eyes had to be covered if one ventured outside. The walk was short, the facility visible from the plane but precautions were still necessary.

  They were all prepared and Adonis had double checked to be sure nothing would be exposed to the elements. He led them to the door where two other gods helped them exit. The snow wasn’t as bad as it sometimes was, but Lucy had a hard time. Humans, especially small ones, usually did. Adonis had Paisley in her carrier in one hand and he was practically carrying Lucy with the other. They made it to the large double doors and out of the snow. The doors opened as soon as they were in front of them and two more gods were there to greet them.

  Adonis pulled off his face covering and greeted the gods in return. “Who are your guests?” asked the tallest god.

  “I have Lucy and Paisley with me. I need to get them settled in and see Zeus. I’ll introduce you properly later,” Adonis explained as he pulled Lucy along behind h
im.

  He wasn’t jealous of the interest he knew the other gods would have in a female as attractive as Lucy. He was just in a hurry that was all. He escorted her and Paisley into the elevator, down one floor, and to his old room where they all shed their winter gear. “We’d best go to medical first. They want to make sure Paisley’s been taken care of properly.”

  Lucy nodded and she followed as he carried Paisley out the door. Medical was on the top floor and close to the elevator. Doc was there waiting for them. It shouldn’t have surprised him since Doc knew they were landing.

  “Hello, there. Who do we have here?” Doc asked.

  “This is Lucy and the little one is Paisley,” Adonis proclaimed like he was introducing a queen and princess. That’s what they were to him, they were his world.

  “Why don’t we start with Paisley and that way you and Lucy can meet with Zeus. He and Sierra are waiting for you in his office.”

  “Is that alright Lucy? I know you just got her back, but it won’t be very long and Doc needs to make sure she’s healthy,” Adonis urged. She looked so torn, he knew she wanted to talk to Zeus, and she knew Paisley needed to be checked out. After all, she‘d been in the hands of criminals. Finally, she nodded reluctantly and Doc smiled at her gently.

  Adonis set the baby in the carrier on the counter and undid that strap. He lifted her and gave her a quick hug and kiss, before handing her to Lucy so she could do the same. Lucy handed her to Doc, it was a big sign of trust. The baby made restless motions, but never seemed to wake fully. With Paisley in Doc’s care, they left to go see Zeus. Adonis knew she would demand to go home. He didn’t know what he would do then, he loved her so he wasn’t sure if he would play his ace in the whole. He honestly wasn’t sure he had an ace but he would find out soon.
