If only he were a god

He wasn&039;t and it wasn&039;t meant to be He was human and not just any human He was a slave A whore who&039;d been brutally used by everyone around hi with hih trouble with her credibility where the other gods were concerned Should they ever learn about this, they&039;d strip her powers from her and banish her to the human realm

She couldn&039;t allow that

Not even for Acheron It was ive More than she could bear She&039;d seen how cruelshe wanted was to be naked in this world and at the mercy of people who had no heart Look what they&039;d done to Acheron He couldn&039;t even walk in public without soine what they&039;d do to her should they learn she&039;d been a goddess

They&039;d tear her apart

Sobbing, she held him close and took him away from this stupid, mean world

In her own bed, she brushed her hand over him and cleaned him up so that he looked like the Acheron she loved His hair was fresh and clean, his cheeks smooth and soft while he lay naked on her feathered mattress Every muscle of his body was sharply sculpted The lines of his abdomen

How could any wo to be as close to him as possible, she removed her clothes, then crawled into bed to lie beside hiled close and listened to his breathing

While he slept, she ran her hand over the muscles that covered his chest His body was flawless Lean and well muscled, he looked powerful even while he was unconscious Heat poured through her as she fondled his nipple It puckered in response to her touch,her smile

And she wondered what it would taste likeAcheron was always tasting her, but she&039;d never done that to him She was bashful about his body But with hi her head down, she ran her tongue over the taut peak Hood His skin was salty and s, sheevery inch of it

It wasn&039;t until she reached his stomach that she pulled back His entire torso was bare except for a small patch of hair that ran from his navel down to the thicker patch at the center of his body She buried her hand there, letting the coarse hair tease her fingers Unlike the hair on his head, these were prickly and as she ran her hand through thean to harden

Artemis touched him cautiously She was fascinated by the part of him that was so different from her own body At first she was able tohe was so hard and stiff that all she could do was run her hand down the length of him and make his cock dance in response to her touch

How odd

Even stranger was the lanced up to make sure he was still unconscious Reassured, she bit her lip, then crawled closer Her heart ha in fear and curiosity, she dipped her head down for a taste

Arte scary about this Truly, nothing scary about Acheron in the least S, she pulled back to cup him in her hand

He slept on, oblivious to the fact she was exploring him

She moved back up his body to kiss those lips that had haunted her dreams these days past She couldn&039;t stand it anymore

"Wake for me, Acheron"

Acheron was in a daze as he tried to focus his thoughts But all he could see was Arte him with their heat

"You take my breath away," he whispered

She smiled ever so sweetly before she nipped his chin with her teeth

He was already hard and aching for a taste of her Was this a dreay that he couldn&039;t tell There was a haze over everything

"Show your love to me," she breathed in his ear

He wanted to and with her on him like this he couldn&039;t re his face into hers, he kissed her deeply He&039;d never wanted to ht noanted inside her with a h hi, he rolled over with her and dipped his head down to tease her right breast

Arte her Her stomach contracted sharply with each delectable lick And to her a, she clutched his head to her and shook as wave after wave of pleasure swept through her She&039;d had no idea that he could do this

He growled unexpectedly, before he lowered hihs apart to stare at her with a hunger so raw it sent a shiver over her

"Touch er down her,her shudder in response An instant later he buried his ue tormented her It was unbearably pleasurable

And she wanted er inside her while he tasted her The intrusion was startling at the saer inside, she tensed

"What are you doing?"

Heanother exquisite lick "I&039; your body ready for me so that I won&039;t hurt you when I enter you" He pulled back "Have you changed your mind?"

She shook her head "I want you, Acheron"

He kissed his way slowly up her body while he continued to tease her with his hand

Arteh her The moment it started, Acheron slid himself deep inside her body Heher, it increased her orgas level

Her head lolled back and forth on the pillow as she tried to make sense of this But there was no sense to it And when Acheron started to slowly and deeply thrust against her, she hs Artemis made that matched his strokes She held him in a way no one ever had before

As if heto her

Tears pricked at the back of his eyes as he drove hier drunk, he was in bliss All he could see was her beautiful face

Her eyes darkened an instant before she brushed the hair back from his neck and sank her teeth into hiain

The sensation of her drinking froe Unable to stand it, he too ca wave of ecstasy

He collapsed on top of her while she fed Between his orgasm and blood loss, he eak and sated She rolled him over onto his back so that she could drink evenshe asked of hi touched so down, she saw her blood mixed with his seed on her mattress The reality of what she&039;d just done slammed into her with a force so sharp it shattered all her happiness

She was virgin no more

If Apollo or the others found out

She&039;d be ruined Ridiculed Humiliated

What had she done?

You&039;ve been defiled by a human whore

His eyes half-hooded, Acheron reached for her She pulled back as her heart slaainst her breast This was terrible Awful Terrified over what she&039;d allowed hi sick

Acheron followed her "Artemis?"

"Don&039;t touch me!" she snarled as he tried to hold her She pushed him back

"Did I hurt you?"

The concern in his voice left a ragged hole in her heart But it was nothing compared to the shame and fear she felt "You&039;ve ruined me"

In that moment she hated him for what they&039;d done How dare he et who she was and why her virginity was so iods, what had she done?

She wanted to kill him and yet she couldn&039;t How could she hate him so badly and still crave him?

"Why did you touch me?"

He looked stunned by her question "You asked me to"

"I didn&039;t ask you to kiss me in my temple," she accused "I&039;d never known a kiss before And then you touched gered back in shock as his cheek burned Before he could recover hi When that didn&039;t seeainst the far wall and held hiod&039;s powers

I will protect you

Her words rang in his ears as he stared down at her, waiting for her to finally kill him Truthfully he&039;d rather be dead than feel the splintering in his heart over what she was doing

She&039;d lied

Suddenly, he slammed to the floor That saainst the lare "So help le soul and I will see you killed so painfully that your screahout eternity"

Those words brought tears to his eyes as they reminded him of sowith hinitaries and nobles had come to him and then cursed him the moment after he&039;d pleasured the their precious reputations They&039;d kicked hi him for their own lust as if he&039;d wanted it

Why had he ever thought for one moment that Artemis would be any different?

In the end, he hat he was

Nothing

"Do you hear me?" Artemis snarled in his face

"I hear you"

"I&039;ll rip your tongue out"

He had to force hih at a threat he&039;d cut his teeth on But he knew the truth His tongue had ave therabbed him by the hair and pulled his head up to force hioddess Artemis"

And he was Acheron Parthenopaeus Cursed whore Despised slave Incapable of being loved by anyone

How stupid of hi like hioddess

Arteh her own heart She didn&039;t want to do this to him, but what choice did she have? He would be dead in a few decades, but her shaods

Humans couldn&039;t be trusted Ever

"Reion" She wrenched his hair in warning before she sent him back to his world

Shattered, Acheron sat on the floor of his room Numb by the rejection and attack, he crawled out to the balcony that overlooked the sea and laid his head against the stone railing He heard the voices of the Atlanteans calling to hio What would it matter if they did kill him?

If he could o to them But deep in his heart was the fear that they only su his head, he wept and as every tear fell he hated Artemis for it

No one had made him cry like this in years Not since the day Estes had sold his virginity to the highest bidder and then held a party for everyone to watch the brutal violation that had hter and jeers haunted him

Break the whore in for the rest of us

Acheron pounded his fist against the stone, wanting the pain to erase the sha could take it away

The whore was tired now He was finally broken And it wasn&039;t by the hand of his master or a client

It&039;d been by the hand of the only person he&039;d ever loved Defeated and lost, Acheron lay down on the cold balcony and closed his eyes, praying for death to finally cohtmare that was his life

January 28, 9528 BC

Ryssa was in her father&039;s throne roo her Which was normal But what she hated was the fact that Apollo wanted her by him any time he came here He treated her like a possession whose only purpose was to smile and fawn over his presence And it made her wonder if this was how Acheron had felt in Estes hood was exceptionally handsonificant The only thing worse than his treatment of her was her father&039;s insistence that she was blessed to be in the god&039;s presence

If this was blessed, she&039;d hate to see cursed

She turned her head as she caught a gli in the doorway Pretty and tier than Styxx "Is so, Hestia?" she asked the maid

Hestia looked at the men fearfully before she made her way to Ryssa&039;s side so that she could speak to her in a soft tone "His Majesty wantedbefore she finished the state"

The royal prisoner Acheron Ryssa&039;s heart pounded in fear "Is he ill?"

She cleared her throat "I know not, Your Highness I haven&039;t seen him in days I leave food and when I return it&039;s untouched No one&039;s slept in his bed"

"What?" her father&039;s roar made both of them jump "Guards! Follow

Terrified for her brother, Ryssa ran after hi on?" Apollo asked Styxx as the two of theust deep in the hollow of his throat "It&039;s Acheron He&039;s a worthless slave who used to be a tsoulus Unfortunately his life is tied to h I feel fine so I&039;ods forbid we ever be allowed to forget his presence here for one single day"

Ryssa ground her teeth The last thing Acheron wanted was any attention from either Styxx or their father But in Styxx&039;s selfishto hide frolorious presences

Her father stormed into Acheron&039;s room, then drew up short She entered behind hin of Acheron

Her father turned on her with a furious glower "I told you he couldn&039;t be trusted"

Ryssa ignored him as she went to the one place her brother frequented The balcony

At first she didn&039;t see hi that shielded her froure out of her peripheral vision It was Acheron sitting to the side with his knees bent and his arms folded over them Coid cold and the rain that poured down on him His hair was plastered to his head and at least two days&039; growth of beard dusted his cheeks

Careful to stay out of the rain, she approached him slowly "Acheron?"

He didn&039;t respond There was soht It was as if he&039;d died, but his soul hadn&039;t left his body yet

She knelt beside him "Little brother?"

He turned those eyes on her with a fury she hadn&039;t seen since thehe&039;d thrown her out of his brothel "Leave rowled in a tone so ferocious it honestly scared her

Froer "Don&039;t you dare speak to her that way"

"Fuck you, you bastard"

Styxx growled low in his throat as he rushed Acheron

Ryssa fell back as Acheron came to his feet and ran at Styxx with the same fury She covered herrain Never once had she seen Acheron strike another living soul But he fought Styxx with everything he had
