Mirror of Love

Hera was standing at the balcony of her castle, the biggest and most spectacular in all of Mount Olympus. The again she was the queen of Gods so nothing other would be expected. She sighed as she looked over at Aphrodite and her husband; they seemed to be having lovers spat.

This wasn't rightly anything new as the Gods and Goddesses did as every other fight with their loved ones from time to time. She and Zeus was of course the worst at that. Their fights did cause Thunder and lightning's all over the Greek world, or where there were Greeks living.

Normally Hera wouldn't care about the fighting couple as she loathed Aphrodite or at least she used to. Lately she had been feeling confused about her feelings towards the other woman.

Ever since they ended up in bed three weeks ago her feelings towards the other woman had changed. She had started to look upon the other woman with a tenderer eye. Some would even say they could glimpse love in her eyes whenever she gazed at the mighty Aphrodite. This would however be strongly denied if everyone dared to ask her about it.

She could see Butes walk away from her, she trying to detain him for no use. Hera was too far away to hear it, but she was pretty sure that Aphrodite was sighing heavily. Something was wrong and she knew it, she had to get to her.

She closed her eyes and apparated just behind the younger Goddess asking, "Is everything okay with the two of you?"

"No, it is not, I believe we just ended it, so guess I need to find myself another consort," she said with a heavy sigh.

"What, but why?" asked Hera, a little shocked. Not that it was any news that Aphrodite was changing her husband; she had done that nine times up to now. Still she and Butes had seemed really happy, happy enough for Zeus to let him come to Olympus spite the fact he was no God.

"He said I no longer love him, he can live with a lot of things, but not that," she answered not looking at the other Goddess, but out on the other Olympians.

"But you two always seemed so happy," said Hera.

"We were, he however is right so it should be for the better," said Aphrodite, walking over to a bench close by and sitting down.

Hera walked over to her, standing next to her asking, "He is…?"

"Yes I've been in love with someone else for a little while now," Aphrodite admitted, emerald green met ocean blue as they looked into each other's eyes.

"Oh Dite," Hera whispered, at once getting it was herself she was talking about, and also no getting why they had ended up in bed together.

"I thought I first was interested in you physically, but I quickly found I was wrong after we made love. I really wish I didn't feel this way my queen," said Aphrodite as little tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"I know," said Hera, gently stroking her tears away, letting the hand rest on her cheek for a little while. Then she got up and said, "We should talk, but not here, too many listeners."

"We can talk at my house," said Aphrodite with a heavy sigh, working in the direction with a very hanging head. From a distance Zeus was watching the two of them with a frown.


Once inside Aphrodite's mansion, which was more like a palace due to the side, the two women entered the living room. Aphrodite sad down on the emerald green couch and Hera on a matching chair close by. Hera looked at Aphrodite, she was looking sad and frustrated at once. If Hera was guessing right the younger woman had like herself never felt like this before. And while Aphrodite could leave her husband, Hera could not. As queen of the Gods it just wouldn't look good.

Aphrodite sighed as she looked away, why did she have to be as stupid to fall for the one woman she could never have. Again tears started to fall from her emerald green eyes.

Hera got up from the chair, walked over and lifted her dress enough to sit on Aphrodite's lap, she lifted her chin just enough to let her lips brush upon the other woman's and lock onto them.

As she backed away, she looked deeply into the older Goddess eyes; it was to like looking into a mirror of love. Deep inside those ocean blue depths her oven emotions got reflected. Hera would perhaps never tell her that she loved her, but her eyes said it all.

The older Goddess bent in to kiss her once more, continuing it, moaning into Aphrodite's mouth. Aphrodite backed away and looked at the panting Hera saying, "We shouldn't really…You're married and…"

"That didn't seem to be a problem last time," Hera said in a calm tone.

"I…I didn't think straight, I was going with my desires, I needed to know if it was physical affection and only that. I was wrong it was much more and I don't know if it would be wise to continue this, if Zeus finds out, he'll practically kill me," said Hera.

"He can't, you're a Goddess remember, the worst he can do is beat you up good or banish you," said Hera calmly.

"They both sound so appealing," said Aphrodite, rolling her eyes.

"Will you calm down, he'll never find out," said Hera, still calm. And if he in worst did she knew how to sweet-talk him. Even Hera had her ways for calming her husband down.

"Even he's not that stupid, if you can find about his affairs, he'll sooner or later find out about yours," Aphrodite argued.

"He usually does, but he does wise about not bring it up," said Hera, as Zeus knew better than that considering all his sidesteps and illegitimate children.

Aphrodite nodded, resting her head against Hera's shoulder. Never before had she wanted someone this much, not her husbands or her loves. Never before had she felt like this, she of course loved her husbands, but not with this intensity.

"Let us go upstairs," Hera whispered, thinking that they didn't necessarily need to make love, all she at the moment wanted was to cuddle with the other woman and making her feel safe. She slowly got up her lap and dragged towards the stairwell. A very insecure Aphrodite followed her upstairs, still wondering if this was a good idea.


"Ohhh faster please," Aphrodite let out, closing her eyes in delight, wanting to reach the climax.

Hera threw her head back, making her golden mane fall down her backside and her breasts go up and down as she continued to go thrust in and out of her mistress. Aphrodite's hands were on her hip as she was moving with her queen. Hera gave it one more trust before she fell together on top of Aphrodite and filled her up. Aphrodite was shaking beneath her, screaming out.

Hera let her head rest against her mistress's bosom as she carefully closed her eyes. Aphrodite gently stroked her, letting her rest. Knowing she had more than enough to do lately and hadn't had much time for that.

Just then the door to the bedroom flung open and Zeus came in. Not so weird considering it was his bedroom, his and Hera's. Aphrodite had only been in there once before during the past two months that she had been with Hera.

Aphrodite looked at Zeus, which looked back at her in surprise rather than shock. Then his eyes turned into anger, making Aphrodite shake lightly in fear. She knew the risk of him catching them was always there, and in there… The thing was that Zeus should be gone for a couple of more hours, obviously they had been mistaken.

"So it is true, you two," he said, he didn't sound too pleased, yet it didn't seem that he was going to harm her. She knew he could so she was wondering why he didn't.

"Yes," said Aphrodite, not knowing what else to say considering he had caught them red-handed.

"Of all the people and Goddesses in the world you had to choose my wife, may I ask why?" he asked her as he came closer.

"I…I don't have to explain my actions to you," she said.

"You know had you not been immortal I would have killed you, had I not been as bad example as I am I would have banished you, have I not considered myself a decent man I would have hit you yellow and blue, now I ask you what is the proper punishment? After all you dared to defy the God of Gods," he said, his voice sounded grave.

"I…I don't know, had I been a guy I would say cut of the penis, but since that wouldn't be and option, maybe deny us to see each other," she whispered, not knowing if that was even possible.

"Take a good look at her, because you will never come near her again," he said, before removing his wife from Aphrodite, still sleeping peacefully and knowing nothing. Then he threw her out, and put up a block around Hera so Aphrodite couldn't come close without getting harmed.


When Hera woke up she once got that she was alone in bed, but not why, knowing Aphrodite would never leave her like that. When she sat up and saw Zeus she knew her mistress had no other choice than to leave.

"What did you do to her?" Hera asked, knowing how fierce he could be.

"Threw her out and you are never to see her again, you hear," his voice was trembling in anger.

"You cannot do that, considering how many you sleep with yourself," she snarled, her eyes were lightning.

"I would never touch one of the Olympians and you are my wife, Goddess of marriage, you are supposed to set an example," he snapped back at her.

"How can I do that when you don't and I love her, I did not choose this Zeus, but I do as much as I love you. Have you any idea what it is like to be torn between two people?" she asked him, angry tears streaming down her cheeks.

"You love her, since when? I thought you two hated each other," he said, his eyes were widening. That she wanted to fool around to punish him or get back at him was one thing, that she loved someone else were quite another.

"Since we first…My king I never wanted for this to happen, not at all. I want her and I want you, and this is all driving me insane as I don't want to leave you and still I want to be with her," Hera said, letting her head fall into her hands.

Zeus just nodded, for the first time in his life not quite knowing what to say. His wife wanted to be with her in addition to him. What did that really say about him? He of course knew he wasn't the best of husbands, but that his wife would fall for someone else and made love to her most likely more than she did to him. Never before had he felt more like a failure.

"Well as I said you are never getting near her again and that's final," he said, before he got op, walked out and slammed the door behind him. Hera ran after him, only to find he was right, the door was locked as was the window. So she was inprisoned just became she slept with the wrong woman.

"Let me out you tyrant," she yelled, banging hard against the door. Damn him, damn her, damn this whole situation. If she ever got out he was going to pay.


It was an exhausted Aphrodite that approached Zeus in the streets of Mount Olympus. Three weeks had gone since he banished her from the castle. Three weeks where she had thought was going insane from not getting near her Hera. Every time she tried she ended up getting bunched back by electric shocks. She assumed as it was Zeus it had to be thunder.

They shocked her even when she thought about nearing Hera, no matter how far away she was. In the beginning she understood him, but after more severe strikes she had enough, not to mention they ruined her sleep. She knew the only thing she could do was trying to reason with him, so she decided to take the chance of talking to him one grey day.

"Zeus," she said, making the Gods he was talking to steps aside and give her the judging looks.

"Haven't you had enough," he said, making a lightning bolt appear in his hand and threw it with all force at her. She screamed out in pain as she crumbled to the ground. He was just about to do the same again when Athena suddenly stepped in between. Blocking her way between her father and the shivering woman on the ground.

"Enough," said Athena in a firm voice. She never thought she would defend the mistress of her stepmother, but seeing how her father now treated her was starting to get to her. The cruelty in it was just too much. As an example for the Gods this long treatment was to taking her punishment too far.

"Athena move," he demanded.

"No!" she said in her most stubborn tone, crossing her arms over her chest and refusing to do so.

"Move or…" Zeus said.

"Do you really think it's wise to challenge me considering I'm the Goddess of warfare? If I were you I would listen for once," she said.

He made a hand gesture for her to go on and she said, "I can honestly say I'm disappointed in you, father. You are the king of Gods and should behave thereafter, instead you are acting like an ass. A tyrant. You look mother inside just because she was so unlucky to fall in love with someone else. Can you really blame her considering your fair share of ladies? You have gone too far and you know it, so I demand you stop this now."

The Gods and Goddesses around them gasped, did she really defy her father and what would be his response to this. Zeus looked at his daughter, knowing she was speaking the truth, looking at Aphrodite in a shivering little curl on the ground he knew he had done not only her wrong, but the rest of them. This was no way to behave, even if he was disagreeing with Hera's actions.

He slowly walked over to Aphrodite saying, "Please rise."

She did, looking at him with insecure eyes, as he said, "Come."

And with that she followed him into the castle, wondering what he wanted with her.

Once inside Zeus took her up the bedroom where he once found them, unlocking the door. Both looking at Hera on the bed, she seemed to be sleeping.

"My queen," Zeus whispered, making her open her eyes and look at him.

"Yes," she said.

"I've been acting foolishly, and I really shouldn't have," he said with a sigh coming closer.

"You should not," she said.

"I only wish for your happiness, and if I cannot provide that, I'm sure Aphrodite can," he said, nodding towards the woman in the doorway.

"Zeus, you do, more than you can imagine, it's just she does as well," said Hera, looking at him, then Athena with tender eyes.

"I understand, so I'll allow it as long as it does not happen her or I have to know about it," he said.

"We can agree to that, right Dite?" Hera asked, looking at Aphrodite.

"We can my queen," she answered, a smile slowly gracing her lips.

"Good, if you don't mind I would like a moment with my husband, I'll make sure to find you later," said Hera.

Aphrodite nodded and left them. Hera gently stroked Zeus cheek as she whispered, "I do really love you."

"I know, my queen, and I you, I'm sorry for causing so much trouble," he said with a sigh.

"That is…okay, but if you don't mind I would like you to make love to me now," she whispered, figuring she owed him that much. After all he was her husband.

Zeus nodded as he slowly bent down to kiss his lady and get in position to take her. They did have something good when not arguing that much he knew. And if a woman extra helped contributing to their happiness, he could live with that. As Hera felt his greatness against her she smiled thinking that maybe just maybe she could learn something from her husband she could use with Dite later.
