Chapter 10

The Corridors in the Castle

As Cassandra made her way towards the training grounds to meet Hecate for her archery lesson, she couldn't help but think about what had just transpired between herself and the queen. The woman's taste was still on her tongue, that sweet luscious taste that drove her insane. It made her want to hear the queen's screams, feel her clench around her fingers, and make her writhe, trying to get more. She couldn't forget the way Persephone's warm folds felt against her tongue, or how sweet her skin tasted.

Cassandra felt herself becoming wet again at the image her mind was conjuring up. She stopped in the middle of the hallway and clenched her fists. Control your emotions said the memory of the queen Cassandra had in her head. While they had not learned much about controlling powers, she did know that losing control of emotions so early in gaining powers could be dangerous. Most gods and goddesses had been born with their abilities so they did not need to concentrate nearly as much as Cassandra did right now.

After Cassandra had successfully controlled her arousal, she continued to walk again, keeping her head high and her shoulders back. An arm wrapped itself neatly around her waist and pulled her into the body it was connected to.

"Hello, beautiful," said Orpheus in her ear. He kissed her lightly on the temple and continued to keep pace with Cassandra. The warmth of his body made Cassandra relax into him and let out a sigh. Over the past week, they had explored the castle in their spare time and had become even closer than they were when they arrived. However, they had yet to become very familiar with each other's bodies due to how quickly everything was happening. In the entire three months they had dated, Orpheus had not seen Cassandra without any clothes on, the furthest was a bra and sweatpants. Cassandra had seen him with only his boxers. Every time they were close, something would happen to make them stop, such as Hades appearing and telling him to bring Cassandra home. It was frustrating to both of them, but Orpheus knew that in just one more night, he would be able to experience Cassandra in full. "Did you have a good lesson with mother?" he said with a slight smirk.

Cassandra stopped abruptly again and slowly turned her head to look at him. His smirk had turned into a very knowing smile. "It was quite…pleasurable," Cassandra said in a low voice. "Though I'm sure you know that."

"I left your mind before the fun truly started. I only saw you ask my mother and her ravenous look back. I decided I would get to know your body tomorrow, when I can actually feel you tremble beneath my touch," he whispered in her ear. Cassandra's back lightly hit the wall of the corridor. She had been listening so closely to Orpheus's words that she hadn't even noticed him moving her. His hands had moved to hold her shoulders in place and his face was merely inches away from hers. "Wondering why I wanted you to fuck her?" he whispered. Cassandra nodded quickly, her arousal coming back. "Because I knew how badly both of you wanted it. I could see her eyes darkening as you told her you were a virgin. And I felt how much you liked being looked at like that. I wanted you to scream her name and I wanted her to scream yours," he said between light kisses on her neck. She was moaning lightly again.

She could feel something building up unlike she had felt before, and immediately squished it. It was a crackling electricity that threatened to burst from her if she didn't.

"You gained her powers, I can detect her trace on you," he said again, in an even lower voice. Cassandra wanted so badly to talk back, but her tongue felt heavy and she could barely stand without his help. He knew he was affecting her greatly, and she loved every minute of it. She loved how powerful he was around her.

He smashed his lips into hers and thrust his tongue in, exploring her mouth. She whimpered as his assault continued and he pushed his body harder against hers and into the wall.

He pulled back, looking into her eyes and could see a small amount of green swirling deep within. Orpheus knew it was the trace of his mother's power wanting so badly to break free and take him. He was amazed that Cassandra was keeping it under control as well she was.

"I can taste her on you," he whispered again.

"And do you like that?" she managed. She raised an eyebrow questioningly. It was something she had been wondering as she walked down the hall.

Orpheus smiled and kissed her deeply again, almost answering the question, but leaving a small amount of curiosity in Cassandra. He slowly released his grip on her shoulders and pulled her off the wall. She looked at him with both amusement and annoyance as he put her hand in his and began walking again.

"That, my darling, is something we will have to discuss later or we will be late for our lessons," he said.

Cassandra loved how he could turn on his seduction with the drop of a hat, but this was frustrating. She had been aroused to an unimaginable degree, wetness nearly dripping down her thighs. Just one more night, she thought as she began to control her arousal.

"You almost annoy me with your games," she whispered.

"If I didn't play with you once in a while, you wouldn't have anything to keep you busy," he whispered back with a smile. "Dinner will be served in our room tonight," he continued in a normal voice. "I figured you wouldn't mind some privacy since we haven't had any in nearly a week."

"That would be great," she said. Her arousal had nearly abated and she sincerely hoped he wouldn't do anything to make it come back. "I could really use some time to just relax."

Orpheus continued to lead her to the training grounds and smiled as he left her with Hecate who looked at her closely before smiling a smile that seemed as if she knew what her and Persephone had done. When Hecate looked at him, he smiled back before turning to begin his sword lesson.

A/N: Orpheus - The Ultimate Seducer. If I could ever find a man like Orpheus, I'd eat him right up. Not literally of course. Cannibalism is not ok.
