Hades twirled his wine around in his golden goblet, frowning down at it as he sprawled in his throne. Even his wine no longer tasted sweet. It was as if the colour and flavours drained when Seph was not with him. He sighed, leaning back, staring blindly ahead, wondering what she was doing without him. He pictured her, her gorgeous features lighting up in his mind. He closed his eyes and sighed in pleasure as he thought of her. Her face was his refuge. The warmth slowly returned to him when he pictured her.

"Hades!"

He heard and his eyes popped open. That was Seph's voice. He jumped out of his throne and ran towards the door. At the same time, he saw Seph rush inside, grinning.

"Seph?"

He asked, softly, wondering if he was imagining things. She flew into his arms and his eyes closed, as he inhaled her scent.

"Is it you, sweetheart?"

"Yes."

She whispered.

"What are you-"

He began, but she cut him off,

"Not now. Later. I only have two hours."

She said quickly, before she tip-toed and crushed her mouth against his. He lifted her into his arms and took her back to the throne, his mind shutting and locking the doors. He sat, letting her straddle him as he took her mouth in a ferocious kiss. It had been too long. Finesse would have to wait. He pulled her down, grinding himself against her and she gasped against his mouth, moving with him. His hands slid up her back, holding her to him, and absorbing her into him at the same time. Finally, she was with him again.

She lowered her mouth to his neck and buried her hands in his hair, making him tip his head back, allowing her full access. He groaned as she kissed him below his jaw. She always knew where to touch him, where would drive him crazy. Impatiently, he flicked his hand and their clothes dissolved in smoke. She lifted up to grin at him and look her fill. He did the same, absorbing her image into his mind. Suddenly, he lurched forward to take one of her breasts in his mouth. She gasped, arching back and tightening her grip in his hair. He moaned at her taste and she cried out hoarsely.

"More..."

She murmured, cradling him to her as he suckled. His other hand left her back to massage the other.

Hades' body was on fire for her. His shaft throbbed with need as pleasure spiralled through him as the amazing friction intensified now that they were naked. He began grinding against her naked body and he felt as though the top of his head was about to blow off. He groaned and squeezed his eyes shut as he heard her cry out. He threw his head back, banging it hard against the back of his throne, to try to control himself. She moaned and reached down to cup his shaft in her hand. He swallowed convulsively, his eyes flicking from where she touched him to her precious features. He moved his hands so that they lay on her thighs, making her moan, arching slightly against him. He bit back a groan at this extremely sexy motion. He flipped her suddenly, so that her back was against his chest. He tightened his grip on her waist, holding her still, when her hand slipped back to hold him around the neck, her body moving against his own. He sighed in bliss and leaned forward to kiss her neck. She gasped and whispered,

"Please."

He moaned and ground himself upward into her once more. She gasped, a moan ripped out of her throat. He began slowly thrusting upward, getting closer to his goal with each movement. She began moving with him, her hands bracing herself on his knees. She was soon gasping in time to his thrusts and with a frustrated huff, she turned herself once more, straddling his lap again. She glared at him and reached between them to grip his shaft, making him drop his head back, hitting it unintentionally this time. He gave a small curse and she grinned at him before fitting him to her entrance. As if hypnotised, Hades stared at where he entered her, his body all but spasming with pleasure as she took him into her. She cried out and whispered,

"Gods, I've missed this!"

Hades chuckled and looked his fill, finding her arched in his lap, her bountiful, gorgeous breasts thrust towards him as she rode him, head thrown back. Her hands gripped his knees behind her. She began riding him again and allowed his hands to explore her. His hands slowly moved closer to her breasts, rubbing up and down continually. When they brushed against the sides of her breasts, she muffled a cry against his shoulder. He moaned and thrust harder into her. Hades moved his hands so that he fully cupped the breasts he had been dreaming about for so long. He let his hands massage her as she whimpered against his shoulder, almost sobbing. She buried her face against his throat, kissing him and panting against his throat. He was in heaven. Here she was, his Seph, and she was making love to him. He felt her begin to grind against him harder and faster and couldn't help but release her breasts to grip her hips as she moved against him. He squeezed her as indescribable pleasure spiralled through him. He bit his lip to keep from crying out, failing as one intense contraction made him lose control and shout to the ceiling, as she buried her face in his shoulder, biting his shoulder holding back a scream of her own before he lifted his hips, twisting, at an angle that made her fading orgasm flash into another, making her cry out, hoarsely. She fell against him, her breathing uneven and almost harsh, turning him on all over again. He pulled her up to his lips, kissing her and smirking.

"More?"

He rasped.

"Always."

Seph said, with a ravenous grin.

"Charon?"

Rena asked, quietly, once more pacing near the river.

"You know, if you were dead, this wouldn't be a problem."

Said a voice behind her. Rena spun around and saw the woman she had seen hugging Charon, leaning against the wall, with folded arms, behind her.

"What?"

She asked, shocked to see her there.

"Well, if you were dead, you could just swim across. Now, since you're not, you have two choices."

Rena looked at her, thinking she would continue, but she stood there with a small smirk on her face.

"What options?"

Rena finally asked.

"One, you can ask me to kill you."

She grinned, as Rena stepped back away from her quickly.

"N-No thanks."

"Yeah, didn't think so. The other option is you can ask me nicely to transport you across."

Rena stared at her.

"Can you please take me across?"

The woman smiled and asked,

"Why?"

"What?"

Rena said, confused.

"Why do you want to go across?"

"W-well... 'Cause..."

"Is there something across there? Is there someone across there?"

The woman was grinning at her and apparently waiting for a response. Rena nodded, hesitantly.

"Which one? Something or someone?"

"Someone."

Rena whispered, quietly.

"Hmm... Would that be our beloved Charon?"

Rena flushed and nodded, awkwardly.

"Tell me, young one. Why is it important? Does he mean something to you?"

Rena froze at this question, but she knew this woman would not take her across until she had her answers.

"Yes... I don't know why or how, but he means a great deal to me."

"Good enough for me. Is that enough for you, Charon?"

She asked, speaking to someone behind Rena. Rena's eyes widened and she stood stock-still, before slowly spinning around and facing Charon, who stood inside his boat, having made his way silently across the river.

"Yes, Hecate. I believe it is."

"Good. I'm leaving now. Dinner with Thanatos."

She wiggled her eyebrows at him, suggestively, before making her way towards her own home. Rena still stood there, staring at Charon, whose face was hidden by the cloak.

"Hey."

She eventually mumbled.

"Good day, Serena. How fare you?"

Somehow, this seemed to alleviate all the tension Rena felt, as she laughed loudly before saying,

"Yeah, I'm good. You still haven't learned to talk properly, though."

"My manner of speech is accepted in the Underworld."

Charon said, stiffly, as if this explained it all. Unexpectedly, Rena jumped at him, into the boat and into his arms.

"I've missed you."

She whispered against his chest. Charon peered down at the top of her head and whispered,

"You haven't been gone for more than a few hours."

She blushed and buried her face further, hugging him close.

"However..."

Charon continued, gathering her closer to him and bending slightly to inhale her scent.

"I missed you as well."

She smiled and whispered,

"Knew it. I'm like a fungus. I grow on you."

"That's not quite what I meant."

"Shut up and just lemme enjoy the moment."

Charon grinned and held her close.

Hades held his queen to him as he slumped back in his throne. They had ten more minutes of their two hours together and although he was disappointed that she had to leave, his body not yet sated from its need of her, his heart, for the first time in so long, was at peace. He breathed her in, as she cuddled against him.

"Stay."

He whispered, against her hair.

"How I want to."

She said and he could hear the tears in her voice.

"Don't cry, love. I didn't mean to make you cry."

"Can't help it. Being here feels so good. So right. Being away from here is like leaving myself. I'm just a shell when I'm up there."

"I'm nothing, as long as I'm away from you."

She leaned up to press a soft kiss to his lips and he deepened it, trying to drink her in. Maybe this moment could be frozen, forever. He sighed and murmured,

"I love you."

Against her lips, before deepening the kiss once more. She buried her hands in his hair and savoured the taste of him before pulling away with a sigh.

"I should get Rena before she gets into trouble and we should probably go back before my mom finds out where we are."

Hades sighed and nodded, nuzzling her lips once more, before getting up with Seph in his arms. He formed clothing on their bodies before taking her out of his throne room and towards where he sensed Serena's soul.

Seph snuggled into her husband's arms, soaking in the feel of him one last time. He walked towards Styx with no rush in his step and she smiled, knowing he didn't want this interlude to end either.

"Well, well."

Hades murmured as they made their way closer to Styx.

"What?"

Seph whispered against his chest.

"It seems as though we are interrupting."

Hades said, chuckling lightly. Seph frowned and lifted her face from where it had been buried against his chest to see what he meant. Her brows shot up in shock as she found little Rena sitting in Charon's lap, on his boat, looking like a small girl in comparison to the large oarsman, yet never before had she looked more like a woman as she stared up at his hooded face, adoration in her eyes.

"Oh no."

Seph whispered.

"What?"

"It almost looks as if..."

"She's in love?"

"Yes..."

Seph whispered again, dreading the reply.

"I believe she is. So does Hecate."

Upon hearing that Hecate, who could rifle through someone's emotions with ease, also believed this, she lifted one delicate hand to her forehead. She felt a headache coming on.

"What is it, love?"

Asked Hades, softly, leaning down to breathe in the scent of her hair.

"This can't happen."

"What?"

Hades asked, absorbed in the scent of her.

"She can't fall in love."

"Why not?"

"Ares won't allow it. He won't allow her this."

Hades snapped to attention at this.

"He won't allow it?"

"You don't understand, Hades. She will not deny her father anything. He is all she has other than her brother."

"This cannot be, Seph. He cannot dictate who she loves."

"Just as he could not dictate who his son loves? Look at where that has left us!"

"Charon feels more for her than he will admit, Seph. He loves her."

Seph groaned.

"Why does everyone have to fall in love with the wrong person?"

She silently fumed. Hades stopped walking at this and smiled down at her, waiting.

"Except us, of course."

She said, not bothering to snap out of her reverie. He nodded, satisfied and continued strolling, leisurely, taking his time to reach the two on the boat who were still snuggling against each other and having a whispered conversation.

"I will handle it, love. Do not fret."

"I don't fret!"

Seph insisted. Hades nodded, soberly.

"Of course not, darling. How could I say such a thing?"

"Yes. How could you?"

She grinned, pulling him down for a kiss. She heard a small gasp and a thud and knew Rena had seen them.

"I don't want to go back."

Rena whispered to Charon, slowly and she hoped covertly, moving her hand upwards to remove his hood.

"And I do not wish for you to leave."

She sighed, as her hand moved further up. Charon's attention however, had become riveted over her shoulder and she glanced around to see what it was. She gasped, pulling her hand away, guiltily, as she saw Seph in Hades' arms, kissing him gently. She flushed crimson, wishing she could do the same to Charon, before trying to scramble away from Charon, finding herself crashing to the ground instead. Charon reached for her, trying to steady her, but she would have none of it and rose, brushing herself off, regally, the only telling reminder of her fall being her scarlet cheeks.

Seph glanced up and smiled, serenely at her.

"Well, aren't we toasty?"

"Cozy."

Hades whispered.

"Yes. Cozy."

Rena flushed even more scarlet and cleared her throat before saying,

"You ready to go, Seph?"

Without glancing at Charon, who was still sitting and probably grinning at her. Bastard. She covertly kicked his shin and grinned, satisfied when he muttered an oath and knelt over to rub his leg.

"Yes. All set. You?"

Seph said, with an eyebrow arched, regally, at Rena's behaviour. Rena nodded, lowering her head guiltily.

"Good bye, love."

Seph murmured to Hades. He sighed and held her closer to him, taking her mouth for the last time. At this, Rena flushed scarlet and glanced at Charon who rose to stand next to her. She leaned up for him and he paused, startled, before lowering himself, to brush his lips against hers. She sighed, softly as she pulled away and made her way to where Seph was still attached at the lip to her husband. Rena smiled at Charon and took in what she was quite sure would be her last sight of him before she could sneak away from her father to visit again. She hoped it could be soon, but somehow she doubted that.

Hades lowered his wife to the floor, slowly, pressing his body against hers, possessively.

"I'll see you in a week, love."

He whispered.

Rena started at that.

"A week?"

Hades turned to her and said,

"Our six months apart ends in a week. Exactly one hundred and sixty seven hours, fifty four minutes and twenty seven seconds from this moment to be precise."

Seph laughed and leaned up for one last kiss.

"So close, and yet so far away."

She murmured and caressed his cheek. He gazed down at her, adoration apparent in his eyes and Rena said,

"We should get back."

Hades looked up with a glare, but Seph sighed, resignedly.

"Yes. Come on, Rena. Let's go."

She grabbed her hand in a rush and twirled, petals floating around her.

Rena only had enough time to look up and see Charon turned away, head bowed.
