HPOV

The sound of crashing water helped to soothe my mind and body. Yes, the noise was loud and could cause a great migraine but not to me. Somehow, the sound of the water helped me to release my stress. Almost as if the water was pushing my unwanted feelings away. Once Isabella had requested time for herself, I too sought for solitude. The water had always helped me feel better before so I went for a swim. Swimming and bathing provided a sense of freedom for me. In the water I did not have to rule. I was not focusing on who to judge. I could be myself.

I purposely created the waterfall within the lake because it was something I had missed within the human realm. I designed the lake in a way that I could hide myself if I wanted too. Just like now. I felt the slippery rock under my back as the water became a thick curtain. Shielding me. No, hiding me from everyone else.

Except...I cannot run from my feelings. Especially when it came to Isabella.

Whenever she is around I feel an array of emotions. I am glad that we have come to an understanding and she has forgiven me for her predicament. The normal thing to do would be to send her back. I would no longer be able to keep her here longer than necessary.

But... when she smiles. Her eyes. Her modest demeanor. Her curious nature. It makes me feel so warm. For so long I have felt cold. Nothing. But ever since the first moment I saw her I have felt something. More than anger, jealous, or lust. The warmth is something I have tasted and i don't want to let it go.

I sighed heavily as I hung my head. As if my neck was as heavy as the war within myself. I knew what I had to do but my selfishness was keeping me from doing it.

Suddenly a noise sounded in front of me. It was like water crashing. I looked at the falling water in front of me. Unfortunately, it also covered whatever was happening in front of me as well. I built the waterfall a little to good. Closing my eyes, I walk through the curtain as I feel myself becoming drenched. I quickly wipe my eyes only to see an empty lake aside from myself. Maybe I was hearing things.

Just then something emerged form the water. No, someone. They jumped from the water and immediately placed their hands on their face. However, I noticed their brown hair was like a second skin. Just from the hair alone, I knew it was her. I couldn't help my eyes from traveling downward. Her neck was slender and begging for a nip. Her chest was exposed but her hair, as if they had a mind of their own, were strategically covering the most luscious part of her breasts. I could see a dip in her waist and the flare into soft curves. Her small belly button was semi covered by the water lapping at her skin.I then remembered myself and refocused my gaze from her body to her eyes. But it was too late. My heart hammered in my chest as I felt my blood run south. My chest and stomach tingled and burned as the flames of lust tickled my manhood.

I felt how dry my lips became as I licked them while trying to gather my wits.

"Isabella?" I felt my voice grow deep as I spoke her name. Although I knew it was her, I had to be sure. I had to know she was not a mirage.

It was as if time stood still. The only thing moving and creating sound was the waterfall. Slowly her hands lowered and her doe-like eyes widened considerably as they bore into mine. I could see her blush forming and damn it did nothing to lessen the raging lust within me. I could feel it spike the redder her cheeks became.

What I wouldn't give to feel her blushing cheek. How warm she must feel...how hot...

Her scream brought me back to reality as she turned her back from me. I could see small dimples on her lower waist. My finders itching to touch the small spots. begging to feel her skin under mine.

"Turn around! Please do not turn back until I am out of the water!" She commanded. Her voice broke me from my thoughts yet again as I obeyed her. She was most likely embarrassed from being caught swimming nude and here I was salivating over her like a dog in heat. As heard as it was to turn away from her I did because I did not want to further complicate things. It was bad enough I wanted her but if I did something, anything right now it would only demolished the little progress we have made. I could hear her breaking through the water and scrambling with something but I remained still as a statue. Refusing to move a single muscle. Only allowing myself to breathe.

I knew she had left but I couldn't stop the hammering of my heart. Yes, i wanted to be within her. Feel her. Hear her as we joined together. I wanted to look into her eyes as I took her. Feel her pull me close as desire consumes us. No, I didn't want to fuck Isabella. I wanted something more...I want her in my bed but I also wanted to hold her afterwards. I want to feel her arms around me as her doe eyes bare into my soul. want my name to sound like a caress as she whispers it to me. Never before have I felt a strong desire with someone.

It terrified me.

Months later and I come back to bring you Hades' version. Here is a small Christmas gift for everyone's patience. I have not forgotten about the story. Just grad school and working full-time taking up all my spare time. But I am finally on break and can give you all a gift.
