Chapter Three

Ares crawled over to Aphrodite and ran his fingertips over her jawline up to her high cheekbones. "I have travelled to thousands of worlds, conquered numerous planets and galaxies but I have never seen a woman who is more beautiful than you are."

He ran his fingers over the golden bejewelled bracer that she wore on her left forearm and took a closer look at the many pieces of jewellery she wore. Rings, necklaces, amulets, bangles and even jewelled piercings. Ares could identify sapphires, rubies, jades and many other jewels. "You really have an eye for beautiful things. You know exactly what to wear to catch anyone's attention. You don't even need all these pieces of jewellery nor do you need to wear anything at all. Your nude form is enough to catch anyone's attention."

Aphrodite's smile became wider. "Thank you. You know exactly what I want to hear."

He caressed her cheeks once again. "I know you better than anyone else. I could tell you so much more about what I love about you but I'm certain you have already heard it out of numerous mouths."

Aphrodite covered his hand with her own, watching his smile become wider. They were silent for several minutes, doing nothing but staring into each other's eyes. Aphrodite was the one who broke the pleasant silence eventually. "You are very brave to show up without a gift for me, my dear. But your charming words shall do it for today. But next time, I would love it if you bring me something you found during your travels and raids"

"Well, I didn't come without a gift. I am the gift."

Aphrodite giggled. "Not bad. Even though you prefer violent solutions over diplomatic solutions, you are very skilled with words. Seems Athena taught you a thing or two."

Ares ran his fingers over her right upper thigh, along her waist and ribs to her shoulder. "Let's not talk about my sister in such an intimate moment," he whispered.

A cheeky grin appeared on Aphrodite's lips. "Would you rather talk about why Corsa's scent sticksto your body?"

Ares raised a brow. "I thought you didn't mind that I sleep with her and some of your other children."

The Goddess of Love ran her fingers through her lover's crimson mane. "Of course not. I was just joking. I'm really happy for the two of you. Her interest in you proves that she inherited her taste in handsome men from me."

"That's not the only thing she inherited from you. She has her self-confidence and her beauty from you."

The pink-haired woman giggled. "All of my children are beautiful even those I begot with other women through magical rituals."

"Which such a gorgeous mother, a child can just be beautiful. There is no way it cannot."

Aphrodite caressed his left cheek softly. "You are flattering me."

"I'm just speaking the truth."

"And for that you shall be rewarded. Speaking the truth should always be rewarded."

Ares' grinned. "I'm curious how your reward looks like."

"You'll find out soon, my dear. But for now, I want to talk a little longer."

Ares raised an eyebrow, surprise could be seen in his eyes. "You rarely talk with your guests except for dirty talk or flirting."

The goddess tilted her head a little. "You almost sound like all the other gods who think that I only have sex on my mind. I also like to have social interactions with others and not just sex. Just you know."

Ares lifted his hands in defence. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean it that way," he apologized.

"I know but I just wanted to mention that I also like to chat, especially with you. Sex is not the only activity I love to do."

Ares wrapped his arms around Aphrodite's waist and pulled her on his lap slowly. "Let's talk then. Do you have anything in mind you want to talk about?"

Aphrodite put her arms around his neck and caressed the back of his head. "Tell me anything that comes to your mind."

"Really anything? Even when it involves war?"

"Maybe not about war or fighting in general. You know my opinion about the meaningless slaughtering you, your children and your subordinates love. I would rather want to know something about your personal life."

Ares felt honoured that Aphrodite was interested in his life. He knew that she usually didn't care about the lives of those she made love to. She usually just fucked them and then threw them out without talking much to them. That was another proof that he was very important for Aphrodite. She would even wait to seduce him to have a nice chat with him. She would only do that with very few people. He had always known that their relationship was more than just sex. She felt more than just sexual desire for him. Her feelings for him were stronger than for anyone else.

"Well, besides my many successful conquests in the past years, there is not much to talk about. When I'm not busy fighting somewhere or conquering nations, worlds or galaxies, I either train my students, warriors and children or spend time with my children and lovers."

"You are desired by lots of women. Immortals, mortals and half-goddesses. It doesn't surprise me at all. With your look and reputation, you can have any woman. I also have a lot of female lovers but not as many as you," responded Aphrodite.

"Maybe that's because there are more women who are just attracted to men than women who are just attracted to women or to men and women"

"You are not wrong about that. But the percentage of women attracted to other women seems to have grown over time. If it was up to me, everyone should be attracted to all genders. Would make things more fun to me but in the end, everyone shall love who they want and no one should be judged for their sexual preferences when it comes to gender."

"Well said, my dear. I always wonder who do you prefer more. Men or women?"

"That question is easy to answer. I love both genders equally. I do not prefer one gender over the other when it comes to sex. Men might have dicks but all the women I made love to were very skilled with their tongues and fingers. Not to mention that we can also use toys. Having sex with a man or a woman doesn't feel much different to me."

Ares pointed at the pink dildo Aphrodite had used much earlier and put away at some point. "You mean toys like this."

She nodded. "It doesn't feel as great as a man's cock but it serves its purpose."

"Maybe I will put that thing in one of your holes while I fill the other with my cock," Ares whispered into her ear with an erotic voice.

A perverted grin appeared on the pink-haired woman's lips. "I'm looking forward to experiencing that."

Ares copied her grin. "So do I."

"What are we waiting for then?"

Ares chuckled. "You were the one who wanted to talk, just saying. If it was up to me, I would already lay on top of you and my big cock would penetrate your inner walls."

The teasing tone in Aphrodite's voice was unmistakable as she asked her lover a question. "Who said I'm letting you top?"

"So, you want to sit on me and ride me?"

Aphrodite's voice became more erotic. "I would love to look down on you and see the pleasure in your eyes while I ride you."

"That sounds great to me but I rather have you under me or in front of me."

Aphrodite bit her bottom lip in anticipation. "That sounds great too but I prefer topping you at the beginning. Especially since you dominated my daughter. I need to do something to restore our family honour."

"And you think you can achieve that by dominating me in return?" Ares asked curiously.

"Not really, I just said that as a joke but I still think it's a good start."

Ares leaned forward and shoved Aphrodite off his lap, pushing her onto the mattress. He leaned above her and put his hands on her wrists, pressing them down. He pinned her onto the bed, preventing her to get up. "Seems you are trapped beneath me. You have forgotten that I'm much more physically stronger than you are."

Aphrodite was still grinning at him, the look on her face told Ares that she wouldn't give up so easily. "I have not forgotten about your impressive strength, my dear. But it seems you have forgotten about the powers I possess."

Ares raised an eyebrow at her, wondering what she was trying to say. Nothing happened at first but then Aphrodite's hair began to grow suddenly. Before he could do anything, her hair had wrapped itself tightly around his wrists and ankles, applying pressure. Ares didn't feel any pain but he noticed that his strength was leaving him as if Aphrodite was sucking out his power with her hair. He tried to get free but he found himself unable to escape the tight embrace of the long pink mane.

"What is this...," the God of War cursed silently.

"You are in my realm, what do you expect? Everything goes by my rules. I can suppress anyone's powers here if I want," the goddess explained. Ares watched with widened eyes as he was lifted up by her hair, as if he was as light as a feather, and thrown back on the mattress. He landed on his back with his limbs stretched out in all four directions. He couldn't lift his arms or legs, no matter how hard he tried.

Aphrodite moved to him, sitting down next to him. "I know you don't like to be powerless but I can guarantee you that you will love it. Trust me."

"I trust you more than anyone else," replied Ares.

"I would never do you any harm, my dear," she spoke softly, her grin became wider the next moment. "Unless you want to be hurt, my dear."

Ares shook his head. "No, I don't. I'm not a masochist."

"You rather inflict pain than receiving it," Aphrodite joked.

The look that appeared on her lover's face told her that he didn't find it funny. "I didn't mean it that way. I'm sorry, my dear."

"If you want to apologize, you could let me go. I think you demonstrated your dominance enough."

Aphrodite's smile didn't change in the slightest. "Nah, I actually like your current position. I know you like to be the dominant one but sex is about giving and taking, not just taking."

Ares exhaled loudly. "You are right, my love. If it makes you happy, then I will remain on my back."

Aphrodite climbed on top of him and put her hand around his manhood, giving it a few slow strokes. "I wonder how many times I can make you cum this time until you cannot take it anymore."

Ares bit his bottom lip softly as the first wave of pleasure rushed through his body. Aphrodite hadn't done much yet except giving him a few slow strokes but the pleasure he felt was at the same level as the pleasure he had felt when he had dominated Corsa. No matter what she was doing, it always felt better than with any other woman.

"Don't you want to release me?" he asked his beloved.

Aphrodite smirked devilishly. "No, not really. I don't want to give you an opportunity to flip me around and climb on top of me. Besides, I really like bondage sex and I'm certain you will enjoy it as well."

The crimson-haired man sighed. "Fine, do as you please."

"There is something missing," mentioned the goddess.

"What?" He didn't need to wait long to find out what she meant. His eyes were covered by Aphrodite's hair a few moments later. He was blindfolded, so he could no longer see her breath-taking appearance but he could still hear her angelic voice and feel her soft hand around his cock. He could feel her soft and well-formed butt on his upper thighs.

At first, Ares didn't like to be blindfolded but the more time passed and the better he felt, the more he liked it. Aphrodite was stroking his cock with a much faster pace than before, her other hand toyed with his balls. Her lover's moans were loud and frequent but not loud and frequent enough for her liking. She knew he could be louder, she just had to cause more pleasure to him but that was one of her easiest tasks. She wouldn't be the Goddess of Love, Beauty and Sexuality if she couldn't make him feel great.

"I'm not pregnant, so we have the opportunity to make another child if you want. I made sure no one else made me pregnant since your last visit. I saved my womb just for you."

"I would love to knock you up and put another child in your womb," Ares said happily.

Aphrodite's smile reached from one ear to the other as she removed her hand from Ares' balls and spread her southern lips, inserting his cock into her womanhood. A moan escaped her lips as it penetrated her inner walls and reached the deepest spot of her womanhood, filling her completely.

"Oh yes!" Ares moaned out when her inner walls tightened around his manhood, another moan escaped his lips as she began to move her hip up and down and back and forth. She even moved her hips in circles, causing his moans to become louder and more frequent.

But he was not the only one whose vocal accords were producing these lovely sounds. Aphrodite was also moaning but her moans were not as loud and frequent as her lover's. Nevertheless, she couldn't deny she was enjoying what they were doing. She loved to be in this position. She loved to be in any position as long as it made her feel great.

Ares began to move his hips too, pumping his dick in and out without pausing. The pleasure both gods felt increased drastically but Ares was the one who was the most affected. The waves of pleasure that rushed through his body were abnormally strong, way too strong for Ares' body to handle. He tried to hold out as long as possible but he couldn't take it anymore after a few minutes. He moaned out her name loudly as his dick twitched and released a large amount of cum inside her.

Aphrodite smiled down at her lover, who was breathing heavily, and put a hand on his chest, muttering a few words. Her magic allowed Ares to recover very quickly, meaning he was ready for the next round after only a few moments. "That was climax number one," she announced.

She leaned forward and laid herself on top of her lover, putting her hands on his cheeks. She brought her lips to his, kissing him passionately. Ares found no words to describe how great her lips felt as he returned the kiss. She was by far the best kisser he had ever met. She was by far the best lover he ever had. There was no woman who was better than her. No woman he knew at least.

Aphrodite's tongue entered Ares' mouth, when he parted his lips and gave her access, and began to explore it. She had kissed him so often that she knew his mouth like the back of her hand but she still loved to lick every reachable corner with her skilled tongue. Ares' tongue eventually found its way in Aphrodite's mouth and did the same. The kiss endured for quite a while because neither of them needed to breathe. They could survive without oxygen, so they had no reason to pull away so soon.

Only when Aphrodite noticed that her lover was about to come again, she ended the kiss and allowed him to moan out loudly as he shot more of his sperms into her womanhood.

"Two," Aphrodite announced happily. She rubbed her huge breasts against Ares' chest, waiting for her magic to work. She sat up again and regarded her lover from above, smiling as she recognized the sweat that covered his skin. The stench of sweat hit her nose but she didn't mind that. It wasn't a turn-off, on the contrary, the strong stench of male sweat was a real turn-on for her.

She ran her fingers over his muscular chest and his well-shaped abs, putting kisses on his torso. She ran her tongue over his skin, enjoying the sweat she tasted. She did that for some time, she even ran her tongue over his nipples but that didn't affect him at all.

She put kisses on his neck and even bit his skin, leaving marks behind which will eventually turn into love bites. She kissed his cheeks and jawline once she was done marking him as her territory and even took his earlobe between her teeth, biting it gently.

The goddess sat up once she was done with teasing her lover and regarded her work once again with a pleased smile on her lips. Dozens of pink lipstick prints covered his skin. Mostly on his torso but there were also many prints on his neck and face.

She lifted her right hand a little, loosening the grip of her hair around Ares' wrist and ankles. Ares didn't need much longer than a few seconds to get free. He removed the blindfold quickly, sat up and pulled Aphrodite onto his lap.

"You had your way with me, Aphrodite. Now it's my turn."

Aphrodite grinned at him but said nothing, running her fingers through Ares' wet crimson hair. She pulled on his hair, forcefully bringing his head to her chest. She put his head between her breasts, rubbing her soft rounds against his face. She said nothing as she felt Ares' hands on her butt cheeks, not even when he began to knead them. She bit her bottom lip as hard as she could, suppressing a moan from escaping her lips.

She giggled softly as she felt Ares' wet tongue circling over her left breast. She released his head eventually, allowing him to pull back and take her left nipple between his lips. He sucked on her nipple like a baby on its mother's breast but he didn't expect any liquid to come out.

He was really surprised as he tasted a small amount of milk in his mouth. He knew that Aphrodite's body was much different from the bodies of other women. It was not unlikely that her body would start producing milk the moment she would become pregnant. The chances were pretty high that the sperms of his first load had already reached her womb and one of them had slipped in her ovum and fertilized it.

He didn't have to release more loads inside her but he knew that Aphrodite loved it when someone came inside her. Especially when that person was him. He also knew that each load of cum would bring her closer to her orgasm. Not to mention that Aphrodite wanted to break her old record and make him cum more than twenty-three times.

The milk was pretty delicious, so Ares was a little disappointed that not more was coming out. Nevertheless, he really enjoyed sucking on his lover's breasts and also groping her juicy butt cheeks. He moved his hips up and down while he did that, making himself and his lover feel great with each strong thrust he made. He switched breasts eventually and took her other nipple between his teeth, biting it gently. Aphrodite moaned out and brought one of her hands to her left breast, kneading the nipple Ares had just sucked on between two of her fingers.

The combination of Ares sucking on her breast and thrusting his dick against her deepest spot and herself playing with her other nipple turned out to be really effective when it came to bringing her closer to her orgasm. She came closer and closer with each thrust he made, with each time the tip of his manhood hit her most sensitive spot. It was only a matter of time until the God of War would bring the Goddess of Love to her first orgasm of the day.

Even though she was so close, it was Ares who came first but the load that shot out of the tip of his dick triggered Aphrodite's orgasm. She pressed herself tightly against Ares, the loudest moan she had produced so far escaped her lips as her inner walls contracted and released a secretion a few moments later. Unlike her lover, she was not exhausted at all and didn't need time to recover.

"Three times already," the goddess whispered in the god's ear.

Ares smirked. "And one time for you."

Aphrodite ran her fingers through her hair. "What shall I say? You are pretty good at the art of love."

Ares pressed a soft kiss on her cheek. "Must mean a lot coming from your mouth."

"It does. No man or woman can make me cum in less than an hour. No man's sex is still stiff after ejaculating inside me three times, not to mention that you came three times when you had fun with my servants."

"I can only endure so long because of your magic."

"That's not true. Any man who is affected by my magic can come around three or four times before their sex becomes slack and they are too exhausted to continue. Your stamina combined with my magic allows you to endure so long. Your perseverance is impressive."

"So is yours. You don't need to relax after you came. You can continue as if nothing had happened."

"I wouldn't be the Goddess of Love if I would need time to recover after coming one time. You will have to make me come more often if you want to see any signs of exhaustion."

Ares' grin became as wide as possible. "Challenge accepted."

Aphrodite's lips formed the same type of grin. "That won't be easy, my dear. I'm a tough person even though I don't look like one."

"You are tougher than most women I know." With these words Ares enclosed the distances between their faces and kissed Aphrodite again, taking her by surprise when he inserted his tongue right away before Aphrodite could do it. Their tongues fought for dominance but Ares' won surprisingly and so he took advantage of the momentum and pushed Aphrodite onto the mattress, pinning her down.

The first thing Aphrodite saw when she realised what happened was the predatory smile on Ares' lips as he leaned above her and looked down at her. She had a feeling of déjà vu. She had been in the exact position not so long ago. She could turn the tides once again and pin Ares down but she didn't do that. He had taken her by surprise, so she gave him this victory and allowed him to do what he wanted with her.

"Well done, my love," she complimented. "I didn't see that coming."

"Thank you, my beloved. Now I can finally have my way with you."

Aphrodite's blue eyes reflected anticipation. "I'm not stopping you," she said erotically. "Do as you please."

Ares' smile grew even wider as he continued to regard his beloved like a predator his prey. He knew that she was at his mercy, that he could do anything he wanted with her. It was his turn to decide what to do. He had an idea and he was certain that his beloved would like this idea as well.

Ares removed his hands from her wrists, trusting Aphrodite that she wouldn't try anything or move away. As expected, Aphrodite didn't move an inch even though she could. Her facial expression showed curiosity as she regarded him. The god put his hands in the back of her knees and pulled her legs up until her knees were at the same height as her breasts. He stretched her legs out and raised them all the way up until her ankles were behind her head.

"The Seashell. Great choice of you," commented Aphrodite. She didn't move her legs, keeping her feet behind her head. It was not the first time she laid in this position which was more comfortable than it looked like. She had no problem lying like this for hours if necessary but she knew Ares wouldn't make her lie like this for too long. It was only a matter of time until he would change their position.

The crimson-haired man slowly laid down on the pink-haired woman and inserted his dick inside her. He propped himself up on the mattress with one arm, his other hand wandered to Aphrodite's neck. "Do what you want to do, my love. I don't mind a little choking," the goddess said reassuringly.

Ares enclosed his hand around her throat, making sure his grip was not too tightly before he started to choke her as he moved his hips back and forth. Aphrodite had to admit that the choking gave her an additional thrill which caused that the pleasure she felt was much more intense than it would be if he would just penetrate her inner walls and hit her deepest spot over and over again. She didn't have to be afraid that she would suffocate because she didn't need to inhale air, she just hoped he wouldn't put too much pressure on her throat. She didn't mind the pain as long as it was not too strong.

Aphrodite said nothing, the only sounds that escaped her lips were moans which were pretty loud and frequent despite the fact that Ares squeezed her throat. Ares wouldn't be able to silence her no matter how hard he would choke her. One of her hands played with her right breast, the other rested between her legs and toyed with her clit. The additional stimulation made her feel much better.

Ares came after nearly fifteen minutes, releasing another load inside his lover.

"Four. We have a long way before us if we want to break our old record," Aphrodite remarked.

"Don't worry, babe. I'm not even close to being exhausted yet."

"Not yet maybe but who knows how things look like when you come ten more times."

"You better use more of your magic then if you really want to break that record."

The goddess smirked. "Don't worry, I have a few aces up in my sleeves."

Ares returned her smirk but said nothing. He removed his hand from her throat and placed both of his hands on her hips. He pulled his dick out, not caring that a portion of their mixed cum flowed out of her womanhood and landed on the sheets.

He wrapped his arms around her andclamped his forearms in the backs of her knees, putting his hands behind her head. He squatted slightly, going in a position as if he was sitting on a chair and sat her on his thighs. Aphrodite's knees were on the same height as her head but her legs were in front of her head this time and not partly behind.

"Is this comfortable enough for you?" Ares asked.

"It is," the Goddess of Love assured.

Ares inserted his cock inside her once again, lifting her up and down on it. More moans escaped Aphrodite's lips, the longer he did that the more frequent her moaning became. It slowly turned into a melody. A melody Ares enjoyed to hear. There wasn't any melody he would rather want to hear than her moaning.

He lifted her higher eventually, his strong arms were enough to hold her in the air. There was not even the slightest chance that she might fall.

Ares came inside her two times before he sat her back on the bed, watching more fluid flowing out of her pussy. He waited until he felt ready to continue and joined her, taking a seat next to her.

Aphrodite shifted onto her right side and stretched her legs out, propping her head on her right hand. "Tired already?" she asked teasingly.

Ares huffed. "Not even close to being tired." He got behind her and laid down, pressing his body against hers. He wrapped an arm around her and put the other in the back of her knee, lifting her leg up.

"I can't get enough of your dick, Ares," Aphrodite moaned out when she felt him inside her again.

"Can you keep your leg up for me? Can you do that?"

"Sure," she answered without hesitation. "What do you have in mind?"

Ares began to kiss her neck. "You will find out soon."

Aphrodite didn't need to wait long to find out what he wanted to do. She felt something being gently pressed against her butt hole. It was nothing organic, it was something artificial. She could only assume that it was the toy she had used much earlier. It didn't surprise Ares at all that her butt hole widened without much resistance. He needed a few tries but then he successfully showed the false cock inside her butt, causing the loudest moan, her vocal cords had produced so far, to escape her lips.

Not only did Ares pump his cock in and out, but he also did the same with the dildo. He double penetrated her, making her next orgasm come dangerously close. Aphrodite gave her best to stop her next orgasm from approaching but her body betrayed her, so she reached her limit before she wanted. She cried out her lover's name as she came for the second time of the day. Ares continued to pump the two cocks in and out while she rode out her orgasm, reaching his limit a few moments after Aphrodite was done. He came once again, filling her womanhood for the seventh time.

They changed positions frequently. Sometimes, Ares had the upper hand. Sometimes, Aphrodite was the one in control. Sometimes it was Ares who laid on his back, sometimes, Aphrodite sat on all four while Ares took her from behind like a wild animal. At some point Ares found himself tied to a chair. The bonds were nothing else than Aphrodite's hair. They tried a lot of different positions, they even just laid next to each other and pleasured the other with their hands. They even pleasured each other orally at the same time.

They tried everything that came to their minds until Ares' body refused to move after quite some time. Aphrodite had lost count of how much time had passed but she hadn't lost count of how many times she made her beloved come.

"Twenty-five times."

"Hm?" Ares slowly turned his head to her, his tired eyes landed on her. The expression on his face clearly showed how exhausted he was.

"You came twenty-five times. We did it!" she announced happily.

A weak smile appeared on his lips. "Congratulations."

"We wouldn't have managed to do it if you wouldn't have drunk my love juice but we did it and that's all that matters."

"I have almost forgotten about the refreshing effect of your love juice."

Aphrodite snapped with her fingers and let a pink flacon appear in her hand. She handed it to her lover without hesitation. "Take it and keep it for the next time we meet."

Ares smirked. "I rather prefer drinking it directly from the source but I'll take that as well. Thanks."

Aphrodite's smile was even much wider than Ares'. "No need to thank me."

"Before I forget, Corsa wanted to see you as soon as we are done."

"I wonder what she wants this time," Aphrodite said more to herself than to Ares. The way she stressed the sentence made Ares assume that Aphrodite already knew what her daughter wanted.

"She said she wants to spend some time with you."

Aphrodite chuckled. "Oh, I know exactly what she wants to do."

Soft laughter escaped Ares' lips. "That horny slut."

Aphrodite elbowed him in the rips. "Hey, that's my daughter you are talking about."

Ares wrapped his arm around the goddess and pulled her much closer to him, pressing her against him. "I was just joking, I didn't mean to insult her. I'm sorry."

Aphrodite smiled. "Apology accepted," she responded and put her hands on his cheeks, pulling him in a soft and passionate kiss that quickly turned into making out. They were done after half an hour, soft laughter escaped Aphrodite's lips as she regarded her beloved. There were dozens of lipstick marks all over his face and neck, making him look silly.

"You should wash your face before you leave my temple."

"Who said I'm leaving?" Ares asked jokingly.

"Didn't you tell me you'll leave as soon as you can?" Aphrodite asked with feigned scepticism.

"What if I changed my mind?" he asked playfully.

Aphrodite's gaze wandered to his neck, noticing the pink glowing symbol that stuck on his skin like a tattoo. Her charm was still affecting him, which explained his statements. She brought her hand to his neck, gently touching the symbol. It began to fade as soon as she pulled her hand back, vanishing within a few seconds.

Ares began to blink a few times, shaking his head quickly. His eyes became focused again and landed on her, the look in them was totally different to the previous look. "Why did I say that?" he asked eventually.

"You were still affected by my charm, that's why you didn't want to go. I just removed the mark."

Ares ran his fingers over her forearm. "I see." He laid down on the mattress and pulled his lover with him, wrapping his arms around her. He put a hand on her belly, caressing it carefully as if he was afraid that he might accidentally hurt the unborn baby if he would make a wrong move. "Our child will be strong and beautiful, I'm certain it will become like its siblings."

"Child? You mean children."

Ares raised a brow, a mix of confusion and surprised appeared on his face. "Children? Are you saying that..."

Aphrodite put a hand on his face and caressed his cheek. "Yes, Ares. I'm saying that we are getting more than one child."

"How can you be so sure?"

"I just know it. I have never been wrong about that."

Ares' lips formed a happy smile. "You cannot imagine how happy I'm at the moment. You are making me the happiest man of the world."

Aphrodite kissed him softly. "I'm happy that we are still together after everything we have been through. I'm glad that the Sisters of Fate brought us together."

"So am I."

"When do you plan to return to me, my love?"

"As soon as the harbingers of the void are defeated. You heard of them, didn't you?"

Aphrodite nodded. "I have. My servants told me about them and so did Keyn and Remuluz. They said the harbingers are stronger than anyone else our pantheon had fought before. But I'm certain you can defeat them. You are the strongest and bravest man I ever met. I believe in you."

Ares' smile almost reached his ears. "I think we can stop them with the help of the other pantheons and the item you stored for me."

Just as Ares finished his sentence, a knock was heard at the door. "Come in," Aphrodite shouted loud enough.

The door was opened and a young lightly dressed woman entered the room. She was smaller than most women that lived in the temple, had fiery red hair and two furry ears on top of her head. She was a vixen, a creature that was half human and half fox. Besides her ears, she also had a tail like a fox but her physique was human. She had a beautiful humanoid face with gorgeous green eyes and a cute little nose.

The vixen didn't hesitate to walk over to the bed, her cheeks were not even a little red as she caught sight of the nude god couple. Only when she reached the bed, Ares recognized the black box in her hands.

Aphrodite's gaze also landed on the box. "I assume you found it."

The servant nodded and removed the lid, revealing a crystalline purple glowing skull that had twice the size of a human skull.

"Perfect," Ares said quietly as he stretched his arm out and took the skull out of the box. He could feel a large amount of power that was stored in the object when he touched it for the first time. It was as powerful as he remembered. He had no doubt that the skull will be pretty useful against the creatures of the void. "Thank you," he said to the vixen.

"You can go now, Aleene. Thanks," Aphrodite said to her servant.

The redhead smiled at her mistress and lowered her head in respect. Aphrodite leaned forward and pressed a soft kiss on Aleene's forehead, smiling as she saw her cheeks turn the same colour as her hair. She whispered something in her ear, causing her blush to become deeper. Her eyes rested on the fox's butt as watched her leave, her attention was drawn back to Ares once the fox had left the room and closed the door behind her.

"I assume you want to leave now," she said. There was a very small amount of disappointment in her voice. It was so small that Ares almost missed it. He knew her too well to not notice it.

He put her face in his hands and caressed her cheeks as he kissed her deeply and passionately. "Don't worry, my love. I will return to you as soon as I can."

"I miss you already."

"I miss you too." He kissed her again, knowing he wouldn't be able to feel her tongue inside his mouth for an unknown amount of time. He enjoyed every single moment of the kiss thatmade his synapses go crazy. He stayed with her a little longer although the kiss had already ended.

Nevertheless, he got up from the bed eventually. His gaze rested on her when he put his clothes back on and didn't even leave her when he made his way to the door after he had said goodbye to her. He regarded her one last time, returning the blown kiss before he left the room with the crystalline skull.
