Sorry Jellicos! Here you go my friend! Enjoy! Warning to everyone, Two women in love and acting out their love. Not your cup of tea? Then don't read.
Closing her eyes Aphrodite couldn't believe what was about to happen. Slipping a leg around Athena's she trailed her fingers down her strong back.
Leaning her head down Athena couldn't believe she was about to do. Reaching a hand up she tangled her fingers in Aphrodite's hair then slowly brushed her lips clumsily against her's. She'd never kissed anyone, and she wanted to savor every moment.
The second their lips touched both goddesses moaned loudly. Neither had experienced anything so amazing. For moments they just let their lips linger. There was no hurry and Aphrodite was more then willing to let Athena take her time. She was new to this.
When Athena pulled her lips back ever so slightly Aphrodite whimpered in protest. She opened her eyes and found Athena looking at her. "This isn't right." Athena said softly but she didn't sound very convinced and she didn't move.
"Does it feel right?" Aphrodite asked as she reached a hand up and tangled it in the back of Athena's hair. She licked her lips and smiled at Athena's soft moan. Pulling Athena's head down their lips meet again, but this time the kiss was rougher.
Athena was swimming in pure bliss. The feelings and emotions running through her body felt so natural and so great. She never wanted them to end. She loved the way their lips seemed to fit perfectly together along with their bodies. No wonder mortals enjoyed this part of love so much she thought.
Nipping at Athena's bottom lip Aphrodite shivered when Athena moaned deeply. She was surprised to feel Athena's hand run down her thigh, she didn't think the goddess had it in her to make a move like that.
She liked Athena's touch. It was delicate and gentle. Not rough and demanding like Ares's or needy and uncaring like Zeus's and especially not awkward like Hephaestus's. Running her tongue over her lip Aphrodite was about to take the kiss even deeper when Athena pulled back again.
"I can't do this." She gasped huskily. It was taking every ounce of strength she possessed to pull away from Aphrodite. But she wouldn't be just another name on Aphrodite's long list. Removing her hand from Aphrodite's thigh she sat next to her on the couch and closed her eyes.
Aphrodite frowned and shook her head in confusion. Reaching out she put a hand on Athena's back but flinched when Athena leaped to her feet as if it had burned her. "Why not?" She asked softly as she sat up and ran a shaky hand through her hair.
Turning to look at her Athena felt the sting of tears in her eyes. "This." She snarled as she motioned the couch then Aphrodite. "I am not going to be just a name. Not some love struck youth who runs at your beck-and-call." She said venomously while pointing her finger at her.
"Just a name?" Aphrodite repeated with disgust as she stood and put her hands on her hips. It felt like her heart had been ripped out of her chest. She'd never experienced pain like this. Athena, the woman she had just realized she loved was calling her a whore.
Their eyes met and for a moment neither spoke. "I won't be like the rest." Athena swore then turned to leave. Her heart breaking with every second. She didn't know if Aphrodite wanted more then this.
"If you leave now, don't come back." Aphrodite warned as she brought a hand up to her chest as if holding her heart in her body. She felt the tears in her eyes but refused to let them fall.
"Get out of my heart!" Athena cried out in anguish as she spun around to face Aphrodite. "What ever curse you have put over me take it off!" She pleaded as she fell to her knees and tears rolled down her cheeks. Grabbing her hair with both hands she pulled at it frantically. "You never leave my heart! And it burns. Why does it burn."
She couldn't hold anything back any more. It was if the kiss had broken the lock on her heart, and all her feelings where gushing forth with frightening speed.
Aphrodite didn't know what to do. Watching Athena break down like this was scaring her. It dawned on her that Athena had been crying about her in the field. The love she was feeling was for her.
Leaning forward Athena sobbed deeply, her shoulders heaving with each ragged breath. Taking a step towards her Aphrodite felt a small smile tugging on her lips. All she wanted to do was comfort Athena. It really was love. This great goddess who everyone thought was so strong and invincible was filled with emotions like all the rest.
"It's love." Aphrodite whispered as she reached a hand out and laid on Athena's head. When she didn't jerk away Aphrodite ran it through her hair. Athena let her own hands drop and wrapped her arms around Aphrodite's waist.
Pressing her face to Aphrodite's stomach Athena cried harder. "Why does it hurt so much." She whimpered through her tears. Smiling down at her Aphrodite continued to play with Athena's hair.
"Because you are trying to run from it. And you can't run from love." She explained as she leaned over and placed a soft kiss on the top of Athena's head.
"I don't want to hurt anymore. I'm tired of being alone." Athena said as her tears slowed slightly. She didn't care if Aphrodite saw her in this weak state. It just felt so good to be with her.
"You aren't alone Athena." Aphrodite whispered as a tear rolled down her face. "I won't let you be alone anymore." She promised. Taking half a step back she moved her hand under Athena's chin and gently lifted her face so they were looking at each other.
Looking up at Aphrodite, Athena felt her heart burst. There was so much love in those eyes that she didn't think there was any on Earth at that moment. "Aphrodite.." She started but was stopped when a finger was placed on her lips.
"Shhh." Aphrodite said as she slowly knelt down in front of Athena. "You are so focused on helping everyone else, and everyone's needs, that you never look after your own." Wrapping her arms around Athena's neck Aphrodite smiled warmly. Bending forward she placed a soft kiss on Athena's nose.
"I love you Athena. I didn't realize it till today." Aphrodite started with a nod of her head when Athena looked at her with wide eyes. "You know I don't lie about love." She whispered in assurance. "I love the way you can charge into battle with no fear, face the strongest scariest giants, yet something as simple as love scares you and makes you run."
Athena blushed and looked at the ground for a moment then lifted her eyes and locked gazes with Aphrodite. "I love the way you smile when you've outsmarted someone but they haven't realized it." moving her hand slowly, Aphrodite pulled the strap of Athena's robe off her shoulder. "And the way you help any one with a good heart." leaning forward she placed a kiss on Athena's bare shoulder.
Athena shivered at the touch and closed her eyes. Her throat was dry and her body felt like it was going to melt. Wrapping her arms tightly around Aphrodite she pulled her close and pressed their lips together.
The kiss was deep and long. Neither goddesses caring if they ever got fresh air into the lungs again. When they finally tore their lips apart Aphrodite let out a sigh and smiled brightly. "You sure you've never done this before?" She asked playfully.
"I'm a quick study." Athena grinned then captured Aphrodite's lips for another kiss. Within minutes they had torn each other's robes' off. Naked skin gleamed, ready for exploration and claiming. "You are so beautiful." Athena breathed as she leaned forward and placed a kiss on Aphrodite's cheek.
Shivering Aphrodite closed her eyes. She had never felt so safe and loved before. Countless lovers had told her she was beautiful. She knew she was, but when it came from Athena's mouth it sounded so great. And made her feel more beautiful then ever.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Aphrodite asked, her voice wavering in fear. She didn't want to ask but she knew that if Athena regretted this it would kill them both. Nodding her head Athena pressed their lips together in a kiss of passion. Cupping Athena's face she pulled back slightly and looked deeply into her gray eyes.
"I love you Athena." She whispered gravely.
"And I...I love you too Aphrodite." Athena whispered. It was hard to say the words that she'd never used before. "I love you, I love you." She repeated then was stopped by Aphrodite's lips.
I am not going to write out the sex scene. I'm sorry if you are disappointed. Maybe I'll write it this week then email it to anyone that wants it. As for the story. It is safe to assume Athena and Aphrodite did it for a couple hours. The next chapter will take place when they are done. And it will answer my dear Jellicos's questions about Ares and Hera. The way I'm working now, it might be up in a day or two.
