Here's chapter 3!

Hades POV

Over the next few months, Persephone and I continued to stay in contact. Whether it was her calling for me when she was alone in the fields or if I would appear at night before she went to bed. During those nights, we would sneak out to go sit by the river talking about anything we could think of.

Her mother continued to smother her, making her feel 'like a prisoner in her own home'.

When I asked why she never just left, she told me, "I never really had a reason to leave. I couldn't complain, I had a home and food. If I were to complain, my mother would think I was ungrateful of her and go on a rant about herself."

Showing up on her balcony, she greats me in some white pajama's, kissing me deeply. We haven't gone farther than making out, not wanting to scare her, I kept myself from moving to quickly with her. She moans as I deepen the kiss, our mouths open against each other so that our tongues swirl.

Grinning I pull away from her grabbing her hand, "Come on, let's go!"

Laughing, she lets me pull her behind me as we make our way off the balcony. Running through the fields towards the river, all I can hear is her joyful laughter following behind me. Slowing down as we approach the river, Persephone walks to my side, allowing me to wrap my arm around her waist and pull her to me.

Walking to the edge I stop her from sitting down.

Looking up at me questioningly, she frowns. "What's wrong, Hades?"

Clearing my throat I begin, "How would you feel about living in the Underworld, with me, that is?"

Her head swings to mine so fast that I worry she hurt herself. Reaching over, I cup the back of it in my hand, making sure that this isn't any injury.

"You want me to go down to the Underworld with you?"

I nod, not responding to give her time to voice her thoughts.

"Why?"

Getting down on one knee, I take the small box out of my pants pocket before showcasing the engagement ring. It's a big black diamonds surrounded by smaller white diamonds on a silver band. When I saw it I could see how it represented us.

My dark soul surrounded by the light that is Persephone.

"Will you marry me and become my Queen?"

She pushes me to the ground so I'm on both of my knees before straddling me and slamming her lips to mine.

"Is that a yes?" I can't stand not knowing any longer.

"Yes."

We've been kissing for I don't know how long now, her still on my lap with her fingers in my hair. My hands have been roaming from her back to her ass, squeezing her cheeks, making her moan against my mouth.

Pulling away from her lips I catch my breath.

"When do you want to move?" I pant.

"Tonight." She responds before kissing me again.

Pulling away, I look into her eyes. "Tonight? What about your mother?"

"I'll leave her a note explaining everything."

Grinning, I stand before pulling her up.

"Let's go."

"Get changed into something a little bit warmer and only grab anything that you absolutely need, okay?" She nods before rushing into her room.

I can't believe this is finally happening. I know that Demeter isn't going to be happy that her daughter is marrying the King of the Underworld, but I hope that she doesn't cause any huge problems. Zeus knows that I wished to take Seph as my queen, he gave me permission to do so.

Footsteps sound behind me as Seph appears. "I'm ready to go." She smiles at me.

My eyes rake over her body. She's wearing all black, similar to my outfit, a leather jacket, a short tank top that hugs her breasts, and some black ripped jeans with black boots. She smiles when seeing my gawking, walking over to me, and pulling my head down for another searing kiss.

Placing one last soft kiss on my lips she whispers, "Let's go!"

Persephone POV

Most people imagine the Underworld as a dreadful place, filled with screams of the supposed tormented souls in Tartarus. It's quite the opposite actually, filled with the beauties of Earth, minerals, and jewels as far as the eye can see. We are traveling the Styx River with Charon paddling the boat, Hades palace comes in to view.

It's beauty rivals that of Zeus palace, it's grandness and beauty showing how priceless it is. Docking, Hades leads me off the boat before taking off running towards the castle, dragging me behind him.

"Slow down, Hades! I can't run as fast as you!" I laugh.

Stopping abruptly, he turns before throwing me over his shoulder and continuing to the palace. I laugh at his child-like character.

Opening the huge palace doors, he sets me on my feet. We are inside a huge room decorated with golds, reds, blacks, and greys. At the main part of the room sits two thrones, one smaller than the other.

Looking where my eyes are trained to, Hades explains. "Those are our thrones, my queen, where we will rule the Underworld from. Now come, I have other things to show you."

Pulling my hand, he leads me out of the throne room and up a flight of stairs leading into a hallway. The color theme maintains consistent throughout the castle, giving away Hades' attempt at making is feel more modern and welcoming. At the end of the hallway, we come to a grand black door.

"This is the master chamber," he says before opening the door.

Inside is a huge and bright master bedroom with a bed and canopy facing towards a balcony overlooking his vast kingdom. A fireplace sits in the corner with two chairs facing it. Leading me through one of the doors connecting to the bedroom, we enter into a grand closet filled with more clothes than I have ever seen.

"This is my side," he gestures with his hand. "And this is yours."

Shirts, skirts, pants, dresses, shoes of all kinds, jewelry, and any accessory imaginable fill the left side of the grand closet. In the corner is a beautiful vanity filled with makeup, skincare, and many different types of perfume. At the center of the room is a circular couch decorated with many pillows.

Leading me out of the room he opens another door, "This is the bathroom."

"Holy shit! It's huge!" He laughs at my word choice.

A jack and jill sink sits in front of a huge mirror to one side, an amazing walk-in shower just opposite of it. But the focal point of the bathroom is the magnificent bathtub overlooking the Underworld, similar to the bedroom. A cabinet built into the wall holds many luxurious soaps and candles.

Walking back out to the balcony, Hades positions himself behind me, wrapping his arms around my neck. Brushing my hair to the side, his mouth meets my neck nibbling up to tug on my earlobe. Turning around I kiss him hard before jumping up and wrapping my legs around his waist.

We are all hands and mouths as he deposits me on the bed, his mouth not leaving mine.

Sort of a cliffhanger. Sexy time with Hades and Persephone next though!
