Chapter 12 Bad Things Come In Three

Ares POV

I snarled with rage as my muscles grew taut and ready to rip that little shit part an I paced frantically back and forth against the cool marble floor of my penthouse.

My vision a burning red as the very air crackled and filled with tension as Aphrodite watched me pace back and forth this worried frown on her pink lips. His soft blue eyes filled with doubt as she placed a gentle hand on my shoulder stopping me in my furious tracks.

"Dear please you can't say things like that you know how Poseidon and the others would take it since you actually did try to kill him once before and would have if it wasn't for Kronos hold over you." I snarled furiously as my body ached with murderous intent. My muscle ached to be used to slash and break every bone in his body.

This is my little girl my only girl and he dares do this in my home in my fucking kitchen. I mean really did the little shit have no respect hell what the fuck am I talking about. Poseidon had sex in Athena's temple with his girlfriend just to piss her off.

Father like son I can't believe this shit I wanted to pace my legs ached for me to move. But that one loving and tender hand from my Aphrodite stopped me in place.

A heavy breath drifted from my lips as my shoulders dropped and my chest collapse inwardly. Aphrodite let out her own heavy sig has my eyes drifted off toward the kitchen island where I found them at.

I'll have to wash that thing down with dragons breath. "Dear?" I looked up from my thoughts the cluttered confusion drifted from my mind at the sound of her sweet and tender voice.

"Sorry, what did you say?" I looked up from my thoughts making my way into the living room. The soft brown leather recliner staring back at me begging me to sit down. The thundering black sky stared back at me as I dropped heavily into my chair. The cool leather putting my burning skin at ease. My shoulders dropping in relaxation as I leaned into the chair.

My eyelids grow heavy as I slowly took in a few deep breaths my shoulder dipping as my eyes closed surrounding me in darkness. I could hear the lightfoot fall to my right. I knew that it had to be Aphrodite a sweet smile probably pulling at her lips. I didn't know how right I am until I felt a weight in my lap.

I opened my eyes to see Aphrodite's soft blue eyes staring at me an Aegean blue that always seemed to take my breath away. Her beauty is unmatched and I know that is to be expected.

But even in divine standards she always found a way to take my breath away. "You flatter me, my love" A light blush covered her ivory skin as she smiled gently.

Just looking at her put me at ease my heart stopped thundering in my chest as my muscles began to loosen. Her soft golden hair shimmering in the light as she rests her head gently into the crook of my neck. A sweet and loving smile whipping away all the rage that had been plaguing my body. Don't get me wrong I still wanted to kill the little shit but I just didn't have it in me anymore.

"Isn't it better then she isn't harping on the heartbreak that Chris and my daughter caused. Rather than sitting in her room crying." My daughter doesn't cry, a twinge of rage started to burn in my chest as I let out my own heavy sigh. I wrapped my arms around Aphrodite's thin waist cuddling her tightly in my lap as I spoke in a loving voice.

"That doesn't mean that it had to be with that little shit out of all people it had to be him." I might have lost it or at least snarled in rage but the loving caresses to my cheek kept me in line. Her cool Aegean blue gaze staring up at me with love and admiration in her eyes. "You think she did this to spite you but she didn't even think about it like that and if you don't believe me maybe you should speak to her about it."

I let out an easy breath that was the last thing that I wanted to talk about my daughter sex life was not on my list of things to do. I looked down at Aphrodite the soft gentle hints of beauty forcing me to lose in my focus. Her plump pink lips begging me to kiss her and it took everything that I had to focus on the task at hand.

I felt my own hand lifted for her waist to her chin holding her gaze with my hand as I spoke in the calmest and coolest voice that I could manage.

"I want you in my bed that is the deal and its non-negotiable." As my commanding tone bounced off of the living room walls I place a chaste kiss on her soft pink lips. The taste of wine lingering on her lips as I pulled away. Her lust filled and piercing gaze force a cool shudder to go down my spine.

"Whatever you say my love" A flirtatious grin formed on her face as a hint of mischief started to form in her eyes. Within a second she had jumped up from my lap making me feel cold as she ran up the stairs not giving me a second look.

But my own shoulders dipped in annoyance for a minute as I slowly rose from my chair. My legs tense as it took all of my willpower not to collapse into the chair Thinking about this lengthy and uncomfortable conversation forces me to shudder at the thought.

I slowly rose from the chair making my way through the house a slight frown on my face as I stared up at the spiral staircase. A cold sense of dread filled me with regret and doubt. The last thing that I wanted was to deal with this shit right now but here I go.

I took each step mournfully all the way up the stairs case wishing that they would last longer than that. But thanks to my long strong strides I easily made my way up the stairs. Within a few cold steps, I am standing in front of a white door with a do not enter sign on it.

A cold sense of dread filled my chest as I knocked on the door the sound echoing off of the walls as I rained heavily as the door slowly creaked open this is going to be a night from Hades.
