Chapter 6: Is it too early?

Chaos' POV

It has been a couple of months since the "lesson" on if I had feelings for Thalia and I still haven't made my move. I've however spent this time creating a place for her. This will be the place where I will take her for her first date and I will give her passage here forever.

I was thinking of making it like a flowery meadow but I knew that wasn't Thalia's style so I made a grass filled meadow surrounded by all sorts of trees with a tent large enough to be a house where we will dine and where she can go for some downtime.

Down the side of the meadow there is a river, this river has been given special properties like being able to make an iris message for free and it can heal many wounds.

I've made a charm, it's circle in shape with a pine tree in the middle being struck by lightning. If you stroke from the top of the tree to the ground it will take you to Thalia's place. It is made out of a rare black steel that can only be forged in my lands. Using this steel I've made Thalia a bunch of weapons which are currently in her tent.

I know you can't buy love but I want her to defend herself if she needed to. I'd hate the thought of her getting hurt. I also made a fitting outfit that is made from tiny interlinked strands of the steel. I think I chose the right style for her personality.

I've chosen this date specifically so we have a week before Thalia's 16th birthday so she can keep her trousers on until it's the right time. It's not like time matters up here but it is her mortal 16th birthday which should be celebrated.

Her image here is shown as her mental image. E.g. her maturity rather than her actual mortal age. She still looks the same just older.

At breakfast, I told Thalia to get ready to go out and she looked like she was going to burst with excitement and anger, excitement because she doesn't get taken out very much and anger because I wouldn't tell her where we were going.

I am now pacing around my room not being able to decide what to wear. I turn to pace again when I notice a suit laying on the bed with a hint of overpowering fragrance. Aphrodite. I'm glad though because now I don't need to worry about what I'm wearing.

It is a gray suit with a black trim around the edge of the blazer (edge of material) there are a black shirt and a gray tie that matches the suit. There is a pair of black shoes beside my bed and I silently thank Aphrodite.

I start to put on the suit and moments later Aphrodite comes charging in my door and starts to mess around with the suit I'm wearing while muttering "Am I the only one with vision?" after she has messed around with my suit she puts the shoes in front of me.

"Can you at least put shoes on properly?" she almost screams as she goes behind me and puts my hair in a french braid. I put my shoes on trying not to screw up the smallest thing. She huffs and sits by my feet re-tying the laces because apparently, I've done them wrong.

After, she stands and clicks her fingers covering me in a cloud of musky smelling perfume for boys. "I am going to sort out Thalia. Don't mess up my masterpiece!" And after that, she disappears in a cloud of the intoxicating perfume.

I enchant a leather strap to be indestructible and loop the charm through the strap putting it in my pocket.

I looking the mirror to see me looking masculine but not too much that I look like a guy. The black trim complements my hair colour and the gray makes me look not so pale and it almost contrasts with my jet black hair.

I put on my black sports watch and a ring on my thumb. The ring is a jet black, matching the suit very well. This ring can harness any power or creation. Meaning if someone got their hands on it I would have a problem.

However, the ring only fits on the worthy finger. Meaning that if someone wanted to kill all humans and destroy worlds they wouldn't be able to put it on or use it. Quite a useful ring.

I walk out of my room and make my way to Thalia's room to hear Thalia screaming "NO!" and Aphrodite shouting "You need the ribbon to be perfect!" I sigh knowing Thalia wouldn't wear a ribbon so I knocked on the door.

There was a bunch of whispers and Aphrodite opens the door with a nervous Thalia in tow. Aphrodite grabs my wrist and pulls me along too. We head down the corridor to the living space and she pulls us inside.

There were a picnic basket and a bunch of blankets. She throws them in my arms and looks at me aggressively and points her long finger at me. "Screw this up. I will personally break into your house at night and kill you." and with that, she disappeared.

I looked over at Thalia for the first time and my jaw hit the floor. She was wearing a black dress with a gray trim. Contrasting with my suit. The dress reached her knees but it wasn't clinging to her body. She wasn't wearing any makeup and her hair was gelled into shape.

"Hey," was my response. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

"Hey…" She said back mostly nervous.

"I uh. I made you something." I pass her the leather strap with the charm and she laughs at my inside joke. "If you stroke the pine tree from the top to the bottom that will show you what else I made," I say a little more confidently.

She strokes the pine tree and an image of Thalia's place pops up in an iris message kinda thing. I grab her hand and walk her through the image and we walk out in front of the river. She gasps when she realizes it's a real place and looks at me for a moment then jumps on me hugging me tightly. I hug back rubbing her back. "This is your place now Thalia," I whisper in her ear.

"Thank you so much Chaos." She whispers in my ear. I slowly put her down and as I pull away I feel her lips on my cheek. My face flushes bright red and I walk her to the middle of the meadow. Her hand is on my bicep and my arm is bent so she can hold my arm. Her head rests on my shoulder as we walk.

I stop near the middle of the meadow and lay the blankets down. I put the basket next to the blankets and Thalia pulls me down onto the blankets with her. I land on top of her and she looks up at me not moving. We stay there for a long while before I lower my face and kiss her lips softly and thankfully she kissed back.

After a couple of moments of soft and gentle kisses. It turns more passionate. I move my hips between her legs and my hands on her face as I trace my tongue on her bottom lip and she opens her mouth almost instantly. My tongue explores her mouth wanting to touch every last millimeter of her pink talking hole.

Soon enough we were fighting for dominance and I remember what Athena said "When going to make your move you want to make sure you are the dominant" so I did that. I move my hands to her waist and I pull her close she breaks away from the kiss and I lower my head to her neck. Sucking and kissing the pale skin.

I search for her sensitive spot and found it just under her jaw. I could feel her heart pounding in this spot and every time I kiss it she lets out a small groan. My lips wrap around her sensitive spot and start to suck. Her fingers laced into my hair and pulls me closer while almost moaning.

After moments of sucking, I lift my head to see a red blotch. I kiss it softly and look up at Thalia. Her eyes look at me with passion then something else shows in her eyes. Fear. she pushes me away and she pulls herself from under me not looking at me directly.

"Thalia, what's wrong?" I ask moving my hand to her cheek and stroking it softly. A tear falls from her eye as she whispers "Please don't leave me." I look at her and notice she actually thinks I'm going to leave her. I grab her hips and pulling her close and holding her in my arms. I stroke her back slowly as I hold her.

"It's okay, I'm here. Nothing will hurt you while I'm with you." I whisper softly in her ear but that makes her cry harder and grip onto my arm. "That is what you said when you left me." She sobs out.

I've never left her. What is she going on about? And that is when it made sense. Recently her dreams have been getting worse. So bad she'd beg for me to stay… "Are you having dreams about me leaving you?" I ask gently. She nods and whispers "just before the cyclops"

Has she bad dreams about me leaving her? As Well as the Cyclops dream? My heart clenches in emotional pain as I can't stand the fact that my Thalia was hurt by the thought of me leaving.

I hold her closer "I'll never leave you, Thalia. You are my world and if I lost you I wouldn't know what to do." she looks up at me and I lean down giving her a soft kiss. She's a little hesitant but after a little while, she kisses back.

When we pull away from the kiss I nuzzle my nose into her neck rubbing her back. "I'll always be here. I promise," I whisper to her softly. "And I will always be here for you too." She whispers back softly kissing my head.

Authors note: hahaha Chaos gave Thalia a hickey. looking at them dvds for too long I see.
