Don't worry, kitties! We're almost there! Just a little bit longer I promise. It took twenty four chapters but it happened! More to come. Enjoy,

Yours sincerely,

As he kisses me, he fondels my tongue ring and he flies back with a puzzled look on his face.

" What is that in your tongue?"

" Its called a tongue ring."

" I have never heard such a thing."

" Well I guess you've heard that you're a great k-k-isser." Dammit! I was such a fool when talking to a guy I liked. Stupid little girl...

" We must move on. I fear that

" So. You anialated Hermes?" I said looking ar his boots.

" Yes."

" I can't hold this in anymore. Hermes was in love with me, but I didn't feel the same way... still don't... I hated him! He would kiss and touch me! I hated that! Acouple nights before you came and got me, he poisoned me, numbing my body so he can rape me in my own bed! That is some fucked up shit!(standing up, turning away from him to hide her tears. Kratos gets up and slowly walks over to her, turns her around by her shoulders to look at her in the eyes)"

" Let me guess: 'Suck it up' Maliyah."

" No. You won't have to worry about anybody raping you.(He touches her face and pulls her teary face and kisses her)"

I had guessed that I was the only one who saw the kind of soft side of Kratos. Lets see if we can go further...

"(Yawns)I'm tired. We should get some sleep, babe." As he was removing his blades, I caught him rubbing his neck in pain.

" I am not tired. You can rest."

" What's wrong with your neck?"

" Nothing. Go to sleep."

" Uh uh. You need a massage." I walked over behind him to try to massage him.

" What are you doing? I do not wish to be touched."

" Kratos relax! You don't always have to repel people away."

" Go to sleep and leave me be."

" Wait, so you can touch me, but I can't touch you? Foolishness!" He looked back at me in the corner of his eye.

" Mhmm. That's what I thought. Now let me help you."

" I need no-" I silenced him with my gentle hands. Rubbing and pressing on his muscular shoulders and neck.

" You're very tense." I started to move my hands down to his back. I loved giving massages to people. It relaxed me and them. This guy was very tense. Slitting and slashing people's arm, throats and legs all the time. He desperately needed this. I noticed something about Spartan men: they hardly showed emotion. They were so rough and tuff, tearing down empires and cities all the time. The only emotion shown was for their wife and children, family. But I guess that's the most important, right?

" Move down- Aahhh...that is good. Make little circles...Aaahhh...(she moves her hands in motions)"

" Lay down on your stomach, so I can do the rest." He obeyed me and lied on his front. I wondered if they heard of the term: I told you so. I slowly stepped my bare feet on his back and walked up and down.

" Your feet are so soft. I will admit it. I needed this." That's when you stop, when they submit.

" (Yawn)I think Im going to take it down now(she steps off of his back)"

" No! Finish what you started!"

" Nuh uh uh! You don't need any of my help." It was kind of late to say this but I still wanted to gloat. I took my place next to him, and turned my back towards him.

" Good night-"

" Before you go to sleep, could you just...scratch my back?"

" Are you sure you want me to do this? I mean, I am HELPING you..."

" Enough with your gloating and do it."

" Ah! Whats the magic word?"

" NOW!"

" Um... I don't think thats it(she shakes her head sarcastically)."

" (He sighs)Please..."

" Ohh don't you love the sound of that word?" I scratched his whole back and heard sighs of relief. After that, I again took my place next to him and finally went to sleep. He fell quickly after me. Another thing I should mention: I ALWAYS get my way, no matter who or what the circumstances are.
