Thalia
"Zeus? Zeus that I met a couple of weeks ago at your house is my father?"
I wasn't sure what to do, this could all be total bullshit that Nico was spouting just to make sure that I didn't leave or it could be the truth and Zeus really is my father.
"And why should I believe you?" I challenged him.
"Have I ever lied to you about anything major before?" he countered.
He had a point there but it was all a bit too farfetched for me to believe it.
"I'm sorry to say I don't believe you." I responded.
"Nico is not lying Thalia, Zeus is your father. Your mother ran away with you and your brother a while ago for reasons unknown to us, she changed her first name and your brother's first names but left yours untouched and then she adopted a new last name for all of you. She left your name the way it was."
I took a second to absorb all this, "Does Zeus know about this?"
Pluto Di Angelo shook his head. "Zeus is in town though and wants to have dinner; we could all go so that he can be introduced to his family. "
I frowned, "Woah, slow down. I need to see DNA test results or Birth certificates before I agree to all of this. I don't want Jason to be involved in something that turns out to be just a false alarm."
"That can be arranged; I will inform him of the discovery and get some DNA from him. I have some friends at a Lab who can do the analysis for me: just give Nico a strand of your hair or something."
I nodded as he placed his suit back on and packed up all his stuff before heading out of the office door. Once again I was left alone with Nico.
He stared at me for a few minutes in the room filled with silence and all I could do was stare back. Eventually, he looked down and sighed, "So you're really not pregnant?" he asked, I nodded.
I expected him to look happy about this turn of events but actually, he looked rather…disappointed. "You don't seem too happy about that." I mentioned. His head snapped up, "Why would I be happy?"
"Because you're the heir to a billion dollar company, you're 25, and it wasn't planned. Hell, we're not even in a relationship. I'm pretty sure that when you told your father he wanted to kill you." I ranted, "Let's not forget the fact that you and your father clearly thought this was a ploy for me to get married to money." I ranted.
He stayed silent for a few seconds and then shook his head and sighed. "I called you the night I got to Milan and you didn't let me talk, you jumped to conclusions. Why on earth would you ever believe I would fire you because I got you pregnant, wouldn't that just be counter-productive?"
He walked over to me before continuing his little speech, "I called that night to apologise to you and to tell you that if you wanted to keep the child I was willing to do everything in my power to make sure that the baby didn't destroy your future. I had this discussion with my father and as you can imagine, he was not pleased." He chuckled like a memory of that evening was funny. "Also I didn't think you were a gold digger that was my father. I didn't even know that he was in the country until I walked into the office and saw him sitting there. Nico stopped a couple of centimetres before me and proceeded to wrap his arms around my waist and pull me closer to him.
My body tingled under his touch but I knew that if I didn't pull myself away from his smouldering gaze and electrifying touch we would end up in a compromising position. I placed my hands on his chest and pushed myself away from him. "I think I've had enough of this illicit relationship and all the drama it brings don't you think?" I felt the knots in my chest beginning to tighten and I felt sick just saying those words.
Nico didn't try and hold me closer to him when I pushed his hands off; he just looked at me with sad eyes and then dropped his gaze to the floor. "Right, uh, okay then. I respect your wishes and, uh, if that's what you want I'll stay away from you." He shuffled away from me and went towards his desk.
"Nico, we can still be friends and colleagues we just can't sleep together anymore."
He nodded, "I get that completely but Thalia, but I am still very attracted to you so it is going to be difficult for me. I want to make sure I respect your request and to do that I'm going to have to take some pretty drastic measures." He sighed, "I need to leave the office for a while: I don't think I should be here right now. If you'd like to give me some of your hair, I'll take it down to the Lab where my father will be." He opened a drawer in his desk and got out some clear sandwich bags. He then walked back towards me and stopped before he got too close to me.
I pulled out some strands of my hair and watched as he placed them into the transparent bag. He looked up at me and an awkward silence hung over us. I tried to hold his gaze but the intensity of it threw me. There wasn't just lust in his eyes, there was something else but I didn't know what. He dropped his gaze to the floor and began to walk out of the office.
He stopped abruptly mid stride, spun around and walked briskly to where I was still standing, and then he kissed me, he really kissed me. I could feel my head spinning and my knees buckling as he prolonged the kiss but all too soon it ended and we stood there gazing at each other for a few seconds before I turned my head away and stepped away from him again.
He took that as the sign he needed because this time, he walked out of his office and didn't look back.
NICO
I definitely had strong feelings for her and I realised that when her rejection made me feel like there was an animal or monster squeezing my heart and my lungs from inside my body. That kiss was my last kiss and I was happy I got a chance to do it. Now I wasn't sure what I was going to do; I had feelings for her, I possibly even loved her, but I couldn't fire her because I made a commitment to her.
I got into my car and drove off towards the hospital where my father said we should meet. Once I arrived at the parking lot, I saw Uncle Zeus's car a couple of spaces away and knew they were probably all freaking out. I made my way into the building and saw my dad and uncle talking to one of the doctors. "Father, I have her hair is everything okay?" I asked as I reached them.
"Yes of course everything is fine; we were just waiting for you." He answered.
"Ah, this is the second specimen I presume." The doctor asked as I gave him the bag he peered inside it and nodded, "Excellent, I will have it done as quickly as possible the results should be messaged to you in about three hours."
"Thank you Dr Solace." Zeus thanked him and shook his hand and my father followed suit. I nodded politely to him as I followed my father and uncle out of the establishment.
"So what now?" I asked.
"We are going back to the office to sort out the orders and other things for the Paris fashion week; you'll also be able to do the presentations. Poseidon, Zeus, Aphrodite and Apollo will be in tomorrow to give their opinions on some of the centre pieces for our show. Remember it's only in a week and it's the biggest one of them all so it has to be spectacular!" my father decided to add jazz hands to his little outburst.
Zeus chuckled and rolled his eyes at my father. "Do you want us to meet for Lunch or should I come to the office?"
"I honestly don't think you seeing Thalia today is a good idea, I think she should have time to absorb the information and talk to her brother before you see her. I think she'll prefer it that way."
My father and Zeus exchanged a look but Zeus nodded, "If you think that's best, I'll trust your judgement." He looked at me before turning his gaze to my dad, "I guess that means you're coming out to see me and Don then." Zeus chuckled. I rolled my eyes at their immaturity and made my way back to the office in my car.

The rest of the morning was spent with Thalia, My father and I poring over pictures of the outfits and matching the jewellery the designers requested with them. It took a lot, actually all of my will power not to sit there and just watch Thalia move around so easily and still look so sexy. My father left at some point to go to his own office and then lunch with his friends but now I kept remembering many of encounters Thalia and I had in this office, one of which happened on the chair I was sitting on right now…
The entire office had closed down but I still had some work left to do. I had called Thalia back because I was in desperate need of her help and I was getting very frustrated and angry at my computer. She walked into my office in shorts and a tank top which just showed off her endlessly long legs. I did a double take when she walked in and stared at her as she walked from the door to my chair and sat comfortably on my lap.
She focused her attention on my computer and continued typing furiously: when she leaned forward I could see her smooth back and I was captivated by this until she said, "All done!" and stood up to lean on my table.
I looked at what she had done and sat there bewildered by how incredibly amazing she was, that was one of the moments that my feelings for her deepened even though I hadn't realised it yet. I looked up at her and down at the computer once more before I grabbed her by the hips and made her straddle me before kissing her deeply and pouring all my previous frustration and anger into the kiss. She seemed to feel all the tension in the kiss because she picked up the pace and the fervour with which she kissed me.
We didn't bother with my clothes, we took off her shorts and underwear with haste and I freed my member but left my trousers to hang around my knees. She faced with her back towards me and then sunk her body onto mine. We had a fast and hard pace going and both of us knew that it wasn't going to last very long. I held her hips and made sure she came down on me hard and then thrust my hips up sharply to meet hers, she moaned and panted my name and as we were both about to reach our climaxes I increased the pace even more and she leaned forwards slightly to hold onto my desk which just made me sink deeper into her body. After a few more thrusts we both came simultaneously and I had to hold her up so she didn't face plant into the floor.
Once we'd caught out breaths she stood up uncertainly and then turned to face me with a wide and sensual smile, "When I see this chair I'm always going to remember that."
I am only brought out of my reverie by the sound of my phone ringing. I am also not surprised to find that my dick has come to life. I take a look at the caller id and answer it, "Hey dad, what's up."
"Nico the results came back and Thalia is indeed Zeus's daughter please inform her of the news and ask her how she would like to proceed from here. Zeus is currently in shock and is beyond excited to meet his children although he knows how strange it will be just getting a father at this age he still wants to be a part of their lives." Pluto explained,
"I understand, I'll tell her now, bye dad," I said as I dropped the phone.
"Did the results come out?" Thalia spoke to me for the first time since this morning. I nodded in response. "So what were the results?"
"Thalia, Zeus is definitely your father it was a perfect match."
She stood completely still for a few seconds and I was afraid she wasn't breathing so I moved over to where she was, "Thalia are you okay?"
She nodded, "I've always wanted a father and now after 23 years I finally have one but what if he doesn't want to be a part of my family? What if he hates the idea of having a 23 year old daughter and a 15 year old son?" she started to panic and I wrapped my hand around her shoulder.
"Thalia, you've met him before and he loves you. I was just on the phone with my father who is with him and he told my father he was very excited to meet your brother and be a part of your lives. You have nothing to worry about, you just have to tell your brother now and decide when you and him would like to meet your father." I rubbed circles in her back that I knew would calm her down.
"Look, I can take you home if you'd like and be there when you talk to Jason or I could bring Zeus over to yours when you're ready. It will all turn out fine Thalia, and I'll be there 100% to help you every step of the way unless you tell me not to." I knew it was a bit of a heavy confession and possible not what she needed right now but I had to let her know how much I cared about her and that she didn't have to do this all by herself.
She nodded silently, "Could you possibly take me home so that I could talk to Jason. He's upset with me right now because I cannot afford his ticket to Paris for his birthday. Maybe this will be a better birthday present than Paris.
"But, Thalia, you weren't flying commercially either so why would you need to buy him a ticket when you know there's loads of space on the jet?" I asked confused.
She gave me a look, "Nico I can't take advantage of the privileges of work like that. You're my boss and it's wrong.
That irritated me, "Thalia, we're age mates and we're friends. I don't care that this friendship started as a result of work but that's not all it is now. We're not just boss and assistant; we passed that a long time ago. We're friends Thalia, I am your friend and I would appreciate it if you stopped condemning our friendship to the same boundaries as an office relationship because I don't know about you but you mean a hell of a lot more to me than any of my other assistants have." I took a deep breath and looked away from her shocked expression. "Let's go to your house, my dad wants your decision soon so he can tell Zeus."
I grabbed her arm and walked her out of my office making sure to let go once we stepped out of the room and got onto the main executives floor so we didn't draw suspicion. The car ride to her house was silent as I expected and she called Jason to tell him that she was coming home early because she needed to talk to him about something important.
Once we got to the apartment and Thalia had let herself in we were greeted with the sight of a bunch of teenagers all watching a movie with popcorn and soda. Jason and Piper got up when Thalia and I walked in and followed us to Thalia's room.
Thalia gave me a look and I nudged Piper and tilted my head towards the door. We both left the room and gave the two siblings some space. "So are you and Thalia a thing yet because I have a bet going on." Piper asked as we stood in the kitchen waiting for them to come out.
"We were never going to be "a thing" Piper, don't let Silena poison your brain." I said as I rolled my eyes.
Piper shook her head, "You young adults forget that I am excellent at reading people and it's hard to lie to me. I know you like her or are probably in love with her. You came here drunk out of your mind looking for her and that could only mean you guys were or are involved on a more than official level."
I shrugged noncommittally; she sighs and shakes her head. "Nico there's no point in denying it. I know how you feel, I-"
"Piper, Piper, they found my father!" Jason interrupted her speech by running into the kitchen and hugging Piper fiercely. He looked ecstatic and then he turned to me, "Nico, I just want to tell you that you're the best, no seriously you are. If my sister refuses to marry you, I definitely will." I laughed as Piper hit his arm but he was so happy that he just pulled her into another embrace and kissed her on the lips.
I noticed Thalia standing at the door of the kitchen, "I guess he wants to meet his father then?"
She nodded and I noticed that there were tears in her eyes. I walked over to her and placed my arm around her and pulled her towards me so that she could cry on my shoulder. I pulled her out of the kitchen and into her room and just sat on the bed with her.
I realised that I didn't mind if she was staining my Kiton K-50 suit, or if I had to sit here for hours waiting for her to calm down. All I wanted was to be the one to make her smile again when she had let all her frustration out because I was in love with her.
Finally he admits it… wooohh… now things are really winding up… There won't be a sequel for now but if anyone has any other story idea's they'd like to see just leave a review!
Love x
