Free Arcadian Nights by Marie Medina Page B

knew Lachesis was angry, although
she rarely raised her voice or showed her feelings in any way. “I’m
not being disrespectful.”
    “ You’re being stubborn. We
shall make Hermes happy whether you wish to be a part of it or
not.” She disappeared.
    Eris looked down at her hands, which
she’d balled into tight fists. She knew she wouldn’t see any of the
Fates for a long time, but she was so angry she didn’t care.
Something else was settling in her heart though. It was another
emotion she wasn’t used to.
    Fear.
    What had Lachesis meant? What would
they do if she didn’t pursue a happily-ever-after ending with
Hermes? They couldn’t make him feel any different, that she knew,
but what other action might they take? She thought of Aphrodite.
Was Hermes still confiding in her? It seemed unlikely, as she
doubted Aphrodite would be supportive, but what if he became so
frustrated he turned to her for “comfort”? Eris felt her anger
rising again, but she held back. Lachesis might have intended for
her to think this way and run to Hermes’ arms.
    It sounded like a good idea, but she
wasn’t going to go to him and pledge her undying love. She had
every intention of bending him to her will and showing everyone
that she was in control of her own destiny.

    Hermes awakened the instant he felt
the hands on his neck. Warm, soft hands ran down his chest, and hot
lips teased his ear.
    “ Eris?”
    “ Yes?”
    He turned to look at her, but she
kissed him hard before he could say anything. She deepened the kiss
and made every thought fly out of his head. She caressed his chest
as she moved closer to him, her kiss becoming softer, more teasing.
She nipped at his lips with her teeth, and he tried to pull her
close to kiss her again. She moved her lips down to his chest, and
he didn’t see any reason to object.
    “ You’ve changed your mind
about wanting to see me.”
    “ I wanted you.”
    He watched her as she unbuttoned his
shirt and kissed and licked his chest. He wanted her to look up at
him and say that, but he didn’t push. His body had ached for her
since their one night together. His emotions had been in turmoil as
well. He’d told himself to forget about her several times since
then, but his heart and his body refused to forget how she had
touched and possessed both of them.
    “ I’m glad.”
    She looked up mischievously. “Have you
been thinking about me?”
    “ Yes.” For a moment, he
felt guarded. He knew he had broken through her defenses, if only a
little, the last time. But how had she felt afterwards? Was she
here to tease him now? Did she know he felt so much more for her
than she felt for him? Had he misjudged how cruel she could be? He
feared he might have put too much faith in the idea that she was
not what she appeared to be.
    “ Have you been remembering
what it was like?”
    Hermes swallowed. “I’ve thought about
it.”
    Her hands moved down to his cock. “So
have I.” She undid his pants quickly, pulling his cock out and
taking it into her mouth.
    He gasped in surprise. “I’ve thought
about how good you felt when you came.”
    She swirled her tongue around the
head, then began working the shaft with her hand. “You liked
fucking me?”
    I was making love to you.
I’m falling in love with you. He wanted to
say so much. Instead, he only replied, “Yes.” He couldn’t be sure
what she wanted, but right now she was the one pursuing him. If he
began to push his emotions on her, he might make her angry or scare
her away. He wanted her so much he was willing to take the chance a
fevered coupling was all she wanted.
    She moved up to kiss him. “I love the
way you made me come.” She straddled him, taking his cock partially
into her hot, wet pussy. “I love your cock.”
    He held her by the hips and thrust up,
but she wouldn’t let him go more than halfway into her. He wanted
to fill her, make her come again, but she only smiled down at him
as she held him at a distance. Then
