Hermes (Frozen Origin #2) (22 page)

“Maybe we should get something to eat first?” Vera asked.

“Whatever the lady desires, I will be sure she gets.” Asmo said as he led her to a table. He allowed her to feel safe for the moment.

“You know I didn’t think
Asmodius was a Greek name much less a god name.”

“It’s not,” he said with a cheeky grin. “They ran out of Greek names and used different ones. You wait here, I’ll be right back.”

He headed to the buffet and filled a plate for each of them which he brought back to her. He sat right next to her, up against her even. The time had come to seize the day. Vera would thank him later or not. He knew she wanted a wild night with a skilled lover, but her nervousness and bad body image got in the way. He liked her body and was ready to show her just how much. His tail slid over her thighs and stung the area between them.

“What the hell was that?”

“What are you talking about, Sweetheart?” He had a blank look on his beautiful face.

“I think something stung me.”

“Where at?” he asked innocently. He was only moving up the action since she had insisted she wanted him to bed her and now he would.

“On my thigh.”

“We’d best get you to your room so we can get that seen to.”

“I feel…funny.”

He helped her up and led her to her room. “Don’t worry, Darling, I’ll take care of you.”

She leaned into him
, moaning as need started to strike. “Let’s hurry.” She said now that fear was no longer a problem and heat undoubtedly fired her core.

She handed him the key as they made it to her room. Such pretty blue eyes looking up at him with trust. He would fulfill ever
y secret desire and leave her completely satisfied as only a demon could. He pulled her through the door he had opened, closing it behind them. He stripped from his costume as she watched intently.

“Oh, my God, you’re gorgeous.” She whispered reverently.

“You’re beautiful as hell.” He said as he started unwrapping his little gift.

Asmo
knew females liked the way he looked, the way he moved, and especially the way he loved them. And Asmo, well, he loved to love them. He kissed her as he continued to removed everything between them until she was wonderfully bare.

“What do you want Sugar? Tell me and it’s yours.”

“I’m dying to feel you inside me, Asmo. Don’t make me wait.” She was shaking with need and he was ready to take care of that need. He opened the drawer on the nightstand next to him and pulled out a pack of condoms that could be found in the same place in every room. He knew she wasn’t his mate, but he wouldn’t take the chance. He opened the pack and slipped it on. He slid up her body hooking her knees with his arms. She was open in front of him like a beautiful flower and he slowly glided into her. It was a tight fit, but she moaned and writhed against him impatiently so he slammed in to the hilt.

She screamed out in pure pleasure. “More,
Asmo, more damn it.”

He
did what any gentleman, or demon for that matter, would do. He gave her more, he pounded harder, faster, deeper and as she screamed and writhed under him, he felt her muscles clutch and grab at him until he jerked into her. Her orgasm went on and on until he felt the heat of his release rock him making him explode. Once the aftershocks calmed, he slid out of her pulling off the condom and tossing it in the trash.

“Vera?” He shook her lightly. It was clear she was out for the night.

Sometimes it was hard being a demon. He wanted love but the need was so great, he had to settle for sex. Did anyone realize demons were such romantics at heart? He went back to the ball, what else was a demon to do?

XOXO

Baal held the female he had chosen tight as she ran her fingers over his backbone. “This is just incredible!”

Yes, fucking incredible. His cock was about to burst.
It wasn’t her fault, she didn’t even know the backbone was real, much less that it was terribly sensitive. Just the gentle stroke of her fingers across his backbone filled his body with heat and stressed his cock making it jerk up and down with need.

He slid her gown off her shoulder pleasantly surprised as her bare breasts
bounced into view. No panties either, he’d found a daring one tonight. He kissed her moving his tongue along her lip until she opened her mouth to him, then he wrapped his extra long tongue around hers sucking on it.

She giggled and asked, “What did you just do? That felt so strange!”

“Just a simple kiss, my dear.” Baal said with his fingers crossed. He kissed his way down to her breasts, tasting deep red nipples that looked almost like berries. His tongue wrapped around one nipple as the lady moaned and writhed helplessly in his arms.

“Harder, suck it harder.” She demanded as her fingers brushed through his hair. “Oh, yes, just like that.”

He moved to the other nipple and received her praise once again before moving lower and lower still. He made it to her thighs and he slid his tongue down to the opening in between where he sank his tongue deep inside her. Her hips rolled and arched as her fingers gripped his hair and held his face in place. He fucked her with his tongue going deeper than most could imagine. She screamed as she came around him, her pussy clutching as he pulled his tongue free moving up and quickly searching the nightstand for a condom.

“Hurry Baal. I can’t wait, I ache for more.”

“And more you shall have.”

He hurried tearing open the condom, rolling it on, and pushing his iron hard cock between her slick hot pussy lips. He slid in easily enough
, her body prepare by the massive release he’d given her. She clutched at him wildly, ready for more. She moaned, swore, and screamed as he hammered into her and the first climax struck. She came three times before he could hold back no more and jerked and slammed against her lost in the bliss of his first release in months.

Such a pretty girl, but not his mate. She was drained and she moaned in her sleep as he covered her with a blanket. He would go hunting again, hoping some day to find the one that he could keep forever at his side.

XOXO

The ball was still going strong in the early morning hours. Demons were the biggest party animals, not that the gods were shabby in that area either. Hermes had been hanging around his office and burning with need for his mate. He found himself wishing that someone, anyone would come and take his place but that made him feel guilty since most of the guys hadn’t been with a female in months but he had his mate already.

He had watched gods and demons taking females back to the rooms and some spending hours before leaving and others seeming to stay for the night. Lu had found his second female for the night, what a horn dog, but no real surprise.
Asmo and Baal went back for seconds too. Gods tended to stay for the night, but he noticed a few of them taking two females when they went. Hercules was one of those double dippers. Hermes laughed at the thought that some day Hercules would have one mate forever. He hoped she had good endurance or Hercules might keep her worn out all the time.

He looked at the screens on the wall, there was the kitchen. This was interesting so he turned up the volume. Poseidon was talking with Lizzie and they appeared to be alone. He had her caged against the wall, he wasn’t exactly following protocol. She looked angry enough to bite nails in half.

“Tell me what you want.” She said with an angry look.

“I know it
is you that has been informing Origin about what goes on here. Do you wish to be locked up until you are old and gray, woman? Tell me what you know and it will go better for you.”

“I don’t know what you are talking about.” She insisted.

Poseidon’s face was almost touching her. Hermes could see the interest on his brother’s face. Would he? Yes, he would. His lips lowered to Lizzie’s gently brushing then coming back and brushing against them more firmly. It was so erotic he wished he was with his mate so he could act on the feelings watching the couple on the screen as they kissed gave him. Her mouth must have opened because Poseidon groaned, a deep helpless sound like he was drawn in despite himself. The kiss changed and Poseidon’s inner beast seemed to come to the surface as he claimed her, his mouth consuming her.

That was when Hermes and Poseidon both got the surprise of their lives. One moment he was devouring her with his kiss, the next he was on the floor blinking up at her in shock. Even with him being distracted, it took a good fighter to put a god, much less a tier one god, on his back.

“Who are you?” Poseidon whispered. This was no ordinary cook. Hermes would bet they had just found their spy. The sad thing was he suspected Poseidon had also just found his mate.

Hercules came into the room. “I’m feeling sorry for you. Go join your mate, she’s in the ballroom.”

“Thanks brother. You can’t imagine how much I appreciate this.” Hermes reached over turning the volume back down on the screen for the kitchen. He said nothing about what he had observed to Hercules nor would he to anyone else. He trusted Poseidon to handle the matter in the best way.

“Believe me, I can.”

Hermes rushed to his mate’s side. She sat at a table with some of the females she worked with. Nancy was there looking a little lost. He held out his hand and Cher took it. He helped her up and they moved to the dance floor. For a little while, he just held her close. He breathed in her sweet scent, ran his fingers in circles on her shoulder, and felt the warmth of holding her. He could hold her forever, just enjoying the happiness of being with the one he loved.

The problem was, their life was not
normal nor would it ever be but that didn’t mean their love couldn’t be extraordinary. “Cher?”

“Hermes?” She said, amusement in her voice.

“I have some important things to tell you, but I can’t tell you here.”

“Okay.” She said immediately serious.

He led her out to the nearest empty room where he swept for any listening devices. She raised her brow at that but said nothing. “We’re clear.” He said unnecessarily. “I don’t really know how to tell you this but I think you’ll be happy. They tested Keven’s blood and he’s not blood related to you.”

“How can that be?”

“Your father must have wanted a child so bad he never questioned that the boy was his. If he found out later, he must have already felt responsible for him.”

“That does sound like Dad. He was such a
good father, but it didn’t seem to help Keven.”

“It helped you and Fabian. I have more to tell you.”

“Okay.” She said, her attention completely on him.

“Were you aware that your parents had medical help conceiving Fabian?”

“Yes, they went to a doctor cause Mom had trouble carrying a baby after me. How did you know?”

“It seems they went to Origin for that help and they used a little god DNA to help things along.”

“What, exactly what are you saying?”

“They used your parents genetic material and strengthened it a little with some of the DNA they used to create us. I guess you would say he’s a demigod.”

“Will that cause him any problems? He’ll have the same DNA you do, but it won’t be strong like yours.”

“No, it won’t cause him trouble. He’s just a little stronger and has grown a little quicker as far as we can tell.” She sank into his arms, overwhelmed with everything he had told her. It was no surprise, it was a lot to absorb.

“Should I tell him?” She asked in a whisper.

“I think he needs to know. I don’t think it will bother him a bit. He’s taken to the gods and especially to the demons. He’ll just feel like more of a brother.”

“I’ll tell him tomorrow.”

Hermes pulled his mate into his arms and
kissed her with all the passion she could ever want. He was the second god to mate and he was sure there would be many more, demons too, before long. He tightened his hold on her, who wouldn’t want this feeling of completion? His heart was full and he had hope for the future. He took his woman to their room where he intended to make love to her all night long.

Chapter 10

Loose Ends

Lu looked at the pretty female standing next to him. She could be so much more than she was, he sensed it about her. Nancy looked up at him with her
stormy sea green eyes. She had been with Hercules the night before the ball and felt slighted because he had hooked up with other women the night of the ball without even telling her he was through with her.

“I know it isn’t fair, Nancy, but the old double standard is alive and well here. Gods and demons are man whores but they have no respect for woman that behave the way they do.”

“You still want me, don’t you Lu?” She asked with unshed tears in her eyes. What was it that drew him to this female? He was certain she wasn’t his mate. He saw something in her that others didn’t but he was afraid she was playing a role that would get her hurt.

“We’re friends, Nancy. That would kill the friendship forever.”

“Maybe it would be worth it.” She said and he saw an intelligent sneakiness in her eyes. She knew what she was doing even if no one else did.
