				She'd decided to take the night off and go out for a while to the bar, she'd been doing great for the most part, until something went fishy on her. It almost felt like she was being watched by some kind of murder or something, but it didn't have the same kind of psychotic feel to it. What Kathryn (http://i192.photobucket.com/albums/z268/ArianaKimimatsu/2521-red.jpg) did know was that things were about to go from bad to worse. Nothing good could come from the feeling of something or someone watching her like that. The next thing she knew, there were blond vampire looking things, some person dressed in black who was killing them. And she was completely terrified, she really wanted to go home right now and forget that she'd ever been at the bar. If she could escape, she'd be great.<br><br>Which had all been a nice plan until something hit the back of her head and she hit the floor a second later. Groaning a little, she managed to open her eyes, realizing she wasn't in the bar anymore, and she hadn't been killed. Starting to turn over a little, her left arm wouldn't work right and she turned her head to see what the issue was. The first thing she noticed was the golden cuff around her wrist, second thing was the mark of the forge of Hephaestus. She recognized that symbol from her work at the local museum, she'd seen it enough to know what it meant. What the heck was it doing on a pair of golden handcuffs that were not being used to hold her somewhat hostage? Did someone honestly think that Hephaestus was real, if they did, they needed more mental help than most in the city.<br><br>Deep, blue eyes landed on the man attached to the other end of the cuffs and she froze where she was laying. She had no idea who he was, not right off anyway, he didn't look like anyone she knew, which was just great. Handcuffed to a man she didn't even know, in a place she didn't really recognize, it was beyond perfect. Adjusting herself, she got to her knees and reached out, very cautiously so she could turn him over to see just who he was. Part of her rational mind stopped her there, what if he was some kind of killer or something, waiting for her to make the wrong move? Well, not that it was going to matter if he was, she couldn't run because she was cuffed to him. Sighing a little, she shook her head and looked back down at him.<br><br>Giving him a slight push, she managed to get him to turn over onto his back, instantly regretting that. He was beyond handsome, the picture perfect image of male perfection, no man should have been able to look that good. Something was familiar about him though, a little too familiar for her own comfort, but she couldn't place just what it was. Studying his face for a moment, it came to her and she sat down before she fell down, she had a feeling she knew who this man was. He looked so much like Xanos from the Greek myth, he was only mentioned once, and there was only one surviving statue of him. If memory served her well, Eros had made a mistake by betting his immortality and divinity on getting a woman to fall in love with him. He lost and the human he bet against gained his godly power, said to have disappeared into the pages of history. <br><br>That couldn't really be true, the Greek gods weren't even real to begin with so he couldn't be some fictional god she was handcuffed to. In the back of her mind, she idly wondered if she really should have called Aphrodite a disgrace to the female gender. She had meant it though, the woman of myth always thought she was better, and Kat had voiced her opinion on the matter. Smoothing out her dress a little, she sighed and reached out to the man, putting her hands on his shoulders. Hello muscles, the man felt like he was a statue, and that was something she was carefully not thinking about anymore. Giving him a firm shake, she spoke to him, trying to wake him, "Hey, um strange guy that I'm handcuffed to, wake up already, will ya?" Red hair fell around her shoulders as she leaned over him, hesitating a little and then shaking him again.<br><br>Sitting back down beside him, she drew her legs up a little, tucking her dress into the bend of her knees so no one could see up it. He was still breathing, that much she could tell, because it really didn't take a genius to see if someone was breathing or not. Reaching out, she slid her fingertips through his hair, blue eyes studying him intently, she would swear he was modeled after that statue at the museum. He couldn't be though, the stature had been authenticated and this man looked young, but the gods didn't exist, she would not believe they did. The humorous side of her was laughing as she thought of how much better of a god he was than Aphrodite, at least this man was something to look at. Then she caught herself, having to go over the fact that the gods weren't real, again.

				The first thing Xanos became aware of as he swam to consciousness was the splitting headache he had. That was the last time he'd drink anything offered by Dionysus. He should have known better, but that fool Ares had made a bet with him, and Xanos was nothing if not a betting man. Opening his eyes, he found himself on his back staring at some nondescript ceiling. A warehouse, probably, with&nbsp; an attractive redhead leaning over him. Moving his right hand to rub his temple, he startled when he watched her left arm move with him.<br><br>And then he saw the cuffs. Well, if that was someone's idea of a joke... Xanos shook his head. Simple enough. He concentrated and waited for the telltale click of the lock. When it didn't come, he sat up and swore softly under his breath, turning to get a better look at the cuffs. Yep, there it was. The symbol of Haephestus. Great. Speaking for the first time, more to himself, he muttered, "Great. So, what did I -not- do this time?" Only Zeus would think it proper to wed that evil vindictive bitch to the only god able to actually restrain one of their own. Well, time to face the music. He turned to face the woman he was cuffed to, looking her over brazenly. He spoke again, this time to her, and his voice flowed like honey from his lips, smooth and melodic and sensual. "And you are?"<br><br>Using his left hand this time, Xanos ran a hand through his brown hair and sighed. "I suppose you're one of the ones who offended her too, huh?" He gestured to the cuffs with a wry smirk. He stood slowly, pulling her to her feet as well to keep the cuffs from becoming uncomfortable and he groaned. Now he remembered what he'd done. Just because he'd suggested to Aphrodite that a good fuck might help her feel better... Xanos groaned again. Knowing his luck, this woman was one of Artemis's little toys. "You're not one of the Huntress's toys, are you?" No reason to beat around the bush. He looked her over again, absently admiring the shape of the woman's curves. She didn't feel like one of those Dark Hunters, but he'd been surprised before.<br><br>"Well, come on. We're going to need to get these cuffs open, and there's only a few ways to get that done." He ran a hand through his hair again before he shook his head. "Gonna be one of those days, I can already feel it."

				Kat was beginning to get used to the idea of sitting there beside the passed out man, working out some equations in her head to pass the time. Until she realized she was being looked at and she blinked a few times, unsure of herself now that he was really awake. His right arm moved and her left one went with it, drawing his attention to their bonds for the first time. A soft sound came from her as Xanos sat up quickly, barely giving her time to move to avoid being a little too close to him for her own comfort. Glancing over his body, she thought to herself <em> Not that I'd mind getting up close and personal with that, he's delicious looking.</em> Yeah, that was one thought she was going to be keeping to herself, she had no business ending up with strange men she'd woken up handcuffed to.<br><br>When he spoke, she swore she melted right there on the spot at the way it touched her, wrapped around her and did things to her she didn't want to admit to. She had the overwhelming urge to throw herself at him, beg him to take her to bed and keep her there as long as he wanted. Oh yeah, no more drinking, she was not that kind of woman even in her wildest dreams, this man just had an effect on her. Jerking her gaze away from him, she appeared to study the walls, while in her head she was thinking of every single unattractive thought she could come up with to get her body to cool down. Jumping the man was out of the question, she knew it, her body knew it, and apparently it didn't much care, but she did.<br><br>"Kathryn Reynolds." She said simply, a little quietly, as she looked back at him, watching as he slid a hand through his silky, brown hair. Then he spoke again and her mind cleared a little bit, "Offended her? Who are we talking about, because I'm not really friends with anyone who would do this kind of crazy thing." She paused and paled a little, there was one, but she really didn't think the woman would do something like this to her. Even so, there was a chance, "Well, there is Tabitha, but I don't think she's crazy enough to pull this one off. It does remind me of how her brother in law met her sister though, so it makes me wonder if she did it." Looking back at him, she felt her cheeks warm a little and she&nbsp; glanced away from him again, leave it to her to start running her mouth in the presence of the extremely delicious man.<br><br>Huntress? Was he seriously speaking of the goddess Artemis like she was actually a real person here? Tilting her head, she let him pull her to her feet, drawing in a breath at his height before she spoke up, "If you're talking about the Greek goddess Aretmis, I hate to tell you this, but she's not real. You do realize that the gods and goddesses of Mt. Olympus are a myth?" This could be bad, even if he was yummy, if he thought the gods and goddesses were real, she could very well be dealing with a mental patient. A very hot looking mental patient who she wouldn't mind being put in a padded room with for a few weeks. Shaking that thought from her head, she looked back up at him, "Umm, seriously, if you find me a crowbar, I can have these off in ten minutes, it's not that big of a deal."<br><br>Thinking for a moment, she lightly bit her lower lip, something she usually did when she was in thought anyway. Looking back up at him, she held out her right hand a little awkwardly, "If we're going to be stuck together for a while, I might as well properly introduce myself. You know my name, but I don't know yours." Trying to make light of the situation, she laughed a little ventured out on a limb with her next comment, "I hope you're not offended for me saying so, but you look an awful lot like Xanos from the Greek myth of how Eros lost his divinity and place on Olympus." He really did look like that statue, and she had to get that thought off her chest, it was driving her crazy. Clearing her throat, she blushed a little and looked around, "So...how do we get out of here exactly?"

				Xanos grumbled to himself. "I thought I had all those statues trashed. I even sicced Ares on the last one I found." He shook his head and then rubbed his brow with his free hand. "Yeah. Definitely going to be one of those days today." He cast a glance around the warehouse. "So, you know the myth of Xanos, do you? Not many do. In a way...I'm rather impressed." Still, that might explain why he'd been cuffed to her.<br><br>"Artemis, not real?" He threw his head back and laughed, a wild, pure, unrestrained sound that still seemed to maintain the sensuality of his voice. "I know of a few that might wish it were true." A fond smile touched his lips as he remembered the occasional visit from the Simi. Asheron was one of the only ones that Xanos didn't mind interacting with, mostly because they had similar views on the pantheon. But where Ash hated Artemis, he hated Aphrodite.<br><br>"Now, if I were a betting man..." He grinned at her and glanced only briefly down at the cuffs holding them together. "And believe me, I am a betting man...I'd bet that the quickest way out of this broken down old warehouse would be out that way." He pointed to the southern wall of the warehouse. "Also, you're not going to be able to do much with a crowbar other than bash your wrist to pieces."<br><br>Without another word, he began to walk, forcing her to follow after him to keep from getting her arm jerked awkwardly. Once they reached the southern wall, it turned out he was, in fact, correct. There was a large door out of the warehouse and onto the street. "I smell trouble. More importantly, I smell a hunter."<br><br>He held up his hand to make her stop and leaned nonchalantly against the outer wall of the warehouse, watching as that same figure in black that she'd seen before appeared and crossed the street toward them. "Ah, so one of her toys is about. Interesting." Absently he wondered if this hunter would recognize him or not. Fortunately, the hunter walked right past them and into the warehouse and Xanos only chuckled. "Must be some Fabios about."<br><br>"Come on. Looks like you're taking me home for the night." Xanos grinned at her and raised an eyebrow suggestively. "Besides, we could both use a shower." He pushed away from the wall and smirked at her, simply watching her and letting her lead the way. Besides, this way he got a chance to admire that ass.

				Blue eyes widened a little and she pointed a slender finger at him when he mentioned statues being trashed, "You or anyone else lays a finger on that statue and I'll kill you myself, buddy. That thing is a priceless work of art, one that I rather enjoy studying." Even if the statue look alike was delicious, she'd hurt him if he tried to lay a finger on the work of art. There had been many nights she'd spent just staring at the statue, studying it, needing to know more than the myth had revealed about the man. When he spoke again, she looked up at him, carefully this time, "Most people don't know it because the myth itself was nearly erased from the very pages of history." <br><br>And then he laughed, the sound sending a rush of pleasure through her that she really didn't want to have to deal with. It was like everything he did was designed to make women fall for him, to want him more than anything else. Fighting against that, she huffed a little, "Are you sure you're not some kind of escaped mental patient? Artemis, along with the others, is just a fairy tale from the past, they don't exist." Somehow, just looking at him, a part of her knew that wasn't true because he was Xanos in the flesh. But, she had more important things to deal with right now, like getting out of the creeped out warehouse. She'd remember to sock Kyrian Hunter a good one when she saw him again, and then she'd have a talk with Tabby.<br><br>Raising an eyebrow at his comment about betting, she couldn't stop herself from speaking, "If you're who I think you are, you're a betting man alright, and one who doesn't lose." Shifting a little, she cast a glance to the southern wall and nodded, she'd noticed it earlier, but hadn't really looked forward to trying to drag the unconscious man over there. Dropping the comment about the cuffs, she let him lead her, mostly because she didn't feel like being dragged around. When he stopped, she had to put some effort into stopping before she ran into him, and she really didn't want to touch him, that was bad. Now he was sounding like Kyrian and it made her eye him carefully, "You smell a hunter? What are you, one of Kyrian Hunter's little friends who play after dark? God, I knew Tabby and Kyrian's mental games would catch me one day...when I get my hands on him, he's dead."<br><br>A figure in black caught her attention and her mouth fell open, it was that same person from inside the bar earlier! Blinking a little, she watched the person walk on by them without a single glance, turning to look back at him when he commented again, "Fabios? What the heck are you talking about now? Nevermind, I don't want to know, I just want to go home now, kay?" She took one step away before his voice filled her ears and she paused, feeling her cheeks warm up from that comment, "No way am I taking a shower with you anywhere around. We're getting out of these cuffs and then you're going...wherever you were before we ended up in this mess." She said that carefully, while also carefully not looking at him. <br><br>When he pushed away from the wall, she took a moment to get a general idea of where she was before starting off down the sidewalk. There was no resistance, and she heard his footsteps behind her, so she knew he was following, obviously. And she could feel his eyes on her, he was staring, or at least looking appreciatively at what he was seeing. While she walked, she was thinking over her situation, and each outcome led to things she really didn't want to get involved in. She was thinking too much, as usual, and having him so close to her didn't help matters either. Finally sighing a little, she fell into step beside him so he wasn't staring at her anymore, "So, you never told me your name. Unless you're going to imply that you really are Xanos, which I don't believe at all."<br><br>Glancing up at him, she almost took those words back, curse him and his perfection that looked identical to that statue! "Alright, let's pretend I partially believed you were a god. How would you prove that to me? Aren't the gods supposed to have some kind of, you know, special godly powers that make them special?" She asked as she led him down another sidewalk, pausing at the steps that led up to her house. Part of her wasn't sure about inviting him in, she felt safer out in the open, where there were no beds or showers. Yes, outside was better, less chance of seduction that way, she really didn't need to get tangled up with this one. Kind of reminded her of that one man Amanda Hunter introduced her to, Acheron. She'd nearly cowered in fear while her body tingled with excitement at the same time, this was a similar situation. Except this one didn't scare her the way Acheron had, at least not in the same way.

				"So, you're not one of her pets, but you sure do know a lot." Xaros nodded once and then sighed. "Let's just get somewhere indoors where I don't have to worry about pissing the Huntress off for dusting one of her toys and I don't have to worry about the little inkstains that I'm sure would love to have you for dinner."<br><br>As they walked, he continued. "Yes. I know that Xaros was nearly erased from the very pages of history. And Eros wasn't. Makes things simpler that way." He shrugged his free arm and then moved to walk beside her. It was less of a tug on the cuffed wrist that way. "So, you clearly know your mythology. Means you recognized the symbol on our cuffs." It wasn't a question. "They don't come off until the vindictive bitch that calls herself Goddess of Love decides she's tormented me enough. And since I can't take you to Olympus to talk to her, and she won't willingly come down here..." He sighed. "Wait. You know Kyrian Hunter? Which means you know his best friend Julian."<br><br>Xaros stared up at the sky and groaned. "Today just keeps getting better and better. Look, you know the myth of Xaros. And I'm impressed at that. So, you know he won a bet against Eros. What the myth doesn't tell you is that his lover...she died. More specifically, she killed herself. She chose Xaros because she wanted a mortal. When he became a god..." Xaros shook his head. "Zeus considered offering him the domain of Luck." This time, Xaros smirked. "I don't think the old man was quite used to being told to shove something up his ass." He shrugged. Did his voice have to be so appealing even when he was discussing something so dry? And where had he gotten all this information that most certainly was not in the myth?<br><br>"You're a smart woman, Kathryn, but you're not ready to hear me say it." When they reached her home, he led the way, the door simply opening for him even though it was locked. "Now, I need a shower. You can join me, or you can stand and watch. I'm not shy." He tugged on the cuffs and led her into her own bathroom, seeming to know exactly where everything was. Without preamble or comment, his clothes seemed to simply fall to the ground, leaving him naked in front of her.

				Raising an eyebrow at him, she shook her head a little, "I don't know where you come from, but I'm no one's pet. I'm my own boss and I don't do that kinky stuff...dusting and inkstains? You really do sound like the dynamic duo of weirdness, where do you people come up with this stuff anyway?" Sighing a little, she let him talk for the moment, listening to the sound of his voice, liking the way it almost reached out to caress her each time he spoke. It was, even in the odd situation, nice to feel that, she secretly enjoyed that feeling, hence the reason she was letting him continue talking as much as possible. <br><br>"Four years and a degree, I know my stuff. The symbol is the mark of the forge of Hephaestus, if you believe that stuff." Pausing for a moment, she glanced down at the golden cuff around her wrist, "I'm going to assume you mean Aphrodite, goddess of stupidity and immaturity." Kat couldn't stand Aphrodite, and she hadn't taken a liking to Artemis either, not after hearing some of the lesser known tales about the goddess. Shaking her head a little, she looked back up at him, "You really believe in this stuff too, well I guess it could be worse, I could be cuffed to Kyrian...huh? Yeah I know him, too well for my own health unfortunately for me. Julian was my teacher, that's kind of how I met the master of lame pick up lines and cheesy vampire stories." <br><br>She was quiet when he looked up at the sky and groaned, that one little sound shaking her all the way down to her toes it sounded so good. He was seriously almost believeable when he talked about things in the realm of mythology. Scoffing a little at his mention of Zeus, Kat shrugged, "I'd tell the high and mighty jerk off to shove it too. Half the trouble that supposedly happened with the gods wouldn't have happened if people had just kept it in their pants. It's really not that hard." What she didn't say was how hard it was for her to keep her hands off of him, she'd never been so tempted before, not like this. She'd seen her fair share of hot men before, heck, she knew Julian and Kyrian, who both looked like statues themselves. <br><br>Then of course, there was Acheron, and dear gods the man made her nearly hit her knees the last time she'd seen him. Blinking a little when he said she wasn't ready, she sighed a little, "It can't be worse than meeting that Acheron guy that Amanda and Kyrian know, he's a little...ok he's a lot creepy." She didn't have time to think as he nearly dragged her into her own house, her mouth falling open when he just walked through the door like it hadn't been locked. There was never a time she left that door unlocked, and all she could do was stare at him. Her cheeks turned red when he mentioned the shower, even more so when he tugged her with him into the bathroom, "H-hey! You can't expect me to be in the same room when you..."<br><br>The words died in her mouth when his clothes fell to the floor at his feet, having to make herseld breathe before she passed out. She didn't have the choice of walking out, she was stuck to him whether she wanted to be or not. Blue eyes drank in the sight of him, just aching to get her hands on him now, there was no way she could keep from it. Not while he was naked like this, no, she wouldn't do it, she did not know this man at all. Turning her head away from him, she slipped her shoes off of her feet, "Fine, I'll shower too, but you keep your hands to yourself, buddy. You got that?" In her head, she was praying over and over again that he wouldn't touch her, if he did, she was a goner.<br><br>Reaching up, she tugged hard on her dress, the tiny straps holding it up snapping free so she could push it down over her hips. Thankfully, her bra that night had been strapless, and she reached behind her carefully, because his hand was still at the other end of that one cuff, and unhooked it. She wasn't a modest woman, she'd been naked in front of people before, didn't really mind being that way, but she was cautious around him. Pushing her panties off, she stepped away from her clothes and turned the shower on, not daring to look at him again. When it warmed enough for her, she stepped inside, giving the cuffs a light tug to get him inside, as much as she wanted him outside, preferrably outside the house while she was naked. And then there was the other part of her that wanted him to be very close, an idea she was starting to like.

				"You really do know a lot of interesting people. I wonder if Julian could help with these cuffs." He shrugged again, musing to himself more than anything as he watched Kat undress. He had to admit that she was really quite attractive and he felt the familiar stirrings in his loins, his thick length slowly beginning to stiffen as she bent over slightly to get the shower started. He bit back a groan and shook his head. He always had been an ass man, and this woman had the most amazing ass he'd even seen.<br><br>But, those were thoughts for another time. As she gave the light tug to pull him into the shower, he went willingly, resting one of his large, calloused hands on her hip until he got his balance and then he stepped back, dropping his hand away from her as he rolled his eyes. He was giving her as much space as he could, what with the cuffs and wanting to be under the hot water himself. Of course, as close as he was, he was quite tempted to just bend her over and give her a fuck she'd never forget, but that probably wasn't the best idea at the moment.<br><br>Still, she'd said not to touch her. She never said he couldn't have his fun and so he leaned in to murmur in her ear, "Sure you don't want me to wash your back for you, my dear?" His breath could be felt on her ear and his words flowed like the sweetest honey as he spoke into her ear. "Or maybe you've got something else that needs attention tonight, hmm?" He was close enough that she could almost feel the thick length between his legs pressed against the curve of her rear, but then he smirked and stepped back as far as he could.<br><br>"So, you're not a fan of Zeus or Aphrodite, hmm? AND you've met Acheron?" He nodded to himself and smiled. "We'll get along just fine. How is the old goat? Ash, I mean." Suddenly, he seemed to be all business again, waiting for her to finish washing herself so he could do the same. If only it weren't for that blasted sensuality and seduction that always seemed to be apparent in his voice, no matter what the topic. He stepped closer this time as he finished speaking, resting his groin firmly against her ass as he reached around and grabbed the soap from her, brushing his fingers over her soft skin as he took the thing from her and lathered up his hands to begin washing himself as best he could.

				Interesting people, yeah she knew too many of those, and she had always suspected they were doing something illegal or just very strange. Honestly, she didn't want to know what the deal was with Kyrian and his friends, the less she knew about them and their business, the better off she was, in her mind. Tipping her head back a little, she let the hot water slide over her, sighing a little as it helped to soothe the tension she felt. It didn't help that her mind kept reminding her that there was a very naked, very attractive man standing just behind her in that small shower. Keeping her eyes closed, she spoke, "How would Julian know how to get these cuffs off, if I believe you and they're really something made by the god Hephaestus?"<br><br>The touch of his hand on her hip sent fire straight through her body, making her burn with the need, the ache to have him. It was hard to reign herself in after that one touch, but she did her best as she went about her shower. Unaware of the thoughts in his head, she slid the soap over her shoulders and had just started on her breasts when his voice drifted into her ear. Kat shivered and she felt her body react to the feel of his hot breath against her ear. She bit her lip to keep quiet, cursing her body for reacting so quickly and thoroughly to his nearness, his voice. Already, her nipples were tight and hard, and between her thighs, she could feel that ache that demanded she let this man fill her and please her. <br><br>Swallowing a little, she managed to find her voice, "In case you forgot...we just met, I don't know you and I don't want any part of you." It was a lie, even her voice betrayed that much, not that it mattered, if he took one look at her face to face, he'd see she was lying. When he stepped back from her, she felt the loss of his nearness, biting her lip hard to keep from begging him to come closer again. Forcing her body into motion, she continued her shower, "Yeah, I've met Ash..." Clearing her throat a little, she forced herself to think about the tall, mysterious man, instead of the one behind her. Not like that helped alot, she'd been attracted to Ash too, "He seemed to be fine the last time I saw him, I don't understand much about him though. Don't really want to know, honestly."<br><br>All rational thought stopped when she felt him step up to her, pressing his erection into her, giving her no choice but to feel him. She trembled hard, a soft sound of want coming from her throat, the soap slipping from her fingers when he reached to take it. The only thing on her mind was him, his body, wanting to feel him nestled as far inside her as she could take him. Against her own better judgment, she pressed back against him, delighting in the feel of him pressing further against her. If she raised up just a little, a few more inches, Kat knew when she came down again, he'd slide right into her eager body. And it was that thought that shook her partially to her senses, enough that she took a quick step away from him. She didn't dare turn to look at him, she stayed as far from him as she could get without preventing him the use of his hand that was cuffed to hers.<br><br>This was torture, she wanted, needed to have him, and she was refusing herself that pleasure because she didn't know him. It would be impossible for her to rest at all, or if she did, she would no doubt dream of every pleasurable thing he could possibly do to her. And pleasing herself was out of the question, she couldn't get the privacy she wanted with him chained to her. Kat had already sworn she wasn't going to give in and let him have a show while she got off thinking about him. Still, it was tempting, and incredibly hard to not give in to him, or to just let her hand slide down a little further and ease that ache just a little. Glancing at him for a brief moment, she waited until he was done before turning the shower off and stepping out.<br><br>Curse it all, she was still trembling with desire for the man, and she took a light breath to try and calm herself. Picking up a towel, she ignored him as best she could for the moment while she started to towel her hair dry. It was going to be a long night, one she really didn't want to have to be conscious through. He was too tempting, and being chained together meant she'd have to share her bed with him, or have him sleep on the floor. No, she really didn't feel like having her arm hanging off the bed all night, she couldn't turn over or get comfortable if he did. Just great, barely able to keep herself from begging, from just taking what she wanted, and she got to stay in the same bed with him.

				Xaros smirked slowly. He knew full well what his presence was doing to the mortal woman. He was the god of lust, after all. Even still, he found himself willing to take this slowly and wait. It wasn't as though the cuffs were going to just spontaneously fall off, and that meant they'd be stuck together for a good long time. Xaros only smirked again. He hadn't bothered with a towel, having dried himself instantly when he stepped out of the shower, nor had he redressed yet.<br><br>Glancing at the piles of clothes on the bathroom floor, he snapped his fingers and nodded as both sets folded themselves nicely into piles and then simply disappeared. "They're just in the bedroom. With only two hands between us, maybe having a god who can snap his fingers to get things done will come in handy, no?" There. He'd said it. He waited patiently for her to finish drying herself off, not missing the fact that her nipples were hard or that there was a slight dampness between her legs.<br><br>"It's late. And we're going to be on the go a lot tomorrow. Let's get some sleep." He left open the very real possibility that they wouldn't be getting much sleep tonight. Better to let her fill that option in herself. He slipped his arm around hers and took her hand with a smirk. "We'd better get ready for bed. Or whatever you have in mind." He'd forgotten how much fun it was to seduce a mortal. In a way, he could see why the old thunder throwing asshole got off on it.<br><br>Unbidden, however, thoughts of his lover came to mind and he closed his eyes, letting her lead the way for a moment. Now he remembered why he didn't seduce mortals very often. It was just a painful reminder of what he'd lost. What he'd gained had in no way been worth the cost. As he followed her, he remained somber and quiet for quite some time, but finally broke away from those thoughts to take a look around her bedroom. "Not bad. Too bad there's no table or desk to bend you over, though."

				Finished with her hair, Kat turned a little to dry her body off, pausing when she noticed that he was already dry. And how, he'd just gotten out of the shower the same time she had, there was no way the man could have dried off that quickly. Realizing that look could be considered staring, she tore her gaze away and went on with drying herself until she was satisfied that it was the best she could do under the circumstances. The snap of his fingers got her attention and she froze on the spot, staring at the place on the floor where her clothes had been. There was no way they had just disappeared like that, it wasn't possible, but she'd seen it with her own eyes, hadn't she?<br><br>His voice broke through her thoughts and she turned to him, her mouth falling open a little at the words he said. Could he really be telling the truth about his being a god? Wait a minute, if he really had been the man who gained Eros's godly abilities, it explained a lot of things. Like her attraction to him that defied all logic, the way his very presence kept her aroused, ready for him. She took a breath and pointed at him, "You're really...a..you're a god? The Xaros of the legend?" It made her head spin with a million other questions, but she kept her mouth shut, her mind really couldn't handle more information than she had already. And at the same time, it made her wonder what the heck Acheron was, or Julian for that matter, the man was built like a god...no, she didn't want to think about it.<br><br>She felt his arm slip around hers, his hand taking hers, making her drag in a breath because of the desire that shot through her. Quickly, she pulled her arm and hand away from him, eyeing him carefully as she went with him into the bedroom. "Keep your hands to yourself, god boy. You of all people should know what your power does to women who stand in your presence." No sooner than the comment let her mouth, he mentioned a desk or a table, and the unbidden image of him thrusting into her filled her mind. Turning to face him, she steeled herself as much as possible, "I don't suppose a round of sex would satisfy you enough for you to stop teasing me without mercy, would it?"<br><br>Kat really hadn't meant it to come out that way, but the only thing on her mind was how to get him inside her body. So much for trying to resist, maybe this was why all the stories about the gods and goddesses ended up with sex. If they were all as tempting and seductive as the man in front of her, she could understand why they had so many willing partners. Reality struck then, the stories she'd read, she knew a very important detail, and it was enough to send her back a couple of steps. Zeus had been the prominent figure in the way of having children with mortals or someone other than his wife. The other gods and goddesses had also produced children from nearly all their interactions with humans.<br><br>Taking a breath, she eyed him carefully, "I think it's best if you just keep all that lust and stuff to yourself, I have no intention of becoming the next plaything for one of the gods." Sitting down on the side of her bed, she ran a hand through her hair, it was a bit pointless to put clothes on, it was a hassle at this point. Lightly tugging on the cuff as in indication for him to get on the other side of the bed, she pushed the blanket and sheet down on her side, "No offense meant, I just don't like the idea of being the next mortal woman carrying the child of a god. I've seen how all those stories end, and I very much value my life, such as it is." <br><br>She was tired, irritated and still very much aroused, sleep was needed for her to be able to appear halfway normal the next day. It also meant, much to her dismay, she would be a very sound sleeper that night, and she hated when that happened. The last time, she'd woken up to the face of one of Kyrian's friends and had nearly had a heart attack. She'd never heard them come into the house, even though they claimed to have knocked on the door for twenty minutes before finally kicking it in. Yeah, she was in trouble, but she wasn't about to let that sound sleeping information slip, he didn't need to know that.

				Xaros sighed softly. "Yes. That's who I am." He completely ignored her other comments and just gestured to the bed. "Let's just get some sleep." It was a lie, as a god he didn't need sleep, but she did. Which meant this was going to be a long night. He'd have to figure out where to start with these cuffs. Acheron was the obvious choice. But he still needed to see Julian, to put the past behind them.<br><br>He climbed into bed and slid over, making room for Kathryn without a word, watching her settle into bed. With an absent thought, he at least put some boxers on. It might help her feel better about sharing the bed with him. Not that it mattered. She seemed so worried that he'd do something to her while she slept. That wasn't his style. No, he'd rather have her offer herself freely.<br><br>And so, with a sigh, he forcibly clamped down on his aura and the presence he carried himself with. It would at least help her to sleep better. Besides, he needed her to be in a fairly good mood. There was no telling how long they'd be stuck together and he'd probably done enough damage already. No need to step on her toes more than necessary.

				So he was a god, she believed it now, partially at least, her mind still had a hard time wrapping itself around that fact. When he was comfortable, thankfully in a pair of boxers now, she slid under the blankets, taking a moment to pull them up around her before settling down and resting her head on her pillow. She didn't usually sleep on her back, but it made it easier if she did because of the cuff around her slender wrist. Beside her, she could feel the warmth of his body, closing her eyes as she forced herself to relax. He didn't seem like the type to take advantage of her, not the way she'd briefly thought of earlier. That calmed her a little more as she finally let sleep pull her in and embrace her in it's gentle clutches.<br><br>Along the course of the night, she curled against him, drinking in his warmth, and only became aware of her position when she started to wake hours later. She had managed, or maybe he'd helped, she didn't know, to get to where she could curl herself against his side comfortably. The desire she expected to feel because she was touching him didn't come to her, and she didn't feel that slight bit of fear because of how strongly he usually effected her. Kat shifted a little, her legs sliding against his in a way that did send a shiver of pleasure through her. In her mind, she admitted to herself that she liked touching him when she could think while she was doing it. Opening her eyes a little, she gazed at the expanse of his chest that she was laying against now.<br><br>Bracing her hand against his chest, she pushed herself up a little so she could look down at him, just gazing at him for the moment. "You don't have the same feel as you did last night, what did you do?" Her voice was soft, still sleep filled and full of curiosity as to why she wasn't having to force herself away from him this time. Propping herself up on his chest, she slid one of her legs between his, laying nearly halfway on top of him to get her arm out of the odd angle it had been in for what felt like a while now. The attraction to him was still there, but it wasn't completely overwhelming her now, she felt comfortable enough to touch him without the fear of doing something she might end up regretting.

				Xaros smiled up at Kat and then shrugged as best he could. "I suppressed what I could. Don't get used to it, I can't do it often, or all the time...but at the very least I could make sure it didn't interfere with your sleep." Xaros nodded, resting his free hand on her hip again as he watched her. He wasn't sure if she would be going back to sleep or not, so he kept a tight hold on his aura for now. It made him miss his days as a mortal, truth be told. The days when he didn't have to worry about a woman hanging onto his every word just because of what he was.<br><br>"You said Julian was your teacher, correct?" Xaros chuckled. "Yeah, that'd explain why you knew my story." He sighed softly and then shook his head. "It's his story to tell, but let's just say he's got a couple very good reasons to dislike me. But, that's where I want to start trying to get these cuffs off." He watched her still and then smiled despite himself. He'd not simply laid comfortably with a woman like this since before that fateful bet. He closed his eyes and forced those memories away. There was no time to be thinking about that, especially if he wanted to remain in control.<br><br>"Still, if there's anyone she'll listen to, it's Julian." Xaros nodded to himself and then rubbed his brow. Even if he was suppressing his aura and presence, there was nothing he could do about the way his very words could tease and arouse. "I should probably go see Acheron as well." Nevermind that he was talking about all this as if he wasn't cuffed to her at the moment. "Worst comes to worst, maybe he can help." Or he'd just laugh in Xaros's face. And there was the matter of the Simi.<br><br>Putting all that out of his mind, he fell silent and simply stared up at the woman who'd been thrust into his life. With his free hand, he absently reached up to brush some hair from her face and he gave her a genuine smile. "For what it's worth, Katheryn, I really am sorry you got caught up in all this. My guess is, whatever you said about Aphrodite, she heard it and decided to get back at us both."

				His smile made her see him in a sort of new light, he wasn't doing anything to stir her desires, and he was somewhat explaining things to her. The fact that he'd suppressed his aura to ensure her comfort was something she hadn't expected him to do. When his hand rested against her hip, she didn't feel that fire burn through her, and it was oddly pleasing to have his touch. Like his aura was still there, but instead of desire, she felt comforted by the the action. In the very least, she didn't ask him to move it, or move it away herself, she let that large, warm hand rest on the soft curve of her hip because she simply wanted it there for the time being, "Thank you then, for making it easier for me. I didn't mean to snap at you last night either, I was just a little overwhelmed by everything."<br><br>In response to his question, she nodded and settled down until her head rested against his chest again, "He was the first one to tell me about your existance, and actually, he donated the statue to the museum where I work. Never would say how he got it, only that it was very real and came from ancient Greece." She didn't pry when he said Julian's story was his own to tell, everyone had a past and it was theirs to tell or not. Making a small sound of agreement, she thought for a few moments before speaking, "If anyone knows anything about the gods, it's Julian, I don't think there's anything he doesn't know. It's almost like he was one of them somehow...ah, nevermind that, just thinking out loud." Kat smiled back to him when he smiled at her, unable to resist the simple gesture when she found his to be so pleasant when he wasn't trying to seduce her.<br><br>"She? You mean Aphrodite? Why would she listen to Julian over a fellow god...oh right, the Eros thing, I'm sorry." She had the decency to blush at having forgotten for a moment just who she was with. Idly, the tips of her fingers slid over his chest, tracing the smooth skin and lines of muscle that were visible, "I know I ask a lot of questions, but how would Acheron be able to help? He doesn't seem like the type to know how to get us out of this kind of situation. Unless he's some kind of god or something, but I've never heard of one named Acheron." When he fell silent, she glanced up to meet his eyes, staying still when his hand lifted toward her. Her eyes fell shut when his hand brushed her hair away from her face, drinking in the gentleness of that action, because it had nothing to do with sex, it was just pleasant.<br><br>Reaching up with her free hand, she caught his before it could retreat away from her, holding it gently against her cheek, "I don't know what I've gotten into, and part of me doesn't want to know any more than I already do, but you don't have to apologize to me." Turning her head a little, she kissed the palm of his hand and then let go, returning her head to it's place against his chest. Her eyes met his again and she laughed softly, "Probably didn't take kindly to me calling her a heifer goddess, I heard Acheron's friend Simi say it once about Artemis and I thought it fit well for both of them." Shifting a little, she drew herself up until she could stretch out along the line of his body, a little closer to his face this time. Reaching up with the hand that tied her to him, she slid her fingertips over one side of his face.<br><br>Glancing at the clock, she thought for a moment and then looked back at him, "Julian has classes until nine, then he has an hour of free time. I'll call him soon and let him know I'm coming to speak to him, I think for some reason, it might be best if I leave out the part about you being with me." Dropping her gaze a little, she centered her attention on his mouth, sliding her finger over his bottom lip. She'd been dying to ask something since she started to partially believe he was a god, and she decided that now was the best time to ask, "So, what's it like to kiss the all powerful god of lust and love?"

				Xanos smiled again and nodded. "I won't be able to do it during the day, but I'll at least try to remember to turn it off at night so you can sleep." He pulled his hand away from her hip, being careful not to touch her as he murmured, "Brace yourself." With a slow, confident smirk that seemed to appear of its own accord, he released the bonds he'd placed on his presence the night before as his aura seemed to swallow her up.<br><br>"I doubt the warning did much good, but..." Even his voice had changed as he stopped holding back, becoming slow and seductive, erotic even as with a simple statement like that. "As for the kiss..." This time, he smirked much more deliberately as he leaned up to murmur in her ear, "Why don't you find out, hmm?"<br><br>He laid back down and tucked his free hand under his pillow, reaching up with the cuffed hand to grab her hand and squeeze it gently. She'd probably kill him for it tonight when he bound his presence once more, but it would be worth it. Deliberately, he shifted beneath her, pressing the thick bulge of his covered groin against her mound as he watched her.<br><br>He nodded to himself at the mention of Julian and then he sighed. "We'd best make sure he has no students around as well." He looked down at himself as if that answered the unasked question as to why this was a good idea. "Also...don't mention me and...well, duck as soon as we get there." He knew there was absolutely no love lost between Julian and himself, but perhaps being cuffed to one of his former students would help.<br><br>"I should also talk, briefly, with Kyrian Hunter. Since I seem to have ended up wrapped up with that crowd, we'll need to...establish a few things." He chuckled. "Besides, you probably want to have words with him, no?"

				It made sense, that he wouldn't be able to hold it back all the time, it had to be hard to do even for the course of the night. Still, she appreciated the gesture on her behalf, he had been trying to allow her the pleasure of a decent night's sleep. The loss of his hand on her hip made her want to pull it back there, at least until he murmured those two words. As soon as he took those bonds off of himself, Kat hissed in pleasure as his aura all but wrapped itself around her. Every nerve ending in her body was highly aware of the man beneath her, and her hands curled into small fists against his chest. Gods help her, this man was driving her out of her mind with need and he wasn't doing anything to her except being there.<br><br>Her body reacted more than a little predictably to him too, with her bare breasts pressed against his chest, she could feel them grow tight and hard against his warm skin. Blushing, even in the face of so much desire, she could feel the wetness between her slender thighs. She knew he could feel it, would feel it, even through the material of his boxers, and there was nothing she could do about it. The words he said made her lift her eyes to his lips, blue eyes filled with need, centering on his mouth as he spoke. Like she needed any more encouragement to kiss him than his mere presence in the same room as her. Now she knew why it was always stated in the myths that Eros never failed to bed a woman he wanted. Except that one, and then again, this was not Eros, this was Xanos, but the principle was the same.<br><br>When he shifted beneath her, pressing himself against her already aching center, she squeezed her eyes shut. Pleasure coursed through her and she heard herself moan softly, unable to keep from drawing her legs up a little and rocking herself against, into that bulge pressed so perfectly against her. His next words, she barely comprehended, she'd think back to them after this haze of pleasure lightened a little. Kat was really struggling to pull herself together, to reign in her obviously raging horomones. Her body kept reminding her that she had more than enough time to take him, that she had time to satisfy her needs. The mind was a different matter, she was trying so hard to stop the thoughts she was having, but it felt like he consumed her mind and body at the same time.<br><br>Pushing herself up onto her knees, she reached out and pulled him up with her until he was sitting with her straddling him. Her breathing was uneven, soft breasts rising and falling with the effort it was taking not to free him from those boxers and impale herself on his shaft. Instead, she slid forward, intentionally pressing her body to his again, lifting her free hand so her fingers could slide into his silky hair. Gripping it gently, she leaned in and pressed her lips to his, trembling hard just from that simple pleasure. It took every ounce of self control she had left to remain still except the movement of her mouth against his. When it felt like she was going to lose every bit of control she had left, she pulled her lips from his, making herself just sit there.<br><br>She was teetering, on the verge or orgasm just because of his presence, if there had been any doubt to his being a god, it was gone now. Managing to pull herself off of him, away from him, was the hardest thing she could ever remember doing. Sitting beside him, she still trembled, struggling to control herself as she reached for her cell phone on the night table, "I'll...call Amanda and let her know we're coming by later." Kat was dying to reach between her thighs, positive that just a brush of her fingers against her clit would do her in this time. Grasping her cell, she flipped it open and scrolled through her contacts, sending the call to Amanda when she reached her name. <em>"Hunter residence."</em> Trying to keep her voice calm, Kat spoke into the phone, "Amanda it's Kathryn, I wanted to know if it was alright that I stop by your place around ten."<br><br>There was a pause and she heard the baby in the background, <em>"Of course, you're welcome any time, you'll have to put up with Kyrian today though, he's home from work."</em> Swallowing a little, Kat nodded even though the woman couldn't see her through the phone, "That's alright, he's the one I needed to talk to...I'll umm, I'll be by later then." Curse that Xanos and his god powers, she couldn't calm down at all, <em>"Kat, you sound funny, are you ok?"</em> Tensing a little, she forced herself to be somewhat normal, "Yes, I'm fine, I'll be by there later, thanks Amanda." Quickly closing her phone, she took a breath and turned her eyes toward the god sitting in her bed, "Before we go see Julian, I need a very cold shower..."

				Xanos grinned to himself as he watched her almost come undone simply because he stopped holding back. Despite himself, he couldn't help murmuring, "At least you look like you're enjoying yourself." His lips curled into a slow smirk as he seemed to be completely aware of her fascination with his lips. "I don't bite, you know...unless you want me to."<br><br>He captured her lips with his as she sat up, looping his free hand around her waist as he parted his lips and forced his tongue into her mouth to slowly explore and caress, catching her tongue with his as he held her close. He knew she was struggling and saw no reason to make things more difficult, at least at the moment. However, as he realized just how wet she was, he couldn't help shifting his hips beneath her again and then pressing up firmly against her.<br><br>Even still, he seemed to be in no rush, letting her set the pace of their relationship even as he knew she was under his spell. He simply sat and watched her with a knowing smirk on his face as she made her phone call, and then he grinned at the mention of the shower. "Yes, a shower would probably be a good thing." He rose with her as they left the bed and headed for the attached bathroom again. Somehow in the short walk, though, his boxers had "mysteriously" disappeared.<br><br>This time, he started the shower, having no intention of taking a cold shower. They had plenty of time, anyway. If they had to see Julian after ten, then that left almost an hour of time to themselves. Ah, the things they could do in that time. Again, he entertained the idea of shoving her against the shower wall and giving her a fuck she'd never forget. Somehow, he imagined she'd be more amenable to that this time.<br><br>He stepped into the shower and pulled her in after him, wrapping an arm around her waist as he nestled his very apparent erection between her asscheeks again. Bringing his lips to her ear, he murmured, "You know...there are better things to do before we leave than just a cold shower..." He kissed her neck softly before lifting his lips to her ear again. "You can cum now, Kat."

				Getting through the phone call had been almost painful in some ways, she had managed not to say anything stupid at least. But that shower, a very cold one, was what she needed to cool her traitorous body down a little. When he agreed to it, she raised her eyebrows a little, but got up from the bed and walked into the bathroom with him. Again, his clothes, boxers really, seemed to disappear without any explanation or warning of any kind. Must be nice to be able to change clothes without having to go through the hassle of actually doing the changing and all that. Her mouth opened to protest when she saw him turn the shower on, not setting to cold like she desperately needed.<br><br>She didn't have time to speak as he stepped into the showed and tugged her inside with him, much to her dismay. A strong arm wrapped around her waist and she was pulled up against him, his erection pressing teasingly against her body. Kat trembled all over again, closing her eyes as his voice drifted into her ear, pushing her closer to that orgasm she so desperately wanted to have and avoid at the same time. His lips touched her neck and the last of her will power crumbled away into nothing. The words he spoke into her ear completely did her in, her head fell back against his shoulder, a little cry leaving her as orgasm rocked her from head to toe.<br><br>Her body trembled and she squirmed in his arms, gasping as pleasure flooded her senses with the most intense orgasm she'd ever had. Evidence of that ran down the insides of her thighs, something she didn't care to try and hide anymore. The ache hadn't subsided all that much though, probably because he was still touching her, she thought. She could just indulge herself and let him have his way with her the way she wanted to, but there was the meeting with Julian, and then with Kyrian. It was then that her body reminded her that she would have to be aroused, wet and needy for the man through all of it if she didn't take him now. Turning her head a little, she let her lips find his neck, kissing softly as her hands slid over the arm that was holding her against him.<br><br>"If I have sex with you, will it still be so hard to be near you all day?" She murmured softly against his neck, turning in his embrace a little until she could feel his erection pressed tightly against her lower belly. It was a kind of torture she didn't know if she'd survive, having to suffer through the whole day, wanting him constantly. Though at this point, she was starting not to care if it helped at all, the edge had been taken off, even a little, and she still wanted him inside her. There was only so much a woman could take before she hit the breaking point, and Kat knew she was awfully close to that point now.

				Xanos chuckled softly as she turned to face him, running his free hand through her hair as he leaned into press his lips to hers for a long moment, pressing forward to force her to move back until her back rested against the shower wall. Breaking the kiss, he brought his free hand down to wrap her legs around his waist as he murmured, "It should help, yes." He'd explain further when they weren't in such a position.<br><br>For now, though, he simply smirked at her as he held her against him, rubbing the thick length of his cock against her slit in a slow, teasing caress. He smiled again as he watched her, simply admiring her beauty as he held her against him, resting his free hand on the wall behind her as he all but towered over her even in this position.<br><br>Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he began to oh so slowly slide into her, stretching her around his girth as he filled her, reaching places no man had before as he finally took what he'd been wanting since they got home the previous evening. The fact that she wanted it too only made it sweeter.

				Kat let him kiss her, trembling a little as he pressed her backward until her back met the cool shower wall, the hand not cuffed to him reaching up to slide around his shoulder. Anticipation welled up inside her as he lifted her legs up from the floor and around his waist, instantly tightening them around his waist. A gasp broke free of her mouth as he rubbed his cock against the sensitive folds nestled between her thighs, her hips involuntarily&nbsp; tipping up each time, her body wanting him inside. She gazed up at him, feeling small and delicate with him towering over her the way he was, trying to calm herself a little even if she was desperate for him. It hit her then that she hadn't believed in the gods until last night, she was caught up in something she probably didn't want to know more about, and she was about to have sex with the god of lust and love himself.<br><br>When he started to slide his cock inside her body, she tipped her head back against the wall, moaning softly as he stretched her to fit him. It took all she had not to orgasm just from the feeling of him sliding inside her, her smaller body drawing him in, adjusting to his size as he filled her. This was what her body wanted, what it had craved from the very beginning, and she was in a whole new realm of pleasure now that she was getting it. Adjusting her legs a little, she renewed her hold on him and tightened her legs around him, pushing her hips down, not able to take his slow pace. She didn't stop until their hips met, and nearly whimpered at the way it felt to have him sheathed inside her. He was so big, touching places, filling her in a way that no man had ever done, filling her so completely that it was almost uncomfortable. <br><br>Gods help her, she wouldn't get out of this without more than a few orgasms, not that she minded in the least, she was just dreading the questions Kyrian and Julian would ask. Taking his hand that was cuffed to hers, she brought it around behind her, moving her arm with it so he could help hold her up. Sliding her feet down a little, she braced them against backs of his upper thighs, her free arm holding onto him tightly. Kat's eyes met his and she lifted herself a little, biting her lower lip as he slid out a little, dropping her hips back down to take him inside again, pulling a moan from her throat. It wasn't the most graceful movement, but she needed to move, she had to move because she couldn't be still anymore. She repeated the action again, knowing she probably seemed impatient, and she was. There was so much she wanted, half of it she didn't understand, but she was really going to lose her mind if he didn't start moving.<br><br>"Move...with me..." Her teeth were halfway clenched when she spoke, her hips meeting his again and making her body tremble with need for him. Every part of her wanted him to hold her against that wall and take her hard and fast, she wanted to be able to feel it later. She tightened her thighs around his waist, holding him inside her, meeting his eyes as she rolled her hips, grinding against him. A little cry of pleasure fell from her lips at the feeling that created, and she swore she saw stars because of it, much more of that and she'd orgasm a second time.

				Xanos smirked slowly as he tightened his grip around her, pressing his body firmly against hers, enjoying the feel of her breasts rubbing against his chest as the water washed over them both. As he held her there and simply waited, he felt her desires and fantasies open to him and he smirked again. There was no need for words now, from him or from her. This was his element and he knew as instinctively as he knew his own name what would please this woman the most. And he intended to put that knowledge to use.<br><br>He watched her as she began to move slowly against him, but even now his hips were still, allowing her to bounce on him without his aid. Allowing his eyes to fall closed, he relaxed slightly and simply savored the sensations of being within her. He could feel every motion and involuntary reaction as she headed toward another orgasm and it brought a smile to his lips. Regardless of how he felt about his powers, this was what he did and it always made him feel good when he showed a woman just what sex could really be about.<br><br>However, he knew she was starting to get impatient and so he opened his eyes to look down at her and he smirked again. His hips moved slowly against hers as his free hand drifted down to her ass to squeeze and caress as he moved.Keeping the pace slow and leisurely at first, he smirked at her as began to move faster and faster, pressing her against the wall as he intended to fulfill her fantasy.

				It was almost pleasure and pain when she took him inside her body, easing the ache of needing to be filled, and starting a new one for him to move. She had to move, it was impossible for her to keep still when she had him so far inside her. That was just like teasing herself though, she couldn't get enough leverage to move the way she wanted to move. In her mind, she wanted him just to grab her and hold her there against the wall while he took her. He had started this feeling inside her and she knew he was the only one who could see to her pleasure now. Because of that, she nearly begged him to move as she pressed her hips down against his, so close to sending herself into orgasm.<br><br>When his eyes opened and he smirked down at her, she opened her mouth to say something, but it turned into a pleasured moan as he started to move. She held him as he moved, it was slow but she didn't care as long as he moved, if she died from pleasure at least she'd die happy. That was the thought on her mind until he started to increase the pace, pressing her against the wall and keeping her there. Kat couldn't help when her second orgasm crashed through her, clinging to him as best she could as she rode it out. Though, with him still moving inside her, it just helped to start building her toward another one, like she knew would happen. Sliding her free hand into his hair, she leaned in and pressed her lips against his, tightening her legs around his waist.<br><br>Her moans of pleasure were muffled against his mouth, the only thing left on her mind was him, nothing else mattered to her right now. Lifting her lips from his, she met his eyes, her face flushed and her breathing quick, unstable, "Harder...you won't hurt me..." She hadn't ever been one to like sex if it wasn't in the realm of what people considered 'lovemaking', the gentle kind of sex that only made a person feel loved in the end. Right now, she didn't want that, didn't need the slow, gentle nature of that, because she wasn't in love with him. It was sex, pure and simple, and she wanted it to be almost wild, passionate, something she wouldn't ever forget. Not that the latter was a problem, what woman could forget that she had sex with a god anyway? <br><br>Oh she'd regret this when she had to walk into Julian's office soon, but it would be more than worth it, was already more than worth it. If there was a next time between them, she promised herself she'd get him somewhere other than the shower. No, there would be a next time, she knew there would be because there was no way she could stay chained to him and not get her hands on him again.

				Xanos smirked slowly as he continued to move against Kat, sliding in and out of her again and again. At her words, he smirked again, and if it was possible for him to slow his pace any further, he did so without stopping. He allowed this pace for only a few moments before he growled softly and pressed her firmly into the wall, careful not to use too much of his divine strength, even with only one hand free he knew he could do some damage if he wanted to or wasn't careful.<br><br>And then he suddenly seemed to take her words to heart, rocking his hips furiously against hers, filling her completely with every sudden, powerful thrust that drove him as deep into her as he could go only to nearly withdraw completely. Again and again his flesh slapped against hers and he closed his eyes and growled again, losing himself in their most primal act. He knew he wouldn't last that much longer (even gods couldn't go forever), but he intended to see her get off one more time before he did.<br><br>His free hand dropped to her ass once more, squeezing and fondling roughly as he pounded into her wet and willing body, grinding his hips against hers with every stroke, adding a bit of stimulation to her clit as he went. Opening his eyes, he met hers before he leaned in and captured her lips for a hard, demanding, possessive kiss. Perhaps even a soul searing kiss as he lost himself in their coupling. She'd asked before what it was like to kiss the god of lust, and how he was showing her exactly what that request <em>really</em> entailed.<br><br>He could feel himself starting to swell, feel the tightness in his balls as he neared his orgasm but he grit his teeth and groaned. What was wrong with him? He'd never come this close to release without his partner getting off at <em>least</em> three times.

				When he growled and pressed her against the wall, her heartbeat increased again, feeling the strength in his arms as he held her as though she weighed nothing. Her free hand gripped his hair a little and then released it, sliding down to his shoulder while her other hand held onto his arm that also had the cuff on it. The first forceful thrust brought a gasp from her throat as her head tipped back against the shower wall. Each time their bodies met, he filled her completely, forcefully, in a way that she hadn't ever been taken before. The hand on his shoulder gripped a little tighter as he stuck with that pace, bringing feminine moans of pleasure from her throat with nearly every thrust he made into her.<br><br>Every inch of her body felt like it was on fire and Kat couldn't be still even though she tried, it felt too good to be still. When his free hand dropped to her ass she tightened her legs around him and met one of his thrusts, just as forceful as one of his own thrusts. It made her cry out and her back arched in pleasure, if this was what she'd been missing out on, she swore she'd never do slow and gentle again. As his hips started grinding against hers, Kat couldn't do anything more than writhe in pleasure in his arms and cry out for him. She was nearly in tears from how good it felt when his mouth found hers and she whimpered into the kiss. Another few thrusts, the grinding of their bodies together and Kat couldn't hold back anymore even if she wanted to.<br><br>Her third orgasm hit her and she cried out his name as she turned her head away from their kiss. She trembled from head to toe, her thighs clenching tightly around his waist while her inner walls tightened and released around him countless times. It seemed to go on forever and each thrust he made into her only intensified it until her head fell against his shoulder and she held onto him as tightly as she could. Out of pure instinct, her legs finally locked around him, pulling him inside as deeply as she could. Kat's lips sought his out again and she kissed him hard, almost passionately as she clung to him, her body still trembling in the throes of orgasm. She was intoxicated by the feeling of being with him, of having him inside her and the pleasure that he could bring.<br><br>She didn't release their kiss, holding it while her tongue slid over his, boldly learning every part of his mouth. It was more than clear that she was already on the very edge of that elusive fourth orgasm, something she'd never felt before. Three was a stretch, but four was something she had yet to experience with any of her past lovers, as few as they were. And it didn't take long to get her there, the constant meeting of flesh against flesh, the way he would grind his hips into hers each time. Her fingernails raked down his back as the fourth one hit her harder than the previous three had. Oversensitivity had her crying out against his mouth, her eyes brimming with tears because of the near painful sensations that spread through her. Kat just knew if he didn't cum soon that she'd die from the pleasure of being with him, but what a way to die that would be.

				Xanos growled again, a thoroughly feral sound as he slammed into her sharply again and again, his shaft swelling within her as he felt her reach her third climax, and then her fourth. His lips pressed firmly against hers and he nibbled on her lower lip, being careful not to be too rough even as he slammed his hips against hers. He was teetering on the edge of orgasm himself, but he intended to give her everything he could.<br><br>And then he tensed up, his free hand squeezing her ass firmly as he growled into her mouth for a final time and erupted, his shaft swelling completely before pumping a massive load of his cum directly into her willing body. He kept his grip tight until he felt his own release end and then he finally released his hold on her, stepping away from the wall and looping the hand that was cuffed around her body as best he could. Not that it mattered, he was clearly able to support her weight with just the one hand at her ass.<br><br>Slowly, he pulled away from the kiss and simply watched her, his gaze boring into hers. He knew she'd start to work through what she'd just done, already knew she was the sort to analyze everything. Strangely, he found that he didn't want to leave. (Nevermind that they were still cuffed.) Normally he would have simply left his partner, perhaps to think it was a dream. But this woman...she touched something in him without even trying. Maybe because she knew his story, he mused. It had been his choice to keep himself out of the stories the scribes recorded, and he knew Julian had not told his story out of kindness. And yet, she knew him, had learned about him, as no one else bothered to do in millenia.<br><br>Absently, he realized they were still under the shower and so with a thought, he turned the water off and dried them both, stepping out of the shower afterwards. He didn't have to look at a clock to know they were still doing ok on time, they just couldn't dally much longer. "Let's get dressed and get going." As he carried her into bedroom, he paused for a moment and looked down at their joined hands. "I hope you can drive with us like this."

				<em><span style="font-size: 8pt;" class="bbc_size">(I'm so sorry it took me this long to get a post back to you, I've started a new job and I'm working 12hr shifts. Now that my schedule is straightened out, I'll be able to reply faster next time. ^_^ The post is a bit long, but I hope you enjoy it!)</span></em><br><br><br><br>Kat felt like she was going to die from the pleasure he was bringing her by the time she reached her fourth orgasm. Her body was trembling uncontrollably&nbsp; and her legs locked tightly around him, refusing to let him go even though she was so sensitive it almost hurt. The cries falling from her lips increased with each thrust, each slam of his hips against hers, whimpering into his mouth when his lips found hers again. She clung to him desperately, returning his kiss with one of her own, her cries of pleasure muffled against his mouth. A fifth orgasm hit her and Kat found herself crying out his name again, almost helplessly, as though she were pleading with him to finish and not to at the same time.<br><br>She felt him tense, heard the growl that she caught in her mouth, and then she felt his cum filling her, spreading warmth through her lower abdomen. Only when he stopped moving within her did she start to finally begin to come down from the pleasure high she'd been on. When he stepped away from the wall and adjusted his hold on her, she tensed up at the slightest movement because she could feel it all the way to the tips of her toes. It was at that moment she became aware that he was still nestled inside her body, making a soft, pink blush rise up on her already flushed cheeks. Her eyes opened when he broke the kiss, dark blue and shimmering in the light, clearly still 'drunk' on the feeling of being with him. Of course it had been amazing, but there were always consequences for every action a person took.<br><br>Their eyes met and she sobered a little more, processing the fact that she'd just had completely mind-blowing sex with a god. The second thought was far more sobering, as she realized he'd not been wearing a condom, she hadn't had a sex life in years and was no longer protected, and he'd cum inside her. Ducking her head a little, she broke the gaze, her face turning bright red as she became highly aware of their entire situation. Maybe it was best that she didn't mention it to him, she didn't want him to take things the wrong way, or think she hadn't enjoyed it. The water stopping drew her out of her thoughts and she stayed silent as he dried the both of them off and stepped from the shower. He hadn't put her down, and didn't seem to be in any hurry to get to that point either, something she didn't understand.<br><br>When he spoke, she glanced back up at him and nodded, finding her voice again, "I can drive like this..." Carefully, Kat lifted herself enough to let his cock slip from her body and then lowered herself to her feet. She blushed yet again when she felt the slow trickle of wetness on the inside of her thighs where some of his cum had escaped her body. It wasn't all of it, that much she was positive of, there had been much more than that. Averting her eyes from him, she picked up the shirt she'd meant to sleep in the night before and used it to clean herself off before depositing it in the laundry hamper. Trying not to drag him around too much or keep pulling at the cuffs, she got a pair of panties from her dresser and used her free hand to put them on with. Instead of trying to dress normally, she chose a strapless dress she could just step into and&nbsp; pull up into place.<br><br>Half an hour later, Kat was standing outside Julian's office, having a feeling that this meeting would not be pleasant. Casting a glance at Xanos, she lifted her hand and knocked on the door a couple of times, "Enter, it isn't locked." Reaching out, she opened the door and poked her head inside with a light smile, "Hello, Julian, you're not busy are you?" The man looked up from his desk and flashed her a smile, "Of course not, come on in and sit down, Kathryn." Keeping Xanos out of sight, she cleared her throat a little nervously, "Well, you see, I need to tell you something before I come inside, and I really hope you'll be understanding about it." He frowned and stood up from his chair, "You aren't in some kind of trouble, are you?" Holding up her hand, she stopped him from coming around the desk to get closer to the door, "Please let me explain first, I really need to."<br><br>For a moment, he was silent and then he nodded to her and crossed his arms over his broad chest, "Alright, what's on your mind?" Taking a deep breath, she held it for a moment and then exhaled, "I really need you not to be mad, but I went out last night and I woke up handcuffed to a guy I've never met before. Not just any guy, he's um...well...he's a god, Julian, a Greek god and I swear I'm not lying." He raised his eyebrows a little and stared at her, trying to discern whether or not she was telling him the complete truth. Satisfied that he didn't see a trace of a lie on her face, he nodded slightly, "Please, continue with what you were saying." Kat was shocked that he seemed to believe her, but if anyone would she knew it would be him, "We can't get the cuffs off, they're from the forge of Hephaestus and nothing on this Earth will get them off, or so the stories go. And I really need your help with this."<br><br>Julian tensed at the mention of such things, not every god and goddess had access to those cuffs even if they were made by another god. Tilting his head a little, he dropped his arms away from his chest and took a step toward her, "Kathryn, just which god are you handcuffed to right now?" Swallowing a little, she pushed the door the rest of the way open so that it would reveal Xanos at her side. The moment the other man came into view, Julian tensed and his eyes darkened dangerously, "You!" Kat jumped at the tone of her former professor's voice, putting herself between the two men out of instinct, "Julian, I don't know what that look is for, but I don't like it very much." He growled low in his throat, his eyes never leaving the other male, "That man...does not deserve to be called a god, Kathryn. He is the reason Eros was lost to us and all of Olympus."<br><br>Blinking a little, she looked from Xanos to Julian, trying to get a feel on the situation, but she really didn't understand, "Lost to us, what do you mean 'us'?" Glancing down at her, Julian was doing his best to resist trying to harm the man, for concern for her safety, "Eros and I share the same blood, we're brothers, Kathryn. My mother is Aphrodite." Before she could stop it, Kat felt her mouth fall open, just staring up at him with wide eyes, pointing an accusing finger at him. He didn't lie, she'd never known Julian to lie about anything, and everyone else said much the same of him. Snapping her mouth shut, she considered her words carefully, or at least tried to, "You mean to tell me that not only have I been handcuffed to a god, the god of lust more accurately, with handcuffs that won't come off without help from the maker of the cuffs or a key. I've been subjected to the torment of his aura for the last twelve hours or so, had him screw me senseless half an hour ago. And now you're telling me that your mother is that pathetic heifer goddess of stupidity?"<br><br>At the mere mention of the sexual activities from earlier, Julian growled dangerously at the other man, "I'd kill you if I knew you forced yourself on her, but I know you're not the type, unfortunately. And as for you, Kathryn, not only should you have had better sense than to let him&nbsp; touch you, you should also have had more sense than to call my mother those things." Leaning his hip against the side of his desk, he stayed quiet for a few moments before looking at her instead of Xanos, "You are handcuffed to him as punishment, the same for him to you, and it is my mother's doing. She detests him and you offended her, so now you are stuck with him until she is satisfied that her punishment is sufficient. I can't release the cuffs even if I wanted to, which I do for your sake, but it isn't within my power." Kat eyed him a little and tilted her head, "Just exactly what kind of punishment does she expect us to receive when the most obvious is the fact that we'll end up having sex numerous times? That doesn't sound like punishment to me."<br><br>A wry smile curved Julian's lips and he heaved a sigh, "You're thinking too simply, Kathryn, she knew what would happen when she bound you to him." Glancing at Xanos, he felt the anger swell inside him again, but he reigned it in as much as possible for her sake, "You are aware that human women are far more likely to conceive the child of a god than any other female creature, aren't you, Xanos?" At his words, Kat visibly paled as her thoughts from earlier that morning drifted back to her. Lifting a hand, Julian pointed as Kat as his gaze continued to rest on Xanos, "I believe it is safe to assume that she is not taking any preventive measures because she's not had a reason to do so." He knew his mother could be cruel at times, but even he had to feel sorry for Kat, not so much for Xanos though, "Unless you intend to have her carry your child, if she isn't already, I would suggest that you restrain yourself, or invest in condoms and hope they don't break. Though, with mother behind all of this, I doubt any preventive measures would be successful if she wants that outcome. For Kathryn's sake, pray mother hasn't enlisted the help of the other deities who have a hand in the fertility of women."

				Xanos spent the entire ride to Julian's office grumbling to himself, though he never bothered to explain just what he was grumbling about. She'd find out soon enough. She was quiet the entire ride, but he expected that. He'd just fucked her brains out not even thirty minutes ago, he understood that she'd need time to let it sink in. At least he could be himself without worrying about his effect on her. Those he'd recently had sex with were singularly unaffected by his aura for at least 12 hours. The fact that he forgot to mention this as they were driving could be attributed to stress.<br><br>It did not, however, help what happened on the walk to the office after they'd arrived at campus. Because she was still unaffected, he didn't think to worry about any female college students that might be around this early in the morning. That was a mistake. He counted no less than six on the walk, and all six of them immediately took note of him, not that he noticed. He seemed unaware of the growing train of women behind the two of them as they got to the building they needed, but he finally realized what happened when one of them tried to grab his ass. With a curse wrapped in a groan, he picked Kat up and dashed into the building, shutting and locking the door behind him with only a thought.<br><br>He did, however, think to set her down before they got to Julian's office. There'd be enough trouble there without him carrying her in. He held his breath as he heard Kat and Julian talking and he stepped in at his "introduction." He waited for Julian's inevitable explosion, and was somewhat surprised and even impressed when the man held himself in check. Rubbing his brow as he stood there, he sighed when she let slip about the fact they had sex already. With a sigh, he stepped in front of Kathryn, putting himself between her and Julian.<br><br>And then he began to speak for himself. "This is partially your fault, Julian." He stood his ground and smirked, and then continued. "There's a reason I prefer to linger in obscurity, you know. Most people don't even know I exist, and I doubt your mother picked Kat here simply because she offended her." He raised an eyebrow and murmured, "In fact, the only people who seem to know about me are the gods...and your mythology students. Why do you tell my story, Julian? And that statue. Why did you donate it to a museum?" He shook his head. "It doesn't matter, but we both know your mother well enough to know she wouldn't sic me on someone COMPLETELY unsuspecting. At least, not unless she was well and truly pissed." He glanced over at Kathryn and then sighed. "I've no doubt that's what she's hoping for. But she can't ask for help, not in a personal vendetta like this. You know the rules, Julian. Rules that were written AFTER I ascended."<br><br>Glancing briefly out Julian's window he sighed. "Unless you want Kat here subjected to a screaming mob...I hope you have another way out of here when we're finished." Then he chuckled. "But we're NOT finished. This bad blood has gone on between us for millenia. Eros was your brother, but if I recall, Julian, you didn't get along with your family." He sighed again and seemed to visibly deflate as he looked straight at Julian. "I would gladly give your brother his divinity back if it meant I could spend my life with Xila the way you can with your wife. What are you up to now, 3 kids?" He shook his head. "But the fact is, I can't. And you can't have your brother back. How was I supposed to know the Fates would hold the bargain to be absolute, and to actually force him to give up his divinity?"

				The ride to Julian's office had been quiet, as she expected it to be, save for the grumbling that Xanos was doing. She didn't ask what was bothering him because she had so much on her mind that she wasn't too concerned yet. How could she not think about the fact that she'd just had the best sex of her life, with a Greek god no less. While she didn't feel affected by his aura while driving, she was more than aware of it once they arrived on campus. From the very beginning, she had noticed the women noticing him, and she barely had had time to open her mouth to speak before she was lifted into his arms. Locked inside the building, safely away from the mob of women outside, she shook it off as he put her down in front of Julian's office. And that was really where the interesting stuff started, there was so much she had and hadn't expected from it all.<br><br>It was overwhelming, the things Julian was saying to her, things that shouldn't have made sense but did at the same time. When Xanos stepped between her and the demi-god, she grew quiet, knowing it was his time to speak. She stayed silent and Julian centered his attention on the other man, "Don't go blaming your problems on me before you know the facts, Xanos. I do not tell all of my students about you, not even half of them know your story because I don't care to sit and tell it. You think I enjoy admitting that my brother was a fool to make a bet with you?" Glancing at Kat, he drew himself up and turned away from the two of them with a heavy sigh and shake of his head. Rubbing his temples, he started again, "The only reason she knows about you is because she found the statue by accident, and started asking questions. So, I told her your story and donated the statue to the museum where she works, for her." He softened his gaze as his eyes turned to her, showing that he held no blame in her for anything happening now. Looking back at Xanos, he scoffed and looked out the window, "My mother is notorious for doing just that very thing, but no, she knew Kathryn knew about you, everything about you. That's why she put the two of you together."<br><br>Running a hand through his hair, he took a breath and looked back at the two of them and at the cuffs binding them together, "I don't know Mother's intentions, I can only guess at what she has planned. There isn't an easy way out of this situation, unless you find a way to appease her anger, because I don't think either of you are capable of keeping your hands off of each other." As the conversation drew on, Kat's eyes turned to the floor, staying quiet until she heard his comment about Xila. Hearing him talk about it made Julian's story more real, far more real than she had the heart to listen to. "Stop it...both of you." She said softly as she stepped forward, putting Xanos behind her and focusing her attention on Julian. Thinking for a moment, she looked away from him, "You told me once that if a human does something completely selfless for another person, Zeus or Hera would grant them one request. Everybody on the planet knows that ninety nine percent of people couldn't perform a selfless act if they had to."<br><br>Glancing at her, he frowned and grabbed her shoulders, shaking her gently, "Whatever is in your head, don't you dare do it. The gods are not the kind of beings you want to toy with, Kathryn, once a deal is made, it can't be reversed." Shrugging his hands off of her shoulders, she met his eyes, avoiding looking at Xanos, "He never wanted to be a god, all he wanted was her, to stay with her and love her until they died and the Fates took that way. I can take his place, Julian, he can be human again and I know it is within their power to reincarnate her. Maybe it won't be a fairy tale of a life, be at least he would have a chance at something that was stolen from him before." Julian's eyes widened a little and he leaned against his desk as he looked at her in a bit of shock, "Have you lost your mind, you foolish girl? Even if they had that power, do you realize that you are giving up everything you hold dear. You won't die, you will be forced to watch everyone you love pass away while you continue to live out your life for the rest of time. Is that what you want to pay in return for his freedom?" <br><br>Collecting himself, he stepped toward her and put an arm around her, looking over her head at Xanos with a warning glance. Lightly stroking her hair, he smiled a little, "I will speak to my mother on your behalf, Kat. I can't promise that she will end this madness, but I will speak with her about it. In the meantime, you should talk with Acheron, he may be able to help in some way. Above all else, do not try to make a deal with any of them, Kathryn. Do not summon them here to try and reason with them, they would sooner kill you than look at you because you are human." Releasing her, he turned his attention toward Xanos again, motioning to a door off to the side of them. Shaking his head, he crossed his arms over his chest, "Don't let her do anything stupid, I'll never understand why she pities you anyway. Go to Kyrian's house, the last I heard, Acheron makes frequent visits there." His eyes darkening a little, he met the other man's eyes, "Just a little incentive for you to behave yourself, Xanos. Do you really want to watch her suffer childbirth, raise the child alone, grow old and die while you are forbidden to go near either of them? You know the consequences for gods who father children with humans, don't make her suffer through it either. Take the side door and go now, maybe Acheron can help while I talk with my Mother."

				"You are NOT going to take my place, Kathryn." Xanos shook his head emphatically. "As much as I hate to agree with Julian, he's right. This isn't something you need to do." He shook his head again. "Even if I was mortal...even if I did have Xila back..." He sighed. "My time has passed, Kathryn. I am nothing more than the god of Lust, as I have ever been." He looked up as Julian mentioned speaking to his mother and he put a hand up. "Don't. Not yet. Let me speak to Acheron first. Something doesn't...seem quite right yet. Like there's a piece of the puzzle I'm missing."<br><br>He glanced to the side door and nodded. "C'mon, Kat. We've another god to see today." He shook his head. That was going to over well. "And uh...I hope you're fine around Simi. She can be...a little bit odd around me." He sighed again and slipped an arm around her waist as they exited the building. He was silent until they made it back to the car and as they carefully worked their way into the vehicle, he turned to look at her, to see how she was holding up. "Listen...before we go anywhere else, I want to...explain something. Something I didn't have a chance to before we went to see Julian."<br><br>He paused, collecting his thoughts. "First off, you're going to be safe from my aura for at least the next twelve hours. Possibly even twenty-four. So...enjoy it while you can." He smiled faintly, but something still seemed to be bothering him. "We've been stuck together now for almost a day now, and while I know what makes you scream..." He grinned faintly. "I don't know who you are, Kathryn."

				Kat ducked her head a little when she was admonished for even thinking of trying to take his place and ease his suffering. She opened her mouth to speak, but closed it again when he spoke, feeling something she couldn't describe welling up in the pit of her stomach. "But, Xanos, you're more than just a god. You were human before that stupid bet, you're not like the rest of them, even if you didn't have her back...at least not right now, you could start over or..." Julian's glance in her direction made her go silent again and she stayed that way as Xanos took over speaking again. She really had no idea what was going on in the first place, so it didn't do her any good to say much about something she didn't understand. Meeting with Acheron sounded like a good idea though, the man seemed like he knew much more than anyone on the planet should know. And hey, she knew there were gods now, so why not an all knowing, super hot but very creepy guy who was probably a god too.<br><br>Just as that thought crossed her mind, Xanos kind of cemented the idea that Acheron was also a god of some kind. Nodding a little, she walked with him to the door, casting a glance back at Julian, who only had a bit of a smile on his face, as though he was trying to make himself smile for her sake. Well, that was less than reassuring to see that kind of look on Julian's face, but she shrugged it off and walked to the car. After some careful maneuvering around, she was in the driver's seat again, reaching for the key when he turned to look at her. Looking back at him, she nodded a bit and stayed quiet to let him speak what was on his mind. Aura or not, she didn't really care either way, but she appreciated him telling her that, though she had noticed the change since they'd been in the car the first time. She would have blushed at his next comment, except for the fact that he said those words at the end. Even she couldn't really answer that question, and she was quiet as she looked out the windshield for a few moments.<br><br>"Who I am? No one important, a stupid kid without any parents or a place to really belong. The only friends I have are the nutcases like Tabitha and Kyrian, and I don't have a family, despite how I might put on that I do." Sighing a little, she rested her chin on the steering wheel and&nbsp; avoided looking at him for the moment. "I'm just the kid that got dumped on the first foster family that would take me in, and as soon as I was old enough, they showed me the door. And now, well...I'm just a restoration expert at the museum, a nameless, faceless person who keeps the priceless relics looking beautiful. So you see, I meant it when I said no one would miss me, and becoming a goddess wouldn't&nbsp; be much different than how things are now." A bit of a wry smile crossed her lips and she shook her head, sitting up straight and starting the car. She didn't usually tell people about her life, mostly because she hated the way people always seemed to pity her when she told them the truth, "I guess whatever you think you want to know about me, you can ask, but there's not much more to tell than what I just told you."<br><br>With that, Kat grew silent as she started toward Amanda and Kyrian's house where she had a feeling Acheron would be. Even if he wasn't there, he was notorious for showing up out of nowhere at the oddest moments. And really, it wasn't a long trip there either, they didn't live far from the college, which was why she'd ended up hanging out with them so much while she'd been in school. That and Julian seemed to keep pushing her to meet up with them, get to know them and be friends, for reasons she didn't understand even now. Parking the car in the driveway in front of the house, she worked with Xanos to get out of the car, turning to start for the door. She collided with something, well someone actually, and blinked a bit as she looked up to see who she'd run into. Silvery eyes met her own and she visibly tensed before taking a step back, "Ash, what a surprise to see you here." The Atlantean just smirked and slid his hands into the pockets of his pants, "I knew you two would come here eventually, get on inside where we can talk. Don't worry, I only bite when asked, Kat." Her eyes went a little wide and she found herself close to Xanos's side while Acheron looked highly pleased with himself for startling her twice.
