Chapter 8: Chapter 7

Underworld.

Hades' Realm.

Persephone's POV

Hades had invited me for dinner. The black rose attached with the message made my heart hurt... I cannot give it in... cannot fall for his charms.

Standing in a simple silver gown in front of the mirror I shivered when I saw his presence behind me. His fragrance made me inhale deeply. It was a combination of lemon and mint. so raw... so rugged... so masculine. Unadulterated appeal of power and sex oozing out... it was regal... it was him.

"Exquisite..you are surreal goddess." Hades whispered taking in my form, tracing it from head to toe, he met my eyes as my lips parted when I looked at that heated stare."

His warm chest pressed into my back. "That fearlessness little rose, that determination I see in your eyes... that's dangerous and... inviting."
