Chapter 3: The Apples of Discord
ARES POV:
I look at the enchanting apple tree garden in front of me.
Golden apples are real. There is a part of me that is so drawn to them. They look so juicy, fresh, and succulent. I just want to sink my teeth in. Is that weird? I guess.
I stare at Eris' bed one more time. She is watching my eyes.
Phenylethylamine fills my nose. I begin to salivate. Oh gods. She is igniting a hunger in me without even realizing it.
I walk closer to her bed, slowly. I adjust my shirt... just to see how she reacts.
I inhale her estrogen... her heartbeat increases. She is reacting so easily to small teases. It makes me wonder what would happen if I was actually... I can't even think about it.
I look down to make sure I don't have a boner. I can't be that obvious. Some game needs to be played here. She is the goddess of discord after all. Although she had a rough day, I just know whatever thoughts she had during her truth fucking period, it was a longing for me.
I might actually lose control of myself if I keep this up. Slow down, Ares. No rush.
"Well? Apple trees in your room? How long did this take you?" I say, licking my lips.
"Oh... uh," she says, squeezing her legs together. "I just had an idea and did it. Haha. Um, they aren't really important. I know it's weird."
"It's not weird. It is actually really amazing. I didn't know apples like this even existed."
She glances down at my hands. I rub my thumb against my other fingers, slowly, as if I was sprinkling salt on something or getting crumbs off my fingers. Just a slow thumb movement around my middle finger.
"Uh...They are kind of my trademark, I guess... But really, they aren't very special. I also wouldn't recommend eating them," she says, trying to divert her gaze from my hands.
I take a step closer to her. "Why, bunny?"
"They just... have some side effects." There it is. She is so enveloped by my presence that she might just tell me everything I need to know. Though it wasn't my initial intention, I don't mind it. I take a step closer.
"What kind of side effects? Do they... turn you into gold?" I say, lowering my voice as I get closer. I am losing it a little. I need to slow down. I don't want to scare her.
"They... just... make you feel things..." she backs herself into her wall.
"Good things, little bunny?"
I am five steps away from her.
Five. "Well, kind of good... kind of bad... it depends on the situation...ha.."
"Like what?"
Four. "Like, um..." Her breath hitches. "If you were in battle... you would probably use it to... um.. do things."
"If I ate one... would I be strong enough to hold you still right now?"
Three. "Ha.. honestly, you probably could without the apple... I mean- you are already strong, not that I've thought about it before, but you're the god of war so I would assume you're strong-"
I can practically hear her heart racing in her chest. Her legs are squeezing together very hard. She is so close, but still too far for my liking. Her scent is so strong. Her body is begging me to come closer.
"Don't worry, bunny. I think about you too."
Two. "You... think about me?"
"I haven't been able to stop thinking about you." My voice is practically whispering to her. I'm still too far. I need to be closer.
One. "Wow... I guess I never actually realized how tall you were until right now..."
"Are you scared of me?" I ask, looking down at the same girl who was tied up and crying in my arms.
"No."
Her voice is soft and gentle. Her hands want to graze my skin.
Suddenly, her eyes begin to glow a bright golden. Golden tears fall down her face as she falls to her knees. Her engraving is glowing once more. She is in pain. I.. I don't know what to do. I'll just...
ERIS POV:
AHH! OH MY GODS! FUCK ME! HE GOT TOO CLOSE! FUCK! I AM TOO MUCH! IT HURTS SO BAD! IT'S NEVER BEEN THIS BAD BEFORE!
IS HE STILL HERE?? IS HE WATCHING THIS HAPPEN TO ME? FUCK! HE IS GOING TO TELL ENYO! IM NEVER SEEING ANYONE EVERY AGAIN! I CANT KEEP DOING THIS!
WHY ME? I CAN'T STAND THIS ANYMORE! THAT'S IT! IM TAKING THIS THING OFF!
I begin to try and crawl over to my wall of blades.
ALMOST THERE! JUST A LITTLE FURTHER! I CAN DO THIS! I CAN DO-
The pain goes away. What is going on...?
A wave of warmth seeps into my back. The world goes dark. I smell a familiar scent.
Ares is hugging me...
He softy runs his hands over my curls. Without a second thought, I lay down on the floor and just enjoy the absence of pain.
He lifts his body up when I fall, the pain returns. I grab his hand and put it on my back. Instant relief.
I try to catch my breath. I let my tears sink into the ground. A small golden tree shoots out of the grown. I rip it up and throw it over to the tree farm where it sinks back into the ground.
He adjusts himself and lays half of his body on me. We communicate without even talking. He closes his eyes. I kiss his chest and let myself get wrapped in his touch, the one thing that makes the pain go away.
The next morning, I wake up before Ares. I slip out of his grasp. I go out to find my mom in the last waking moments she has.
"I am so sorry, mommy! I swear we didn't do anything like that! He just made me feel better!" I begin to frantically speak to her.
"I know. I heard the tree roots growing in the house. He is a nice boy, I will say."
"He is. The only thing that has ever made me feel better when my back thing starts to hurt is his touch... why is that? I just don't get it..."
"Maybe it's because he is the one...?"
"No way! He is just too... um..." I stutter.
"Perfect for you?"
"Well, no but... yeah, I think so.
But, he just can't be the red eyed man. He has these kind blue eyes. As much as I am hoping it's him, I know it's not."
"Can I tell you a secret?"
"You have a secret? For me? I mean... I guess."
"Ares' eyes turn red in battle," She says to me
My heart drops. Could it be him? Could Ares really be the man? Is he really my one soulmate?
She points upstairs, as I had forgotten he is still asleep on the floor.
I run up to find him gone from the floor where he was just a few minutes prior. I look around for him; nowhere to be seen.
Did he leave? Surely he must have heard me and my mother talking. I was still home. What if he hates me now? I made him stay over. Gods, I am such an idiot. He would never just lay on the floor with me. I forced him to lay with me because he fixed my stupid problems. Ugh. I need to lay down. It's too early for this.
As I walk over to my bed, I see an anomaly in my garden.
ARES POV:
I wake up, and Eris is gone. Was I really that tired? When did she leave?
I stand up and glance around. She isn't in here, though her door is cracked open slightly.
I peak my head through the door to find Eris and Nyx having a discussion.
Phew.
She didn't just leave me here. That would be awkward.
I use this as a chance to explore her insane room. Based off of whatever the fuck happened last night, every time she cries in this state, she sprouts a golden apple tree. There are so many trees here...
I try to find the tiny sprout she threw over here yesterday. After some searching, I find it.
There is a small engraving on one of the branches. It says:
*Found*
Found? Found what? Maybe it is just a random occurrence of tree patterns or something, but it really looks like the word 'found'. I squat down to get a better look.
I feel a tap on my shoulder. I look up and see my beautiful goddess. Gods... what a sight to see.
Her hair is in a ponytail, her eyes still look tired. She looks down at me with puppy dog eyes.
"I was wondering where you went off to. I thought you left me.. haha" she laughs, but it has some sorrow behind it.
"Never." I say shortly and go back to looking at the plant. She gets on her knees next to me. She is so close. I miss her touch already.
"Found?" She says to me.
"I was looking at that too."
Suddenly, she stands up and runs to the very end of the garden. Im assuming it is her first tree as to how far it is. She begins to climb the tree. Her tiny little legs help her jump up. How small she is compared to normal gods.
She gets to the top and yells "FOUND!"
What is happening? Found what?
As she is climbing down, she scrapes her leg against a branch. She doesn't even notice. She runs to another tree and climbs up. This time, a tree branch knicks her arm. She doesn't seem to notice.
"FOUND! Oh my GODS!"
This time, she jumps down from the tree. Wings form at the right moment and she swoops up from her fall. She dives into a very specific hole in the ground. The hole closes with dirt. I stand there in shock as to what just happened.
A minute goes by and I don't hear anything. I don't even sense her anymore. Where did she go??
I put my ear to the ground. I feel a very low vibrating. Suddenly, another hole forms behind me and she flies out.
"Found! Found!" she yells.
"Found what??" I yell back with utmost confusion.
"You! Found you! It's you!!" She comes down and rips open an apple.
The apple juice flies onto my hand. With a slight shamefulness, I taste the juice. It is just Eris. When I taste it, I just feel her.
I taste her sweetness, her attitude, her innocence, her discord, her happiness, her sadness, and her estrogen... fuck. I want more. I need more. I look over to her. She is trying to find something in the apple.
I walk over and swiftly grab her face and bring it to mine. I kiss her. I needed more of her. I don't know how I ever lived without her.
Her lips press firmly against mine, our tongues dancing together hungrily. Our connection is stronger than I could have imagined – it feels like we share the same blood. I pull away slowly, and our foreheads touch as we breathe heavily.
Eris' cheeks flush pink, a mix of embarrassment and excitement. "You're not mad?" she whispers.
"Why would I be mad?" I murmur softly, running my fingers through her wild curls.
She smiles shyly before pulling away slightly. I step closer to her, leaning in again. My gaze meets hers intensely, holding hers captive in our shared moment. She responds with equal intensity, matching my passion and desire. Neither of us wants to break eye contact, afraid of losing the other. Finally, we release each other, both blushing deeply.
Eris looks up at me, practically drooling, "So... uh... did you know what the branches used to say?"
"Used to say?"
"They used to say 'LOST' or 'UNKNOWN'... I used to check them every day. But, I think it's you. You're FOUND. I found you," she says as she holds herself back from touching me. I can feel her resistance. She is nervous. What a cutie.
I grab her chin and bring it closer to my face, "What happens now?"
"Well, I'm really not for sure. I never thought I'd reach this point. I think that maybe.. w-we could uh.."
I kiss her mid sentence. I slowly walk her backwards towards her bed. Her scent and taste flood my nose. She is blinding my senses:
She is all I can see.
She is all I can feel.
She is all I can taste.
She is all I can smell.
She is all I can hear. Her soft whimpers every time I kiss her neck... fuck.
I push her against her wall once again, though this time, I'm not holding myself back.
She gasps as I push my newly formed boner into her abdomen. I didn't even realize it. She looks up at me with puppy dog eyes.
ERIS POV:
My heart is beating so fast. Does Ares actually like me? I feel so safe in his arms, but I also desperately wish for him to treat me like a military soldier, bossing me around like he is my commander in war. I have felt these feelings of lust before, but never as strong as this.
I am a virgin and half his size. He has to bend down to kiss me. I feel so small and weak underneath him. Knowing he is my soulmate has just drawn me closer to him. I want to be one. I want to be one with him. I found my other half.
God, his voice is making my stomach hurt... but not in a bad way. I feel like I'm leaking. Every time he kisses me or runs his hands around my legs, I get a knot in my stomach, with the only way to cure it being him. I think he knows it too. He watches my body closely responding to every touch. He is figuring me out.
I feel so impure. I am making these soft noises when I know I shouldn't. My mother is probably close to rest, but is probably still able to hear loud noises. I am being quiet, but I don't really know how good her hearing is.
I should stop, but I can't. I see how Ares reacts to my noises. I want him to want me like I want him. He pulls my voice right out of my body. I can't stop. I want to push my limits with him. How many soft sounds can I make before he can't take it anymore?
He pushes his body into mine. I thought it was his arm at first, but once I realized, I could feel that knot once again. He lets out a quivering breath of air and looks down at me.
It's just so... big... nnggg.
He has such bedroom eyes. I want him to take me. I want to be his doll. His bunny. His.
Nothing could have broken our eye contact...
except for his fingers touching me.
I looks down to see his hand grazing over my god spot. Only I have ever touched that spot. Having someone else do it...
Once he put his hand there, I jolted forward. My face pressed against his body. He picks up my face with his other hand and says, "Don't hide your face, pretty girl."
I nod and press myself against the wall again. What once were light touches of his grazing fingers are now small circles. Out of pure instinct, I grab his cock. I can't even fit my hand all the way around. He grunts in my ear.
"Look what you did to me, bunny," he whispers. His breath lingering on my neck, making me shiver.
His slow circles became small, quick, side-to-side movements. Fuck.
I grab onto his arm to keep me standing. My knees can't take it. My head whips back against the wall and I try to keep my voice down. I really can't control it now. He puts his arm around me.
The next thing I know, I am not in my room anymore. I... I'm in his. Fuck..
"Don't worry, bunny. You can be as loud as you want here."
"What about Enyo?" I say, out of breath.
"My walls are soundproof when I want them to be." He winks at me.
He keeps rubbing me, and I feel my stomach knot getting tighter.
"Don't cum yet, pretty girl. Wait for me to be inside you first."
He removes his fingers and lays me down on his bed. He takes my face in his hand.
ARES POV:
Her noises... fuck. I can't... I can't fucking hold myself back.
Especially when every single fucking breath I take, I am overwhelmed with every intoxicating chemical she has.
I've been a god for a long time now. Of course I have slept with other women, but a real goddess like Eris? This is something else. Aphrodite only wishes she could do what Eris is doing to me.
She is so sensitive to every touch I make. Every movement has a different sound. I feel like I can play her like a harp.
I can feel how wet she is getting beneath my fingers. I can see her cunt practically drooling for me. Her muscles are starting to contract. The faster I move, the more she tightens up.
Not. Yet.
I teleport us to my room as I could see her self-restriction. What a poor baby... holding herself back. I don't stop rubbing her.
She is very close. Her legs are starting to squirm. Her stomach is clenching and her legs are beginning to weaken. I am holding her up with one hand.
"Don't cum yet, pretty girl. Wait for me to be inside you first."
I feel like I ignited a spark within her, whether or not she wanted to admit it. Her eyes sparkled with the sound of my voice. I lay her down on my bed and cup her face in my hand.
"You know, Bunny... you can tell me to stop at any time. Please don't be afraid," I say, looking into her eyes half straddled over her. It looks like she is enjoying this, but with the couple of days she has had, I don't want to push my limits. I don't want to lose her.
She is looking into my soul. I can feel her heart sync with mine.
"I'm not afraid," she says, pulling my head towards her and kissing me. How bold of her...
I smile as she kisses me from below.
She never changed out of her black nightgown, and the slit in the dress is revealing so much.
Although I appreciate her boldness with me, she forgets I am the god of war and will not lose a fight. Her boldness will only last for so long before I am back in control.
I pull away and start kissing her neck once more. I want her to be mine. I want her to have my marks all over her neck. I need everyone to know she is mine and is off limits. I just don't know if she is ready.
I am practically bursting through my pants. With one swift movement of my arm, I remove them with my magic. I don't think she noticed.
Her arms wrap around my neck, almost begging me to mark her. I can feel her pulling me into her skin. I am choosing to wait a little longer. I end up just leaving hickies on her neck. Gods, she is so sweet, but also savory. Her taste is addicting.
I run my hand up her exposed thigh, soaking my fingers when I reach her cunt.
I taste my fingers as she watches me. The feeling of biting into the apple comes back to me.
My heart begins to race for her. My mouth begins to salivate. My cock begins to twitch. My pupils dilate. I can see all of her. I can feel and smell all of her. I need her.
I put one leg on my bed, stroking my cock above her. Her eyes are full of lust.
Although she is wet, I don't think she is fully ready for me yet.
I get on my bed and sit down, pulling her forward onto my lap. Her cunt is on my bare thigh.
She looks at my boner and her breath quivers. She presses her head against my shoulder and grabs on to me as if I was her lifeline. I feel her cunt clench and warm up.
I grab her hand and place it around my cock, having her help me rub it.
I kiss her lips, keeping her focused on me. I use my other hand to guide her hips up and down my thigh.
She breaks out kiss to moan against my chest. I take my hand off my cock and use it to grab her hips firmly. I slowly start to speed up her grinding. She gets more and more slippery against my thigh. Her hand moving up and down with her hips.
She begins to grind herself all on her own.
"Such a good, pretty girl.." I say into her ear.
She kisses me, once again getting bold.
I shift her over to the side, now grinding against my cock. She is so close to cumming, but I need her to wait.
I flip her over on her back. Her face is flushed and she looks intoxicating. I want to just spread her open and pound her full of my cum, but I can't. She is too precious for that... right now.
I lower myself and start licking her pussy. She really is drooling for me. I clean her up with my tongue, swallowing every bit of her addicting sweetness.
Her hands grab my hair and her hips buck into my face.
She is very sensitive right now, so I need to make her wait as long as possible before I can let her cum. Call me competitive. I am winning today.
As I stand up, she grabs my arms, pulling me forward, almost slipping right inside her. She is desperate for me.
"Please... I need you. I c-can't wait," she whimpers as if her body is aching for me.
"Oh yeah...?" I ask, as I spread her legs open for me. She breathes heavily in anticipation.
I look down to her, rubbing my shaft against her lips. She tightens around me.
Her eyes watch my face so intensely. She is trying to communicate with me on another level of consciousness and I can hear her clearly. I push the tip of my cock in. Her head whips back. I see golden drip down.
Is she bleeding?
"Are you okay, bunny?" I ask, trying not to freak her out.
"Yes. Please don't stop. Please. I want all of you. Please, please, please." Her voice is breaking. I am so fucking turned on.
I push more of myself in. She is still trying to hold back her sounds.
I need to be balls deep. I can't fucking take this. I need to be one with her.
I push her thighs open just a little more, shoving myself all the way in, pressing my chest against hers. Her hands wrap around my back. I just sit there for a bit, letting her adjust to me.
She is so warm... god fucking damn it. She is so tight and warm, I could bust right now, but I can't.
I hold her tightly underneath me in the mating press. I have never done this position before, but it is the only one that feels right.
After I feel her breathing calm down, I begin to pump my hips. I'm going very very slow. I want her to feel just how big I am. I want her insides to shape to my length and miss me when I'm gone; like a part of her is missing.
Her walls are clenching around me. I can feel her womb radiating heat as I press into it, almost completely entering.
Her arms are squeezing me as I hear her cries below me. I never want to stop hearing them. I want her to cry for me. I never want to see her cry tears of sadness ever again.
After 5 minutes of prepping and shaping her, I can finally begin to pound her. I can't help but be a little rough. She is desperate for me, and I can't help but lose control a little. She starts to scream for me.
Gods. Fuck!
"Such a pretty girl for me. Taking all of my cock. Keep screaming. Scream for me. Maybe I'll even pump you full of my cum, if you are good."
"Please. Please fill me! Please! I need it!"
I can feel my eyes filling with lust and power. A red glow shines off of her eyes. I'm losing my self control, but I don't care.
I can feel her getting tighter and tighter once again.
Not. Yet!
In a swift motion, I flip her on top of me. She lays flat, squeezing my chest, digging her soft nails into my back. I continue to pump into her. Her clit is now rubbing against my abdomen. She is really tightening up. She might just milk me dry. I can feel myself getting close.
"On the count of three, I want you to come for me. If you don't, you don't get my seed. Be a good girl for me," I say breathlessly, knowing fully that I couldn't hold it in any longer.
"Three." She is matching her hip movements to mine, pushing me even farthing to her womb.
"Two." Fuck! I can just smell her getting close. I flip her over back onto her back.
"One." Fuck fuck fuck fuck! She is milking me dry. She is screaming below me. Her eyes are rolled back and her legs are shaking.
I start to cum, soon realizing that it is too much for her size to handle. Her stomach begins to puff up from my amount of cum. I haven't blown a load like this since I first saw her. Her eyes tear up and she continues to cum on my cock.
I just hold her under me until she calms down. I can feel my seed ready to burst out of her when I take my cock out. I don't want it to come out.
I pull out slowly. I cover her cunt with my hand, trying to keep as much of my cum inside of her as I can.
She looks so beautiful right now. Her tummy is big and full of my seed. Her eyes are bloodshot and glowing. Her curls are wild and messy. She is so perfect.
And she is mine.
If only things could stay like this forever.
