nothing from her. “I would let you.”
    Something about her calm answer stung. “But you wouldn’t kiss me back? You simply wouldn’t object.”
    “I would do what you wanted and give you what you needed.”
    He felt an aching in his temples that reminded him of fights with Aphrodite. Yet this was not a fight. He touched the hand on his cheek. “So you’d let me use you? I don’t like that, Alala. You’re a goddess. I could never and would never command you. Or take advantage of you in that way.”
    “You wouldn’t be using me. You’d be turning to me.” She took her hand away. “I’m not insulted you don’t want me.”
    He thought hard. What was she talking about? “I just asked you if you’d let me kiss you. How did you translate that into me not wanting you?”
    “You were testing me.”
    He sighed. “I’m not testing you. I’m trying to figure you out. Five minutes ago you were my sweet, innocent girl, and now you’re the most puzzling woman I’ve ever known. I said I wanted to kiss you, and you acted completely indifferent.”
    She blushed. “That’s how you thought of me? Your sweet, innocent girl?”
    She seemed to like that idea, and he had never seen her blush before over anything, so he decided to pursue the topic. “Yes. I never thought about it much before, but yes. Thinking of you always calms me. Like you said.”
    “I can be anything you need.”
    The candid surrender in her eyes aroused him in a way he’d never experienced before. He imagined taking her to his bed. He knew she’d be sweetly submissive. She would yield to his every whim. He could almost hear her quiet sighs and moans.
    When he realized they were staring into each other’s eyes, he suddenly felt like a dirty old man. He jumped off the table and darted from the room.
    “I’m going to bed. I don’t need anything else tonight.”
    Any other woman would have called after him, even if only to say one last thing. She let him run away from her without a word. And that’s what he suddenly felt he was doing. Running away.

    Alala smiled when she saw Eris in the garden. She hadn’t expected to see her for a long time, as Eris had only recently moved in with Hermes. They weren’t married, but they certainly acted like they were already on their honeymoon.
    Eris smiled when Alala sat down. “You look like you have news.”
    “Perhaps I do. I’m not sure if it’s good or bad though. Or even news at all.”
    Eris had guessed long ago how much Alala loved Ares, but she had always respected Alala’s feelings and didn’t push the subject. Alala liked having her to talk to because she felt like no one else would understand.
    “I’ve heard Aphrodite finally told the big secret. We all knew it was probably Ares, but the confirmation was nice. How did he react?”
    Alala sighed. “He was very frustrated. I gave him a massage, and he asked me why I didn’t like Aphrodite. I think our conversation disconcerted him.”
    “What did you tell him?”
    “Not what I planned to. I didn’t tell him how I feel, not really, though I hinted at it.”
    “That’s something you have to work on. I don’t understand why you can’t tell him you love him as candidly as you’ve told me.”
    Alala didn’t say anything.
    “Why are you so afraid of being hurt?”
    “I don’t know.”
    “Deep down, you do.”
    Alala hesitated. She’d always been honest with Eris, but she had kept one secret from her. She wasn’t a virgin. She’d had an affair with another god, and as far as she could tell no one knew about it. Zeus and Hera might, but they had never done anything to indicate they did. She’d spent decades trying to love him and make him love her. Then she’d found him with Aphrodite in the arbor where they always met. The lust-filled scene had stayed with her. She could still see him fucking Aphrodite from behind, the love goddess moaning as she came. She could still see him telling her that her pussy was the sweetest
