Chereads / Ignited Desires / Chapter 6 - Athena

Chapter 6 - Athena

I get myself caught in his grey eyes. He's trailing his heated gaze all over me - memorising every detail of me. His sharp jaw is clenched and he seems to be pleased with what he sees.

My cheeks start to heat up as his stare makes me feel hot. His eyes are so alluring and his eye contact is so deep it makes me want to look away. I have to strain my head to look up at him. He's so tall - he has to be at least 6'3.

He's so pretty. His black hair styled neatly and his face is so perfectly symmetrical. He's come straight from the Gods.

His black shirt is tight against his very fit figure. I can almost see the abs as they struggle to burst out against his fitted shirt. He's hot. His hands and big and veins run up his arms. I can also see tattoos peaking out of his shirt.

And he smells so good. He smells like cologne and rain with a hint of spearmint.

I'm knocked out of my reverie by Kyra who's introducing me to her brother. I didn't even see her brother as I was too occupied by this mysterious guy in front of me.

"Athena, this is Adrian, my brother. And this is Hades."

Even his name is sexy. Hades.

"Pleasure to meet you darling." Hades says in a deep husky voice.

"Hi." Is all I can say and I want to slap myself in the face. He smirks in reply knowing that he makes me nervous.

I say hi to Adrian and Ky drags me across the room away from the hot man.

"So," she's says smirking knowingly.

"So." I reply hoping she doesn't say anything.

"You two would look good together." She says making my face heat up.

"No— uh who—what?" I mentally facepalm myself.

"Shut up Thena you know who I'm talking about. I'm just saying he looked like he was in love with you."

"No he did not."

"Yes he was smitten by you and so you were so drooling over him. I mean you were a blushing mess babes."

"No I wasn't, I was normal right?"

"Right. But I'm happy for you and I would be happy to set you two up although I don't need to since he's coming over here right now. Bye Thena, Good luck!"

"What no Ky—"

"Hey princess," came a deep voice from behind me. Oh shit Hades. Fuck my life. What do I even say?

"H- hi." I say. Again.

He chuckles. He freaking chuckles. I want to jump inside a hole and never come out. His laugh is sexy though. Where are these thoughts even coming from? I just want to jump him. Someone stop me.

"You look beautiful Athena." Oh fuck he said my name and it sounds so hot - the way it rolls off his tongue. I'm down bad.

"Thanks." I say and my face is burning from the heat now.

"You're hot." I blurted. Shit shit shit. What the fuck. No way I just said that. Fuck why can't I shut my mouth.

He smirks, "Thank you princess." I'm blushing like mad right now.

"What drink can I get you?"

"Can you get me something strong please?" I kind of want to get really wasted today so I need to start off strong.

"Coming Right up love." Hades brings me this cherry flavoured drink which certainly has a kick. I can feel it burn as I chug it down.

We sit down and just start talking while I down the drinks and I'm pretty sure I'm drunk now. Well I found out he's 20. That's hot.

"Woah, slow down sweetheart. You don't want to be sick."

"I'm fine don't worry Hades."

Woah his eyes just went darker and I swear they're changing colour as well. I think I'm a bit too drunk for this.

"I love the way you say my name." He whispers into my ear and his voice has just gone down a tone and it's more rougher.

I feel my panties get wet with my arousal at the sound of his voice. He then looks up for a second his eyes are red. What? Then they're normal. Oh well I'm probably seeing things.

"I'm going to dance." I say to him and run off before I can hear his reply.

I find kyra already dancing so I join her and we move to the music together.

As I'm dancing, I feel his heated gaze burning me as he trails his eyes up and down me. I lock eyes with him and he's staring at me with amusement and desire swirling in his eyes. He puts his drink down and starts walking towards me.
