Apollo had been training Alessia for several weeks now, and Zagreus found himself constantly watching her from a distance. He couldn't help but feel a sense of pride as he observed her growth in strength and technique. But despite his satisfaction with her progress, Zagreus couldn't shake the unease that had settled deep in his gut.
He knew that his attraction to Alessia was only growing stronger and that he needed to be careful not to cross any boundaries that would harm their relationship. But his heart raced every time he saw her, and his palms grew sweaty. He found himself reaching out to touch her, to feel the warmth of her skin against his.
As Alessia finished her latest training session with Apollo, Zagreus approached her tentatively. "How did it go?" he asked, trying to keep his voice steady.
Alessia smiled at him, her eyes sparkling with excitement. "It was great! Apollo is an amazing teacher. I feel like I'm becoming stronger!" She flexes her muscles.
