Honeymoon for One

HONEYMOON FOR ONE – FORTH DAY

 

Day Four: Morning

 

 

When I woke up this morning, I
had my arms wrapped around Ares with my head on his chesI moI momentarily forgot who he really was and
why he was here. I began to kiss him. Softly moaning and moving my leg over
his. He put his arms around me and
pulled my body on top of him.

 

"Good morning
sunshine!" he was smiling, but his eyes were still closed.

 

"Morning, Sexy!" I
responded, giving him another kiss. He
opened his eyes and then I remembered who he was. Something about his eyes sent shivers through me. I quickly jumped off of him. Then the smell hit me. This sweet perfumed smell. I turned around and couldn't believe my
eyes. There must have been a hundred
bouquets of flowers all around the room.
All different kinds, from lilies to lilacs, daisies, carnations,
perennials of all varieties, and every color of rose imaginable, all combined
with greenery and baby's breath. It was
absolutely breathtaking. I felt like I
was in the Garden of Eden.

 

"You know, they don't hold a
candle to you!" Ares said to me, his voice sounded sexy and needy.

 

"I, I don't know what to
say. Thank you, I guess!" I was
really confused by this act of kindness, if that's really what it was. Or was he just trying to trick me
again? I didn't know. I started for the bathroom when he called
out to me.

 

"Hey, no thank you
kiss?" I looked back at him. He
had that pouty lip sticking out. Damn it, why does he have to look so
good. I still wanted him, even though I
hated him. I was finding it hard to
separate my mind from my body at the moment. I wanted to go to him, to make
love with him.

 

I stood there for a while,
struggling with myself. Then he got
up. He was bare-ass naked and I melted
when I saw him. He walked over to me,
and took my chin in his hand. He gently
placed a tender kiss on my lips. His
hands were moving through my hair and then caressed my back. He picked me up and carried me back over to
the bed.

 

"Wait here a second!"
he said, sounding like a kid.

 

Then he went over to one of the
large bundles of roses and crushed the buds between his massive hands. He returned to the bed, standing over me,
holding his arms above my head. He
opened his hands and let all of the soft rose pedals float down all over
me. You shit head. Why do you have to act like this? He sat on the edge of the bed and picked a
rose pedal from my hair. Then he
stroked my head and looked fondly at me, smiling. My mind didn't want to fall for his silly act, but my heart was
so vulnerable and wanted to believe him.
I gave in.

 

He lowered his head to kiss meain,ain, and as he did, I slipped my arms around his neck and pulled him close to
me. He moved to lie next to me, letting
one hand roam over my body and the other hand held my face. I sighed at his touch. He was being so delicate, lightly running
his fingers over my tee shirt. Over the form of my breasts. He was barley pressing his lips to
mine. Softly running his tongue around
their shape. When his hand found my nipple,
he squeezed it causing my back to arch up towards him. He moaned my name into my mouth before
completely covering it with his own.
His tongue desperately searching for mine. He grabbed my head with both hands now, passionately kissing
me. Moving across my cheek to my ear,
and hovering there, taking my lobe between his lips and then glided under my
chin to the other ear, doing the same before returning to my mouth again.

 

I could feel the anticipation
building up within me, wanting to feel his naked body pressed against
mine. He reached down and slipped a
hand underneath my cotton sleep shirt and pushed it behind my back till it
reached the base of my neck, causing my shirt to expose one of my full, lovely
breasts. His mouth enclosed over the tip,
swirling his tongue round and round it and then sucking it ever so
slightly. He withdrew his head and
lightly blew on it, giving me the most pleasurable sensation. He removed my shirt, by pulling it over my
head. As I lifted my arms for him to be
able to slide it off, I let them rest behind my head and silently gazed at
him. With my arms in this position, it
caused my breasts to stick out more.
Looking at them in awe, he spoke words of admiration to me. He cupped them, one in each hand, massaging
them.

 

He found the string on my sweat
pants and slowly pulled one end, untying it the knot. He slipped his hand past the waistband to my nether lips. As soon as his finger found my sensitive
nub, I gasped, already wet from wanting him so much. He claimed my mouth with hiain,ain, but more intensely now. I could feel his hunger for me, hitting in
waves as his tongue probed in and out of my mouth. I was losing it again. I
grabbed his tongue with my teeth and sucked it in as far as it would go, gently
gnawing at it as I did. He was flicking
my clit with perfect rhythm; my hip began to move in little circles. I moaned as my body jerked, each time
bringing me closer and closer to release.


 

He kneeled between my legs, and
promptly removed my sweats, sliding them down my legs. He followed behind them with tongued, wet
busses. Down along the outside of one,
then moving up the inside of the other.
My legs parted wider with each kiss he placed closer to my wet mound
until he finally reached his destination.
I cried out in relief, my hand buried in his thick, dark hair, as he
tickled my sensitive spot. I could feel
a rush of heat flooding to my crotch.
He put a hand under each butt check and lifted me up into his bearded
face. I can hear his voice, but was too
far gone to make out the words he spoke.

 

"Mmmm, so sweet! Yes!"

 

His tongue moved more rapidly now
and his finger found the entry to my warm hole. Slipping one inside, he crocked his finger upward, finding a wild
spot, which was unknown to me before then.
I was wriggling and writhing so uncontrollably now that he hand to
steady my hips with both hands, never removing his face from my nest. Once he
had semi-restrained me, I felt one hand sliding up my body to my breast to play
with the nipple. I wailed loudly and
cried out his name, his real name.

 

"Ooohh, ARES!"

 

Hearing me call his name drove
him into an ardent frenzy. He sucked
wildly on my clit, and took it between his teeth as he quickly flicked his
tongue across it, bringing on a torrent of rushing juices. I shook in delectation, pulling his hair
unciouciously. When I finally quieted
down some, he moved his body over mine, kissing me with thirsty concupiscence.

 

Again, building my desire for him
almost immediately. I could feel his
hardness pressing against me. I wanted
him so badly, to fill me completely with his strong and masculine
presence. He was grinding deeply
against me. I could feel his body
tense, trying not to overpower me like I assumed he wanted to. Why is he being
so considerate of me? I wondered. Just
when I thought he couldn't take it any longer, he greatly surprised me.

 

"I want to make love to you
Donna. Please, may I?"

 

What? He's asking my
permission? What is gotten into this
guy? He made a complete 180 overnight. I felt like I regained some control over my
life just then. He gave me some of my
dignity back. And I still wanted him,
now more that ever. I didn't answer
but but rather wrapped my legs around his firm waist and pulled him
closer. He understood and grabbing the
base of his shaft, he slowly guided it in to my slick pussy. He moaned seductively, the sound of his
voice driving me wild with passion. I
reached for his chest, finding a nipple through the bushels of hair grown
there. My hands never stopped moving
over his muscular build, as he slowly rocked back and fourth, making little
grunting sounds. I impatiently moved my hips to meet his thrusts, bringing us
together with a slam. My body was
blistering with overwhelming emotion, every nerve tingling with pleasure. He was pumping me faster and faster now; I
knew he was close to release. I wanted
to send him over the edge; I wanted to bring him to an exhilarating gratification.

 

I grabbed his hair and pulled his
mouth to mine, kissing him fervidly.
"Oh please, deeper! Fill me
entirely!" I whispered in his ear.
He could no longer hold back.
Pounding me furiously now, his thumb found my clit. He was rubbing it so fast; I may have
thought it was a vibrator, if I didn't know any better. I felt my pussy convulse around his enormous
cock, drawing him further inside. I was
cuming - hard now. Screaming in
ecstasy, I clutched his arms and dug my fingernails into his skin. I saw his eyes close, and his face became
tense, drawing his brows together.
Drops of sweat were running down the sides of his face as he breathed
heavily and grunted loudly. Then his
eyes flew open and got wider and his mouth tightly made an "O"
shape. He spoke to me in broken words.

 

"Oh Donna . . . I think . .
. I'm. . .gonna. . . Oh yes,
YES!" and he shot his god
seed deep with in, making my entire body become warm. I had another orgasm just by watching him have his; it had made
me so hot. He collapsed on top of me,
full weight, and out of breath. I
gently touch his face, wiping away the sweat from his forehead before it got in
his eyes. He moved off me to the side,
but left an arm and a leg covering me still.
He kissed my cheek, and began to caress me with the hand that was draped
over me.

 

"That was awesome, thank you
Donna!" I didn't respond, but I reached for a lock of his hair and twirled
it between my fingers playfully.
"I hope it was the same for you."

 

"You're one hell of a lover,
Mr. God of War" I blushed as I spoke.
My words bring a huge smile to his face. He kissed me again, almost lovingly. So gently it made my heart flutter, like War had done. He wrapped his arms around me and squeezed
me to him, pushing my head to his chest.


 

"I'm just glad you don't
think I'm a heartless monster anymore.
You don't still think that, do you?"

 

"No," I said
shyly. Truth was, I didn't know what to
think about him any more. He was so
confusing. Either black or white, bouncing
back and fourth between good and evil. It exhausted me to even try to figure
him out. I thought it best not
too. I had enough to figure out about
myself now, feeling like I was just as hot and cold acting as he was. I stayed lying in his arms for a long
while. Enjoying their strength and
warmth as they surround me.

 

******************

 

Ares was feeling rather good about himself. He managed to woo Donna, once again, with his charms, or
whatever. It didn't really matter what
it was about him that affected her so, just as long as she was affected. With everything he needed to do, he certainly
did not need to be distracted by having to chase her all around town.

 

Yes, Mr. God of War was feeling rather good right now, confident that
she would not cause him any further trouble.
He was sure she would not leave him now. Why would she? She just
made tender love to him. He could feel
the outpouring of her heart, an onset of emotions surging into him from
her. He knew he had her wrapped around
his little finger (or his big cock, whichever she preferred!)

 

He did hesitate in his decision to leave her alone today, but it
couldn't be he. H. He had to take care
of business. Building an empire takes a
lot of work, you know. And since he had
her heart again, he figured there was nothing much to worry about.

 

Or so he thought . . .

Day Four: Mid-Morning

 

 

I was standing next to the
dresser, admiring the beauty of one of the many bouquets, which were abundantly
placed in every area of the room, when Ares came out of the bathroom. He was rubbing a towel over his hair and then
shook his head a couple of times. He
had been in the shower for the last 20 minutes, leaving me ample time to
escape. But I didn't try, although the
thought did cross my mind. For some
reason I didn't fear him as much as I did yesterday. He was so different then, but now he seemed more like the man I
had met. He seemed more like War to
me. But still, I wasn't going to let my
guard down - and I didn't trust him. I
tried not to spend too much time thinking about it. I knew he could read my thoughts. So I wanted to lead him to believe that I was still happy to be
with him. He made a surprising
announcement to me.

 

"Hey sweetie, do you think
you can find something to keep yourself busy today? I have some important business to tend to today. I would take you along, but it's not the
kind of place for a pretty lady like you to be."

 

I looked puzzled. Where in the hell could he possibly have to
go that sounded so awful? I actually
felt a tinge of concern for him. He
walked to me and wrapped his arms around me.

 

"Now, now, Don, it's nothing
for you to worry about."

 

"Really? Promise?" I looked at him with innocent eyes as I
slipped my arms around his neck.

 

"Really, I promise."

 

I smiled and gave him a sweet
kiss. "Ok, then. But what will I do today without my personal
guide?" I was playing this one
good.

 

"Why don't you go see some
of the ruins in Athens?"

 

"Athens? It's over two hours
away. By the time I got there, I'd only
have an hour or so to spend before having to come back." I was searching for an excuse to stay in
town, so I could head over to see Professor Nijjan.

 

"Don't be silly. I can drop you off there in a flash -
literally" He quickly disappeared in a blue and white flash of light,
right before my eyes and reappeared behind me.
"See?"

 

I screamed while jumping a couple
feet off the floor, turning around at the same time.

 

"Oh my God, you scared me
half to death." He laughed
amusingly at me. "You can do that
- with me?" He nodded. My eyes lit up as numerous possibilities
crossed my mind. "Ha, ha! I'll
never be late for work again!" I
gleefully said as I danced in a circle.


 

"You are so easy to please,
good!" he stuck out his arm, bent at the elbow, indicating that I should
take it.

 

"Wait, wait, I'm not quite
ready yet." I ran to the closet
and pulled out a pair of jeans and got my sneakers from the floor. This traveling thing had me so excited that
I had forgotten that I wanted to go see the professor. "Give me five minutes, and then we can
go." I ran into the bathroom to
change and comb my hair.

 

A moment later, I emerged. Ready for some serious trekking. Ares bright smile faded when he looked at
me.

 

"What's wrong?" I
asked.

 

"Your not going out in those
pants, are you?"

 

I had on my tightest pair of
jeans, the ones that made me look good by restraining all the excess flab. I turned around to look in the mirror on the
dresser, but really it was to show him my butt.

 

"What's wrong with my
pants?" Pretending not to know why
he was objecting.

 

"Oh, my!" he walked
over to me and slapped his hand to my ass, squeezing it. "Oh, my!" he repeated.

 

The next thing I felt was his
groin grinding against it. His hands
had come around from the back of me and were fondling my breasts now. He was kissing my neck. "Oh Donna, I can't let you go out
looking so luscious! You had better
take these cloths off. Here, I'll help
you."

 

He snapped his finger and left me
naked. I was watching us in the mirror
that was over the dresser. His hands
running down the sides of my body, a look of ecstasy on his face, his eyes
closed as he swept kisses all around the sides and back of my neck. He reached a hand down between my legs,
finding it alt already. I started
grinding my ass back into his groin, murmuring pleasurable sounds. He gently pushed me forward until my elbows
were resting on the dresser in front of me, and used a foot to push my feet
further apart. Then he slid his hard
cock in. I squealed with joy as he
began to pump, one hand on my hip and the other lightly pulling my hair. Our eyes meet through the reflection in the
mirror. He reached down and started
fingering me. Within minutes I was
crying out in bliss. He didn't take his
eyes from my face as I came and as soon as I was done he did the same, only
pulling out and releasing his warm cream all over my ass. It was so hot to watch him. I had to support him for a minute while he
recuperated.

 

He pulled me back to standing and
turned me around, laying a huge sensual kiss on me and hugging me kindly.

 

"I just can't seem to get
enough of you!" he whispered to me. "And as much as I would like to
stay here and make love all day, I have to go."

 

He snapped his fingers again and
he was dressed in his black leather, and I was dressed in an ankle-length
moo-moo type dress. It had long sleeves
and a turtle neck type collar. He took
a step back to view me, and was trying not to snicker thru his cute smirk.

 

I held my arms out straight from
my sides. "What is this?" He was cracking up now.

 

"ARES!!, come on
now."

 

"Oh... ok" he snapped
his fingers again, giving back my own clothes.

 

"Thank you!" and I
kissed his cheek.

 

"You ready now?"
holding his arm out for me to take once more.

 

"This won't make me airsick
or dizzy, right?"

 

"You won't feel a thing, I
promise."

 

"Ok then" I grabbed his
arm and we disappeared.

 

Within a blink of an eye we were
standing in front of a spectacular ruin sight.
There were already many tourists scurrying around, people laughing, a
baby crying. A number of refreshment
stands and souvenir shops surrounding the area. I thought it was odd that no one noticed that we had just
'popped' in instantly. Ares told me to
meet him back here at this spot at four o'clock. When he got back, he wanted to take me to dinner while we were
here, so I was instructed not to spoil my appetite on a bunch of 'junk food' too close to dinner time. I agreed and he disappeared after giving me
a kiss.

 

Alone, finally! Now maybe I can figure out what I'm going to
do. As much as I had enjoyed Ares this
morning, I knew that there was no way I could live my life under his
control. Fearing him, worrying all the
time if my actions would anger him, ultimately leading to my demise. No, I didn't see this relationship lasting
too long, if I didn't get out now, he would surly come to eliminate me one
day.

 

Realizing now that I had no
transportation, I looked around and found a pay phone. I called information and asked for the
university museum's number and dialed it.
A ladies voice answered at the other end.

 

"Is Professor Nijjan there
please? It's very important that I
speak with him right away."

 

"Who's calling please?"

 

"My name is Donna
Clark. I met the professor yesterday at
the museum. Please, can you bring him
to the phone? It's of an urgent matter."

 

"I'm sorry Ms. Clark, but
Professor Nijjan is in Athens today. He
is on a field trip with one of his classes.
They are visiting the great ruins."

 

The great ruins? That's where I am.

 

"Would you like to leave a
message, Ms. Clark?"

 

"No, wel well please tell
him I phoned. He can reach me at the
Plaza Hotel. I'm in the honeymoon
suite. And it's urgent. Thank
you." I hung up the phone.

 

Professor Nijjan was here! I went to search for him. I finally found him about an hour and a
half later. He was in one of the ruin's
chambers with his class. The chamber
was restricted to the public, but the teacher and his group had been allowed
in, for scientific purposes.

 

There was a guard posted outside
the door, which had some wide yellow tape across it, indicating 'No
Entry'. I smiled at the guard and
casually strolled by him to duck under the tape. He grabbed my arm and said something to me in Greek. I tried to pretend that I was part of the
class, but the students all wore special badges and I did not have. I. I started begging to no avail. Frustrated, I began to bicker with him and
he in return, neither of us understanding what the other was saying. We were getting louder and louder, causing a
scene. Then Professor Nijjan stuck his
head out of the room.

 

"What's going on out
here? I'm trying to conduct a
class."

 

"Oh, Professor. I'm so glad to see you."

 

"Ms Clark? What are you doing here?"

 

"Well I called the
university and they said you would be here.
I came looking for you. I have
some ut net news. Is there someplace
private that we can talk?"

 

"Just a minute, I'll be
right back." I heard him telling his class to take five and then he
returned. "Now what is so urgent?"

 

"Professor, it's Ares. He's back.
The story is true." He
shushed me and indicated that we shouake ake a walk.

 

We started down a long corridor,
which seemed well preserved, considering these were the "ruins". There were all kinds of ornate etchings and
Greek lettering. I had asked the
professor what did it read.

 

"It says, 'This temple has
been built in honor and thanks to the Gods above, who have shown us guidance,
protection and the many riches of the land.'" he answered.

 

We came upon another restricted
chamber with a guard. He let the
professor pass right by, but had put out his arm to stop me.

 

The teach said something to him
in Greek and he raised his arm allowing me access.

 

"Boy! What's with all the
tight security around here?"

 

"Well there are still many
scrolls and other relics in these ruins which have yet to be excavated. Now tell me, what is all of this about
Ares?"

 

"Professor, the prophets
prediction is true. It has already come
to pass. I guess I was the one who woke
him out of his eternal sleep."

 

"What makes you think this,
Ms. Clark?"

 

"Please, call me Donna. Because those events which were foretold
have happened. They are happening to
me. As a matter of fact, Ares brought
me here today himself. And we didn't
drive."

 

The professor didn't say anything
in response.

 

"You believe me, I know you
do. Otherwise you would be looking at
me as if I had fell off my rocker.
Besides - you saw him yourself when he came for me at the museum
yesterday. I saw the way you looked at
him - you were stunned!"

 

"I have to admit, he did
look a lot like the "Chariot of the War God" painting in the south
wing."

 

"That's what I thought
too. And I was in one of his temple
offering areas the first day I arrived in Greece. I saw him watching me from a distance. I didn't know it was a temple then. He told me later on that day.
But he himself has told me he was Ares.
Oh professor, what am I going to do?
He frightens me."

 

"Has he hurt you
Donna?"

 

"Well...he slapped me kind
of hard when we returned from the museum.
And sort of forced himself on me too."

 

"He raped you?"

 

"Kind of, at first it was
like that. But then my body couldn't
resist him. I didn't want to - I kept
tng mng myself that it was wrong, but it didn't matter. I couldn't help myself."

 

"The lusting spell. Come on Donna, let's sit down. You must tell me everything from the very
beginning."

 

We sat down on some wooden crates
and I told him everything up to this point.

 

"Professor, maybe it has
been written that we are destined to be together or something. But I wasn't really planning on giving up my
career, my home, and my life for some over-zealous, power hungry God. Besides, he's got a mean streak to
boot. I'm afraid he'll kill me one
day. Is there any thing we can do to
stop him?" Tears were beginning to
form in my eyes now.

 

The professor put a hand on my
shoulder, lightly patting it, to comfort me.
Then he thought of something.

 

"How long did you say you
have been here Donna?"

 

"Today is the fourth day.
Why?"

 

"Remember the text we went
to look up in the war wing? It
specifically said it takes seven days for his full restoration."

 

"I don't know Professor
Nijjan, he seems pretty restored to me.
He's got powers and everything."

 

"Well it might be a long
shot, but it's worth looking in to.
I've got to get bto tto the museum right away."

 

"What about your
class?"

 

"Oh my assistant can handle
things just fine. Besides, we don't
have much time if I'm correct. I'll be
in touch with you as soon as I find something out. Where are you staying?"

 

"At the Plaza Hotel on the
Lake. But don't call me, you had better
leave a message at the desk, he can read my thoughts too. He would be way too curious if I got a phone
call. He's an extremely jealous man. And he doesn't like you very much
either."

 

"Oh my! How were you ever able to get him to leave
you here?"

 

"I tricked him into making
him think that I was ok with all of . . . this. Besides he didn't know you were going to be here today. Neither did I, until I called you after he
left me here"

 

"Well, you had better be
careful. Very careful! If he finds out you are trying to stop him,
there is no telling what he might do to you."

 

I looked away from the professor,
my eyes to the ground and had a worried expression on my face. "I know professor. Believe me - I know."

 

*****************

 

Although Ares felt completely restored, and many of his powers had
returned, he was unaware of the seven-day ritual. He had figured that his restoration came from Donna emotions,
from her life's soul. By invoking in
her every kind of feeling for him - it would make him whole, and her weak. Unfortunately, that had always been one of
Ares biggest downfalls. He assumed too
much.

 

He had never bothered to actually read the many scrolls of text that
foretold of his return. As far as he
was concerned, he already knew it all.
He was a God, after all. During
that particular time in his earthy reign, he couldn't be bother with the
ramblings of mere mortals, however flattering they may be.

 

 

***********************

 

Day Four: Early Evening

 

 

Ares was right on time. I was waiting where he told me to be and
acted happy to see him, showering him with affectionate kisses. Thank goodness I had found the professor
early enough in the day to be able to purge our conversation from my mind. I couldn't let Ares find out the truth.

 

"Did you have a good time
today? Find out anything interesting
about me?"

 

"Huh? What do you mean?" my heart was
pounding in my throat.

 

"Well, this is an old temple
dedicated to my siblings and me. Did
you learn anything about us?"

 

"Not really, I don't read
Greek, especially ancient Greek. But I
did get a really neat book and some flyers!" I held them out for him, hoping to distract him from my thoughts. He took the book and flipped through it.

 

"Ha, that doesn't look a
thing like Apollo! He was never that
good looking!" He laughed.

 

Whew! That was close. "So
where are you taking me for dinner?"

 

"Oh, it's a surprise. But I'm sure you will like it. Ready?" He put his arm out with the bent elbow aga
&
 

"I thought you said we were
going to eat in town here?"

 

"I came up with a better
idea. Trust me, Donna, ok?"

 

I took his arm and we
disappeared. A moment later we arrived
at one of the most beautiful places I had ever been in my entire life. Even more stunning than any picture I had
seen. . . or even dreamed.

 

We were in a beautiful outdoor
patio filled with greenery and flowers.
The patio resembled the offering temple by the lake; round in shape with
carved pillars, ivy crawling around each one.
But there was no rooftop, only stars, and they seem so much closer than
normal. The moon was so bright that we
didn't need any artificial light, although there were two candles burning on
the elegantly set table. Just beyond
the wreath of shrubbery around us, you couldn't see much. It seemed foggy. . or cloudy. But what was stood out to me the most was
how fresh it was. The air was crisp and clean.
Light. Not too long after we
arrived, I had to sit down. I was
rather unbalanced. Not dizzy, just out
of balance.

 

"So what do you think of my
choice?"

 

Ares walked into the center of
the circle, casually waiving his arms as to show it off. His use of visual aid stole my eyes away
from the apparent beauty surrounding.
Captivating them to no avail. I
realized how utterly breathtaking he was.
Total perfection. If I had any
previous doubt about him being a true God, I certainly didn't any longer.

 

His face, gorgeous; with a well
defined jaw and eyes that were a hypnotic deep brown His full sensuous lips were beautifully framed with a sexy,
neatly trimmed beard that matched the color of his curly brownish-black
hair. He had muscular arms and a broad
chest covered with soft, thick dark hair.
With long, strong legs, he stood tall, with his chest pushed out and his
head held high. He was luminous,
glowing from the moonlight that was caught in his shiny hair.

 

"Well?"

 

"Awesome!" I whispered,
my compliment intended for him rather than the atmosphere. "Where are we?"

 

"No place you've ever been
before, I can guarantee you that. Come here,
let me show you something."

 

I moved to join him and he took
my hand leading me to the end of the circle and magically cleared a small
walkway through the brush. We stopped
at the outermost edge and he took in a big breath of air. He blew it out over the fog, as someone
would who was blowing out birthday candles on a cake. That's when I almost completely lost my balance. We were somewhere high up in the clouds. I could see patches of lights from the
cities below, and I could see the outline of the earth, caused from the sun's
glow, which was hiding on the opposite side.


 

"Oh my God!"

 

"Yes!" he answered
jokingly.

 

"We're . . .in. . .the. .
.clouds!"

 

"I know! I created this especially for you
Donna. I wanted to take you someplace
special. Somewhere unlike anyplace on
earth. A place you will never forget
for the rest of your days. Did I
succeed?"

 

"No doubt, Ares. No doubt."

 

He took me back to the safety of
the circle and pulled out my chair for me as we sat down for dinner. Snapping his fingers, a slew of servants
tended to our every wish. Every five or
ten minutes a shooting star would pass so close to us, you could almost reach
out and catch it.

 

Ares looked pleased with
himself. Holding up his glass for a
toast with one hand, he put his other hand in mind, smiling softly.

 

"To our future
together. May I always make you as
happy and content as you are feel right now!" We touched glasses and drank.

 

"I can too! I can make you this happy and more! Beyond your wildest dreams Donna. Do you want that? Please tell me you do.
Tell me that you want only me."


 

He had set down his glass and was
now holding my one hand with both of his, looking seriously into my eyes. I was
overwhelmed by his sincerity. He had me
hook, line and sinker.

 

"I know you can tell how I
feel about you Ares, but tell me how a simple girl like me is going to keep
your interest for very long? You'll get
board and tire of me, and find another.
And then what will I do? There
can never be another man that I could settle for after being with you,
Ares. You're a God!"

 

"Donna, I have a newsflash
for you. It's too late! You are already with me! And I want to keep it like that. Why do you think I've gone through all this
trouble to impress you? I care about
you and I want you to know that I'm serious about you."

 

I had to look away from him. I was falling too hard, too fast. And I had to keep my head on straight.

 

"I know you love me
Donna. I can see it in your face. I feel it in your touch. I hear it in your voice." He stood and pulled me into his arms,
running his hands through my hair and capturing my eyes again. He kissed me with such emotion; I almost
went limp in his arms. He had to hold me up. "Tell me you don't feel
it. Tell me you don't love me Donna,"
he challenged.

 

"Oh Ares! Damn you!
Yes, I love you!" We kissed
again. Then he led me by the hand back
to the edge of the circle where we had been looking out over earlier. But this time he didn't stop; he kept
walking on to the clouds. I stopped
abruptly at the edge, fearful of falling.

 

"Don't worry, you won't
fall. I'm protecting you!"

 

I reluctantly took a step. After I was sure I would not plummet to the
earth, I let him lead me further into the white fog. He lay me down and began
kissing me. It was so amazing to have
nothing under me, supporting me. Ares
and I made passionate love floating on a bed of clouds. We cried out to each other in ecstasy so
loud, our voices thundered through the heavens. I bet the entire world could hear our rumblings! It was truly the most exhilarating
experience I ever had known. I knew I
would not ever be the same again.

 

When we were done, we laid naked,
side-by-side in the clouds. We were
both flat on our stomachs with our chins resting in our hands, arms bent at the
elbows. We relaxed quietly and watched
the world go by. Every so often, Ares
would reach for me and caress my back or face.


 

"Happy?" he quietly
asked.

 

I smiled and nodded, contently.
"Yes, my love! Very much!"

 

We stayed there all night, making
love over and over again, until the sun came around the other side of the
planet. Wow!! Another absolutely breathtaking and awesome sight. Ares had given me a unique gift, for I knew
that no other human on earth right now had ever come so close to catching a
falling star, or witnessed a sunrise like I just had.

 

I felt very special, very
lucky. What had I been thinking
earlier? Trying to change his destiny,
our destiny. What a fool I was! I turned on my side and took in the most
wondrous of all the sights I had seen tonight - The God of War. I could never find enough words that could
fully justify his perfection.

 

***************

 

The God of War was at ease for the moment. He had been picking up on some unsettling thoughts about how she
truly felt about him earlier that morning, but felt no indication of those
feelings now. He knew his little outing
in the clouds would blow her away. Who
wouldn't be? Even he felt the greatness
that universe possessed. It was more
powerful than he was, but posed no threat to him. He found himself getting as caught up in the moment as Donna
was. Making for a memorable time
together.

 

But even though he felt that he gotten through to Donna, he still
wanted to keep her close by. Maybe it
was just his suspicious nature. Maybe
it was something else. Or someone else.

 

**************

 

 

There was a
message waiting for Donna at the front desk.
The caller had been insistent that she not be notified about the
message. He conveyed very clearly that,
when she was ready, she would pick up the message herself.
