“Yes master”
She sounded terrified, her face a mask of pure fear as she grovelled at his feet.
And yet the sound of those two words. “Yes master” were like music to his ears.
Hades could feel himself lengthening and thickening within the confines of his trousers .
By the twin moons she looked beautiful down there. How easy would it be to free himself and slip between those half parted lips?
“Stand up , what is your name little omega?”
She moved quickly to her feet. Used to taking orders .
The very thought of that disgusting old man giving her orders caused another low grow to rumble from his chest and she gave a terrified squeak as if he was angry at her and not her situation .
As if He could ever be angry at her.
As if she wasn’t his to serve and protect.
And He wanted to serve her … badly. He wanted to be the one down on his knees in front of her. wanted to worship her. But he knew he needed to make her trust him first.
The fear in her eyes just wouldn’t do.
“Blair master”
“Blair” He tried it out again knowing he had asked her already and not caring . Her name felt perfect on his lips. “I am going to run you a bath Blair , why don’t you go through there” He pointed to the open door way and she flicked her eyes up in alarm. “Why don’t you take off those dirty clothes and make yourself ready? I’ll send for clean clothes for you” Not that He wanted her in clothes at all. He wanted her naked and damp in his sleeping pod. But until she didn’t look at with abject terror he Would clothe her. He would dress her in the finest cloth he could get his hands on and it would still pale in comparison.
He needed her to want this coupling as much as He did. Hades would not tie an omega to him with the bond if they didn’t want it. He wasn’t looking for a slave.
“And food, I bet you are hungry” Hades smiled down at her as she moved to do his bidding. The perfect little slave. Obedient and quiet.
Except he didn’t want her as a slave he wanted her as a mate.
When He was finally done ordering what needed to ordered He made his way to the bathroom. It was one of his favourite rooms in the whole castle. The giant sunken tub carved out of copper.
And he knew she would like it. Or at least He hoped she would because he wanted to bathe her.
Stepping foot into the room Hades froze.
She had stripped herself of her simple dress but instead of getting into the tub that was rapidly filing with sweet smelling water. She was bent over. Her head hidden in her arms and she was sobbing . And her ass , naked and pale in the air just within his reach.
“Blair” He reached out to run a finger down her naked back, his breathing growing rapid at the sight of her open and naked to him and she stifled a scream.
His hand fell back to his side.
She was terrified , He could actually smell her fear over the sweetness between her legs. She was scared He was going to force himself on her and yet she had positioned herself for the taking anyway.
What kind of life had she led? What horrors had that man, her former master visited upon her body? How many time had he forced himself into her? Giving no pleasure to her in return. The thought made Hades pause.
He wanted her, but not like this. Not when she was scared and flinched away at his very touch
“Blair , look at me” It took every ounce of his will to keep his voice soft and his hands gentle as He lifted her to face him. “My eyes Blair so I know you understand”
Hers were red rimmed from crying. But finally she looked up and he was floored by how clear hers were. Even as frightened as she was. There was strength there and a spark of something else as well.
“I won’t ever force myself into your body” Hades smoothed a finger down her cheek. “When I … when you are ready then it will be a coming together” He groaned. Why wasn’t He better at this? “And I will make it so good, so good I will force your estrus” Instantly Hades knew He had said the wrong thing. She shrank back against the copper sinks.
“I can not, you can not . The other alphas” She was talking in a mumbled rush . Panic clear on her face.
“No other alphas will touch you Blair, no man will ever touch you again. I plan on claiming you” He ran the tips of his fingers over the spot where He would sink his teeth into her flesh when He marked her as his . And she shivered.
“Could I bathe you? Help you get settled…” Hades didn’t know why he was asking. Just that He wanted to touch her.
“And you won’t force me?”
“No Blair, I would never hurt you like that” He led her to the tub , marvelling at the way her eyes widened at the sight of it.
“Will I drown? Is it very deep?” She was clutching at his fingers as if He was a lifeline. The only thing keeping her safe and that was exactly what he wanted.
“You won’t drown Blair, I will be right here with you” To prove his point He stepped into the frothing water , fully clothed and settled himself on the edge and brought her naked body onto his . Holding her for a just a second on his lap. His chest vibrating with happiness and the need to sooth her pounding heart.
She started , eyes like saucers in her head.
“What was that?”
Hades chuckled. “ My purr?” He had purred for her without even thinking about it. Wanting to calm her anxiety. His body had made the calming sound on its own.
She really must be his mate. He had never wanted to purr for anyone else before.
“A purr?”
She really had no idea , He thought to himself as He settled her between his open thighs. Watching as her naked skin sank beneath the bubbles. She had no idea of the dynamics between Alphas and their Omegas. No idea how precious she was to his people .
“Yes, how does the water feel?” He had to ask something, anything to stop himself sliding into the water with her.
“Warm, the water is warm” she giggled and it lit up her face. “I usually only bathe after my master or in a stream and the water is never warm and it doesn’t smell this good”
He brushed his lips against her hair. “No more of that” Hades bit back the retort on the tip of his tongue . He would not scold her again for mentioning her former master. Not when things were going so well. When she was finally beginning to relax in his presence
“Can I bathe you now” Hades held his breath , slowly exhaling as she nodded her head . Her hair falling over her face. “Yes master”
By the moons , she had to stop calling him that. He wouldn’t be able to control himself if she carried on.
“Hades” He reached for a cloth, dipping it into the water by his knee. “You call me Hades”
