Confessions of the Heart!!…

*I have died every day waiting for you!!...*

**Proserpina's POV**
"Ssshh, Kora, do not stir and do not fret." A whispered voice penetrated my mind, and I jolted up from my nightmare like a frightened fawn running through the sinking forest.
I opened my eyes to find myself at the lake's edge with Hades beside me.
"Hades!" I muttered, looking around. A small gasp exited my lips as I took in the view of the endless destruction around me. The trees and rocks were uprooted from the forest bed as if a destructive tornado had gripped them. The condition of the lake was no better. It seemed as if an invisible force had torn all the roots of the mosses and the weeds and charred them to ashes. Even the lake's edges crumbled upon itself and fell into the waters as if an earthquake had shaken its core. It seemed like a mighty God slammed his fist into the soil and dragged it across the floor, destroying everything.
"I...I did this!?" I asked, looking at the wreckage.
"I told you, Kora, it will be better if you breathe." Hades retorted, cupping my cheeks so that I faced him. He was trying too hard to keep his features soft and smooth. But his eyes gave away. I could see three emotions dominating;
Shock, pity and hurt!!
"I can't believe it...no...no...this isn't right...I cannot...how can I be responsible for this...I...I can't..." I felt myself breaking and crumbling.
"Don't worry; you'll soon learn to deal with it." His eyes flashed up when he spoke, but his motions were calm.
"I...don't understand; what did you mean?" I had a sinking feeling in my belly, like I had swallowed a snake, and it was coiling tighter and tighter inside me.
"I am talking about your supernatural powers." The words shot out of his mouth and hit me like a missile.
"No...no...no! This is not true; this could not be possible...you're wrong!" I almost screamed at him.
"I am not wrong Kora; you are not a human...humans don't survive the fall into the belly of the mountain as you did...humans can't see the shadows...no one can touch the Queen's soul weed...Your blood is venom...And you can already see the destruction you're capable of!" He said, looking at the mist of endless destruction.
"And what on earth am I supposed to do?" I could barely think, let alone speak as if my insides had been stabbed from the inside out.
"Learn to deal with it...and the most important...survive!"
"Why!?" I yelped as streams of endless tears dripped down my face.
Hades wrapped his as around me and covered me in a safe haven. I found a shoulder and never wanted to move. His breathtaking scent engulfed me and wrapped around every inch of my skin. I was finally able to breathe without dragging in the air in gasps.
"Ssshh raven, it's okay...I'll help you to deal with your powers...and to survive from your nightmares...of him!"
My body stiffened when Hades spoke about him...of course, Vlad. A feeling of guilt shuddered my spine. This was such a beautiful and special night for us...and my nightmare ruined it.
I turned to Hades and held him close enough to stare into his soulful eyes. I couldn't stop my hand from reaching up to his face and cupping the side into my shivering palm. He closed his eyes and leaned into me.
"How do you know I had a nightmare of...him?" I asked, my voice hoarse from the sore throat.
"You screamed his name!" His answer was simple, but his shuddered reaction spoke volumes. The hurt was evident in his voice. He kept his eyes closed as if swallowing the tears, and I held my hand to his face to calm him. We remained like this for a while, drawing comfort from each other we both needed. At this moment, if any other were to witness our position, they would think of us as nothing short of lovers, captured in a symbolic embrace.
We both were still naked. I moved my hand down to his neck. He was perfect like an artist of God had sculpted every inch of him. My fingers curled around his shoulder, then moved down his body further. He kept his eyes closed, and the long, thick eyelashes created little shadows under his lower lashes. I heard him suck in a jagged breath when my hand continued its forbidden journey downwards.
I felt the hard contours of his chest and then lower still on the firm lines that marked out the strength in his hardened abs. I traced each line with a butterfly touch, and when my hand reached the lowest set of his six-pack, his hand bolted out and seized my wrist from further movement. His eyes flashed open, and for a few moments, our stares locked.
"I want this...I want this so much...but not now!" He said in a husky tone. He then leaned down, moving his hands up to frame my face. I thought at first that he would kiss me, but instead, he just lent his forehead to mine and held my face to his.
"Why did you have to make me feel hurt again, Kora? Why do you have to take his name?" He asked me, and the large lump I swallowed could be heard clearly in the silence. I didn't know what to say...Hell, I didn't know what to think. It felt like I was locked to him, and just one word came out of my mouth.
"I..."
"No, Kora, don't speak...not now..." he whispered into my skin, and his thumb caressed my lips.
"Hades...please...I'll explain!" Every word coming out of me was loaded with emotions.
"What explanation...moaning his name with my seed still dripping your thighs... fantasizing about him while having sex with me?" He taunted.
"Hades...no!" I cried, but it was no use. He was so hurt, and I was the one who had hurt him. I felt so disgusted and guilty for turning the best night of my life into the worst. Hades removed his hand and was about to get up, but I blocked him.
"No! It's a lie; I never fantasized about Vlad. I would never do that to you!" I screamed like a frightened bird.
"Kora, please!" Hades tried to argue.
"Hades, please...let me speak. I really need to explain this to you, but I don't know how. I am so done with these nightmares that fill my days with moments that are hard to breathe. My nightmares are not because I fantasize about Vlad or love him...but they are like hands which are reaching out and trying to drag me deeper into the darkness. I was so done with them...and all I wanted was to die. But now I want to live, and I'll stop at nothing because you know what happened?...You happened! So, now I will fight against my nightmares and the monsters lurking in them...and you know how?... With my love for you...the most powerful force...and I will succeed because no matter how our enemies try to stop us...they don't stand a chance against the power of our love." I cried, burying my head into my hands.
"I'm so sorry, Kora...please...I...please forgive me," he told me, pulling me to him and cradling my head against his chest. He straightened me so that I could face him. His gaze softened as he took my hand, put it on his chest, and spoke, "I love you." At that moment, I was crying too hard, unable to stop the flow of my tears.
"I love you too," I muttered as he held my face and tipped my head back. The look he gave me had the strength to burn my soul forever. It was bursting with love.
"I want...you," he said, pulling me into his face and kissing me as if we had been torn apart for years. This kiss was pure perfection. I was getting lost in the feel of his strong and safe arms. We were practically clinging to each other as if never wanting to let go.
"I don't know why this keeps happening. Why do I hurt you, even if it is not my intention?" He admitted holding me close, and I felt his hand come to the back of my neck.
"This is called insecurity-the fear of losing someone you love. It happens when you have lost many things in your life."
"I would not survive if I lost you." I swallowed hard at his admission, so I pulled back a little to look at him.
"Oh Hades, I am here with you, always and...forever," I uttered softly at the pained look he gave me.
At that moment, he crushed my body to his and wrapped both arms around me as if he never wanted to let me go. Then, he continued to whisper how sorry he was in my ears.
"Hades-" I whispered his name, finishing it on his lips, making him taste his name on my lips. I kissed him with all my passion, making him feel my breath and my heartbeats. I wanted him to feel me whole. He buried his fingers in my hair. Gods, but I wanted to remain there forever! He has become my obsession and addiction, like taking a breath of fresh air after spending years suffocating in the smoke.
I knew there was so much we had to say to each other, but right now, I wanted nothing more than the feel of him inside me. I needed this. We both needed this connection to reunite our two souls.
"Touch me, Kora!" He spoke, making me swallow hard before shaking my head. And then, without any warning, he grabbed my hand and put it on his bare cock. But of course, my eyes homed straight on in there, unable to help myself. I swear if I thought I'd been struggling to breathe before, I was now close to gasping. The way his solid dick throbbed in between my fingers, I just wanted to lick every inch of it. He gave me that bad boy grin with a cocky raise of a single brow.
"You're huge!" I told him before taking his steely length in my hand and rubbing my thumb over the soft folds of its head. A guttural moan escaped his mouth; I didn't stop but smiled. Then, I took a firmer hold and began using my teeth to bite at the soft satin skin, one surrounding his hard length. Then I rubbed my tongue around his cock, before pushing it inside my mouth. I repeated the action, relaxing my throat and pushing myself further down, gaining more each time. I swiped my tongue over the small slit and marvelled when I tasted the salty precum.
"Fuck, Woman!" He shouted as if I was killing him with pleasure. But I continued working his length to swallow him down. I felt a possessive hand fist in my hair as he held my head to his cock the second he roared his release, giving me every piece of him. The moment his seed shot into my mouth, I gagged around as I tried my best to swallow him down, feeling it dripping from my chin. He roared his release, and soon, his fist in my hair went slack, and once I was sure I had lapped up every last drop, I released him, kissing the sensitive head, making him shudder one last time. I felt like a powerful siren with the hidden power to bring a king to his knees.
Then I straightened my back and faced him, showering soft kisses on his jawline before moving back.
"Where the fuck do you think you're going!" he snapped, snatching my hand and yanking me back to him.

*He put me back together so well that I forgot I was broken!!...*
