The Taking of Persephone, Part 1

Rate this book
Myths are usually censored: Hades didn't just see Persephone and take her.

First he saw her. Then he was fascinated by her warmth. Later he realized that he wanted her.

So Hades went to Persephone in dreams as a daimōn, and seduced her—took her with mouth and hands, bringing her to climax again and again, overwhelming her with ecstasy. He ravished her senses until she lay sated in his embrace, still craving his touch.

Persephone asked to be his.

And even as he prepared her channel for his possession, prepared to have her body completely, Hades refused her—refused to be her only lover.

Persephone fled.

And that is when Hades decided to steal her...


The Taking of Persephone, Part 1 is 7,200 words—approx. 30 pages. Part 2 will be published one week after Part 1; Part 3 the week after that.

This work is for ADULT AUDIENCES ONLY—readers 18+. This story contains several lengthy scenes of graphic sexuality. DO NOT READ if you are offended by such material.

It was so so

It was sexy and but rather unsatisfying. I wanted a love story not two people/gods arguing weather or not to have sex that's not in a dream. And it's not nice to have a series and the series in not on kindle.

Okay but nothing spectacular. Reads like a fanfiction which isn't really a bad thing, per se.
