Aphrodite sat on mount Olympus staring down at the world of man. The chill of the winter did not reach them on the mountain and she wore her robes open and had cast her golden girdle aside in favor of comfort. Her body gleamed with the golden sheen of a goddess and her eyes glowed with the passion of a goddess of her particular talents. Next to her sat Hermes, he also in his bare minimums. He was youthful and vibrant, with a mischievous glint in his darkly bright eyes. His hair was bleached like burnished gold and his skin gleamed like bronze. They lay together upon a bed and stared into the world below with a gleaming bowl of water which showed them anything they wished. They watched the world and Aphrodite sighed.
"The winter is so hard on them, if only they had some great pleasure to even out their great pain and hardships."
She looked down, more contemplative then was her nature. She felt on odd sadness for these creatures so beneath the gods. They could not compete in any way. Some of them were mildly fair but none compared to even the lowliest god, except perhaps her husband. She giggled to herself and stroked Hermes leg with her own. He looked at her and smiled. He thought of the best way to please her and in seeing her interest in the humans he had an idea for how.
"Aphrodite, my Love, how about giving them it?" he laughed when she looked confused.
"But what is it we should give them? They have to fight everyday to get even the smallest amount of food, even though we gifted them with the foods they can eat. They work to build larger villages and to raise their children. They fight the cold and huddle together for warmth with no comfort, they live like animals. As much as I would like to, just giving them something pretty to look at isn't going to do much good I fear." She sighed and looked away and he laughed again.
"My dear, I know what we can give them." And he sat up. She sat up as well and looked in his eyes inquiring. He leaned in and kissed her and she pushed him back.
"Not now, I am far to distraught. how dare you tease me like that, I thought you had an idea." She pouted beautifully and crossed her arms across her chest committing the heinous crime of covering up the greatest pair of breasts that the Gods had taken it upon themselves to bestow. He pulled her arms away and leaned his head in to lap and suckle at her nipples. She moaned despite herself and allowed him. When he was done he looked up at her, a sly smile on his handsome face.
"We will give them this." Aphrodite sighed looking down at her breasts. "My dear they may be amazing and glorious but I really don't think they would help." Hermes smiled.
