Chapter 1âHeraâs Discovery
ââAnd by Tatarus, Iâm sick of it!â Hera shouted.
Athena looked demurely away. âWell, he is Father of the Gods. He is supposed to make a few new ones, every now and thenâŠâ The pair were eating ambrosia on a terrace on Mount Olympus, home to the pantheon of Gods that dominated most of the Middle Sea.
Hera glanced at Athena bitterly. âHeâs also my husband!â she snapped. âI canât believe you all defend him like that! Donât rules count for anything?â
Athena gave a polite cough. âWell, yes, they do, butâwell, he IS the rules.â She glanced at Hera sympathetically. âItâs important to remember that.â
Hera looked away. âAnd I count for nothing? Iâm the Queen of HeavenâŠâ
Athena sighed. âHeraâheâs my father. Donât ask me to attack himâI canâtâŠâ
Hera nodded slowly. âI should have expected that fromâŠâ Suddenly she gasped. âOh, would you look at that?â, she said, pointing over to another table.
Athena glanced over and then stared, her eyes wide. âWhy thatâhussyâŠâ
The object of their scorn sat at the opposite end of the terrace. Aphrodite was being fed ambrosia by Ares, who tall, handsome, and definitely not her husband.
Hera shook her head. âHow can Hephaestus stand that?â
Athena sighed and shrugged. âHeâs really to sweet for his own goodâŠâ
Hera glared over at the loversâ table. âAnd with Ares? Heâs not even an Olympian! That Thracian bastard spends most of his time sucking up to Zeus and the rest of us, and the other half boasting! The moment he runs back to daddy Atlas is the moment the whole Mount Olympus gets cleaned upâŠâ Hera shuddered. âAnd to have an affair with him! That woman has absolutely no tasteâŠâ
Athena nodded. âHephaestus really deserves better than her.â
Hera looked at her pointedly. âHe was always fond of you.â
Athena started and then shook her head a little too hurriedly for Heraâs tastes. âOh, you know I pledged to Zeus to remain chaste and unwedâŠâ
Hera sighed. âSo did Artemis, though I think she had different reasonsâŠâ Hera chuckled. âYou and her arenât seeing each other, are you?â
âOf course not!â Athena stood up, suddenly. âNow if youâll excuse me, I have to be in Athens. Theyâre praying for victory right now, so I figure Iâll inspire the troopsâŠâ With that Athena vanished. Hera frowned. Athena was probably the only friend she had among the godsâand even she wasnât that close. It was probably her temper that drove the others awayâbut damn it, could anybody blame her! Hera felt a wave of anger steal over her that caused several house fires and a small heat wave before she could get it under control. Several hundred years of marriage, and Zeus still played the field with an enthusiasm no mortal playboy could hope to match. Mortalsânymphsâgoddessesâsometimes it seemed there was no limit to what heâd bed. Hell, heâd even screwed a few men over the ages. And sheâhis wife was just supposed to sit back, and take it with a smile. Hera stood up and left the terrace. She couldnât eat anymoreâshe was simply too angry. Walking back to the Celestial Palace, she swore that next time she caught Zeus, sheâd do something to teach him a lesson. Something more forceful than turning the girl into a cow. As she entered the palace, she was surprised to find that the servants were all gone. Five steps in, and she realized why.
âOh, Zeus! Ohhh, Zeus! Itâs so goood! Fuck!â
Hera snarled. Okay, this was it. Zeus and his latest floozy were in for it. She walked forward, following the ecstatic cries of joy the couple were making.
âOhhâohhhâ groaned Zeus. âDamn it, you are still the best lay Iâve ever had!â
âAnd so are you!â cried his paramour. âYou always fill me up so good! So good and hot!â
Hera reached the source of the noiseâa small back closet in the palace, closed with a thick curtain. Behind it, she heard the frenzied sound of flesh slapping against flesh, as the couplesâ sex session continued. A thin smile spread over her face. All she had to do now was open the curtain, and sheâd catch Zeus in flagrant delicto, as that little village in Italy liked to put it. Still for a moment she hesitated. This was a risky step.
âFuck-fuck-fuck me with that great big dick of yours!â
