“How about we go to the living room and have a story time like you females like to say,” Hades said with his arm out toward the living room to usher us there. He was certainly the jester of the family.
We all moved to the living room and took seats. Once we were comfortable, they all just looked at me. This would be the first time that Hades and Poseidon heard my voice. “Well, I guess I should tell you all that I can play the piano. Um, not just the piano. I play a plethora of instruments because it’s kind of what I do for a living.”
I saw Zeus’s head tilt to the side from the corner of my eye. “What exactly do you do for a living, baby?” He leaned over and put his lips to my ear, then whispered, “I’m gonna dig in that pussy later with your talented, sexy ass.”
“I’m a songwriter and music producer. If you’ve ever heard of Harmony Kadence Productions, that’s me. Well, it’s me and Melody.” I sat there silently to see if anyone would say or ask anything.
Hades lifted his finger. “Excuse me. Is Kadence spelled with a‘k’or a ‘c’?” After I confirmed that it was with a ‘k,’ he told us all to hold on, please, as he tapped on the screen of his phone. “So, you’re not just a songwriter, music producer. You’re a successful one.”
“I’ve been blessed in what I do. My auntie Kadence, Melody’s mother, took me in after my mother died. She was a songwriter, the same as my mother. I guess it’s in our blood.”
Hades’s face contorted. “So, you call twelve Grammy Awards, five All-American Music Awards, and a boatload of other awards blessed?
I listened as he read my accolades, people that I’d worked with, beats that I’d made, and songs that I’d written to everyone. It all sounded very impressive. I was blessed to be able to do what I did.
“So, how do you like hear the music if your implant is off?” Hera asked.
Her curiosity made me smile. “I can feel the beat of the instruments. I have a music room at my house with all of my instruments. One day, I’ll show you.”
“Shit, I want to see too. Make sure I’m there,” Hades insisted. “This is cool as fuck, sis! My sis-in-law is a famous music producer.”
I held my hand up. “Wait, people don’t know I’m me. The artists that I work with sign NDAs to not reveal my identity or the fact that I’m hearing impaired.. I never accept any of my awards in person. The industry has me labeled as a mysterious recluse.”
“Why though, baby? You’re amazing,” Zeus complimented with his hand on my thigh.
I shrugged. “People can be mean. As tolerant as the world is now, there are still enough assholes out there to do damage. It’s always just been me, my auntie, and my cousin. Now, it’s just me and my cousin. Me behind the curtains is a way of protecting us.”
Poseidon scooted forward in his seat. “I don’t know if you heard, but you’re Madam Prez. You got a whole army behind not just you, but Melody too. Whenever you want to step out there, you can. We got you.”
An idea popped into my head. “My music studio in Charlotte is opening very soon. Melody wanted to do a grand opening, but I told her no. Maybe I could?—”
“Fuck yeah! You’re going to have a grand opening that’s going to bring the city out. Call Mel and tell her to bring her ass here to plan. She can stay at Poseidon’s house.” Hades smirked in his brother’s direction.
Poseidon gave his brother his middle finger. “How about you mind the business that pays you. That business is not what my dick does.”
“Hey, I can hear you! Ew!” I used my finger to turn off my implant before I told them to carry on.
I saw them all laugh at me. I did not want to think about Melody and Poseidon having sex. She may not have, but he certainly just confirmed that they fucked. At least in my mind, he did.
Zeus grabbed my chin to turn my face to him. He kissed my lips sultrily. His amorous gaze at me when he pulled away made me warm inside. Coming out to the world would be a new chapter in my life. I was ready for it.
Hades made me call Melody to let her know that the grand opening was on. She was excited beyond belief. She opted that she would fly to work from my townhouse until the event. Ididn’t miss the small smile that sat on Poseidon’s face when she said that. I would make sure I had extra disinfectants for the counters in the house. I knew how my cousin got down.
A SHORT TIME LATER…
“Zeus, baby, I can’t take it,” I whined.
His head was between my legs. His tongue did magic tricks on my clit and asshole. The attention to detail that he gave when it came to satisfying me was beyond what I’d ever experienced. It wasn’t just a sexual thing. The conversations that we had stimulated every part of me. There were times that we would just sit in silence with him lying between my legs with his arms around my waist. He would fall asleep in that position sometimes.
He knew that there were times that I liked silence, and he respected that. Zeus was very touchy, feely. I loved that affection because it made me comfortable to stay within my true clingy nature. His parents were very happy when we gave them the news about us exploring a relationship. They also were surprised and impressed by my musical ability. Now Mrs. Laverne would call me just to hear me play. I looked forward to every request.
“Yes, you can. Give me another one, and I’ll let up.” He went back to his feast after he spoke.
He knew what to do to get me there. The finger in the ass did it every time. My body shivered at the feeling of my soul leaving my body willingly. My baby had to put a plastic mattress protector under his sheets. After I was drained, he patted my ass. “Good girl. Let’s get cleaned up so you can get to the studio.”
Clean up was code for‘I’m going to fuck the common sense out of you in the shower, then clean your body.’“Let’s go clean up.”
Two hours later, we were at the studio with Melody. Now that everything was completed and I spent most of my time on the Basil compound, I worked from here. If Zeus wasn’t busy, he would be with me in the studio. The front door of the studio stayed locked after official business hours, which was four in the afternoon. A buzzer was used to trigger lights throughout the building to alert me if someone was at the front door before or after business hours. The hours for the receptionist that I hired was six to six. She was a local college student who was studying sound engineering, so I decided to also take her on as a mentee.
