Virgin deity.
I shove my tunic aside and lift her higher. Several hands try to pull me away from her, but I use my last moment of strength to thrust into her.
Power explodes around me in whites and purples, shoving everyone to the ground, pinning them there while I claim her.
Cleo thrusts her hands into my hair, gripping it to steady herself. Her eyes are lost to me, her body is no longer hers.
It’s mine.
“You!” Cleo screams, clenching her teeth after. “You, I choose you!”
I roar so loud she winces.
“I choose you,” she repeats as a blood red tear slides down her cheek.
The ground around us is shaking with such force that I’d normally be worried, but I’m so consumed by her that she is all I care about. The earth is shaking, moving.
She meets me thrust for thrust letting my flames consume her. Her head scrapes against the tree and her nails dig into my skin so hard I pray for marks I can keep forever.
She’s so warm and tight, I can’t stop myself, my eyes roll back and the world around us flashes completely white when I finish inside her.
“Ra!” Her scream is deafening as she clenches her core around my pulsing cock, greedily milking my essence, taking it inside her.
My name.
That’smyname.
She has spoken my true name. Heat erupts through me, awakening something explosive inside that at once weakens and strengthens me.
Light burns from my eyes like the day I created the mountains, the sheer power is intoxicating. My head falls back in another triumphant shout while we’re still connected.
“Cyrus,” a voice interrupts.
I want to flick it away.
“Cyrus!” A bit more urgency is put forth.
I ignore everything but her, driven to pump my hips again.
“Cyrus!”
“WHAT!” I roar, the wind from my exhale causes Kratos to stumble backwards. “What could you possibly want, lower god?”
Kratos’s eyes flash red. “To remind you of your station, Ra.”
“I am Ra. Lord of the Sky!” I sneer at him. “It’s none of your business!”
Enki clears his throat and steps forward. “Maybe take her back to the cave for the rest of the night? Otherwise the feast will be ruined by a veritable hurricane.”
I look around. It’s starting to rain. The earth is still tremoring beneath my feet, shaking the trees and mountains around us. Still, just the thought of pulling away from her even to carry her across the ice feels like death.
Apep sighs. “It’s the right choice, let the rest of them celebrate the fact that the Immortal Sun finally mated for once in his life.” His sneer is so unwelcome, I wish I could end him. Instead, I ease away from her, gently lift her in my arms, and carry her away from them.
They don’t deserve to see her.
They don’t deserve to watch us together.
I’m trembling so hard that I can barely focus on putting one foot in front of the other.
