“Yes, I have one of those,” I said pointedly. I was not completely stupid. “But it is called a penis.”

Ares shook his head. “Nope, it can be called many things, and yeah, a penis is thescientificword for all you smart people, but dick and cock are the words most often used.”

I rolled my eyes, just as Zeus had done when Aphrodite said she wanted a shy lover.

I pulled out my notebook, clicking the pen and listening to Ares drone on about a body part I knew plenty about. If Lani asked to see my…eggplant, shaft, meat and two veggies, wee wee or, joystick, I would know she was talking about my serpent, as Aphrodite would say.

“Now that you know the names, I won’t go into anything else about it. I’m sure you have whacked off plenty to know how your beaver basher works.”

“Whacked off? Beaver basher?” I choked.

“Masturbated, and another nickname for a penis, Cy.” Zeus crossed his arms. “Ares, as informative as this is, your uncle does not need to dive this deep into every single slang name for his cock.”

Aphrodite snickered in the corner. “And don’t call it a beaver basher. Women dislike referring to their vaginas as that. It can be quite offensive.”

“Nicknames for body parts can be offensive?” I asked.

Aphrodite nodded while Ares scoffed. “Yeah, some chicks don’t like it when you call their cooter a cunt. Mariah loves it when I talk dirty to her though, her pussy squeezes around my cock when I say her dirty cunt is mine.”

My mouth hung open as Ares stood, thrusting his hips and pretending his hands were wrapped around an invisible waist. “Yeah, baby, you like it when I fuck this dirty cunt. It’s my dirty pussy, you filthy little thing. Gonna fill you up with so much come…”

I shook my head and clamped my hands over my ears, trying to muffle the sound. “Fates, disgusting!”

“Yeah, baby, squeeze my dick!” Ares closed his eyes, and his erection grew.

Aphrodite cackled in the corner. “Ares, you aren’t fucking me hard enough!” she said in Mariah’s mocking voice.

Ares growled, humping the air faster

I did not understand the extent of Aphrodite’s power, but I saw a red aura glowing around her as she waved the red glowing light over Ares. His face tightened, sweat dripping down his temples until he pulled his “cock” out of his pants.

“Fates!” I covered my eyes, but I could hear the whapping of his hand rubbing up and down his shaft.

“Mariah is gonna get a kick out of this,” Aphrodite said, pulling out a cell phone and pointing it at Ares’s debauchery.

Zeus groaned. “No wonder Athena didn’t show up. I think she would have died instead of fainting at the indecency,” Zeus said unamused.

“You’re losing your touch, Ares.” Aphrodite tried to continue with a straight face when I peeked through my fingers. It was like watching the fall of Rome. You couldn’t look away.

“This would be a hell of a lot more interesting if Ares wasn’t my son. Excuse me.” Zeus stood up, ignoring Aphrodite’s laughter and pulled out his phone—most likely playing Candy Crush.

Please take me with you, I silently begged. But instead of hearing the chimes of the game, he held the phone up to his ear and said Candice’s name.

What?

“Fuck, Mariah!” Ares yelled and streams of his seed covered the floor.

Fates, this was worse than when I was teaching my creatures to do these sorts of things in private. How old was this god?

Aphrodite wiped her forehead, leaning back in the chair. “Now that was fun. Maybe Mariah doesn’t have to deal with your dick for more than an hour, and she can rest. I don’t know how she puts up with your horny ass.”

Ares shook his head, looking at his dick, and his face filled with disappointment. “That wasn’t real? Fuck, Aphrodite, you sick fuck!”

She giggled, taking a sip of a procured wine glass filled with ambrosia. “That’s my job, Ares. Imagine how much money I make without having to lay a hand on any human. You were just too easy, lost in the moment, thinking of your mate. Mariah will get a good kick out of it.” She brought the glass to her lips and drained it. “Now get on with teaching Poseidon about a woman’s lady bits. Let’s see if you even know where a clit and G-spot are.”

Ares grumbled, sticking his…cock…back into his pants.

To a human, it would be doubly embarrassing but, these were gods. We had been around for so many years we found it amusing to play tricks on one another. I am just grateful they hadn’t done anything like this to me.
