“He has always been a devious bastard,” Artemis growled. “He has always seemed to have a second escape route. A coward in my eyes always.”

“We had thought that, you would get him this time. Though, I think that he might be exhausting his allies. At this point he has used some of his most powerful.” Athena stated.

Ephus was nodding when a thought came to him. Turning to the Greek god and goddesses he asked. “Just who in the hell was I dealing with? Both the male and female had twisted misshapen faces and bodies. Then, there is the fact that, I don’t think they will be back for a bit, I nearly took the arm of the male.”

“You say that they were misshapen, the female was she bent somewhat at her back?” Athena asked.

Ephus thought about it a few moments before he turned toward Athena. “Yes that seems to describe them greatly.”

Athena was quiet for a few moments as it appeared that she was searching out the information in her head. “Yes, I am sure of it. It appears, that Ares has been getting favors from other gods that owe him. The two you describe are Dolos, and his sister Apate.

“The goddess and god of trickery, cunning deception, craftiness, treachery, fraud and deception? Damn, no wonder I had such a hard time seeing who they truly were.” Ephus said.

“Wait, you saw who they were? You saw through their disguises?” Here Athena turned to stare in shock at her sisters and brother.

All of them turned back to Ephus, all their mouths hanging open. “Never, have we heard of any, god nor mortal who has ever accomplished this. Are you certain you are not using a power that, you haven’t told us of?” A startled Artemis said, a new look of respect that quickly melted into lust on her face.

The lustful looks he was receiving from Artemis, weren’t lost on him nor her sisters. They were doing nothing to hide the smiles their faces held.

Ephus could only groan inside, he had made a promise, though, each time he tried to fulfill it, something got in the way. Damn it, it wasn’t like he didn’t want to, she was as gorgeous as her sisters. She was a walking time bomb of sexual frustration. Looking at her again, he could also see that, he was the only one that might be able to defuse her.

Ephus leaned over to Quinn, whispering to her. A look of concern came to her face, then she looked around Ephus to see a very frustrated Artemis.

Quinn looked back into Ephus eyes, with a smile coming to her face. “I know that you have to do this, mainly to help save them. I can see that you love me, more than any other. Go help her, explain though that you are mine first then all the others. It looks like you will have the time, especially with Ares and all of his cronies out of commission for a while.”

This time it was Ephus who was staring deep into Quinn’s eyes. He had to make sure, he’d learned early on to not screw with the emotions of a female that one loved. As he remembered from his friends lives that had, it hadn’t turned out very well at all. As a matter of fact a few of them were still limping.

Ephus nodded his head, he was relieved when she returned his nod then gave him a small kiss. “Help her husband, I can almost taste her desperation on the air.”

A slightly shocked Ephus, drew back further to see Quinn’s smile grow larger. “I will do my best Quinn.”

“I know Ephus, I expect no less from you.” Quinn said as she gave Ephus a slight push toward Artemis.

Ephus walked directly to Artemis, a perplexed though still frustrated look on her face. A look that rapidly faded into a huge smile as Ephus was whispering to her. A moment later when Ephus pulled back Artemis was vigorously nodding her head.

He took a step back from her holding out his hand. When she could only stare at his hand, seeming to be in a state of shock, he asked, “you want me to cancel?”

“NO!” Artemis shouted as she lunged for Ephus grabbing him tight, then they both vanished.

Ephus and Aretmis appeared in the same small building that he had with Athena. He’d had this made to facilitate times such as these. As he remembered with a smile on his lips, Athena had greatly appreciated it.

“I know what the others said about you and this ... Love making? I have nothing to compare it to, neither did my sisters. Even Hera, could not put it into words the joy that she stated she experienced. Please Ephus, please let me feel this also.” Artemis stated softly, then she quickly removed her clothing. Laying back she spread her self open to Ephus.

Ephus began to remove his clothes, surprised that she was as eager as she was. Leaning over her, Ephus began to slowly, passionately kiss her slightly pouting lips. Touching her face, he slowly worked each side of her neck, her breathing rapidly increasing.

The kisses, slowly evolved to small suckles and nips as he started to work his way to her chest. Several gasps started to come from Artemis, as Ephus kissed his way across and down her breast.

Again, Ephus was surprise with the way Artemis was reacting. He could have sworn that Artemis, was as shy as Serket was. It had taken almost five years, to get Serket to the point that she was thinking about sex with him. Though when they had it had been more than Ephus ever thought it would be.

Ephus, grasped Artemis other breast, he was gently mauling it as he tasted deep of the one in his mouth. Quickly switching, he heard her gasp more as he took it into his mouth. Spending as much time there as he could, he almost didn’t want to leave them.

Again, traveling further he could feel Artemis’s breathing start to come faster. Nearing her belly button, he then was diving deep into it, eliciting a gasp and groan as he tortured it with his tongue.

“Ephus!” He heard her say in a rasping voice. “By all the realms! What are you doing to me? Such feelings, I have OH!” Artemis said as she felt Ephus’s hand softly caress the outside folds of her sex.

Finished with his exploring, Ephus decided to move down, he then wrapped his mouth around her open sex. His eyes shot open when he found that she was not only wet, she was soaking, as her juices flowed freely from her.

As his mouth filled with the taste of her, he felt her arch her body off the bed to get more of her sex in his mouth. A moment later Artemis was suddenly still as Ephus felt a tremor start to vibrate through her.

A moment later, Ephus had to hold on as Artemis almost threw him off the bed. An almost ear piercing wail started to issue from her throat. Just when he thought she was done, she started in again convulsing almost as strong as before.

Ephus was about to dive back in when Artemis, pushed his head away. “No more, I need you inside me Ephus, please!”

A small almost evil smile, crossed his lips as he kissed her sex one more time. He then started to slowly work his way up her body. Her panting, let him know he was on the right track, though her trying to hurry him up helped.

When aligned with her opening, Ephus told her, “I don’t want to hurt you.” Then he slowly started to move forward feeling the heat that her sex was giving off.

He’d just entered her when, he felt her wrap her legs around him. She then proceeded to, pull him into her as deep as she could. She let out an eerie scream as he found his self as deep as he could go.

“You can’t hurt me, by all the realms, I know not what you have done to me. Fill me Ephus, let me know what this loving is when you are inside me!” Artemis was almost begging. With that, Ephus started a comfortable rhythm listening as Artemis started to get louder and louder.
