Ephus sat with a thud again, the three extra bonds that he’d ripped loose had been a drain. Like before though, he found that his power was rapidly rebuilding.

A smile slowly crossed his face as he thought of how pissed off Ares was going to be when he found out. At least Eris was a bit freer, though Ephus felt, there was far more of her power tied to Ares.

According to Serket what he’d done to free the five bonds on Eris was rare. Well, rare or unheard of to say the least. Obviously, he was going to have to have more information on this before he tried anything more.

Making Eris more comfortable Ephus sat at the table to think this through. He’d only been at it for a short time when he felt a huge surge of power outside his door. Nodding his head two of the three powers he felt he knew. This last though was completely unknown to him.

Reaching out he felt this third power was far older than the other two. Shit he thought, now who was getting involved?

Ephus was even more surprised when there was a knock on the door, ok now THAT was different. Opening in a slight smile crossed his face when he saw both younger looking Aphrodite and Athena standing there. Looking behind them, he saw an older slightly nervous female.

“We know you have much that you are doing” Aphrodite started.

“We also know that you are having problems with our half-brother Ares.” Athena stated.

Ephus nodded never taking his eyes off the older female. “Yes, all that is true. As is the fact that I am more than frustrated with your realm. Aphrodite you and Athena are the only ones I have found that even deserve consideration to be saved. The rest,” here Ephus shook his head. “The rest I could really care less about.”

A gasp from the older female caught Ephus’s attention. “How could he be so cruel.” He heard her whisper to Athena. Athena bent to whisper to the older female whose eyes got large then she nodded. “He really acted that way toward him? I should have done more than shout at him.” Walking forward the older female slightly bowed to Ephus, “I regret that you were treated the way you were. Especially by my husband.”

This last sentence had Ephus confused a moment as he looked at both Aphrodite and Athena.

“She is referring to our father Zeus, also her brother.” Athena stated a small smirk now on her lips. “Hera came to us saying that she wished to end the hostilities between us. I am still finding it a load of crap, though many things she said did make sense. It’s the only reason I agreed to bring her here to you.”

Now a smirk was etched on Ephus’s face. He’d heard a lot of the conflicts that could have been avoided were in fact spurred on by Hera. Looking the older female over, he could see why, with the beauty she posed. Much like Aphrodite she had an uncommon beauty.

“Much has been written about you, mostly your distrust and disdain of most humans. Don’t make the mistake thinking I am still human, though I still think like one. I’m not sure if there is much I can do for the Olympus realm. I have had trouble with almost all the sons of Zeus, including your son Ares.” Ephus told Hera.

Here Hera’s mouth dropped open almost all? Ares she could understand but the others? “I am hoping that with our assistance things will go far easier for you.”

Ephus looked at Hera hard, making her shudder a moment, then stated. “We shall see, don’t forget I am still human in thought. I do not nor will I forgive betrayal.”

Hera shuddered again then nodded, “As I said before I am here to end the hostilities not start them anew. You might also find it interesting to know that our brothers Poseidon and Hades, along with our sister Demeter? Aren’t very pleased with him either. I am sure that anything you want he will soon readily agree to.”

The shock on Ephus’s face made Hera smile, perhaps the godling could use this to his advantage. Strangely enough Ephus was actually thinking almost those exact thoughts. With the three of them on his side was there a way to actually force Zeus’s hand? He’d have to visit them to find out.

“An interesting thought Hera, though I am having a hard time trusting you. Too often it has been written that you betrayed far too many trusts. No, I’d have to have something that I’d know you wouldn’t betray me with.” Ephus stated looking at Hera accusingly.

Hera hung her head, damn that was true. She’d held so many at arm’s length for so long, she wasn’t sure she could truly trust again.

A large smile grew on Athena’s lips as she blurted out, “You know you could just bond with him.” When Hera had a shocked look on her face Athena continued. “Oh please! As many as you have lain with, I am sure with this godling would be no different. What? After all this time you have developed a human conscious? Give me a break! You and father never thought like that before, why start now?”

Hera’s shocked look slowly faded as she turned to look at Ephus, really look at him. A sudden stirring within her caught her by surprise. “That would be acceptable, though would he want to? Especially after what he’s said.”

Both Athena and Aphrodite gave each other knowing looks, then took Ephus’s shades off. Hera looked at Ephus again as an overwhelming want for him started to climb higher within her. “I don’t think that will be a problem.” Aphrodite said as she and her sister watched as Hera started to shred her clothes.

“I know not what this power is, all I know is that I must have you!” An almost desperate sounding Hera stated. Ephus looked at the sisters then nodded as he started to remove his clothes. “Take me Ephus! Make me yours, I give you all my body to use.”

Laying Hera down, Ephus slowly started to kiss her lips drawing deep sighs from within. Grabbing her breast, he gently started to caress it then her other. This caused several groans to issue from Hera’s throat. Even slower, he started to kiss his way around her neck across her shoulders to her chest.

Her breathing becoming erratic, Hera, was at a loss for words. This was unlike anything she’d felt in so very long. That was ‘til Ephus reached the first peak of her breast taking it in deep. Her mouth opened to scream though to her astonishment, nothing came out. The same was true when Ephus switched to the other lavishing it with sucking kisses.

Then she felt a new sensation as Ephus’s hand slowly reached lower to her sex. She could swear that the muscles in her stomach were fluttering. Then again, to her great astonishment, Ephus reached the junction of her legs. Gently caressing her sex, Ephus had to hold on as her body started to convulse. Hera felt as if her mind was shutting down, all she could concentrate on was the feeling of pleasure Ephus was giving her.

Ephus had to smile, though he was a little disappointed that none of the goddesses had experienced this from their mates. Though he was sure that Hera would appreciate what he was doing, would she still want to help after? It was then that Hera screamed out her pleasure Ephus having barely brushed the top of her sex.

To her amazement she had not one but several waves of pleasure wash over her. By all the power! They hadn’t really done anything yet, could she survive what she was sure to be unlimited pleasure? At the moment she didn’t really care though she did want to find out.

Both Athena and Aphrodite whispered as they left the room, “We told you he was unique.” Hera tried to answer only to find that her voice was silent.

Suddenly everything stopped as she heard Ephus ask, “I can stop this if you want Hera. Or shall I continue? If, as you say you can help in all this? Then I hope this is a worthy payment.”

Hera’s eyes were large as she gasp out, “Please continue! I haven’t felt anything like this in a very long time!”

Smiling Ephus nodded as he continued to stroke Hera’s sex. Moving into position Ephus slowly began to slide himself into her wet sheath. Then to his amazement, he felt her legs lock on his back and pull him in all the way.

They both let out an oomph as Ephus bottomed out in her. Hera felt so good this went far beyond anything that Athena and Aphrodite had described. Screaming out she was amazed at the feelings she was having. Had Zeus even been half this good, she’d never gone to another lover. Perhaps Ephus could teach? Then all thought was lost as Ephus began to move within her.
