WHO: Pasiphae and Minos
WHAT: Meeting again
WHEN: Tuesday evening
WHERE: Diogenes Club
WARNINGS: TBA but likely nothing beyond possibly speaking of past cow sex



Minos had heard of the place from Arthur Pendragon, a lawyer he occasionally worked with who was also an immortal. He stopped in now once a week to see if he could find anyone he knew and hoping against hope he might find his family there. It had been far too long since he had seen any of them. His wife or his children, hell he would even be happy to see any of the half-siblings he got along with. And if he didn't find anyone, he could still have a nice drink surrounded by people like him.

As usual, when he entered he didn't see anyone he recognised from home. With an accepting sigh he ordered a whiskey and coke and took a seat to enjoy his drink.

Ever since Pasiphae had been found by her daughter she had started to have high hopes of finding others who she wished were around. It was only a matter of time before her other children showed up. And even Minos had to be around someone; he was the most popular one of the family. She was surprised she hadn't heard tale of him yet.

The Diogenes Club wasn't exactly a place she liked going to because she knew the sort of immortals that were around. There were Olympians in the city and she had no desire to run into them. She didn't care if she was considerably off the radar, she just hated the whole lot of them.

At first she hesitated and then entered the club with a finally decision. She would take a look, have a quick drink and then head home. Of course she had low expectations as she stepped inside, but the moment her eyes began to sweep the front room she halted. Between seeing him and the power he gave off it was like walking into a brick wall. She blinked, unable to believe her eyes. She was speechless, utterly speechless.

Minos stared into his drink and he gave it a small swirl, listening to the ice cubes tinkle as they hit against the glass. He finally took a sip as he looked up and he very nearly choked as he caught sight of his wife staring at him. Rather ungracefully he spit the the drink back out and spluttered and coughed before quickly rising from his seat so he could walk towards her.

Well that knocked Pasiphae out of her trance. She blinked and cleared her throat and even if he had stood up to come over she had moved as well. She wasn't sure whether to be excited or scared or overjoyed. It was a very strange mixture of feelings as she looked him over. Their history was a strange one. A jealous one. But she still remembered there had been quite a lot of love as well. She had been absolutely devoted to him until Poseidon decided to be a dick, but when was he not?

She offered a nervous smile. "Wow. I can't say I was expecting to see you here," was all she could manage to think of.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos licked his lips which tasted like sweet whiskey. He smiled at her then, and he reached up to place his hands on his shoulders. "Pasiphae," he said, his tone kind. He hadn't been expecting to find her either, but he had hoped-

"It's really you?"

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

The only thing that could make this better was if the rest of their children decided to walk in at that exact moment. Talk about a family reunion. But for now this would do. She smiled a little more. "Minos," she greeted in return.

She nodded then. "Yes, it's me. I had no idea you were here."

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos let out a breath he had been holding since he saw her and spit out his drink. His smile then was warm as he pulled her in for a hug. Yes, he could be a cold man and yes he wasn't exactly faithful to her, but he loved her. He loved her despite everything.

"I was hoping someone would be here," he said, holding her for a moment before letting go. He gestured that she should join him at his table so they weren't standing awkwardly in the middle of the floor any more. "I've been here twice this week already hoping to run into someone. And I found you."

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

The love she had felt for Minos was undying. Even through the most horrible time of her life he had been the one in her heart; somewhere beyond her curse was her, not the mask of herself. Everything bad that had happened to them was unimportant, especially now. She was caught a little off guard but she found herself moving her arms around him. Her head rested on his shoulder as he allowed this hug. Affection had always been a private matter and even now she was still getting used to others showing their affections in public.

She smiled and sat across from him. "I've been here occasionally. It's not my first choice, since you never know who might be here. But I am so glad I came today. Ariadne is here too," she said more brightly.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

At the mention of his daughter, Minos' eyes lit up. He loved his children and he wanted to see her. Had been wanting to see her again for decades. "And the others?" he asked, trying not to look too hopeful.

And he was very much hoping the Minotaur was nowhere to be found.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

With all the formalities of royalty Pasiphae had not always been able to show as much affection as she wanted to her children, but now with Ariadne there she was able to love and coo over her daughter as much as she wanted. It didn't matter that she was grown. A woman's child would always be just that. She shook her head sadly, "None of our other children are here. Only Ariadne." She gave no mention of the Minotaur and in only saying their children it showed she only thought of Minos' children as her only ones. "She's beautiful. As beautiful as she was before," she said fondly.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos didn't show how disappointed he was to hear that, instead concentrating on what she was saying about Ariadne. "Of course she is," he said easily. The he laughed and shook his head. "I still can't believe it's you, this is a little surreal. How are you, what have you been doing all this time?"

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

Her nose wrinkled as she smiled at his response. None of their children could be anything but beautiful and handsome. "Yes, well when you've come back from the dead it's all difficult to take in. When I first came back I thought maybe I had never died and I was going mad." She gave a small shrug, "I'm well. The last few years I've been teaching second grade. Right now I work at a private school called Trinity. What about you?" She imagined he had been doing something very interesting things. Much more entertaining than teaching mortal children.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos' face took on an expression of worry when she mentioned she believed she was going mad. Coming back to life had been a little like that for him as well.

"I serve as a judge here, as I have on and off over the decades. I figure if the gods put that much trust in me, then mortals could too. My time in the Underworld was fortunate in coming back here. I was already used to no longer being a king. Had I come back expecting the life of royalty, I would have been sorely out of sorts."

Tell me if the waiter thing doesn't work! I can't remember if there are waiters.

Pasiphae didn't drink a lot, at least nothing too hard, but when someone came and asked if she needed anything she ordered a White Russian and then smiled at Minos.

"That certainly suits you. I can't imagine anything more fitting." As he spoke she listened quietly, though she continued to smile fondly at him. Her drink was brought over and she took a small sip before speaking. "It was an adjustment for me, but it was refreshing not having all those responsibilities. But it's been a lonely existence, I must admit."

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos continued to kiss her neck and shoulder and slowly he raised one of his hands from her waist to her breast. "I missed you so much," he murmured, his lips against her skin.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

So much of how they used to be when they were alone came back. Maybe they hadn't been this way in public but when they were set loose in a room alone together it got steamy. "Minos," she whispered, a hand moving to cradle his neck. She turned her head then to find his lips, moaning as her chest began to rise and fall more rapidly. It had been too long. She had to feel him again. She had to taste him.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

When she turned to kiss him, Minos took her hand and spun her around fully so they were face to face. Then he slowly started walking her towards the bedroom, him forwards, her backwards, kissing and touching the entire way. He pushed the door open with his foot and headed in the direction of the bed.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

For support she kept her arms wrapped around him the entire way, but she never ceased to touch or kiss him. She breathed in his scent and an almost animalistic urge came over her as she bit gently at his neck. The queen who had also been a witch was coming out. Even when she felt the bed against her back she didn't stop.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos ripped off his shirt and then he laced his fingers in Pasiphae's hair as he leaned in to kiss her again. He needed her and there was something almost desperate and slightly frantic about the way he touched and kissed. He wanted to experience the feel of her again; the woman he had been dreaming of for centuries. He whispered her name as he bit at her neck and trailed kisses on her chest. He had to get her clothes off but he was almost too distracted to deal with semantics.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

Pasiphae suddenly wished clothes these days were as simple to remove as they were in the old days. Nevertheless, she still pulled her shirt up and over her head. She tossed it somewhere without even looking. The need to be touched only continued to grow the more he kissed her. Her fingers had moved to her skirt where she fumbled a little because the zipper seemed stuck. There was an indignant groan and she ended up ripping the blasted thing. Pushing her hips up she was able to slid it off with ease now, and in the process press against him more.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

When her hips arched up, Minos slid his arm underneath her and with his other hand he managed to slide his trousers off. He kicked his legs until they pooled on the floor at the edge of the bed.

With that he held Pasiphae's body against his own. He trailled hot kisses from her chest to her breast and then his tongue circled her nipple before he took it into his mouth.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

Pasiohae's heart raced, she breathed rapidly. She whispered things to him, things she would never say to another. About how he was the only one, how much she loved and missed him. How he made her feel. She felt like a young lover again. This fire wasn't going to burn out. Her hands roamed his back and her legs wrapped around him.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

Minos was in no mood for taking his time. There was too much fire and need. He pressed himself inside her, his grip still holding her tightly against him. He rocked his hips as he circled her nipple with his tongue. A moan escaped his lips, hot against her skin. The feel of her was almost overwhelming.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

That caught her off guard and she let out a sharp gasp. But that was easily redeemed as she moved her hips with his. Soon enough it was much more comfortable and she too was moaning in his ear.

[nyctophilia.insanejournal.com]

They found their rhythm and he kept her held to him as he moved. His kisses became somewhat sloppy as their movements undid him.

"I love you," he moaned, without even realising it. Warmth built low in his belly and spread throughout his body and he knew he wouldn't last much longer.

[all-shining.insanejournal.com]

As they moved Pasiphae found herself squeezing him gently. It was more to help her than him. It was a graceful sort of dance they were doing.

It didn't unnerve her but she also wasn't expecting it. What it did do was make her move a little faster and squeeze that muscle a little more tightly. She was sweating profusely and even in her growing exhaustion she clung to him desperately.
