The very sight of Aphrodite's comments had Adonis' heart racing. Even a few words and pictures on a screen were enough to have him closing up the laptop and leaving so fast, he nearly forgot to tidy up. Half an hour later, he was riding up the elevator with his heart in hand, each floor bringing him closer and closer to her.
The attraction to the beautiful goddess had probably been out of lust to begin with, but in those months he spent with her, something deeper came to be. Something more than skin-deep beauty. In her presence, he'd felt adored, cherished. Loved. It had never been the same with Persephone, who was gorgeous in her own right-- but she wasn't Aphrodite. No one would ever compare.
It was more than some simple infatuation, that much he knew for sure.
Adonis very nearly forgot himself and moved to open the door once he'd arrived, but out of a rushed politeness, rapped his knuckles against the wood before opening it. He sucked in a deep breath and pushed the door open the rest of the way.
