The dog days are over

Aphrodite ◦ Unmeasurable Stuck on an island, wishing to get off. It was fun for the first few years but now it's just getting tedious.

I wonder if this longing will disappear or fade away because carry it around has become tiresome.

I keep searching for you // c.w.

If I were a piece of clothing I would be  the lingerie  laying on an old lovers floor, delicate and lovely  but rumpled  clearly used, forgotten, and like my heart never to be returned.

sometimes she was okay with leaving, starting over, forgetting. but then it would hit her singing songs around a campfire with her friends going for late night coffee runs with her neighbors or hugging her best friends or simply just being and realizing that soon she’ll be somewhere else without them alone and left, once again, with a broken heart.

        “I’m going to stay up tonight to watch dawn come,” Eos announced, though she knew it would likely be a difficult task to watch something she’d once been such a huge part of. “You should join me,” she added a moment later. “But I don’t think you can manage staying awake till sunrise.”

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“Please,” Aphrodite rolled her eyes. “We both know that I used to stay awake for days for fun.” Granted those times she had been doing something slightly more fun than sitting around and talking. But still, it counted.

He blinked up to the sky. Explaining how it felt to love the sea with every fiber of his being to the point that each wave and motion of the water sung to him in a way that the land never did would be impossible. Still, he tried. “It was… everything,” he said hesitantly, aware that he was being vague. “It was like I was a part of something larger, like the whole ocean was there for me to love, be loved by, and command. I honestly don’t know if anything I say will explain how much it meant to me.” 

[pleasureableaphrodite]

She nodded. Or rather she tried to without being choked by the water. She understood what he meant. It was how she felt about love. So she knew where he was coming from. “What’s your name?” She asked with a laugh. “I didn’t ask that before and I don’t want you to think I go jumping into the water with strangers all the time.” Although she did, but that was not the point.

[dragonprinceling-deactivated201]

Interesting. In Ao Feng’s experience, those born to the sea were bound to it, though he supposed this goddess or demigoddess was still bound to it in her own way. “I used to be a dragon of the sea,” he said quietly. He floated alongside her, careful to give her personal space. “My father was the Dragon King of China, so we lived underwater.”

[pleasureableaphrodite]

Aphrodite turned her head slightly to look at the person next to her. She was used to people being older than they appeared, but she had never met a dragon before. “That sounds amazing. What was it like?” 

[dragonprinceling-deactivated201]

Ao Feng hadn’t spent nearly as much time around Western goddesses as one would expect in the years he had lived on the island. Thus, it was a mild shock when she threw her clothes off, a shock that quickly went away as he answered her question by diving into the water. His body moved sinuously as it did when he was a dragon, and he flipped in the water to change directions before he came back to the surface. “Are you a sea goddess or creature, then?” He asked, curious.

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“Not really,” she shrugged. She wasn’t a sea goddess the way Amphitrite or the Nymphs were. “I was just born in the sea. Created from the sea foam. So I’ve always felt connected to it, you know?” Aphrodite floated on her back, letting the waves rock her as she stared at the sky. “How about you? You seem to have quite the affinity with the sea.”

     “Under the sun?”

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“If you’re offering.”

[persephxnc-deactivated20160512]

“ Aphrodite, that sounds like an excellent idea. I would love to join you, if you don’t mind. Just as long as I don’t have to go change into swimming attire. It’s very little material. ”

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“You know that clothes with me are always optional, dear.” She scrunched up her nose. “Besides, we can swim in our underwear, there’s really no difference between the two. Do you remember when we used to swim naked? What a shame people started to be ashamed of their bodies.”

[athene-of-olympus-blog]

“I am so happy you feel that way Aphrodite.” Athena said her eyes flickering back down to her manuscript. “But I am sure you can find more interesting people on this island, perhaps they will be even happier to see you.” 

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“You’re one of the most interesting people I know, Athena.” Aphrodite smiled. “And besides, since you posed the question I am interested it what exactly you’re researching.”

[dragonprinceling-deactivated201]

“I suppose I’m in good hands, then.” Or, rather, she would be, if she weren’t a sea goddess or creature. “Ladies first?” 

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“Naturally,” Aphrodite laughed as she threw her clothes off and ran into the water. She had been born of the water so every time she was near it it was like the first time. The waves crashing around her body made her feel alive and calm. She didn’t know how to tell anyone else, though once she confided it in Poseidon and he knew exactly what she was talking about. “Are you coming in?” She turned back to the boy. “The water is lovely.”

“Pretty sure they’d catch you quick. They have tails, remember?”

[pleasureableaphrodite]

“Potato, tomato, Enyo.” Aphrodite giggled. “Besides, it’s fun and they’re not as bad as everyone says.”
