His fingers laid under her chin and then tilted her head back so she could stare right at him as he stared at her back. Even when she was so hurt he couldn’t help but find her incredible looking. Hades brushed a few strands out of her face and then gave a small smile. “Trish, he isn’t worth it. You are worth so much and if he couldn’t see that then someone else will. You will be one man’s treasure,” he whispered before laying his lips on hers.
Melting into his kiss, she grasped the fabric of his shirt and pulled him closer. The kiss remained sweet and tender and just about everything that they’ve never done. But it wasn’t a normal kiss for them. This wasn’t their usual need. This was reassuring and comforting. It was caring. Her hand trailed up and cupped the side of his face, pulling away barely enough to talk. They remained nose to nose, “Thank you,” she murmured against his lips. She’d missed him so damn much.

“Whenever I stare into your eyes, I catch a glimpse of heaven in those glistening eyes of yours. I find my paradise.” Hades leaned down slightly to press a soft, loving kiss on her lips before pulling back to smile over at her. “That’s why I like, I mean love looking into your eyes,” he whispered.
He was genuinely in love with her, he wasn’t playing her. And each and every day he proved as much and more. Her eyes flickered away from his momentarily, a small bashful moment before she regained eye contact, “That’s interesting…because I see everything in yours.”

Hades halted his steps and caught how her dark hair blew casually against the passing wind while the ends of her light jacket fluttered around playfully. When she turned around he almost fell to the ground with how weak his knees became within seconds of her sight. The way her eyes glowed so brightly, her skin shone flawlessly under the right amount of light hitting her, and the overall way her face expressed such happiness. Hades made his way towards the balcony and wrapped his arms around her before placing a very soft, passionate kiss against her lips. “It’s sinking in slowly though I find myself distracted by you then anything else,” he explained with a small chuckle.
Trish turned around to find Hades looking at her, admiring her more like, and she was glad to be leaning against the railing for her knees nearly buckled. The loving expression hit her eyes first before tugging a soft smile at her lips, here he was granted with an amazing view of Athens and his eyes were only on her. Her breath hitched in her throat, love overpowering all other emotions. The cool ocean breeze, the soft fluttering of her dress, if she didn’t know any better she’d have thought that was in a fairy tale.
