(Extra scene) Aphrodite & Athena.

Chapter 22 Extra scenes (Olympus):

As the sun cast its golden glow across Mount Olympus, the grand palace of the gods buzzed with activity and idle chatter. In one of its many opulent sitting rooms, luxurious couches and divan beds were scattered about, occupied by various deities engaged in their routines. Hermes darted through, spreading news; Hera tended lovingly to her sacred garden visible through the open colonnades; and Artemis hunched over scrolls, her studious focus unbroken.

Amid this divine tableau, Aphrodite reclined languidly on a mound of silken pillows, a golden cup of wine in her hand and a sly smile playing on her lips. Her gaze wandered over the room with an air of satisfaction, her posture radiating ease, until her attention fixed on Athena entering through the arched doorway.

Athena’s stormy-gray eyes swept over the gathering, assessing, before narrowing slightly at the sight of Aphrodite. Her steps were purposeful, her bearing unyielding.

“Sister,” Athena greeted coolly, her tone measured, though her posture betrayed a faint tension.

“Why, Athena,” Aphrodite purred, rising with deliberate grace. “Fancy seeing you here. I was thinking you were still enjoying your time with mortals, such a wonderful night for them, wouldn't you say?” Each word dripped with honeyed charm, though there was a subtle venom behind her teasing tone.

The other gods, sensing the brewing storm, vacated the room under the pretense of their own tasks. Hermes, grinning mischievously, winked at both goddesses as he passed. “You two play nice now,” he quipped before vanishing.

“Indeed,” Athena replied, her voice clipped. “My time among the mortals has been... enlightening.” Her gaze locked onto Aphrodite’s as she approached, the tension between them palpable.

Knowing full well of Aphrodite's insatiable nature.
Aphrodite’s grin widened as she noted the subtle challenge in Athena’s tone. “Enlightening, you say? And I trust you’ve been keeping yourself busy with... higher pursuits?”

“Of course,” Athena answered, her tone even. “Though I imagine your pursuits have been more... indulgent.”

A mischievous grinned flashed on Aphrodite’s lips “Oh you know... I got to see our Chosen down there with the Oracle, even gave him a little of my favour to help him unlock one of his memories... I gotta say, I did a mighty fine work helping with making his body look as the perfect specimen, you know... when we created him and give him a little bit of our power..." Aphrodite said with her Natural Teasing tone mixed with mischief.

Athena’s jaw tightened, though her expression remained impassive. “Your favor,” she repeated, her voice cold. “And what, pray tell, did your essence contribute when we created him?”

Aphrodite's moved closer to the edge of her bed, a sultry smirk forming on her hot lips "Oh you know little things... an Olympic physique and... The best cock this side of the Olympus, but you know that probably" The last phrase was challenging and Mocking Athena “And well I couldn’t help myself… I might have give him some of the pleasure only I could create… seeing someone else give that same pleasure to others it’s just… Beautiful.”

Athena’s expression hardened, though there was a faint flush to her cheeks. “Was that necessary?” she demanded. “He is meant for more than mere pleasure.” Though she tried to sound stern, her tone betrayed her own lingering thrill.

With a sultry laugh, Aphrodite circled around Athena, trailing a finger along her arm "Need I remind you, dear sister, pleasure IS my domain. I thought since he was going to have the best part of each god of the Olympus then I had to give him everything I represent... Love, Desire, Passion and Fertility..." She said, each of the last final words Aphrodite said carried a sultry accent and tone. “I thought you wanted the best for him, so I gave him the best of me.” She added teasing her fellow goddess.

Athena’s lips pressed into a thin line. “He is destined for greater things. Wisdom and reason will guide him, not base indulgence.” Athena's eyes followed Aphrodite's teasing movement, a small shiver running through her as the divine attributes roll off those full lips with such tempting emphasis.

Aphrodite’s laugh grew louder as she circled Athena, her fingers trailing lightly along her armored shoulder. “And yet,” she whispered, “you don’t deny that my contributions might serve him well in... other ways.” Her words lingered in the air, heavy with insinuation.

"Love, desire, passion..." She repeats slowly, looking away briefly before meeting that tempting gaze again. "And fertility...Is that what you think this is about then?" Athena challenges, pushing back against the insinuation. "I seek wisdom in him. A mind capable of strategy, of reason." She insisted, though even to her own ears there's an uncertainty creeping in, a part that wonders if she's being too quick to dismiss Aphrodite's gifts. “He should not fall under the proud vanity that is causing our current problems.”

Aphrodite laughed with her sultry tone at Athena’s words “You are mistaken Athena, I only want what’s best for him” Athena raised her eyebrow at her not fully believing her words “I’m serious. Despite my closeness to Ares I think he’s mistaken here and your plan is the right course of action in this war and well Kayn already has proved himself to be everything we hoped and more… you don't want him to enjoy himself with all we bring to the table? When all his memories and strength come back, he's going to be the most powerful of all of us... The least I could do when I gave him my powers is filling those… pieces you overlooked, you know the ones that will help him on what’s truly important.”

“I think you and I have different meanings of what we consider to be important.” Athena said, irritated.

“Do we? I think you enjoy my handy work on him.” She said teasing Athena’s attraction to him. "well... You used to..."

"Careful. You are stepping on dangerous ground." Athena threatened, her gaze piercing Aphrodite.

"Am I? I could never tell, I thought you only had good memories of those days." She said mischievously but there was a tingle on genuine surprise at Athena's expressions.

"Not anymore... At least not as much as I would like to." She muttered hiding her face for a second,
"One way or another, He's more than just visually enticing thanks to your 'generosity', I grant you that." She relented begrudgingly. A muscle in Athena's jaw twitched as she grappled internally with this reality. "But once he remembers..." She trailed off, voice trailing with it as she imagines the full extent of Aphrodite's enhancements unveiled. "What then?" Athena questions, her competitive spirit clashing with curiosity. Aphrodite seductive as poisonous words took effect on Athena's perception as time seemed to slow as it sounded more tempting by the minute.

"He'll be unparalleled, in body and mind." She stated firmly, as if daring them both to deny it. Aphrodite smirked again, leaning in close to whisper into Athena's ear with a confident purr "And then... I will let him give me the best fuck I will ever have, you can join if you want...I'm sure he would love to fuck this perfect body as well" Aphrodite purred teasingly as grabbing Athena's buttcheeks, trying her best to seduce her. Breaking the barriers Athena has over her attraction. Athena was hypnotized for a moment then realising what was happening she pushed Aphrodite away and onto the bed.

“Your words are like venom, viper.” Athena said her gaze never breaks as she started walking away indignant at her fellow goddess actions and demeanour.

Aphrodite landed gracefully, laughing as she propped herself up on her elbows. “Oh, Athena,” she said with a mock pout. “You really should let yourself indulge a little. It might do wonders for that tension you carry. You know you want a taste too... Or have you forgotten how much you used to enjoy it?”

Athena shot her one final glare, her cheeks faintly flushed, before storming towards the exit. “Until next time, sister dear!” Aphrodite called after her, her laughter echoing through the room.

Athena paused in the doorway, her back rigid. “A taste...” she muttered under her breath with the lingering taste of her early visit to him, her voice barely audible. With a sharp shake of her head, she continued onward, her heart pounding reminiscing of the time back when she used to enjoy Kayn's company.
