Finally being reunited with Persephone and being able remain by his beloved side was like a dream for Hades; he felt as thrilled as he had in a long time. Narcissus was adorable, mindful, affectionate, and kind; compliments were countless to define him. 

The forbidden relationship aspect made things even more exciting. Narcissus was no longer Holden's student, but it was still a relationship between a professor and a student from the same college; even though they avoided contact within the institution and the young Holden was the official boyfriend outside of it, the exchange of glances was unavoidable, and the sparkle between the two of them were clearly noticeable.  

They'd already been together for six months, nearly seven, and Hades realized that for the first time, he wouldn't have to suffer through his beloved's absence, they wouldn't have to be separated for six months, he wouldn't have to see his beloved tragically disappear, he could give and receive all the love he deserved. Life was good again. 

Every month, they celebrated a new dating anniversary; the seventh month would be marked by a special supper that Narcissus insisted on cooking at the older one house. Despite the fact that Hades was an excellent cook who often cooked meals for the two of them, having trained for this purpose for years, the young man insisted on doing something special. 

Celebrating every month seemed foolish, but for Holden and Narcissus, who had endured so much and waited so long, each day was unique and special, deserving of a celebration! 

In the spacious luxurious apartment, Hades was waiting for his sweetheart; they had agreed to meet at 7 p.m., but it was already 8:30 p.m. and still no Narcissus! For him, who had seen his beloved die numerous times, having to wait without any news from his whereabouts was excruciating! When the bell rang, Holden's heart halted and a shiver rushed down his spine. Could this be bad news? Narcissus had the door key and would have no reason to ring the bell. 

A frightened Hades walked toward the door, fearing the worst, and slowly opened it in an attempt to postpone what was about to unfold, only to see a smiling Narcissus holding a large package. 

"Honey, what took you so long?" "This heavy thing nearly killed me!" Narcissus exclaimed, stepping into the house and leaving the package by the door. 

Holden sighed while hugging his boyfriend from behind, happy he was fine, glad he could touch and feel him, and that nothing went amiss. 

"Did you miss me that much?" Narcissus asked, giggling, before kissing him. "Me too." 

"You took your time." It was more of a statement than a complaint, and Narcissus knew that if he didn't keep Hades updated, Hades became frightened and worried that something horrible would happen, but they were fine, and there was no reason to fret.  

"I went to get some stuff to decorate your apartment, but I didn't realize they were so heavy, I couldn't even pick up my phone, sorry, I didn't realize it would take so long to get here," Narcissus said anxiously, biting his lower lip, which seemed more like an invitation rather than a sign of distress. 

"Okay, you can arrange things later. Shall we eat? I'm hungry," said Holden, leading Narcissus to the kitchen. 

"Oh, you really want to eat?" asked Narcissus, rather awkwardly. 

"What do you mean? Of course I want to eat! You said you'd cook something tasty for me," Hades folded his arms and stared incredulously at Narcissus. 

"Well, in my defense, I never said that I would cook, I said that I would give you something delicious," Narcissus answered with a giggle. 

"Same difference," Hades complained. 

Narcissus laughed softly at his boyfriend's naivete. When he was Persephone, he was the innocent one, blind to his husband's insinuations, but a lot of time has passed and Hades appears to have forgotten how much he enjoyed teasing. The young man sat on the counter, slowly spread his legs and said with a mischievous look:

"Would you accept me as your dinner, then?" 

Hades, speechless, just embraced his boyfriend. His long-forgotten hunger came back and he was ready to devour him. In all this time dating, they spent a lot of time together and the most they did was make out, but they had never gone further and Holden himself had never tried anything. 

After so many years of tragedies and searching for a way out to that curse, he had sort of abandoned his sexual desires, keeping them hidden and locked in a place he didn't even remember anymore; all he wanted was for Persephone to live well and be happy, and when he achieved that goal, he felt satiated. He even had natural reactions to his boyfriend, but it appeared that his libido had been blocked until that point, until he heard those words.

Narcissus gasped taken aback by a voracious kiss; he had waited a long time for this, having fallen in love with Holden without knowing about their previous lives, he had erotic dreams and luscious thoughts about his so called friend, even without knowing what his face looked like. After meeting him in person his desire only increased, so on their first date he ended up giving him an impulsive hug, but his real desire was to kiss him. When they kissed for the first time, Narcissus felt he was going to die from how fast his heart was beating, and after remembering everything and holding Hades in his arms, it appeared that his entire body was submerged in a volcano about to burst. 

He wanted all of the moments he had fantasized about with Holden to come true, especially after remembering the pleasure to share the bed with him, but Narcissus was a virgin and a man in this lifetime, sexual relations works differently between men and he was afraid to make the first move. After several months of provoking his boyfriend's desires, giving hints, and insinuating himself, nothing worked; it was then that the decision to take the first move was made, and he got his reward for it. 

The scent and taste of Narcissus had never been more fascinating for Hades; without all the restraints he had placed upon himself all these years, he felt a voracious desire to have him under him, to feel every inch of his skin, to hear his moans and pleas as he filled him with all his passion. 

The hands that traveled across the young man's body swiftly stripped away every piece of clothing that prevented him from feeling the warmth of his smooth skin. Hades' lips navigated over Narcissus's body, leaving a trail of kisses, bites, and meticulous licks that elicited groans and gasps. 

While lying on the counter receiving caresses, Narcissus felt his stomach starting to bubble, his ears heat up, and his mouth instinctively cry out for his boyfriend. Holden's gaze was as hot as his mouth, and even though it did not focus on any particular area, the simple contact made the young man shiver. 

Hearing his name slip so frantically from his boyfriend's lips got Hades even more thrilled; he could feel how much Narcissus craved him, how much he had yearned for it. 

Narcissus's fingers became entwined in Holden's dark hair as he received gentle nibbles to his inner thigh; vibrations radiated to his groin, leaving his aroused shaft hard. 

The hot breath touched the tip of Narcissus's prick, making him gasp for air, the wet tongue traveled its entire length; it was a pleasant and unique feeling, unlike when he touched himself; for a brief moment, he wanted to ask how Holden had learned to do all that, but his mind went blank when his cock touched the roof of his boyfriend's mouth and then the bottom of his throat. 

"You're so fucking good at it," Narcissus groaned. 

In response, Hades increased the rate at which he gulped him in, looking ravenous and vicious, as if only his actions could satiate his need, prompting Narcissus's intense ejaculation to reach his throat.

"I can't believe that even your cum tastes good," Hades remarked, licking his lips. 

"Maybe it's the vestiges of my divine essence," Narcissus said with a laugh. "Cause I don't think it's humanly possible that someone's cum tastes good." 

"You have always had a sweet taste," Hades whispered in Narcissus's ear, making him tremble. 

"Now that you have tasted me, can I feel you inside me?" seemed like a simple request, but it was more like a plea; Narcissus was desperate to be filled by Hades, and at that moment, the urge grew even stronger. 

"I don't have condoms and lube," Hades said, baffled; he wasn't anticipating having this kind of relationship with Narcissus, and after so long in abstinence, he had forgotten what sex was like. 

"Why don't you look inside the package I bought?" Narcissus suggested. 

Puzzled, Hades did as instructed, he took the package to the counter and opened it. To his amazement, there were condoms, lube and a variety of sex toys in it. 

"How long have you been planning this?" Hades inquired while opening a condom, placing it onto his fingers, and pouring lube. 

"Quite some tim..." Narcissus's speech was interrupted by his own moan as he felt the wet and warm touch of Hades' tongue go from his perineum to his entrance. He stimulated him with exceptional skill, while enjoying the sounds Narcissus made with each movement, carefully penetrating him with a finger shortly after. The pace was slow and made Narcissus impatient; it was not the first time Persephone's anus was penetrated, but it was Narcissus's first time, as well as his first time having a prostate. Earlier, it seemed like his body would melt in Hades' hands, but now it seems like it was going to burst.

Waves rushed through his body as Hades brushed him lightly. Two fingers caressed his insides till his entire body trembled, yet he wanted more, he wanted to feel everything. 

"Please, honey, hurry up and put it in," Narcissus begged again. "Please, Hades." 

"You are too impatient today," Hades teases. 

Narcissus pulled Hades in for a kiss, unable to wait any longer. Wrapping his legs around his boyfriend's waist, he drew him closer, feeling the hot tip touch his entrance. 

"I know you want it too," Narcissus muttered, his lips still firmly pressed against Hades. "Let me ride you." 

Hades lifted Narcissus from the counter, got another condom, and headed to the couch with his boyfriend in his lap, laying down while receiving kisses all over his neck. After struggling to put on the condom, he said:

"It's all yours, as you wish." 

Looking at it, the thing Narcissus wanted so much, he started to question if he would really be able to ride him. Eventually, he chooses to trust his instincts and distant memories of past times. With one hand, he slipped the hot pulsing cock in his entrance, and with the other, he leaned on Hades's chest, gradually lowering himself until he was completely full. Slowly rocking his hips, he enjoyed his boyfriend's lust-filled expression, as if he was looking at the most precious thing in the world, that he craved it with all his might. 

Narcissus's movements escalated, sweat dripped down his back and chest. The sounds of sex filled the entire room; they were dancing in sync to a hot rhythm, pursuing mutual pleasure, which didn't take much more to achieve. 

It was Hades' first time as a human, with a man, and Narcissus's first time in that body, but despite the fact that their bodies were different, nothing seemed to have changed; the love, affection, and admiration were still there, and that night they were even more certain of how much they wanted to be together for the rest of their lives and the ones after that.
