The Greek Warrior's Surprise

It had been a long, hard day of fighting the Persians. They ambushed us and we were outnumbered 3 to 1, and our captain was shot and killed by an arrow soon into the battle. We seemed to be at the final curtain for sure, but somehow, we won. Some say it was the propitiations of the gods, others luck, and still others our rigorous training. We mourned our captain's heroism and guidance as we burned his body on the pyre and hung his helmet on his sword, then I retreated to my room and prepared to offer my thanks to the gods.

"Athena, thank you for watching over us and helping us defeat our enemies," I prayed solemnly.

"You have fought valiantly, hero," a woman said in front of me. "I would like to return your gratitude tenfold."

She sat in front of me completely nude, observing me. It was impossible. I'd heard of people having visions of the gods, but none of this seemed real. Whomever I was seeing, she was a woman of incredible beauty...as if she had stepped right out of a Homeric hymn.

"It can't be..." I said softty, hardly having the breath to reply.

"Yes, I am Athena," she replied. "There is no need to wince nor grovel. You have earned your place here. Come."

"But you are a noble virgin," I said to her.

"'Tis noble to be a virgin? Long have I had no desire to bed a man, but I see fit to change that fate now. O loyal devotee of mine, I request you take me here...but go easy, please? I've never done this before."

"Your will is my command, my goddess," I replied, timidly joining her.

"Erastos [name means "beloved"], show me the depth of your devotion," Athena beckoned.

Being in bed with her naked was too much to bear, but her assuring voice and her smile dissolved my worries. I held my divine protector close, and our lips touched. It was weird to imagine that over thousands of years, no other man had ever tasted her kiss. It tasted like nectar, like the sweetest fruit. I then prepared to give her a lesson in what I wasn’t sure Daddy taught her. I got up and prepared myself, but she was timid.

“What’s wrong?” I asked.

“Nothing, my love...it’s just that I’m still not used to being pleasured by a man. Kiss me again, please.”

I savored her lips once more. I could feel her starting to caress my dick, which felt like it was made of adamantium. By Zeus above, both Athena and her kiss were so damn hot.

“I love the beautiful sound of your voice when you pray to me...and how you tell me you love me. I’d hear you and long to taste your lips...I remember when you were little, you snuck off to my temple and told my statue you wanted to marry me, then you kissed it!”

“Yeah, and when my parents told me how worried they were, I told them not to worry because you were watching over me.”

I climbed back up and started licking her really cute navel, losing myself in its beautiful curves. It was so delicious, just like her kiss. I then started sucking on her nipples, wishing I could drink some of her wisdom.

“Your breasts are so supple,” I told her.

“Go easy, okay?” she replied.

I cupped and squeezed them, savoring the feel of her. I then moved over to her pussy and pried it open with my fingers. It looked so divine and, I noticed, warm and wet for me.

“My devotion pleases you, my goddess?” I asked.

“Yes! Make me feel like Aphrodite!”

“You deserve better than even that.”

My tongue started to gently toy with her clit. Her breathing hastened, and she was noticeably getting more wet. The inside of her was so delicious...it was like drinking nectar from her pussy.

“Harder, please!” she cried.

I began licking her pussy more forcefully. It was so warm now. Her breathing had gotten intense, and her movements were so strong that I had to hold on to her to stay in place.

“Holy fuck, Erastos! By Zeus, that feels good!”

She continued to scream for a little while, then her body became limp and her breathing softened. I joined her on my bed.

“So this is what sex is like,” she said, panting. “Nobody told me it was this tiring, but damn, it feels so good.”

“Enjoying your first time?” I asked.

“You were worth waiting for, my love,” she answered. “Now I want to reward your reverence. Please, let me taste your dick.”

I shifted my waist up the bed so that she could reach my penis. She began caressing it tenderly with her hand.

“Do you love my touch? Would you like me to continue?”

“Your hand is so soft, my goddess,” I replied. “Please, go on.”

She closed her mouth around the end of my rock-hard boner and began sucking as her hand continued to stimulate me. I was getting lost in the feel of her lips, breath, and tongue on my dick. Even though she was inexperienced, it still felt so good.

“Damn, that feels amazing, my lady!” I cried.

She continued with that for a little while, then climbed up with her back up and her pussy facing me.

“Erastos, please fuck me!” she cried, prying it open invitingly.

I readied my dick, then mounted her with burning anticipation. I was boning her doggy-style while she was screaming.

“I’m gonna cum, my lady!” I cried.

“Please!” she replied.

Soon, I filled up her lovely pussy, then we lay there, taking each other in.

“I wasn’t sure whether to trust a man to bed me, but I’m glad I chose you,” she said. “I only wish I could please you like Aphrodite could.”

“I would never choose her over you, Athena. I only want to serve you.”

“I want to be your protector, not your master. Honestly, I don’t deserve to have followers like you.”

“Of course you do!”

“After what happened to Pallas, I’m not sure what I deserve anymore,” Athena lamented. “I’m not even sure I deserve to live.”

“I don’t think she’d want you living your life in regret,” I assured her. “She’d want the best for you.”

“You really think so?”

“That’s how I’d feel. You should go see her. I could go with you, if you wanted...unless I’m not allowed to go.”

“That sounds nice,” Athena replied, barely managing a smile.

“You think the captain’s in Elysium with her?” I asked.

“I can’t say,” she answered. “That’s for Hades to decide, not me.”

“I remember Demeter was his protector,” I continued. He was quite loyal to her, though I was quite sure they never fucked. “What’s Demeter like?”

“Look,” Athena beckoned. She conjured an image of what looked like a beautiful middle-aged woman next to a fireplace. The scene looked very cozy.

“She does look nice,” I replied.

“I’m tired, my love,” she said. “Good night.”

“Sleep well, my goddess.” We kissed, then let the god of sleep have his way with us.

I woke up the next morning to see that Athena was still in the room, ready to leave.

“Are you ready?” she asked me.

“As ready as I’ll ever be, my lady,” I answered. “I’m nervous, but I trust you.”

“My uncle Hades is pretty strict, but he’s actually quite nice,” she assured me.

The two of us then left. We then made it to Charon the ferryman.

“You seek passage to the land of the dead, boy?” he asked.

“He’s with me,” Athena replied sternly.

“Present your payment,” Charon demanded.

I gave him a coin, then he set sail. After a little while, we saw Cerberus the three-headed dog standing watch over the entrance to the underworld.

“Don’t be afraid, my love,” Athena assured me. “Stay close.”

Hades was seated on a throne not far beyond.

“What is your business, my niece?” he asked us.

“We would like to see Pallas,” she answered.

“You know the way,” Hades replied. “As for you, proceed, but remember that the living cannot remain in the land of the dead.”

“Don’t worry, Hades,” Athena said. “I know the rules.”

“I know,” Hades replied with a trusting smile.

Athena led me through a dark, creepy area filled with dead spirits.

“This is the place where the people who are neither good nor bad go?” I asked her.

“Yes,” she answered. “Let’s keep going.”

After a little while of hiking, we came to a hill that Athena began to climb. As we ascended, everything was getting brighter. Nothing could prepare me for what I could see from the top. I was looking down upon beautiful fertile fields with flowers stretching far into the distance, with flowing rivers cutting through them. There were gorgeous cobblestone paths, with some leading toward a beautiful-looking city overseen by a marvelous large palace. Pleasant sunlight shined upon my face as the birds sang. I had heard about this place in bards’ songs, but I never expected to see it with my own mortal eyes. I couldn’t hold it back anymore...I began to cry.

“Welcome to Elysium, my love,” Athena said, comforting me.

“I’m so glad I got to share this moment with you, Athena,” I said, embracing her.

She let me take it all in, then had me follow her down to the fields. We didn’t get far before someone stopped us.

“Athena!” a young woman cried out, running toward her. Her clothes and hairstyle looked a bit dated. “I thought I’d never see you here!”

“Pallas, I’ve missed you!” Athena replied, embracing her. The two women were weeping profusely.

“So you’re not mad?” Athena asked her as she let go.

“Mad about what? A stupid accident that happened thousands of years ago? That’s what’s been holding you back? Theenee, you have to move on. Live for us both. Anyway, who’s this man? I’ve never seen you go around with men before.”

“Pallas, this is Erastos, one of my most devout followers. He talked me into coming here.”

“Is that so? It’s a pleasure, Erastos. Thank you for helping Theenee grow up. Don’t get any ideas, though. She may be pretty, but she’s never going to bed you.”

“Thanks,” I replied. “I’ll keep that in mind.”

Nevertheless, I saw Athena whisper something to her. I couldn’t hear it, but I already knew what it was. Pallas covered her mouth in shock.

“Theenee, you really have grown up,” she finally replied. “Take good care of her, okay, Erastos?”

“I promise,” I answered before we parted ways. “And here I thought you were the protector.”

“Is there any business you have here?” Athena asked.

“I wouldn’t mind seeing if the captain is here,” I replied.

“We should look for him, then,” she said.

We went to the city and saw him outside his house.

“Captain!” I exclaimed.

“If it isn’t the little scholar!” he replied. “I thought you’d be here. We never stood a chance against those bastards…”

“Captain, I’m not dead,” I said. “We won! We drove them off!”

“How in the name of Zeus did you pull that off!?”

“We haven’t figured that part out yet…”

“Come, Erastos! Let me show you my place!”

With that, he let us in his house. It gave me a shock when I came in.

“Demeter!?”

“No, son, it’s not her. It’s a nymph, but man, she can still cook! Come! Make yourselves comfortable!”

We sat down to talk.

“Been reading anything good lately, little scholar? Baby, when I knew Erastos, he was always burying that head of his in something!”

“Oh, yes. Lately, I’ve been reading Insights on Heracles by Democritus. It is such a fascinating read...I never realized that the tale of the Lernaean hydra could be viewed as a metaphor for population dynamics!”

“Erastos, I swear, you’re going to make my head explode talking about that stuff. Discuss it with Athena here. Athena, our little scholar is really devoted to you.”

“He is one of my most loyal followers,” she replied. “He’s done so much for me.”

Soon, the Demeter nymph plated out food for all of us.

“Athena, I’m sure it’s not as good as ambrosia, but it’ll have to do,” the captain said.

“It’s very good,” she replied.

“But I thought in Elysium, you didn’t have to eat,” I said in confusion.

“We don’t have to,” the captain clarified, “but what’s the fun in living without food?”

“You got me there!”

“Anyway, not only does this lady cook, she keeps the night life interesting, if you catch my drift.”

“So you do like older women!” I replied.

“Well, you like a virgin goddess, so I guess you’re just out of luck,” he said. “I’m sure you’ll find someone.”

“Oh, we’ve had our way with each other,” I replied.

“Erastos, I like you, but you are crazy if you think I won’t see through that one. I never took you for a prideful man, but if you’re going to go that route, you could say you boned Aphrodite. At least that’s a lie I could play along with.”

“Sir, I’m not that kind of man,” I protested.

“He’s telling the truth,” Athena added.

“Well, if Athena says it, it must be so. Erastos, you are full of surprises. Honey, you should give him seconds just for that. What an honor...one of my men boning Athena...”

I continued shooting the bull with him over our meal, then he sent us off.

“It’s going to be hard to say goodbye to this place,” I said to Athena.

“I’m sure it’ll only be temporary, my darling,” she replied. “Come. Let’s get you home.”

“If I do live here, I hope you’ll visit,” I said.

“Of course, my love,” she said, then she sealed it with a kiss. I went home with her, hoping for another night of pleasure.
