"Don't apologize," I interjected. "You're right. You do need time to get over what you've been through. I just want you to know you don't have to go through it by yourself."
"Thanks," she said, swallowing. "That helps."
"Besides, like your letter said, we need to be able to share everything with each other if we're really going to be together. Frankly, I'm no more ready to share my secret with you than you are to share yours with me, but prom is eight or nine months away. I will be."
"Me too," Tara smiled again. I took one look and stepped back. Her smile definitely did things to me. She saw my reaction and actually laughed.
"I'd better leave," I said. "Otherwise I won't be able to stop myself from kissing you again."
"Yes, you'd better," Tara said, but her eyes said something else entirely. I shook my head and backed away. At that moment I was almost sure that if I kissed her again she'd share her secret with me, ready or not. I wanted to hear it and let her know that it didn't matter, but if I did I'd have to share mine with her. I couldn't do that. At least not until whatever was going on with the gods ran its course. Besides, I knew she wasn't really ready to tell me. Last night had been far more traumatic to her than she was willing to admit.. Tara had a lot to work through before she was ready for a relationship.
"I'll see you at prom," I said.
"You'll see me at school tomorrow," she smiled. "I mean, it's just not a big enough school that we can avoid each other forever."
"At least we don't have any classes together."
"There is that," she said, laughing at me with her eyes.
"This is going to be tough," I sighed. "You'd better appreciate it!"
She laughed and I smiled. I liked when I made her laugh. I was certain about almost nothing in my life with the exception of Tara. Thankfully, she was enough. I turned and went back to my cab.
"Girlfriend?" the cabby asked as we pulled away from the curb.
"Future wife," I said confidently. It was true too, unless the Fates' plans got in the way, which reminded me. I looked out the cab's window and up at the sky. 'We need to talk. I'm ready and willing to do whatever's necessary to get you all out of my life.'
I could have sworn I saw three old women momentarily looking down at me from the clouds and smiling in satisfaction. A wind came and the clouds shifted, but I got the message. So be it. I was a man in a mission and that mission was Tara. 'Bring it on!'

lemonsqueezie4 months agoI gotta say, this chapter was beyond fucked up! Raped by her uncle, then gang-raped in front of her boyfriend, that's way over the line. It doesn't fit with the rest of the story either. Just fucked up! I honestly don't know if I wanna keep reading.
Evil_Monarch11 months agoinvesting so much time in this story only for the main character's girl to be gang-raped! dropping this shit and fuck you author and your cuckold fantasies
inka222212 months agoI always hated greek gods with a passion. Aside from Hephaestus, they are basically the most psychopathic evil deities I can think of or think up.
Anonymousover 1 year agoWorst tonal change in the plot. First three parts were really good. Huge letdown
bigurnover 1 year agoWe'll, that chapter was a waste of time. Two meaningless orgies, one willing and one a gangbang rape. Hard to see this advancing the storyline.
Anonymousover 1 year agoWow, what a change in plot direction. Unexpected but I'm interested to see what happens next. Well written series so far and keeps me guessing. Thanks for writing.
Anonymousabout 2 years agoStory really went off the rails here. I'm hanging on, the story is currently foggy and less appealing.
Anonymousover 2 years agoWas really loving this but now it's lost it's luster. I wasn't looking for a story of the greek pantheon screwing over one guy. 2*
bobareenoabout 3 years agoReally a shame that the author lost the interesting thread of being back in high school and instead focused on gods interfering with humans, which has little to no resonance as most of us haven't been fucked with by gods. When the gods were just an excuse for the adventure the adventure was fun, and I enjoyed the first couple of chapters, but the shark got jumped when gods versus humans became the focus, and it is a slog now.
Anonymousabout 3 years agoThis chapter really sucked. Having a rape victim go through a forced gangbang was abhorrent. I'm not really sure if I want to go thru with a story which until this chapter was really good.
haarekover 3 years agoSo sad I wasted time reading the rest of this.. Giving us a long sec scene while we know a main character with a traumatic rape history is being raped of stage is just too clueless. Having her then accept it and leave. I don't know how this chapter ends or how the story goes from here. I don't care to find out. Chapter o e should come with a trigger warning.
Ryanrahlover 3 years agoI love this story. Youre clearly a good writer and i would love any links to further work youve done outside of literotica.
That said, i wanted to say a few things. There have been two major breaks in th story now. One is when John flees to Vegas and its the lesser of the two. The second is when the story of a man in his own past suddenly becomes the story of a man among divine beings. I think this chapter was really out of place here. Its not bad, its just written for a story that isnt this story. Even the criticism of the rape of Tara is easy to forgive if some context is different. As it is, im inclined to agree that its a strange choice as it just puts off something that was already being put off and you could easily have her just not be ready yet. Delaying for her discomfort of an existing trauma deepens it, whereas giving her an entirely new trauma is retreading things and is mostly just serving to make the theme and plot less subtle.
Anyway, as i was saying, i think the main draw of this story is the wonderful character development and world building you were executing at the level of 'old man back in high school'. That concept on its own is really good. In fact, if you never mentioned gods again after having the initial inciting incident utilize them, that to me would be a better story. Leaning into the god drama and magic only serve to detract from the interpersonal stuff and lessen the initial mystery. I hope you are well.
