Zeus (Frozen Origin) (15 page)

The sat
ellite phone rang so he answered it which earned him a scowl from his love. It was a high ranking diplomat in Washington. Senator Tyler was coming to visit to share information with them. The husky voice was clearly feminine but he was certain she had said she was the senator not his secretary. She would arrive in the morning which gave them time to clean up the mess and question the prisoners. He might be free but his life was crazier than it had ever been before. He looked at his lover thinking he could deal with crazy as long as he had her warming his bed.

The rest of the day was spent bringing order to the facility and repairing the damage created by the attack. They had met all together and in small groups, everyone was concerned that the attacks would be continuous even though they were loosing most of their people each time. Security improvements were discussed and implemented right away, but still the
re was no sense of safety with the threat being unknown. Tomorrow, the senator would arrive causing even more security concerns that had to be dealt with. The day dragged on, but a lot was accomplished.

The sound of helicopters filled the air making Zeus wonder if this was their visitor or another attack. Sierra was calm at his side showing no signs of the trouble he looked for. He had come to rely on her sixth sense completely in such a short time. She leaned into him saying, “The senator is in one helicopter, the other is security.”

It calmed him that she knew that so he smiled at her then turned to wait for someone to come forward and greet him. He was only half surprised that the senator turned out to be a very attractive female probably in her mid to late thirties although she didn’t look it. He estimated her age slightly higher due to the position she held. Some of the gods who stood nearby ogled her but she ignored them, greeting him first formally, then giving Sierra a friendly hug. He couldn’t hear the greeting they exchanged since they whispered making him think they were hiding something. He got that feeling from Sierra often though he couldn’t imagine what she would hide from him.

He le
d the way back to the meeting room where they would have their discussion. “Senator, please take a seat. I’m not sure what you want to discuss unless it’s our recent attacks.” He was surprised that she met with him and Sierra alone. She was giving him a great deal of trust, or perhaps the trust was for Sierra.

“I have serious confidential matters to discuss with you. I need any coms or recording devices including cameras turned off.” She looked around for the first time showing signs of nervousness.

He took off his com as did Sierra. “There are no other devices in here that I know of.”

“Buzz has swept the facility for bugs, starting with this very room, Pris.”

“There are serious matters the government has chosen not to act on or to divulge to you.”

“That is no surprise.” Sierra said with disdain. She might love her country but she didn’t always like or respect those who ran it.

“They have had reports of other gods held at other facilities but have done nothing as of yet. There are at least two smaller facilities like this and a testing facility for what they call demons.”

“Demons?” Sierra asked confused.

“Failed gods,” Zeus said. “The ones they called failures that they said they destroyed. Do you know where they are?”

“What makes a god a failure?” Sierra ask
ed looking at Zeus.

“They can’t blend in with humans. They are too different, look too different, but apparently they have found uses for them after all. Origin would keep no one that didn’t earn their keep. We have always been told if we were no longer useful, our days were numbered but they always used the demons they said they destroyed as an example. Where are my brothers?”

“My information says Mexico but not far from California.”

“Isn’t that one of the countries that has pledged their support to us?” Zeus asked not understanding how that could be true.

“People and especially governments don’t always do what they say they will, but it is possible that only a faction of the government supports them or even that the government isn’t aware of their presence at all. Welcome to the world of politics and intrigue.” The senator said raising her hands up to indicate he was now in the middle of that world.

“The demons are our first priority because they are being tortured and I don’t
think they have been taught skills to defend themselves.” Zeus said looking at both females. The senator was an impressive female risking her career if not her life to help them. She reminded him of Sierra, funny that so far all the strong attractive females he had met reminded him of her. “Can you give me any details?”

She went to her briefcase pulling out a thick file. “All the information I have is in there including the supposed location. You have a lack of transportation and experience on these kind
s of missions. I might be able to loan you a couple helicopters, but more would be better. You need to plan well but Sierra will be able to help you better than anyone else I know. Remember, this conversation didn’t happen, we only discussed you buying some outdated military equipment starting with two helicopters and if you were willing to run some dark ops for the US which you are thinking over.”

“Should we?”
He asked and she stopped to look at him intently. “Should we run the ops?”

“I would check each op out before I accepted it. It will be difficult and controversial if they want you to do it. The helicopters will be delivered in a week for you to look at.” She paused probably noticing the anxious look on his face. “You can’t run of
f half cocked. It will probably be two weeks before you can safely carry out this mission. It does them no good if you are killed and they are punished for the attempt. Let Sierra’s team scout the location for you before you make an attempt.” He nodded knowing she was right but the thought that his brothers were being and had been for who knew how long, tortured and mistreated made rage flow through him. Nothing would make this right but freeing his brothers was the first step, vengeance was the second.

“We’ll get everything lined out so we can go scout out things tomorrow. We should stay to watch the site for a couple of days so we see what their security is and try to see if any of your failed gods are on s
ite or contact someone nearby who can.” Sierra said drawing Zeus’ attention. Once he looked at her it was hard to look away, she was so beautiful and tempting to him.

“I need to go now. I will try to get all the intel on the other two sites, they both
contain regular gods but those sites have smaller populations than this one. Maybe it would be best if it looks like locals attacked the demon site so they don’t move anyone from the other sites.”

“I can manage that. I have some contacts.”

“I knew you could, Sierra.” The senator gave Sierra a hug before leaving. Zeus didn’t know their relationship but they were obviously close. He wanted to ask her but he was afraid she wouldn’t tell him which would hurt him so he said nothing.

“Tell me, Sierra, why would she risk her career, if not her life, to help us?”

“The senator has always walked the moral high ground. She is also a close and trusted friend to me, Doc, and Way. One of those two must have spoken with her about your situation. Just remember, Zeus, she is risking her career and her life. Don’t let her down.” Zeus nodded uncertain what else he could say.

“The senator has left.” Apollo came into the meeting room where Zeus and Sierra sat each lost in thought. Other gods he had summoned followed him in until the room was overflowing. Some gods had to stand behind chairs since there weren’t enough chairs to sit in.

“I need three gods who can fly helicopters for a mission in two weeks. I need one of those pilots for a trip tomorrow. Eres and two of his team will go on the trip with us. The senator came to see if we had any interest in buying some surplus equipment or we had any interest in doing some missions for the US on an as needed basis. We need the equipment, I want to know what you think of the missions. We don’t have to decide right now but give it some thought. We have gotten some intel through the prisoners and other sources. Some is highly confidential, but we may not be alone, there may be other facilities that Origin ran. Some of our brothers we thought dead, may not be, but we will speak more of this when more information becomes available. It is something that Kyler and his team must not know.”

“Are you sure there are more?” Hades ask
ed with a pained look on his face.

“No, but you can be sure we will find out. Now everyone but Eres, may leave.”

Sierra stayed sure that they would be discussing the mission tomorrow. Hades, Apollo, Ares, and Poseidon all stayed too. “Eres, we have a mission for tomorrow that you and two of your team will go on. We have some proof that our demon brothers weren’t destroyed and instead have been used as experiments. They are being tortured and mistreated so we will free them first.” Zeus pulled out pictures from the folder tossing them on the table.

Eres looked thoughtful probably deciding which of his males would be most helpful on the coming mission. He leaned over to look at the picture Hades had picked up, shock visible on his face. Sierra knew the new position Eres was taking would change the carefree young god. Sure, he had been on missions for Origin since before he was a teen, but the weight of leadership was a heavy burden. His laugh lines would change to worry lines over the years.

“Lucifer.” Hades said with bright eyes that showed his sadness.

Sierra looked at a man with the build of Zeus. He had flaming red hair, bright green eyes, an attractive face, and a huge set of purple wings. Blood ran down his arms although she saw no wounds and the pain of his face was clear to see. She didn’t know him but it made her want to rush to him, free him
, and make everything alright. She could see his resemblance to an angel, which was what Lucifer had been before the fall. His name fit his beauty, his red hair looked like the fire said to burn in hell.

“They named him that?” Sierra asked her face showing her admiration of his form and sadness at his condition. Zeus recognized that the demons and gods appealed to females. She could admire them all as
long as she remembered she belonged to him. He had noticed this morning that her smell had changed to where she smelled more like him, it pleased him.

“They used demon names for the failed ones. They were experimenting trying to
get the right amount of Cronos’ DNA so we would blend in with humans but still have god traits. They used too much when creating the demons. They used less for Ares, Hades, Apollo, Poseidon, and myself, a little less again for Hercules, Eres, and the second level of command, and somewhat less than that for the rest so the leaders would be easy to distinguish and not be challenged. They told us every army must have Generals, Lieutenants, and foot soldiers.” Sierra nodded her understanding and Zeus could see what he had said made sense to her.

They continued the meeting until all the new information had been discussed and the plan ironed out. He couldn’t get to his demon brothers soon enough, but he had no choice but to wait and plan. He dismissed the meeting, grabbed his mate
’s hand dragging her off to his bed where he would celebrate his own freedom until he could arrange freedom for all his brethren.

She smelled so good, so feminine and sexual. He pulled her in through the door unwilling to wait another moment to claim her. He stripped hoping she would follow his example but she just stood there watching him
with a glint of appreciation in her eyes. He moved to her with the grace of a predator pulling her into his arms kissing her with passion and skill while she melted in his arms. He slid her shirt up over her head as he moved back then tossed it to the floor before kissing her once more. The bra unsnapped easily as he pulled it off dropping it next to the shirt. His hands reached up cupping her breasts as he tweaked her nipples until they were stiff peaks that made his mouth water for a taste. Impatient he lowered his mouth to one then the other as he hungrily devoured them. She moaned and he smelled her arousal as she writhed with desire wanting more. He undid her pants sliding his hands around to the back where he cupped her ass feeling the silky barely there panties she wore.

They were a waste of money and space so he ripped them off
and slid her pants down. Aching and hard as a rock, he needed her now or he feared he would go crazy. It seemed he took her against a wall as much as in the bed but the thought didn’t stop him from pressing her against the wall  behind her and slamming his needy staff deep into her welcoming heat. He groaned low and deep as the pleasure of being inside her rolled over him. He was already on the very edge of release as he started to jack hammer into her not holding back. He slid his hand to her sensitive spot to make sure she came with him when he exploded. She came before him as a scream came from her just as her body spasmed around him clasping him in a near death grip forcing him to shoot his hot load inside her. It spewed forth hot and heavy, jet after jet of his seed going deep into her.

She would surely be the death of him. His breath escaped him as he jerked unable to think of anything but his lovely mate and the feelings they shared. Once they calmed, he carried her to his bed forgetting all about food or anything else except sleeping wrapped around the warmth of his sweet mate. Tomorrow and all they had to do
, would come soon enough.
