"Not…" he trailed off as the thought escaped him. He chased after it like a lifeline. He wanted her. His rod ached to slip between her thighs and replace her fingers. Why was he resisting? "Not like this," he said. "I want you… as you…" The pressure on his mind vanished in an instant as Gloria's eyes grew wide. He knew he should be furious with her, but couldn't summon up the anger. "You've never had to use your abilities on me before. Why?"
She stared at him for a couple seconds before responding. "I'm so sorry. I thought… I mean, as tired as you were today, I thought you would need the enticement." She stopped and shook her head. "That's not entirely true. When I'm in my Mens Mundi, my baser instincts come out. I told you before that I was created to seduce men. You already know that I was once Aphrodite, but that wasn't my first name."
