The Beginning

“Who are you, and where did you come from?”  The woman asked in the shadows, clutching her comforter to her chest, wringing it in her hands.

“I am no one of concern to you.”  The shadow rumbled as it moved closer to her, and in desperation the woman reached over to find her husband gone.  A realization occurred – her husband was gone for the night.  “I’ve been watching you for some time now, and I want to give you a gift.”

“I’ll scream!  I’ll call the cops.”  The woman yelped, backing away from the figure approaching her, now climbing onto the bed.

“I can make this very pleasurable for you, and it is going to happen.”  The figure said.

“Please, what do you want?”  The woman realized that he had not made an indent in the bed he had just climbed on.  “What are you?”

“A god.  I want you to bear a child for me.”

“I won’t cheat on my husband!”  The woman protested, trying to back off the bed, bumping her head on the corner of the wall in the process.

“Its not cheating.”  The figure said.  “I’m not a physical being.”

“No means no!”  The woman shouted, scrambling to get off the bed.  She felt a cool sensation grab her and pull her back.

“You know, that’s the problem with the English language... ”  The god said as he positioned her underneath him, “I always got those two words confused... yes and no?”

Hours later, she sat next to the figure, panting.  Exhausted, and completely sold to the idea of god-sex.

“You need to lie with your husband when he returns.  The baby is mine, and I will reclaim him one day.”

“Why... me?”  She asked, closing her eyes, an overwhelming urge of sleep halting her protests again.

“Because you have an ancestor who happens to be only half mortal.  We need a leader of the demimortals.  Sleep well, love.”

“I’m not... yours.”  She said, slipping into a dreamless sleep.

“All are mine.”  Zeus shook his head and jumped back to Olympus.  He would solve the problem of his brothers’ infidelities with one of his own.
