7.

Fuck! Peter!

Peter stands up and walks towards the door to Thanatos.

"You can't be here."

Thanos laughs, "Too bad, I'm already here Peter Pan."

"Don't test me, Thanos," Peter growls.

Thanos shrugs my brother off and walks past him.

"Fifi," he greets

"Fuckboy," Fifi spits.

I look at Korey who is currently enjoying her garlic bread, how can she be so calm during the chaos, they did say she is the queen of chaos.

"My, my, my, who is this beautiful young lady."

I get up and stop him from getting any closer to her.

Korey looks up and stares at me, "He just wants to say hi."

Korey stands up and reaches out her hand, Thanos pushes me aside and shakes her hand.

"Thanatos Harold Wilson," he smiles.

"Korey Jones," she smiles back.

Harold looked baffled for a minute, "Nice to meet you."

"Likewise," and she sits back down.

Thanos looks at me and his eyes turn red, he is not happy. We gods have a common weakness we sometimes forget about, our eyes change colour according to our emotions, sadly Thanatos never managed to learn to control his and a few other gods and goddesses.

"I'm glad you could join us cousin, take a seat," I say with a smirk.

"I thought I wasn't welcome here," he says.

I chuckle, "You proved that you could play nice, so I'll let you stay."

Thanos gives a curt nod and takes his seat.

Tony serves Thanos the starter and once everybody is calm, Peter decides to break the ice.

"So, the reason why Mr Wilson here asked you to come over for dinner Korey, he has a crush on you, and he is just beside himself about it."

Peter!

I groan internally, I hate my brother, he can such a tool sometimes, he always does this to me, make my life difficult and embarrass me every chance he gets in front of any woman I come across, it is his job to do so.

"Don't deny it, Wade," Fifi smiles mischievously, supporting her husband's childish behaviour.

"Guys!"

"It's kind of obvious though," Peter adds.

My eyes widen, "Is it?"

Everyone nods.

Dammit.

"Korey, what do you do?" Thanos asks.

"She works for me," I butt in before she could answer.

"I work for Mama June's Flower Shop," she says, kicking my foot underneath the table, I do not make a sound, but it hurts, who knew Louis Vuitton shoes could hurt like hell.

"Oh."

"She'll be working on my black roses for the next couple of weeks," I add.

Thanos hums, "Enjoy baby girl, Wade here is very difficult to work with."

Korey smiles, "I look forward to it and I do enjoy a good challenge."

After that Thanos does not say a word, which is worrying to me because he's always running his mouth, but something shuts him up and I don't know if it is Korey's bravery or something else, but I intend to find out.

"Peter, Thanos, can I speak to you for a minute?" I ask as I stand up from my seat.

"Of course,"

They both stand up and we walk into the foyer.

"What's up, little bro?" Poseidon asks.

I look at Thanos, "What's your deal? You have not said a word or tried to flirt with Korey."

"Yeah, what's the deal man?"

Thanos sighs, "I'm pretty sure you guys already know, she's one of us."

"Well duh and she's his wife," Poseidon replies.

"But she's different, I can feel the darkness inside her."

I laugh, "What are you going on about Thanos?"

"You might think I'm crazy but she's dangerous Hades," Thanos says and to be honest, I believed him.

"Why? How?" Poseidon questions, "She's a florist and the sweetest girl I know."

"Trust me on this," Thanos sighs, "I feel it in my bones,"

Poseidon gulps down his whiskey and looks at me.

P: You are buying this...

W: I am, I just need to confirm with the elders.

T: I am still here you know.

"Shit," I whisper.

"We are all interlinked and I'm pretty sure Fifi heard that too," Peter says.

"Peter!" Fifi calls out, "Dessert is ready."

"Okay honey, we'll be there in a minute," he yells back.

"Let's go, we'll talk about this properly some other time," Peter says and walks back into the dining room.

Everybody takes their seats and Korey gives me a shy smile. I cannot help but smile back at her.

My dear sweet Korey, how I love you so.

"Dessert is ready," Tony announces.

Everyone gets a plate of chocolate ganache cake with a side of strawberry purée, Korey's favourite and do not ask me how I know, I just do, and I may have not been stalking her ever since she moved into town.

"Oh my gosh, this is my favourite. How did you know?" She grins.

"I have my ways," I wink.

"He's just a creep," Peter laughs.

Korey laughs and takes a bite of her cake and lets out the sexiest moan I have ever heard.

I watch her as she takes another bite, well everybody is watching her.

She then starts to chew and notices that everyone was staring at her, she blushes.

"I'm so sorry," she apologizes.

"Oh baby, don't be," Fifi laughs, "You're just so adorable."

She blushes more, "Fifi please."

"What? I'm quite sure you have a boner right now after hearing that moan," she smirks as she pours the purée on top of the cake.

I groan, "Felicity!"

"Wade,"

I just want to die, "Korey, I do apologize for my sister-in-law's behaviour."

"Don't worry, I love it," she grins.

After dessert, Thanatos decides to leave.

"Korey, it was nice meeting you," he says politely.

Korey gives him a warm smile, "It was nice to meet you too."

Thanos smiles fondly at her, "You'll be good for my brother. You look like you'll be able to handle him."

Korey blushes, meaning she understood what he meant.

"Bye everybody," he says.

"Thank you for coming Thanatos."

He turns around and leaves, Tony escorting him to the door.

"I should be leaving too, I have an early day tomorrow," Korey says.

"It's okay sweetie, it was nice meeting you, I hope to see you soon," Fifi says.

"I do too Korey," Peter says.

Korey gives them both a hug and looks at me with a smile. She is just adorable; I look down at her and kiss her on the forehead.

"Aren't they just adorable Peter?" Fifi coos, I glare at them both and walk Korey to the door.

"Thank you for coming tonight, Korey, I ate it," I say shyly.

"Thank you for having me, I hope maybe next time we can do it alone," she replies but she quickly covers her mouth and confusion clouds her face.

Persephone.

"Of course," I nod with a wink.

She blushes, I step closer to her, and I look into her chocolate brown eyes, "You looked gorgeous tonight."

"Thank you," she whispers as she leans closer to me.

"My pleasure."

I feel her hot breath against my face and just as our lips are about to touch, my brother decides to ruin the moment.

"Wade, bro, Gertie needs help."

I let out a sigh, "I'll be right there."

"Now please," he says.

"Go, I'll see you tomorrow," and I kiss her cheek and watch her walk to her car.

I turn around, walk back to the dining room, and look at my brother and all he does is smile.

Cock block.
