The Girl We Desire

Arsenio's POV~

Kingdom of Lympia, 1200 BC

This day hadn't started yet, but I loathed it already. My father, the king of Lympia, wanted me to settle down with one woman. The problem was I adore the female population. How could I disregard them just for one female?

I'm Arsenio Tadeas Dimitri Dwight, the god of affection and attraction. The future king of Lympia. No one could resist me, and my charms. I was the only immortal among my people.

Many people worshipped me as a demigod because I was a blessing from the god of love, Eros himself.

My parents, king Dwight and queen Dahlia were so much in love with each other when they were young. But unfortunately, my father couldn't produce a child for the kingdom and my mother refused to take another man into her life because they both were so much in love with each other.

They prayed and made many sacrifices to the god of love and he blessed them with a child, who was a spitting image of him. I was the only heir of this kingdom and my parents and I was born with white wings and magical power like the god of love unlike a normal human, besides me an oracle was capable of performing magic.

I heard rumors that they could enter into different realms, but I don't believe them because, if a different realm existed, I would have known by now. Of the entire oracle, Apollo's oracle was the most powerful. She lived in the temple, where Apollo's altar was being worshiped and her name was Ebony.

I made my way to my harem to clear my mind. As soon as I entered, I was greeted with the most beautiful, soft, caring, and fragile creation of god. The females kissed my cheeks as I walked by them.

I could hear their giggles, their eyes were sparkling with delight and they looked desperate to get my attention. I winked at a few women on my right which made them swoon over me. I smirked at a few and they looked like they were under a spell.

My mighty white feathers were tucked and disappeared into my back. I scanned the crowd to choose my bedding partner and I settled with Fabiola and Galina. Fabiola was a white beauty, she was tall, lean, and had soft features with shiny blond hair and mesmerizing grey eyes. Galina was a black beauty; she was short, curvy, thick, and she had strong features with wild black curly hair and striking brown eyes.

Both were beautiful in their inimitable way.

I went near them and took both their hands and kissed the back of their palm with a lazy smirk which made them giggle, their eyes shone with mischief.

"Your highness." they both bowed courteously and we made our way to the spacious bedroom where I spent my time whenever I visit the harem.

I sat on the edge of my luxurious bed while Fabiola hastily fiddled with the buttons of my loosely fitted white shirt, sitting on my lap. We both discarded my shirt and she kissed between my eyebrows, my cheeks, and my nose. Her soft luscious lips left a trail of fire on my skin.

I closed my eyes and instantly began to relax, I groped her hip and pulled her closer to me, she gasped when her core made direct contact with my hard erect. She wrapped her arms around my neck and trailed down hungry kisses down my chest, her fingers were softly tugging at my hair which earns a growl of approval from me.

Galina pressed her soft breast against my hardback and her arms came under my armpit and circled my bare torso. She moaned loudly in my ears which made my pants tighten around my shaft. Her hand dropped dangerously low and rubbed my length, making it hard as a rock. She left open-mouthed wet kisses on the back of my neck and my strong shoulders. The wetness of her lips felt like heaven against my hot skin.

I groaned in pleasure, "Your highness, I apologize for the inconvenience but the king and queen is here,"

"Fuck!" I cursed under my breath and pulled myself up from my previous position.

"Ask them to come in," I ordered the messenger and dismissed my companions. I saw the disappointment in their eyes but that's not imperative right now. I didn't bother to put on my shirt and I was left with my pants on.

"Of course, your highness," the messenger bowed and made her way out of the room. A few seconds later my father and mother entered with a crazy-looking lady.

"Father," I addressed him with a nod and engulfed my mother's petite figure. She smiled at me but she looked a little sad and my father gave me a disapproving look, very much aware of my task before their arrival and the bulge in my pant was not helping me either.

"I have had enough of your playboy reputation and I want you to find a bride," he stated sternly.

"Father..." I was cut off by him.

"It's your highness to you, Arsenio," he seethed with anger, "This is Ebony, Apollo's Oracle, she is here to sent you to a different realm and I want you to find a bride and return home with her,"

What the fuck!

I couldn't believe what he was saying, "But what about the princesses in other kingdoms here?" I asked him with frustration.

"Other princesses may throw themselves at you but their father won't be happy about your womanizing reputation. You can't use your powers in the realm, you're being sent to," he stated firmly.

"I refuse to cope with this idea," I grumbled with frustration.

"You don't have a choice, son." he turned to the oracle, she nodded her head at him and poked me with a needle which felt like restraining something deep within me.

"What the hell!" I yelled at her. She chanted few words and a swirling black hole appeared in front of me. I couldn't believe what was happening, so the rumors were true after all.

"Good luck, son." My mom hugged me and without warning, she pushed me into that swirling black hole.

Adeline Sandros' POV

Washington state, America, 2021 modern world (Exclude the corona outbreak)

I was so damn exhausted with today's work. I was working as a journalist in World Premier, a news station. Today, I was assigned a new project which was related to Rehor Jedrick, the notorious billionaire.

Many suspects that he was involved with illegal activities such as human trafficking, drug supply and some even say that he was involved in the mafia. He looked like a demon disguised in human form. He was an intimidating guy with this dark and mysterious aura.

Heck! I didn't even meet him in person but one look at his pictures would scream danger. I didn't know how I was going to collect information about him but I don't have a choice in this matter.

But I had to accept that the guy was hot as hell. He had luscious brown hair, and pale blue eyes with a strong, masculine jawline. I saw his neck tattoo peeking through his shirt collar. The guy was too dangerous to dream about him romantically.

I heaved a long sigh and entered my one-bedroom apartment which was located on the third floor. I locked the door behind me and dropped my car keys on the kitchen counter.

I peeled off my clothes and went to take a shower. I looked at my reflection in my bathroom mirror, my electric blue eyes looked weary, and my ink-black hair was sticking on my neck.

What got my attention was the one little beast on my left cheek.

"NO!" I shrieked at the pimple.

"Why Lord? Why me?" I sulked at my reflection. It looked so pink but thank god it was small. A little concealer would help, right?. I tried to convince myself.

I stepped into my shower and the hot water made my tense muscles relax. I closed my eyes and devoured my shower but suddenly some heavyweight pushed me down and landed on top of me. Before my head hit the bathroom floor they engulfed their hand behind my head.

My eyes were wide as soccer. It was a grown man in his late twenties. He had a rare shade of emerald green eyes and shiny blond hair. His face was sculpted to perfection.

He had the chiseled jaw, pointed nose, and body of a Greek god. He was shirtless and his hard sculpted chest and abs were pressed against my soft feminine body. He gave me a cocky smirk and realization hit me hard like a brick, I was stark naked and a burglar was on top of me.

"Aaarghhhh!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and he muffled my screams with his hands.

Arsenio's POV~

Washington DC, America, 2021 modern world (Exclude the corona outbreak)

As soon as my mother pushed me into the swirling black hole, I landed on a soft body, it was a beautiful maiden. She yelped at my sudden intrusion. Before her head met the floor I wrapped my hands protectively at the back of her head so her head landed on my palm.

Her wide ocean blue orbs stared at me in a trance. She was bare and drenched in water. Her black hair cascade down like a waterfall but it was not too long, like the woman back in my kingdom. It was down to her waist but I was not sure because she was lying flat on the floor and I was on top of her. Her soft slender hand gripped my forearm, my muscles rippled at her contact.

She was more beautiful than the description of Aphrodite and Psyche. She parted her soft luscious lips when my sculpted chest shifted against her soft feminine front. I smirked at her.

Fuck! I want to have her. I want to feel the taste of those plum little petals which were her lips.

She must have been sculpted by those heavenly beings themself to possess this beautiful art that was her face.

My smirk must awaken her from her trance because she let out an earth-splattering scream and I immediately muffled her voice with my rough yet smooth hand. I was startled by her sudden response.

She thrashed and squirmed under me which made me hard as a rock.

"Stop moving!" I ordered her but she didn't give a damn about me and kept on squirming under me.

I didn't take a glimpse of her nakedness. Even though I like her, I'm not going to invade her privacy without her consent.

I groaned and my bulge made direct contact with her bare core which made her stop abruptly. She was breathing hard, her chest raised up and down pressing harder against my masculine chest. The only thing stopping me from fucking her was the fabric of my pants.

I had met many beautiful women in my life but there was something in those ocean blue orbs of her that calls to my soul.

***************

Adeline's POV~

My heart raced when I felt his arousal against my core. My heart pounded wildly, adrenaline ran like a river across my system. I kneed him where the sun doesn't shine and he abruptly let me go and clutched his precious package and groaned in pain. I dashed to the bathroom door and wore my bathrobe and tied it securely around my tiny waist.

He recovered fast from his pain and made his way to me. He was completely soaked and the shower was still on, his blond hair was sticking to the front of his forehead.

Damn! He was a sexy burglar, indeed!

I rushed out of the bathroom and I could sense him trailing behind me. As soon as I reached the kitchen, I grabbed a knife from my kitchen counter and pointed it at him.

"Who the fuck are you?" I yelled at him. I was shaking so badly and my heart felt like it was going to fail any minute but my adrenaline was fierce.

He pointed his finger at me and jerked in my direction. I looked at him with my raised eyebrows still pointing the knife at him.

"You've got to be kidding me," he muttered under his breath.

"Okay, dude, if you're done with your, self rambling I asked you a question," I asked him with sass. He looked in my direction and those emerald green eyes of his shone with amusement.

"I'm Arsenio, the prince of Lympia and I'm a blessing from the God of love," he answered me with pride glistening in that gorgeous face of his. I snapped out of my ungodly thoughts about him.

What the hell was he talking about? What prince, there was no prince in America and I never heard a place like that. Was he a lunatic or was he pretending to be one?

"Don't you think your imagination is a bit too much?" I asked him with my raised eyebrows.

"I'm not imagining it is the truth." His tone sounded that he was offended by my question.

"Then what the hell are you doing in my place?" I demanded him and I don't have time for his childish tales.

"I was pushed into this realm and its entrance happens to be in your home," he shrugged casually like it was a normal thing to explain. I opened my mouth in utter disbelief.

Was he even for real? What the hell did he take me for, a kid?

"I'm not a kid to belief your silly lies," I groaned in frustration.

"Do not talk to me like that female, I'm a prince and I do not tolerate disrespect. Just think then how in the hell I appeared in front of you all of a sudden," he yelled at me, "Your front door is still locked," he pointed out, and yeah, he was right, it was locked and my bathroom door was also locked when I rushed out of it when I tried to escape him. I frowned and thought about the events that took place earlier.

He appeared all of a sudden and landed on top of me from my front where there was a wall.

The more I think, the more puzzled I became of this entire situation but it was not possible, right?

The thought of his shirtless body against my naked one sent a chill down my spine. I gazed at his form in my front. He was slender and tall with a lean muscular body. His body looked like one of those warriors from some historical movies.

Water was dripping down from his hair and trailed down that hard chest and softly traced his defined abs and disappeared under the waistband of his pants. His pants hung low, making his V line visible. I could see the bulge in his front and I looked up at his face.

He gave me a lopsided grin and his eyes held mischief like he could know what I was thinking.

I shook my head to clear my dirty thoughts about him. I licked my lips suddenly feeling my mouth dry. My action drew his attention to my lips. He gulped down, making his lickable Adam's apple bob up and down.

He slowly made his way to me like a predator hunting its prey. His emerald green eyes were darkened with lust. He looked so hungry not for food but for me.

I snapped out of my trance, "Stop where you are!" I stuttered and pointed my knife at him.

He was a stranger and I don't have the habit of hooking up with anyone after my dreadful breakup.

"I want you to get out of my apartment or else I'll be calling the cops." I threatened him.

"I don't know about whom you're talking about but I have no place to go. I'm not familiar with this realm and my powers were not working here." He whispered with an adorable frown.

He was a homeless man! I ignored his latter part which made no sense at all.

I knew the things he told me were surreal but something deep inside me believes him and his words were genuine. He sounded like he belonged to a different world but I couldn't risk my safety, I barely knew the guy.

"That's not my problem dude! I want you out of my apartment now!" I snapped at him. His face fell but soon he puffed out his chest and glared at me.

"Fine! I'm leaving," he told me and held his head high like he was royalty.

I opened the front door and he made his way out without a word. To be honest, I kind of felt bad for him.

I changed into my pajamas and ate my dinner. My thoughts were drifted away to that sexy intruder, did he ate anything?

Was he starving? The weather was very cold out there.

Was he dying out in this cold?

I must have offered him some money but I was not thinking straight while dealing with him

I shook my conscience and shoved my spaghetti into my mouth.

Why should I care?

It was half-past eleven and I couldn't sleep. I kept on tossing and turning on my bed.

Something in me, made my feet carry me to my front door. I was just going to check near my apartment to make sure that he was gone, nothing more and nothing less. I reminded my subconscious firmly.

I walked out of my apartment and made my way downstairs. I exited out of my building and gazed at the street.

God, it was so cold! I must have bought my sweater with me. I shifted from one foot to another, seeking desperately for some warmth.

Adeline's POV~

I saw no one near my building so I turned around to walk back to my apartment but suddenly a movement at my peripheral got my attention. I turned and froze on my spot. My sexy intruder was sitting near a dumpster and he was shaking terribly in cold.

***************

Arsenio's POV~

"That's not my problem dude! I want you out of my apartment, now!" she snapped at me.

I was furious, how dare she talk to me like that? I glared at her and stormed out of her home. Her home was so small and it contains some weird-looking things. The furniture was brown and polished. There was a big, flat, black box in her sitting room.

I stormed out of her home without a word and noticed that there were similar homes in this building and I descended the stairs and looked around my surrounding.

There were tall buildings and some buildings made up of glasses and a woman was talking on a big flat screen that hung on that building.

Oh, God! What was this place?

I narrowed around my weird surrounding in bewilderment.

The temperature was cold unlike Lympia and I was dripping wet and shirtless was not helping me either. I think the needle the oracle used to poke me had something to do with my inability to use my powers here.

I spread my mighty wings and took off a flight. My wings were a part of my body; it was like an organ, so no one could control my wings. I was starving but I could hold on to my hunger it was not a big deal.

When there was a war between Lympia and Rinosa, I and my soldiers fought for nearly a week without having food.

It was pitch dark outside and I have no place to stay and I noticed some people were pointing their hands towards my direction with a baffled expression. I flew higher above the clouds so that no one could spot me.

There were still people roaming around the street and I didn't want anyone to look suspicious of me. So I flew back to that beautiful maiden's home. The wind rustled due to the fluttering of my wings while I land on the ground. I didn't want to barge into her home, so I sat near a box.

I tugged my wings behind my back and it vanished into my muscular back.

This blue-eyed maiden was really feisty and intriguing but she was going to pay for disrespecting me.

**************

Adeline's POV~

My sexy intruder was sitting near a dumpster and he was shaking terribly in cold.

I didn't know what possessed my legs to carry me near him. I shook him softly to wake him as soon as I was in front of him. What was his name? He did tell me his name. I think it was Arsenio.

I squatted in front of him and placed my palms against his bare shoulders. His skin was cold and it was snowing terribly.

"Arsenio, wake up" I softly shook him. He slowly opened his eyes and gazed at me with his emerald green orbs I was transfixed by its beauty. It was an odd shade of green. He had this powerful aura around him. He closed his eyes immediately as soon as he opened them.

I groaned in frustration and helped him to stand up on his feet. His one arm was rested on my shoulder and the other was dangling to his side. I circled his torso with my arms and supported his weight.

"God, you're so heavy," I grumbled under my breath and slowly dragged him to my apartment.

The moment I reached inside my apartment I let him fall on my couch and heaved a sigh. I locked my front door and adjusted the thermostat to cope with the cold. January was usually, super cold in Seattle.

I gathered some blankets from my closet and went near him to cover him and he was shaking so badly. I kind of felt bad for kicking him out of my apartment.

"Hey, are you okay?" I touched his forehead with the back of my palm to check his temperature. His skin was cold and he didn't have a fever. While I was observing him, he suddenly pulled me on top of him and hugged me so tight.

"What...what are you doing?" my voice was breathless. I was flushed against his hard, sculpted front. My face was buried in the crook of his neck, I tried to wiggle out of his grasp but I was locked in his embrace.

I was in my silk pajamas which contains silk shorts and a shirt. My shirt raids up, exposing my flat stomach and it was pressing against his hard abs. My hot skin touched his cold skin making jolts of electricity pass down my spine.

"Shh...It's much better now, sleep." He softly whispered, still not opening his eyes. The audacity of this man, I scowled at him and I was fuming with hot rage.

His half leg was dangling at the armrest of my couch because he was too tall but the couch was enough for both of us because he was all lean muscles. I tried to get out of his grip which made him groan and he shifted me to his side.

Now he was at the edge, he laid his one leg on mine. Our legs were intertwined and he gathered me in his arms and hugged me so close to his chest, stopping all my movements.

I placed my palm against his defined chest, he was gaining his normal temperature due to our body contact but I couldn't push him from me.

He smelled so good, like some expensive masculine cologne. His intoxicating scent made me relax in his arms but I couldn't sleep. I was so damn exhausted but how do I sleep when I was embraced by a sexy stranger.

Eventually, my exhaustion won and I fell into a deep slumber in his strong arms. The next morning I woke up, yawning profusely. I was sweating like a pig and I could feel some heavy weight on me. I opened my eyes to come face to face with emerald green eyes.

Arsenio, my sexy stranger was awake and he was staring at me with a cocky smirk. Our legs were still weaved with one another and his arms were tightly wrapped around my waist.

I blinked, once, twice, and thrice. I screamed at him causing him to tumble down from my couch. I reflexively stood to my feet and attacked my arrogant stranger with my cushions.

"How dare you, make me sleep with you," I yelled at him and hit his head with my cushion.

"Stop it, woman," he dodged my attack and pulled my cushions from my hand. I glared at him and he looked at me with hilarity shining in his grass-green orbs.

"You helped me," he stated with a smile.

"I kind of feel bad for kicking you out," I shrugged, "Are you homeless?" I asked him.

"No, I told you before, I'm the prince of Lympia and I belong to a different realm," he told me with an adorable frown.

I heaved a sigh, "You can use my bathroom, if you want, I'll give you some of my ex-boyfriend's clothes after your shower." I indicated towards his dirty pant.

He nodded at me and went into my bathroom. I rummaged my closet and took a new pair of sweats and boxers which was never used by Luke.

I laid the clothes on my bed and made my way to the kitchen to make my coffee. I couldn't function properly without my coffee and dealing with this guy drain away my energy so fast.

I made my coffee and switched on the news. As a journalist, I make sure to know what's happening and it was Sunday today. I sat on my couch and sipped my coffee. The aromatic smell of coffee woke my exhausting soul and I started to feel refreshing.

I spat my coffee out as soon as I saw a man flying in the sky on my television screen. He was wearing a pant and he was shirtless. He was flying with the help of his majestic white, angel-like wings with so much grace and elegance. It was so dark so the face was not clear but I could make out his profile, it was Arsenio. He soon disappeared above the clouds.

What the hell was going on here? My eyes were wide with disbelief.

***************

Adeline's POV~

It couldn't be him, right? Even though the face was not clear in the footage, I could say it was him. The man in the footage wore the same pant and his silhouette matches with Arsenios', was he an angel? Where did he get his wings from? He did tell me that he was from a different realm and something about him being a prince.
