Chapter Three

Soon after Daniel left for work, Calla gathered the children up in her arms and traveled the Astral to her Father’s cave.

Rising in surprise and delight as she appeared before him Ares held out his arms to all three of them. “To what do I owe the pleasure of your company today?” He asked.

“Daniel has agreed to celebrate Christmas.” She told him and looked around at the new harem. “I see you’ve wasted no time, Father.”

“You know how I hate to be alone.” Ares whispered.

“Hump,” Calla sighed and then proceeded to fill her Father in on the details of the upcoming Christmas event.

“Must I get a gift for each of them?” Ares asked.

“Do as you like, Father, so long as you behave yourself.” She warned in a playful tone. “How did things go with Samantha?”

“Very well,” he said with a sly smile. “Will she be joining us?”

“Yes.” Calla huffed. “Behave yourself.” She warned in a slow voice. “I like Samantha, Father and I don’t wish to see her get hurt.”

“Is that what’s bothering you, daughter?” Lord Ares asked with a raised eyebrow and then shook his head. “ Why you seem so...uptight?“ Ares asked with a pout and then stroked the beard at his chin; he looked over at her from the top of his dark eyes. “I don’t think it is.” He circled around her in long strides while his eyes took her in. “I think you lied to me, daughter.” Hot steamy breath danced across her ear as he leaned in close to her. “You know something else? I think something is...missing....” Ares inhaled a large breath through flared nostrils and held it in his billowed chest; slowly he let it out again. “I don’t smell the slightest whiff of....”

“I’ll see you on the 25th, Father.” Calla interjected and then disappeared before he could finish his thought.
