"Do you think you could love him?" She asks me, hopeful.
"If he was made for me don't you think he would be better to me, treat me like an equal? Don't you think that he would be nicer, simply just appreciate that I'm here? That he would try and mak...

It was the night before the war and I couldn't help but cling onto Odysseus. I didn't want him to leave for it but he had to, he was a king, not a coward and he wasn't going to back down.
I just wish he could stay here with the pups and I. I couldn't help but think dark thoughts. I wanted Odysseus to be ok. I couldn't keep an eye out for him if I was here.
What if he got hurt or something happened to him? I'd never forgive myself for it. He's my rock and without him I'm lost. The last time he left without me I was mess, an angry mess. But now I'm just a stressed mess.
Luckily for me Jocelyn had suggested she take the pups for the night which I agreed too. I wouldn't get the proper goodbye I needed if they were here, also Odysseus needed to be strong tomorrow and to do that he needed a good sleep, which he couldn't have with the pups around.
I was scared. Terrified more like it.
"What are you thinking about, baby?" Odysseus asks me, pushing my hair behind my ear.
"Stuff," I answer, looking down avoiding his eyes. He lifts my chin up with his fingers.
"Look at me," he says.
I look up into his deep brown eyes, waiting for what he was going to say next.
"I'm going to be fine, my love. You don't have to worry, we've got the advantage, we've got the numbers. I'm not leaving you, our chances are like ninety-nine to one. The others are going to be there too, they'll have my back," he tells me, trying to reassure me.
"But," I go to say more, but he cuts me off.
"No buts. It'll be fine, my angel. You'll be here with the pups and that's all I need to push my through, knowing you're safe here with them," he tells me as tears blur my vision.
"I'm going to miss you and I can't help but feel like something terrible is going to happen," I tell him, hugging him and nuzzling my head into his chest.
"Nothing bad is going to happen," he tells me and lays me on my back. He gets in between my legs before my trackies off.
"I promise," he tells me before his mouth connects with my delicate folds.

I lay naked next to Odysseus and look at his sleeping figure, the moonlight raining down on his making him look so handsome.
I couldn't sleep. It was one am and I knew they'd be leaving in four hours. It was a long trip and they had to gather the troops. They had yet to go over the plan. Odysseus told me they'd attack at changeover. Changeover was when the guards switched shifts, it usually commenced at eleven pm. It was a strategic move, when they switched they would silently take out the guards then kill they other on their way back.
