The moonlit moors sped by in a blur as Frigga ran faster than the wind, calling on the reserves of her divine power to flee Morrigan’s domain. She cradled Theo to her breastplate as she ran, ignoring his confused protests as he recovered from his forbidden tryst. She ran at this great pace for almost an hour as Morrigan’s moors sped by, until she left them behind arriving in a vast meadow, filled with flowers which were closed in the darkness. They approached a gazebo of fine marble when Frigga finally slowed down.
She set Theodore down, winded. “What was that all about!?” he exclaimed, indignant at having been ripped away from his lover and dragged off far away with no explanation.
Frigga glared at him. “Impudent boy,” she snapped. “It is only by great luck and my power that you live to ask such questions. You copulated with a Goddess! If she had conceived, you would be no more!”
“Copulated?” Theo asked. “Is that what that was? It was… good. What’s so bad about it?”
“That is the means by which men and women make children, though the act does not always result in conception. It is not a bad thing for men to do, but it is forbidden for man to sire a child by a Goddess.”
“But I thought you said I was the first boy to come here, how do you know that?”
“I simply know. It is a truth as old as the cosmos.”
“So then why’s Morrigan want to… copulate with me? Does she want to kill me?”
“No. She wants a child, your destruction would just be a side-effect. I said before that we Goddesses like to compete. We want to rule each other, but we are all equal in strength. If a Goddess bore a child, however, she and her child could combine their powers and dominate the others. Bastet wants you to go home for that reason: she wants you to survive.”
“But that really felt good…” Theo lamented.
“You can couple with mortal women just the same. Once you’ve gotten home and gotten older, you can do so again if you find a willing mate.”
Theodore looked downcast. It was the nature of the young, Frigga guessed, to not truly understand their own peril. “It matters not,” she added. “We’re out of Morrigan’s domain now, she cannot ambush us here. Now, we’ll camp here for tonight.”
They ate of Frigga’s meager field rations, and went to their rest, Goddess and boy falling asleep at the same time, both exhausted from the events of the long day.
Theodore awoke the next morning to the sound of sweet music drifting across the meadow. He sat up slowly, feeling full-rested and quite content under the enchanting song. Looking around, he saw a beautiful woman sitting against one of the marble columns.
The woman played a harp, but the music that came forth was a symphony of many gentle instruments playing a gracious morning tune. She had chestnut brown hair worn long and smooth, olive-toned skin. Most unique about her was her dress, made of beauteous peacock feathers, a shimmering blend of greens, blues, and golds, low-cut to reveal a sizable bosom. The woman smiled at him, and he grinned awkwardly back, before it dawned on him.
“Frigga!” he said, rolling over to where the Goddess of Peace lay asleep. “Wake up, Frigga! Someone’s here!”
Frigga rolled over, seized her spear, and leapt to her feet. “Juno!” she shouted, leveling her spear at her.
Juno stopped playing her harp and laughed; a sound almost as musical to hear. “You are always so fierce, dear sister. You are not so different from Morrigan, you know.” She stood up to greet Peace.
“And you’re always making light of grave matters,” Frigga retorted. “Why are you here?”
“That’s my question for you,” Juno said. “You brought your handsome friend into my territory. Have you come to the dominion of Happiness to cavort with him?”
“I’m taking him to the Midgard Portal,” Frigga replied. “Morrigan already attempted to conceive by him, so I brought him into your domain.”
“Had some fun with the Lady of War, did you?” Juno said, looking at Theo.
“It felt great!” Theo said. Frigga glared at him. “But I’m not supposed to do it.”
“It is only forbidden for you to leave a Goddess with child,” Juno corrected. “If Morrigan was content to live as an equal with the rest of us, she would not harm you, leaving you only with the pleasure of the act.”
Theodore looked back at Juno with sudden hope in his eyes. “Are you saying that you’re any different?” Frigga asked crossly.
“I am,” Juno replied. “Mortals and divinities alike assume that the fulfillment of desire is the path to happiness, especially dear Parvati. But the truth of Happiness is mine to know. We are only happy when we are content with ourselves as we are. I do not need a mate, a child, or lordship over the divine. Your dominion would benefit from this philosophy as well, Goddess of Peace. If all were happy, there would be no strife. Instead,” she said, winking at Theo, “we’re free to enjoy ourselves.”
“That sounds… pretty smart,” Theo observed, blushing a little.
Frigga groaned. “Your intentions are obvious, Juno. You know I cannot allow it.”
“I simply speak of a chance to introduce this boy to the world of true happiness,” Juno said. “He can freely join, and freely leave, if he chooses.” Theodore looked yet more hopeful as she said this, but was smart enough to know that the choice really belonged to Frigga.
“But the others…” Frigga began.
“He will be safe from the others in my domain. He will be safe from me, as well. I told you, I want for nothing.”
“Except Theodore,” Frigga replied.
“Is that your name? It’s lovely,” Juno smiled. “And you caught me, sister. I do have a desire; that others should choose to embrace my happiness.”
Frigga stepped over to Juno, looking at her eye to eye. Peace knew that Happiness was correct in that it would be difficult for another Goddess to overpower her in her own territory, though it was always a risk. Beyond that, Frigga wanted to live up to her ideals as much as Juno did: she did not want conflict with Theodore, who obviously wanted to stay, at least for a time. The question was if Juno herself could be trusted, though there was a solution there as well.
“Very well,” Frigga relented.
“Yeah!” Theo whooped.
“But I’ll come back in a month, to see that you are still able to keep faith. If he desires to depart before then…”
“Of course I will provide escort to the mortal world,” Juno assured.
“Thanks a lot, Frigga!” Theo said, hugging the Goddess.
Frigga returned the hug. “Go in peace,” she said.
After Frigga had departed, Theodore and Juno walked through the endless flowery meadow. Juno’s domain was beautiful in the daylight, shimmering sunlight, endless flowers of many colors, and a gentle breeze. The breeze blew on the open flowers, casting their pollen into the air and giving the land a subtly alluring scent.
The beauty of the land was not lost upon Theodore, but the beauty of his new caretaker was of more immediate concern to him. “So are you really gonna let me…” he paused to remember the word, “copulate with you?”
Juno laughed, the sound like sweet bells ringing in the distance. “I’m flattered that you’re so eager to lie with me,” she said. “But this desire is not the path to happiness. You have to take a step back and appreciate what you have, right now. Here,” she said, bending down and picking a flower with deep blue petals, “stop and smell the flowers.”
Theo took the offered flower and gave it a brief sniff, and then a longer one, breathing deeply of the glorious fragrance coming from the flower. The very smell seemed to slow the beating of his heart, to ease his feelings of anticipation, the feelings of lust that Morrigan had awakened. “It smells good…” he said thickly.
“Of course it does,” Juno said. “Come along, let’s go for a fun walk.”
So they went through Juno’s domain, enjoying the sunshine, the gentle breeze, and the flowers. The flowers seemed to grow taller as went deeper into the meadow, closer to Juno’s home. Soon enough, the flowers were as tall as Theo was, and he could sniff deeply of each blossom as he passed. The flowers’ pollen instilled in him a heady, languorous feeling, as if he were in that blissful space between sleeping and waking, wandering through a waking dream. Thought seemed to flee from his mind, and all that remained were his senses: the smell of the flowers, the feel of the breeze, the sound of Juno’s sweet laughter, and all of the sights, Juno’s body not the least of him.
Even as all thought left him, the sight of Juno began to grow upon him anew, her beautiful peacock-feather dress, her olive-toned skin, full lips, brown hair, and curvaceous form. The Goddess led him at last to a larger pavilion, a marble structure like the earlier gazebo, much broader but still open to the breeze and the scent of the flowers. “Well,” said Juno, “here is my home. Do you want to stay with me?”
“Yes…” Theo could not think of anything else to say: he felt better here than he ever had, even living with Bastet.
“Then you are welcome to share in my simple pleasures,” Juno said. There was food and drink in the pavilion, which the boy and his caretaker partook of. Juno spoke, but her conversation was not substantive. Her words were light and meaningless, but it was still a joy to hear them and to respond in kind. They finished their meal, and at last Juno led him over to a soft couch upholstered in a rich purple.
“Shall we?” Juno said invitingly. She sat down, motioning for Theo to sit on her lap. With the boost from her lap, the boy was closer to eye level with the Goddess. Her lap felt very warm. “Mating can be very fun, but people get so wound up in wanting it, that when they finally get it,” she embraced Theo and kissed him briefly, “they don’t enjoy it as much.”
Juno waved her arm, and her dress flew away in a flurry of feathers. Theo’s clothes faded away as well, leaving him sitting nude on the Goddess’ lap, his penis already erect. “Another thing that clouds your enjoyment of mating is the selfish desire for pleasure,” she said. She placed her hand gently on Theo’s cock. “Pleasure is a joy to be shared, like all forms of happiness. Here,” she brushed her other hand against one of her breasts. “Try sucking.”
Theo fixed his lips to Juno’s brown nipple and began sucking, while Juno started stroking his cock. Juno moaned softly and began to blush, while Theo shivered under her touch. Theo climaxed quickly enough, spurting onto Juno’s lightly tanned bosom. “Didn’t that feel better?” she asked.
“Yeah, yeah it did,” Theo replied, taking his mouth off of Juno’s breast. She gently pushed Theo off of her lap as she leaned back, lying on the couch and spreading her legs wide, letting one ride up the back of the couch.
Juno snapped her fingers and produced a small, circular device. “This is called a pessary. When a woman puts it in her vagina, she can mate without worrying about conceiving a child.” She inserted it into her glistening womanhood. “This way, mating can be enjoyed without worry; pleasure for its own sake.”
“Pleasure…” Theo repeated.
“Here, try licking my womanhood,” Happiness said, spreading her slick labia open with her fingers. “It’s another way to share pleasure with your mate.” Theo dutifully knelt before her, placing his face before her warm, wet labia, taking in a scent just as compelling as that of the flowers. He dove in, licking clumsily, but pleasurable enough for the Goddess of Happiness, who was soon squirming in her position on the couch, rubbing her breasts as Theo worked around her labia, vulva, and clitoris.
“Mmmh,” she moaned. “Good work. Now...” She reached down, pulling Theo up her body. His cock had become erect again, and slid neatly into her pussy. “Ahhhh…” Juno and Theo both shivered in pleasure as they joined together. Theo began moving, remembering somewhat the rhythm that Morrigan had taught him. In and out he rocked against her body, though unlike with the Goddess of War, now he was lying lovingly on top of his partner’s soft body, feeling her breasts mash against his body as they coupled.
Juno moaned, softly at first, and then rising to a crescendo, feeling the first man inside her in an untold time. She crossed her arms and legs, hugging the mortal boy to her. They climaxed together, Theo’s hot seed flowing into Juno’s pussy as she embraced him tightly.
They lay together, basking in their mutual afterglow, still joined together. “Stay with me, Theo,” she said softly. “Stay, and know happiness.”
“Mmm…” Theo sighed into her bosom. “Yeah… I’ll stay here forever…”
