As usual, just an FYI. Rett is Lust, Jake is Pride, Sam is Wrath.

Kare bare is Gluttony, Ezra is Envy now that's easy with the same alphabet and so is Liam the Lazy (Sloth). Finally Zane is Greed.

Athena

Once Ezra and I clean up, we walk back to the kitchen. I badly need food and starving like hell since the time I tried sneaking out. All sex and no food doesn't suit me.

As usual, Kare bear is already standing in the kitchen working on the new innovative recipe which he seem to enjoy.

"Good morning" although I say it in a lively tone, Kare doesn't respond. Trying to grab his attention, I call out. "Kare bear.. I said good morning"

He turns and nods before turning back to work.

What happened to him?

As Ezra moves away to the couch in the living room, I get inside the kitchen, turning Kare towards me.

"What happened?"

A monosyllable reply, "Nothing"

That's not a nothing.

Keeping my hand over his wrist, I try to sense what happened to him. He pulls away immediately, stating, "Stop trying to read me Angel."

"Then stop trying to avoid me!" I protest while he ignores me again. "Kare.. look at me.." He only lets out a sigh. "Say something"

Altough Kare had turned towards me, he still isn't replying.

"You asked me to look... I am looking.."

"Now I am asking you to speak" I smile, telling him but he seems to be in no mood for it.

"Not your puppet.."

Okay that's it. I pull his wrist, holding it tight. Although he tries to get rid of my hand, my hold is strong and he can't let go. That's when I sense it. Sadness.

Before I can find the reason, Rett's voice comes over making me leave my hold.

"Good morning sugar" nodding at Rett, I look back at Kare, whispering.

"Please talk to me"

Imitating my tone, he talks. "There is nothing to talk"

"Fine. Your loss." Stating that, I walk away. It's only till a point that I can convince a person to talk to me. After that he is on his own.

Walking to my bedroom, I feel the rumbling in my stomach again. But I am not going to sit downstairs with a grumpy cat while he decides to not talk. I can arrange for my own food.

I pull a granola bar while scrolling through the social media to check on what my siblings are doing. The most beloved of them all, Ares, has been always been doing one of the other fun stuff.

He is dad's second favorite although he doesn't agree that I am first. Dialing him, I wait for response.

"Hello there Little one.." his perky voice comes across.

"I am not that little"

He laughs, retorting "You are.."

"Well then you are centuries old"

"I pride myself in that"

And just like that we fight again. Ares has been the elder sibling, who took care of me most of the time when dad was away. Mother Hera and he had never treated me any different, although I was both without a mother in existence.

Ares had always been a concerned sibling, his questions reflected the same. "How is your roommate? Is she a god or Demi?"

"He is not god or Demi. And They are hot.."

I emphasize on 'They'.

Ares concern comes across again when he questions further, "God.. little one, You are staying with whom?" I restrain myself from talking but Area has been good at getting people to confess. "Come on.. you know I will protect you from dad if need be.."

After a slight hesitation, I reply. "Fine. It's the... The seven cardinal sins.."

There is silence on the call for a minute. Even I become concerned over his act. Ares was never one to shy away from taunting me. But today, he didn't.

"Hello.. are you there brother"

"Yes yes I am.." I hear a soft laughter before he proceeds further. "Wow you really are a wild one.. And we all underestimated you"

Mocking him, I too reply. "Yes you did.."

"So how are they?"

I don't want to reveal any details to my own brother so I keep it light. "They are nice.. Good boys"

"They might be good boys.. But are you a good girl?"

Nope. I am a really really bad girl. But I am not going to state that to my elder brother now, am I?

"Yup. Real good"

We talk for a bit more before ending the call, at which point I rethink of my decision of fighting with Kare bear. He was sad, that much I could sense.

But why? He was really nice to me from day one and I want to know the reason which he seems to be hiding from me.

Walking out of the room, I run downstairs and that's when my vision blurs.

What happened.. did I fall? Is it because of the exhaustion? Why can't I open my eyes.

I could hear sounds. Distant sounds. Maybe it's them. They must have seen me fall and now I must be having a concussion.

But as the voices near, I realize it's not a man's voice but a woman's.

"Does she know we are here" the whispering continues. It's dark and I couldn't make out who it is that the voice is referring to. "Why is she here?" the voice continued.

They are talking to someone. There are more people. I don't know where I am or what I am trapped in. I have no recollection whatsoever.

How did I even land here? I need to get out.. But how..?

I recall all the things which my dad told me now. I have lost too much power to conjure up anything and my divine powers have long gone. It's only residual that's left and that's why dad sent me here.

God.. little did he knew that his daughter would be trapped in a portal somewhere.

I call out to him, hoping he could hear me. "Dad... dad can you hear me?"

Nothing.

I lay in the state of total and complete darkness that crushes my soul itself.

The voice continued, "Who is she calling?"

I try talking to the voices which I can hear. "Hello.. can you hear me?"

I feel like being lifted off the ground and places on something warm and soft. After what seems like minutes of more darkness, my eyes open. The intense light in the room make me flinch while the curtain are drawn back.

Slowly opening my eyes, I see Kare standing in front of me. He was concerned. Taking a seat next to me on the bed, he sighed as his gaze travelled over my almost lifeless body.

I look around the room, beautifully decorated with photos and picture by artists to my realization that it's not my room. Unlike the two other bedrooms I have been in, three including mine, this one is beautifully decorated and reeks of Kare's creativity.

"How are you feeling?" his voice to was concerning.

For the first time since I entered the house, I might be seeing Kare not smile.

Pulling up, I answer. "I am fine. I don't know what happened.."

"You were on the bottom for the stairs. Thankfully I was walking back after cleaning so I saw you and bought you here" he ran his hand through his soft hair before telling me, "Another minute and I would have to call the in house doctor."

I felt a warm feeling emanating inside, the way his concerned face tells me what he saw. "Did you see what happened.. I have no recollection?"

"No. I didn't even hear a sound.. Strange for someone who fell down the stairs"

I cracked up, "Maybe I am so light, I don't make sound"

"You are light. I realized it when I carried you, but not so much that there isn't even a tiny bit of sound."

Even he didn't see what happened to me. But this was the right opportunity for me to ask him on what bothered me.

"Karebear. If I ask you something will you tell me honestly" Another smile and nod. "Were you sad today morning because of me?"

I ask him point blank. He has to answer now. But all he does is get up from the bed.

"You need to rest. I will get you something to eat.. You must be starving"

Before he could walk out, I tug his hand, stopping him. This time I don't use my magic. I use me to stop him. Kneeling on the bed, I match his height while gazing into his eyes.

Taking his face with both my hands, I bring him close to me. We don't kiss. Instead we stare into each other's eyes while the waves of intoxication through mesmerizing looks spreads through us.

I whisper, "If it's me, then you have to tell me Karebear..."

Never have I ever given so much attention to anyone but Kare was different. He was close to being a human than any of us. One whom I couldn't resist.

"I want you Angel" his voice was almost inaudible. "I wanted you all to myself yesterday night."

Ohh god. It breaks my heart to see him sad and telling me the truth.

"You have me!"

He nods, now holding my face in his hand. "No. It's not the same."

He kisses my forehead and walks away while I fall back on his bed thinking and contemplating what he meant.

What does he mean? It's not the same. That I am not a virgin anymore? Or I am a war-spoil now? Someone who was there for his brothers but because he couldn't have me first, he can't have me now.

I get off the bed in anger, walking towards the kitchen where Kare is busy doing his preps, probably for me.

Raising my voice I speak. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY IT'S NOT THE SAME. THAT I AM NOT GOOD ENOUGH ANYMORE."

He turns, surprised at the voice before walking towards me with both hands suggesting I lower my tone. All it does is aggravate my temper further.

"I did not mean it like that angel"

"THEN WHAT IS IT.. Because if you clearly have a problem with it, then I would do something about staying here"

I walk back after shouting at Kare, into my room and start packing my stuff.

I would rather stay with a mortal than this bunch, probably half of whom think I am a slut by now and for the other half, I am ruined. Packing my things, I open the door where Kare stands, blocking.

"You are not going anywhere" he picks up my bags and suitcase all in one hand, tossing them towards a corner.

"You fucking boys need to lean not to toss things around"

I was clearly talking of yesterday night when being picked up and tossed felt like necessary. But today changed that feeling. Before I could state anything else, he gets inside the room, locking it while picking me up and tossing me AGAIN on the bed.

"What did I just say.." the tone was higher than usual, annoyed at his ignorance.

"I don't listen to you yapping half the time"

I ball my hand and fist him and all that does is hurt me.

"Happy?" he asks with a smile on his face while I do the ignoring. Kneeling down, he picks up my chin to meet his eyes, while talking. "What I meant was telling you my insecurity"

I turn to him completely. "What insecurity?"

He contemplates for a moment. Placing my hand over his, I ask him again. He takes a deep breath before speaking.

"I, of all my brothers, have certain qualities which are good to lure a mortal to sin, but not good enough to pleasure a woman"

God is he opening up to me?

"Why would you say that?"

Yet another deep exhale, "I have seen it before. Women who were with my brothers and later me.."

I don't let him finish his sentence. It breaks my heart that such a soft, kind soul felt like that about me.

Kissing his lips, I slowly play my tongue over his with him slowly opening his mouth and tasting me. I intensify the kiss. With softly biting of the lower lip, he smiles at the gesture.

"You don't have to pity me.. I have been here before.." he whispers, still holding over my lips.

"What do I have to do if I want to feel you instead?" was a whisper which came out.

I look up at him as his face changes expression faster than my eyelids could blink.
Running my hand over his belt, he holds my face, waiting to see what I am up to.
Pulling his belt and pant off, I slide my hand from under his boxer to touch his warm member.

He closes his eyes, his hand take mine off from his erection and guides the boxer to fall off. I slowly take it in my mouth, rolling and flicking it with my tongue as I throat him, gagging.

His moans make me happy as I take his erection in my mouth and tears slide down my eyes with the sensation. Sucking him harder while he holds my head, he bites his lower lip watching me. My gaze remain fixed on his while taking his enlargement, moving the skin with my tandem hand motion.

Another softer moan later, he pulls me off him, taking me up as he guides his hands to quickly disrobe me. He takes his shirt too and I touch the perfect abs this man had. Rock hard ones which I want to be slammed against.

Kare was right. He can make me feel the need to have him. The need of the flesh as he said. Clothes fallen, he carries me to bed and placing his head tilted forward against the headboard.

Before I can straddle myself onto his dick, he  voice stops me. "Come" his eyes instructed the remaining. "I want to taste you"

"I...don't..." suddenly, I was intimidated.

"What.. you have never done it?" his lips curved into a smirk.

Well to be precise, I started having sex since yesterday.

He pulls me all the way to his face while I widen my legs on both sides of his head, kneeling down while holding the headboard. He presses me down further while I almost sit as he tongues my wet folds and massages my aching bud.

The sensation of being over someone's mouth while they are sucking you is a totally different one. With one hand I balance myself onto the headboard while with the other I pull his face closer to my pussy, moving my hips in alignment to his tongue.

God he is turning me on so much. I can't take it.. I will release.

Kare takes his hands, straddling onto my hips and putting me back onto the bed while making me lean at an angle elevating my folds to his face as he continues grinding his face over me.

With the tongue play that he did, I release into his mouth while my legs give up and I descent from the elevation and the ecstasy, onto the bed, panting.

"You taste ambrosial" I swoon at his comment while turning on the bed, exposing from behind. "You like it like that.. huh angel"

I giggle and nod.

It doesn't take long for his to insert himself inside of me. I get pushed forward in pleasure and force. Grabbing my hips he slams himself into me, thrusting him inside as his balls slap against my body.

Holding my hair and pulling it back he arches me while increasing the intensity and kissing me from behind, running his tongue over my lips and mouth.

"MOAN LOUDER" was his rumbled instruction and I obliged.

With every thrust, the intensity increases making me inch closer and closer to release. Grabbing onto the sheet, I moaned into it, my eyes saw black and I was closer when I pulled the sheet onto me.

I release followed by him inside. He thrust a couple of more times releasing completely while I take the last of his warm juices that flood me inside and drip out. Turning me on the bed, he takes a blanket, wrapping both of us.

I have not asked anyone else this but with him, I wanted to know. "Was I.... Good?" That was how much Kare mattered.

"Angel." He runs his hand over my cheeks and into my hair pulling me closer to his lips, whispering. "You made me feel as close as one can get to God.."

His answers makes me blush even more as I drift off to a peaceful sleep in his warm embrace while he kisses my forehead and eyelids.
