Ben's POV

I was sitting at the desk in my bedroom working on the orders to send with the guards for Hades pick up. It was early and Mal was still sleeping. I looked over at her. It was a bit of a shock finding out that Hades is her father. She never spoke about her dad and I never really asked. I don't know why, but I always thought she didn't know who her father was so bringing it up seemed insensitive. I don't think Carlos and Jay had any idea either. They seemed just as surprised as me.

I had some unanswered questions. Mal and I didn't get to talk much last night. It was decided that I would send the guards around mid-morning to get Hades. Celia said she would show them where to find him because she was going back with Uma, Harry, and Gil. Everyone went back to Evie's for the night while I returned home. I went straight to my office sending notices to the council members to notify them of the situation. A few members called after receiving their notification and I had to reassure them we were taking all precautions. After many emails and a few calls I decided to call it a night.

I walked into my room and was surprised to see Mal sound asleep in my bed. I smiled at the thought that she must have wanted to be close to me. I'm sure she could sense my apprehension and worry. I stripped down to my boxers and climbed in bed behind her pulling her to my chest. I kissed her cheek before snuggling in and quickly falling asleep.

"Ben" I heard Mal say from the bed, pulling me out of my daydream.

"Good morning" I said my voice sounded flat to my own ears.

"Are you Ok?" she asked as she climbed out of bed and walked over to me wearing just a tank top and cotton shorts. I reached up and grabbed her wrist and tugged her down to sit in my lap. I pulled her into a hug placing my my face in the crook of her neck to just smell her. This always seemed to calm me.

"Yes, just worried" I breathed into her neck.

"I'm worried too if I'm being honest" she said. One of her hands was stroking my hair while the other rested on my chest. I pulled back to look at her. I stared at her for a moment and then asked what I have been dying to know since last night.

"Tell me about Hades. Have you always known he's your father?"

She sighed but not in a bad way. "Yes I have always known" she admitted gripping the t-shirt I put on this morning with the hand that was on my chest as if she thought I may get angry. I rubbed my hand up and down her thigh to let her know I was ok. "He left when I was a baby and never really had any contact" she went on. "Up until yesterday Evie was the only one who knew he was my dad." I sat in silence for a bit processing this.

"I guess that explains why you didn't fight quite as hard when he was trying to come through the barrier" I said breaking the silence. She just nodded her head. "So why didn't you tell me?" I asked. I could feel her body tense and I knew she thought I was angry. "Hey" I said placing my fingers against her chin turning her face so she was looking at me. "I'm not mad. Just curious" I said softly to her.

"It's just... he was never a dad to me, I thought he never cared about me. So I just wanted to live my life like he didn't exist. Although now I think maybe he does care" she poured out.

"And why do you think that? I inquired.

"He said some things that made me think that maybe he wanted to be a part of my life. Plus he gave me the ember without too much argument or questioning for that matter" she stated matter-of-factly.

"I see, and how do you feel about all of this?" I asked next. She took a while to answer.

"I guess I kinda feel like I missed out on a relationship with him. I wish he would have tried." she said with a shrug.

I pulled her into another hug to comfort her. We pulled back from each other and she pushed her lips into mine and I felt her hand cup my face. I ran my hand along her jaw and pushed my fingers into her hair near her neck deepening our kiss as I dipped my tongue into her mouth. She pulled back slowly breaking our kiss. My hand remained in her hair and I rubbed the strands between my fingers and thumb.

"So what's with the blue?" I asked with a slight grin.

"Oh It was an effect from the ember. When we came back through the barrier after I got it I felt the power of the ember wash over me. The Hades side of me I guess" she told me. "Do you like it?" she asked.

"I like it if you like it" I told her. She lifted her hair up to look at it.

"I think I do. Besides I was due for a change" she said with a smile. I looked over at the clock and saw that it was almost eight.

"I gotta jump in the shower. We should probably head over to Audrey's dorm around ten" I told her and she stood up to let me stand. I kissed her forehead before I walked into my bathroom leaving the door open as an invitation for her to join me. I opened the glass shower door and turned on the water to let it warm up while I pulled off my shirt. I turned to toss it in the hamper and saw Mal leaning against the door jam staring at me. Feeling playful I toss my shirt at her instead and quickly dropped my boxers kicking them out of the way. She was still staring, now hold my shirt.

"Like what you see" I teased.

"I love it" she flirted back. "Mind if I join you?" she asked stepping into the bathroom and closing the door. Before I could answer she dropped my shirt into the hamper and reached her hands to the bottom of her tank top and pulled it up over her head. Her nipples already beaded up. I was getting hard watching her. Her hands dropped to the waistband of her shorts and she hooked her thumbs in the edge and pulled them down slowly. Obviously trying to seduce me and it was totally working. I watched as she pulled her shorts all the way down then stood back up holding them in her hand out to the side then letting them go to drop to the floor. Like yesterday, she had no panties on. I was so turned on by her strip tease. She walked towards me and reached her hand up running it across my chest as she opened the shower door and stepped in.

I stepped into the shower with her and grabbed her waist pulling her to me. "Tease" I whispered in her ear and she giggled. I pulled her arms up to wrap them around my neck then I ran my hands down her back over her ass to the back of her thighs and lifted her wrapping her legs around my waist. I pushed her back up against the wall of the shower with the warm water running my back. "I want you so bad right now" I grunted before dropping my head and taking her nipple into my mouth, teasing it with my tongue, lightly sucking until I heard the sweet sounds I love so much.

"Mmm Ben" she moaned out. She started to grind into me. This wasn't going to take long on either of our parts I thought to myself. I trailed my lips over to the other breast, licking the droplets of water running down her chest. I was so hard for her as my erection rested underneath her in the crease of her ass. She reached down and wrapped her hand around me to pull it in between us. I groaned when she released me and began to side her warm center up and down my member, coating me in her desire. I don't know why but I felt unusually sensitive, like I could blow at any moment.

"Baby" I said as I gripped her thighs and shifted back and down to side into her as far as I could go. She let out soft groan and I remained still trying to control myself. I reached a hand up and gently squeezed her perfect breast rolling her nipple between my finger and thumb, while I pressed my lips to her neck. I needed her on the same level before I could start to move. She moaned again and started to move her hips needing me.

"Ben please" she pleaded in my ear.

"Tell me what you want baby" I teased as I pulled out and pushed back in once and held still again.

"Ohhh" she groaned. "Move baby!" she demanded. She stared into my eyes. "Make love to me" she breathed. How could I deny her. I started to move. Stroking in and out of her slowly. I looked down to where our bodies were connected and had to close my eyes. The sight did nothing for trying to control myself. I needed her to cum. I started talking knowing it would get her there faster.

"Look down baby. Watch me make love to you" I said to her. She dropped her head letting out a loud moan and I felt her flutter around me as she watched me move in and out of her. I continued to talk "See how much I want you". I started to pick up the pace, pushing hard into her. "Feel how hard I am for you" I said before kissing her fervently.

"Oh god Ben" she called out and I knew she was almost there. I needed to change the angle to hit that sweet spot inside her. I reached my hands to the inside of her legs hooking her legs over my hands as I gripped just behind her knees. I took a fraction of a step back so I could tilt her hips up while her upper back was still pressed firmly to the tile wall. Her hands gripped my forearms and I started to push in hard and steady. She fluttered around me again, she just needed a little push to send her over the edge.

"Cum for me. Cum all over me baby" I encouraged. I felt her walls squeeze me as she came.

"Oh fuck babe!" she cried out her body jerking with the force of her orgasm. The sight was enough for me and I spilled deep inside her.

After a few moments I pulled out, causing her to moan softly, and placed her feet down on the floor. "Shall we actually shower now?" I asked with a smug grin.

"As long as you can keep you hands to yourself. You know I can't control myself when you are naked and touching me" she flirted. I just chuckled.

We quickly dressed so that we could meet my parents downstairs to head to the dorms. I put on my navy suit with a navy shirt, foregoing a tie and jacket and just wearing a navy waistcoat. Mal wore a blush colored shirt with a matching blush brocade skirt. She pulled her hair back into a low ponytail. My eyes were drawn to the spot where I had marked her. It was so light you could just barely see it. I watched as she was able to cover it easily with make-up. We left the room and made our way to the dorms with my parents.

I was becoming a little overwhelmed standing in Audrey's room waiting. Queen Leah was here along with Fairy Godmother. I had already asked Fairy Godmother if there was anything she could do, trying to find any solution before bringing a feared villain over. She said that since this was cause by the Hades' ember he was the only one who could reverse it and because Mal was only part Hades she was unable to do it. She had already tried.

Soon enough my father opened the door and the guards walked in with Hades. Mal walked up to him with a little apprehension of her own thanking him for coming. "Can you wake her?" I asked taking a step toward them.

"Since when do heros care about villains?" he asked me sarcastically.

"She's..." I started.

"One of your own?" he cut in. He went on about locking up villains for the same crimes and he had a point. This was a very hypocritical situation. I could see that now that he pointed it out. He lifted his hands startling Mal a bit. "I'm gonna need to use my hands" he told us. Mal looked to me for the go ahead and I nodded my consent. Mal handed over the ember to him and we were all on guard as we watch his power ignite. He had a small pissing contest with my father before Mal called out to him. He seemed to have a snarky but kind of harmless attitude which calmed my nerves slightly but I kept my guard up as he moved closer. He stepped to the end of the bed. He began to wave the ember over Audrey and the room glowed blue for a few moments before we saw the magic wake Audrey.

As Audrey spoke, you could hear the regret in her voice and the sincerity in her apology. We all had something to apologize for. It was a little shocking to hear Queen Leah apologize to Mal. She had blamed Mal for the heartache Maleficent had caused her family from the moment she met Mal. She had often pushed Audrey at me which at times strained my relationship with Mal. Hopefully with our engagement and everything that had happen this would all end.

They began to march Hades back out to return him to the Isle. I watched Mal walk out after them. I stepped to follow her but thought better of it, giving her a moment with her dad.

Soon after we returned to the castle, giving Audrey time with her family. Mal was quiet and a little pensive as we stepping inside.

"Mal" I said pulling her form her thoughts. "Are you ok?" I asked.

"Yeah. Just missing what I never had" she told me.

"Well you will always have me" I said pulling her into my arms. She smiled at me.

"And you will always have me. For better or worse" she said back placing a soft kiss on my lips.

"I love you" I said sincerely.

"I love you too" she replied back. I spent the rest of the afternoon in a meeting discussing ways o tighten security at the museum now that the stolen items ad been returned and Mal spent the rest of the afternoon with my mom, planning our engagement party no doubt.
