    Summary

    “I thought you had not played this game.”
    Penelope smiled, idly rubbing her thumb along the small stone in her hand as she finally glanced up and met his stare. “Is that what I said?”
    He didn't immediately reply. His dark eyes held hers for a long moment in which she forgot to breathe entirely. Then, a smirk spread across his face.
    “No,” he admitted, tilting his head as he continued to study her. “It is not.”
    She placed her stone, fully surrounding his final piece on the board, then grasped it in her palm, and brought it over to her side with all of his others that she had taken.
    “Well played, Princess Penelope.” Odysseus bowed slightly, though his gaze never left her.
    She returned the gesture, using all of her willpower to keep her voice steady, despite the warmth that surged through her as he said her name. “You fought mightily, my lord, to the last.”
    “Not enough to win,” he sighed, though his smirk had not lessened, and he appeared to be observing her far closer than he ever had before. “I admit defeat.”
    Oh, Penelope thought as she straightened once more and her smile grew, I have not won yet. But I will.

    Summary

    Odysseus, Prince and Knight of Ithaca, knows he will not be chosen as Princess Helen's husband and protector, no matter how well he performs in the tournament for her hand. He came to gather information and forge allies, but most of all to prove what he — and Ithaca — were capable of. It was the path laid out before him by the Goddess Athena, and would lead to greatness.

    But, a chance encounter in Sparta's marketplace changes everything, and challenges the entire course of his life and purpose...

    “Though it is in Princess Helen’s name, I know other ladies may offer their favor,” he went on, and while his words didn’t waver his heart seemed caught in his throat, even as it drummed powerfully against his ribs. The noisy chatter of other conversations threatened to drown him out, and he leaned toward her again, unable to look away from her gaze. “Will you be offering yours?”

    The flush returned to her cheeks, and her smile bloomed wide. “That depends,” she said, after a moment of thought, lovely eyes soft and sweet, “on who is looking to earn it.”

    Summary

    The first year of Penelope and Odysseus’s marriage was full of new discoveries: of him, of herself, and who they were together. What joys and hopes and desires they already shared, and what they awoke in one another.

    Recently, Penelope had made such a discovery, one she was eager to further explore…

    Summary

    “I will not stop loving you because of violence or guilt. You are my husband, and I swear by it.”
    “I will never be the same as I was when you swore that to me.”
    “Neither will I.” She stopped to remove her robes without ceremony, and Odysseus was struck, for the first time in twenty years, with the sight of her naked body, a sight he had so frequently dreamed of. She gestured to the lines across her stomach and thighs from carrying Telemachus, held the softness of her hips where wrinkles were slowly forming. “We are no longer twenty, Odysseus, and I didn’t marry you to stay twenty forever.”

    Odysseus and Penelope catch up on lost time after twenty years apart.

    Summary

    “But that changes now. I’ll willingly take care of you. Think of it as another adventure of Andy and Leyley, if you must,” he explains, beginning to press brief kisses into her hair and across her face, which is now mostly dried.

    “Hahah, reallyyyy,” she asks ecstatic, needing to contain herself from getting too giddy from how nice his kisses feel. “Wait, can I name it? Your titles are pretty fucking bad anyway—”

    “And it’s titled: teaching little Ashley to be good.”

    Or: what will happen if Ashley seems to take an interest in anything that isn’t the man Andrew himself?
