In the heat of the moment, your heroine forgot one thing about Greek Myth: when mortal women sleep with gods, they get pregnant. Hermes may have wanted to sire a new god in case the old gods all died.

Scott- pardon if this gives too much away, but one of my pet peeves is showing a woman having sex and then having her BAM get pregnant. Kinda like how a woman is not allowed to vomit in TV without being pregnant. (Yeah, I know, it’s happened before, but most of the time… Hey, when Boomer threw up in BSG I knew at once she was pregnant.) I hate plot devices like that - sometimes people have sex and it’s fun with little or no strings attached. Usually this is told from the male POV. This time, we got the woman’s side. Yeah, it may stray from the mythology, but I’m OK with that.

Glad you’re enjoying it!

The wife and I are enjoying Heaven, and it glad you’re sharing it.

You mentioned keeping two browsers open to watch 2 gmail accounts. You need the Gmail manager plugin for Firefox. Kinda like gmail notifier, but sits down in your status bar and lets you track any number of gmail accounts, then gives you one click login if you have mail. Couldn’t live without it. I’m not going to bother linking here assuming there’s a spam-link blocker, but search on addons.mozilla for “gmail manager” and it’ll be one of the first hits.

You’re quite right that an enjoyable sexual encounter told from a woman’s point of view is rare, at least in the books that I read, and that makes your story more original. I like your observation that if a woman throws up in a film or TV show, she’s pregnant. I never noticed that. It’s like the rule that if a character in a film coughs, that character is dying of disease.
