She remembered the words she had whispered to him in the back of the limo after La Rose. \"You will worship me, and I won't even have to order you.\" His request felt sinful and devious, and she reveled in it.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eShe answered, \"Yes.\"Persephone is the Goddess of Spring in title only.
