Poseidon laughed."I can't say for sure, but thatdoessound like Dion.He's devious like that."He raised the basket and knocked off the excess oil before emptying the basket onto a piece of kitchen towel to dry them off.
My mouth watered, and I had to admit that I was really looking forward to trying these.Everything Poseidon had made me to eat so far had been delicious, and I was sure these would be no different.And there was something charming about the comfort food he seemed to enjoy making when he wasn't making gourmet menus for his restaurant.
He plated the olives and set the dish down in front of me with a couple of olive forks beside it.His knee brushed against mine as he took a seat next to me, only reminding me of how good it had felt to have his hands on me earlier.
I stabbed one of the olives and blew on it a few times to make sure that it wasn't too hot.I bit into it, enjoying the crunch of the breading on the outside, along with the tanginess of the olive and the creaminess of the feta.The whole thing was that delicious level of saltiness that made things irresistible.
"Mmm, those are good," I said as I helped myself to another one.
"I'm glad you think so.They're one of my favourite go-to snacks when I'm in the mood for something salty."
"I can see why.They're very satisfying."
"I wouldn't want to send you away from my home disappointed."
I bumped my knee against his."I'm sure that won't be happening."
"Definitely not."
"So, other than an amazing kitchen and the biggest fish tank I think I've seen outside an aquarium, what other features does your home have?"
"The standard things," he said."A couple of bedrooms, a living room, a walk-in pantry..."
"Mmm, not totally normal that one."
"Maybe not.But I love having a range of ingredients to work with.So it was non-negotiable for me.As was the hot tub."
"A hot tub?"I asked."A private one?"
"Mmhmm."
"Where is it?"
He waved towards two glass doors that led out of the kitchen.
"Is it on?"I loved the idea of taking a dip with him in the hot tub more than I should.
"It can be," he responded."If you want it to be.Though I don't really have any swimwear you can borrow."
"I wasn't planning on wearing any."I met his gaze as I popped another stuffed olive into my mouth.
He let out a slight groan, but it seemed to be a good one."Be my guest."
"Oh, I shall."The anticipation was back, and this time, it was for a lot more than a kiss.
Chapter10
POSEIDON
There was absolutely no denying the direction of my thoughts as I made my way out to the hot tub, and that was mostly coming from the knowledge that Laila was already there waiting for me, and that she was naked and seemed to be looking forward to that.
I paused for a moment when I caught her admiring my body.She looked good herself, the water covering most of her, save for the tops of her shoulders, and her black hair tied up into a bun at the top of her head.
"Like what you see?"I asked as I slipped into the water, aware of what the answer was going to be here.
"Would I be here if I didn't?"
"I thought you were here because you liked my food."I grinned at her, but only because I knew that was at least a little bit true.
