We’d been lucky thatthe God of War hadn’t known my strength when my shield resisted his Glory. It would have shattered within seconds if he hadn’t pulled back his power.
The demigods had been strained to the extreme to shield me. I could feel their exhaustion. The tension hadn’t left them, even though the god was gone.

“I appreciate it,” I said, “but you can’t always treat me like fragile glass.”
Héctor produced a handkerchief and wiped the blood from my nose.
“It was just nosebleed,” I grunted.
The demigods ignored my protests and started to inspect me, hands groping my person. It was an inappropriate place to feel pleasure when they touched me, but my body seemed to be their instrument in any setting. Their touch was like the fire song in my veins, igniting me.
I arched my back and suppressed moans.

“We’ll be fine, Cookie,” Axel said, trying to conceal the fatigue and lingering anger in his voice.
