“That sounds like a lot,” I said.
She sighed. “It feels like a lot but, if it’s what I need to do, then it’s what I need to do. Miss D’Arras thinks I’ve got a real shot but fuck it’s a load of work. I shouldn’t have left it all to the last minute.”
“You shouldn’t have, but you wouldn’t be you if you didn’t,” I reminded her, and she smiled.
“If you’re in need of stress relief,” Marco said with a sinfully sexy grin all for her, “ye know where I am.”
“Do you want to get out of here?” Apollo whispered in my ear as his thumb rubbed my clit more firmly. I was pretty sure I knew what he had in mind.
I turned to look at him and our noses brushed. He pressed a kiss to my lips and nudged my nose with his. His eyes were bright with humour.
Being with him like this, my heart fluttered, and I couldn’t stop smiling. I felt like the walls of my prison had stopped closing in, like my planned life wasn’t going to just be utter shit being married to a man I’d lost all connection with. We still had a long way to go, but the possibility was there.
It just needed fostering and exploring and, just then, I was more than happy to foster and explore it.
So, I bit my lip, ran my hand further up his leg and leant my forehead to his. “What did you have in mind?”
He grinned with all the sexy charm that Apollo Callahan possessed. “My room is awfully lonely...”
“Oh, you talk to inanimate objects now, do you?” I laughed.
“Babe, I’m fucking God. I know everything.”
He couldn’t even get through the first sentence without laughing and I joined him. He brushed some hair from my face and looked me over, full of warmth and... And love.
“What do you say?” he asked. “Interested?”
I pretended to think about it, like it was a hardship. “Okay, but I get to pick the movie.”
Apollo leant his lips to my ear. “I wasn’t planning on watching a movie,” he said, then nipped my earlobe playfully.
My nipples responded and so did my clit.
I leant into Apollo, my hand sliding up his leg and stopping just shy of his crotch. I saw the heat in those deep sapphire eyes. Heat for me. I could see how much he wanted me. I could see he was thinking about all the things he wanted to do to me. With me.
I wanted that, too. I wanted to explore this. Us.
“I like the sound of that,” I told him.
Relief flooded his eyes, like part of him had thought I’d shut him down. That there was my Apollo, Frenella’s boy. The one who I knew, without a doubt, loved me.
I kissed him, took his hand, and stood up.
“You leaving?” Gage asked as he looked between me and Apollo.
Apollo wrapped his arm around my shoulders. “We are. We’ll be in my room. I don’t want to be interrupted.”
Gage looked us over with a slightly less amused eye than Marco.
“What do you want us to do about the race?” Gage asked.
Apollo shrugged. “You know what to do if anything goes wrong. There is no circumstance in which you come to me tonight, understood?”
Gage saluted and Marco nodded. Beside them, Fender both saluted and nodded.
“God’s word is law,” Fender said with a wry smirk.
Apollo nodded. “You know it. We’ll see you lot tomorrow.”
