“Trying to kick your ass.”
The sound of the door handle moving had both women looking at the doorway.
“Leave,” Zerina warned, the tape across her mouth preventing her from snapping at the woman when she saw her jump up from her relaxed position, only to sit crossed-legged on the bed again.
The door opened wider, showing Hades, and Zerina swallowed hard, keeping her gaze away from Jinx. She could practically hear her panting at the vision standing in the doorway.
To say Hades was seductively handsome would be an understatement. It was whispered among the immortals that Mother had sent Hades to the Underworld to protect him from the jealousy of the other Gods. Staring at him, Zerina believed it.
She wanted to rip his clothes off and lick every inch of his body and then go back for seconds. Although she was a virgin who had never been touched by a male’s hand, her body ached for his, as if he alone could quench the fire within her. Regardless, she had been taught since birth to control her emotions, and she did so now with iron control, despite the voice in her mind telling her she was lost and alone, so why not enjoy herself until she was rescued?
Zerina glared at Jinx sitting at the bottom of the bed, placing the thought in her mind.
Jinx gave her a mischievous smile then returned her attention to Hades.
“My love, I just received a visit from your mother. It seems she is concerned about your safety.”
The indifferent statement goaded her anger. Her mother would be worried sick, and the fact that he found it amusing made her want to smack the smirk from his face.

Leaning against the doorframe, his arms elegantly crossed against his chest, Hades didn’t try to conceal the mocking twist of his mouth as he stared at the beauty on his bed.
Zerina’s glorious blue eyes shot sparks of temper in his direction; however, the gag he had tied around her mouth kept her from yelling the obscenities at him he had become familiar with since her arrival. Her hands were tied to a hook he had placed conveniently at the head of his bed. It was one of the most tempting sights Hades had ever seen, and he had seen it all.
“She seems to think your gentle, little soul might be in danger. She doesn’t know you at all, does she?” He walked forward to the bed, reaching his hand out to trail his fingers up a slim thigh that was visible since her gown had ridden up in her struggles.
Zerina’s foot snapped out, attempting to kick him.
Hades burst out laughing. “No, she doesn’t know you at all, but I have an idea, and what I don’t know, I have every intention of finding out.”
