“Alongphase,” I sigh as the two of them crack up.
An hour later, Nora looks like she’s ready to fall asleep at the table. She yawns, stretching her arms as she stands.
“All right, I’m going to bed. You guys can make out or whatever now.”
I roll my eyes at her. “Love ya. ’Night.”
She makes over-the-top kissy faces at the two of us before she heads back inside and disappears into the guest room.
And I’m suddenly very aware of two things: one, that I’ve been kind of craving Hades’ touch all night, ever since he swooped in like a black knight to clear the apartment for us. And two, we’re alone now.
“You know what I think?”
I flush, realizing I’ve been staring at Hades, lost in thought, while he’s been looking right at me.
“Uh, what?”
His jaw tightens.
“I think you should come here.”
Heat floods my core as I bite my lip. But slowly I stand, knocking back the rest of my wine before I saunter around the table.
“Where, specifically?”
He pats his lap. “Right here.”
Blushing, I start to move to his lap. I shudder when he yanks me onto him faster, pulling me astride his legs, facing him. My breath catches as his big hands circle my waist, squeezing as they slide up my back into my hair. And before I know it, my mouth is dipping to his, and I’m kissing him deeply.
His tongue delves between my lips, teasing and tasting me as I writhe on his lap. It’s like a Pavlovian response I get now just from being near him. My hips grind and roll, and my pulse thuds as I kiss him fiercely.
Tell him.
The thought is like a cold blade lancing into me. It’s been burning a hole in the front of my brain for weeks: it has to come out, especially with what we are to each other now. Whatever this is, whatever label we want to give it.
Hades needs to know Leo Stavrin is my father, even if I want nothing to do with him. The longer I go on not telling him, the worse it will be when I finally do.
“I have to tell you something,” I blurt quietly.
Hades lifts a brow, eyeing me.
“Do you now.”
“I…”
My eyes lock with his fierce icy-blues, and suddenly, I’m lost, and my nerve vanishes in the face of the fierce god looking back at me.
I smile, shaking my head.
“It can wait.”
It has to. I can’t bring myself to ruin this perfect moment with something like this.
“You’re sure?”
“Positive.”
“Good,” he growls. “Because I’m not sureIcan.”
