“You could come visit,” she suggested, tugging at the open lapels of my tunic. “Mother respects you—I daresay more than she respects me. I’d like her to get to know you a little.”
“Isn’t she still holding a candle for Cryssa?” I asked with a raised brow.
She shrugged, pulling back to gaze into my eyes. “If she is, then too fucking bad.”
My jaw parted in surprise. “Was that a rare Olympia curse?”
“You bet your ass it was.”
A snort of laughter turned into a fit of giggles and we found ourselves behaving like pups again under the last rays of the sun.
Her fingers twined with my own, and she brought our joined hands to her lips for a soft kiss.
“I’m glad you tried to kill me,” I teased, tongue-in-cheek.
Olly rolled her eyes, a smile creasing her lips.
“I should’ve picked a better assassin,” she said, squeezing my fingers. “Someone who would’ve finished the job.”
The teasing words warmed my heart in a peculiar way. Although we stood shoulder to shoulder with our fingers entwined, it didn’t seem close enough. Perhaps nothing would. The urge to shed our clothes, our jewelry, our very skin was overpowering. I wished to know Olympia inside and out—remove any mysteries that still remained in our relationship.
I wanted her bare before me; I wanted to bare myself to her.
But there would be time for that yet. She was my future, and I hers.
“You’re gonna pay for that once my leg is better,” I assured her.
Her laughter was soft as the breeze.
“Bring it on, dummy.”
