“Come find us at the arena when you’re ready,” Adrian says with a wistful sigh, and drags his feet through the doorway, as though he wishes he could stay with us.
I wish they could too, but I’m glad that this will give me a chance to have my god of destruction all to myself.
“Alone at least,” I murmur, pressing a soft kiss to Maximus’ lips. He groans at the soft touch and immediately captures my mouth with his, his tongue wasting no time delving between my lips and caressing my own in long, languid strokes.
“This house has been too crowded lately,” he grunts, adjusting his grip on me and slipping one arm under my legs to cradle me against his chest.
I giggle as I wrap my arms around his neck, and he lifts us from the couch, marching his way over to the stairs like a man on a mission. “I missed you, princess.”
“I missed you too,” I breathe. These last few weeks have been a whirlwind, and I almost feel like I’ve been on autopilot, moving from one adventure to the next without enough time for my guys.
“I wish we could have the house to ourselves more often,” he grumbles. He strides up the stairs, taking them two at a time in his haste, making a laugh bubble up from my lips.
“There will be plenty of time for that.” I press a kiss to his cheek, but he quickly turns, capturing my lips as he climbs the last stair. I close my eyes and let him take control, trusting him to get us to my room safely. Before I know it, the hard wood is pressed against my side as he grabs for the doorknob and turns it, revealing my soft bed and luxurious sheets. I groan at the thought of sinking into them, my exhaustion barely staved off by the lust lighting my body on fire.
Maximus kicks the door closed behind us with a booming thud, barely missing a step as he leads us towards the bed.
“What do you need, princess?” he grumbles, eyeing the bathroom. I can tell he’s debating between taking me for a shower first or giving into the lust that has been pulsing between us ever since he captured me by the door. Hell, maybe even since our interrupted moment on the balcony in Ethereal.
“I need you,” I beg, gripping the opening of his leather jacket.
A low growl emanates from his chest as heat flickers in his emerald eyes.
“Olivia,” he growls as he tosses me onto the bed. I barely let go of his jacket in time and let loose a squeak of laughter as my back hits the plush mattress. Excitement thrums through me like electricity as I hurriedly peel off the leather armor and dusty linen shirt while Maximus unbuttons my leather pants and tugs them off me. Goosebumps pebble on my skin as the cool air washes over my heated skin, and I fling my clothes to the other side of the room, hoping to never have to wear the stifling battle uniform again, but I know that thought is a lost cause.
My burgundy lace bra and panties are all I’m left in as I lie on the bed, loving the way Maximus’ heated gaze roves over my skin like he can never get enough of me.
I slowly shift to kneel on the bed and reach for his jacket. I pull the soft leather off his shoulders and throw it behind him before slipping my hands under the hem of his shirt. He groans as my fingers lightly caress the chiseled muscles, loving the way his hard torso feels beneath my touch. I drag my hands up his chest along with his shirt, teasingly pulling it up over his head.
“You drive me crazy, princess,” he groans, threading his fingers through my hair and tilting my head up to meet his soft gaze. His eyes are usually as hard as the stone they resemble, but they seem to melt as I look into him, like only I can soften his heart.
“I hope that’s a good thing.” I glance down at his dark jeans, noticing the large bulge already pressing against the thick fabric. Yep, that’s definitely a good thing.
I smirk up at him as he wraps a finger under my chin.
“You’re the best thing that’s ever happened to me.”
I swallow thickly, my cheeks heating at the sincere look in his emerald eyes. My chest warms as our bond pulses, our souls forever linked as one. “I didn’t know that I was missing something until I found you, and now I don’t know how I could’ve lived my whole life without you.”
The words slip from my lips, the easiest truth I’ve ever told. Although there were good parts of my life before, like the moments I had with Nelle and my father when he was there, I always knew I was meant for something else. I knew I was meant to find them and go to this other world, before I even knew that gods, demigods, or demons even existed.
“Good thing we’ll never have to spend another moment wondering what life would have been if we hadn’t found each other.” His lips find mine. The kiss is hard and needy, like he’s trying to wash away any thought of a lifetime without me. Good, because I’m never going anywhere, and neither is he if I have anything to say about it.
I slide my hands down his chest to the waistband of his jeans and pop open the button, loving the sharp hiss he looses as I pull down the zipper, slowly rubbing my finger along his shaft as I do.
“Liv,” he groans, and I finally relent, shoving his pants and boxers down his legs for him to kick off.
He looks like he’s about to reach for me, but before he can make another move, I grip his thick shaft, needing both hands to wrap all the way around it.
“What are you doing?” he grumbles, cocking a questioning brow as he looks down at me. I lick my lips as I watch him, my imposing, massive god of destruction. He could strike fear into the hearts of anyone he faces, but for me, I could never look at him with anything other than love and desire ... and maybe sometimes annoyance when he gets on my nerves.
“What does it look like?” I ask coyly, lifting a brow in challenge before I tilt my head down to roll my tongue over his tip.
“Liv,” he grunts, half in reproach and half in ecstasy. “We don’t have time.”
“We have as much time as I say,” I purr, wrapping my lips around the head of his cock.
“Fuck.”
