He slowly lowers my leg back down to wrap around his waist. Each of us relaxes into the other, not wanting to move away just yet. Well, I have other plans.
Not caring about the mess we make as I roll him over, I straddle his waist, loving the way his eyes light with surprise at how easily I’m able to flip him. He doesn’t need to know I used a bit of my powers to do it.
“I swear I can never get enough of you,” he grunts, his cock already getting hard for me again. I roll my hips and suck in a sharp breath at the delicious friction as he strokes into me, repeating the motion until each of us are desperately panting for air. Electricity runs over my skin as I chase my release, my body completely and utterly addicted to my men.
Both of us are still so worked up from our last orgasm that it barely takes any time to get to the tipping point again. I dip my hand between us and rub my clit in time with the movement of my hips as I ride him straight into another release. My pussy pulses around him, driving him into another release as our bodies come apart again, a warm, languid heat spreading through my body and seeping the last of my energy from my tired limbs.
He scoops me up in his arms just as I’m about to collapse on him, and I curl against him, knowing he won’t drop me. He strides to the bathroom and nudges the door open with his back as he leads me to my bathroom ... to an already full and steaming hot tub.
“Did you plan to seduce me, Maximus?” I ask in mock outrage, clasping a hand to my chest in shock.
“I didn’t plan to seduce you,” he grumbles and lowers me towards the water. I stretch out a toe to test the temperature, and the warm water laps against my foot, welcoming me with the perfect bath. I grin up at him and nod as he gently lowers me into the tub, letting the warm water glide over my skin as I sink into it.
“Sure you didn’t,” I sigh, relaxing into the tub and letting the warm water seep into my aching limbs.
“Maybe I did,” he grumbles under his breath, and I can’t help the laughter that bubbles up. Maximus grabs a washcloth and goes to kneel at my side, but I grab his wrist to stop him.
“Why don’t you join me?” I ask, eyeing the tub. I’m honestly not sure there’s enough room for the two of us, but hey, I can always sit on his lap.
“That’s probably a bad idea if we want to get anything done today.” He frowns as though he’s trying to debate the likelihood of the rest of them leaving us alone for today.
Yeah, the chance of that isn’t very high.
He must realize the same thing as he sinks into the plush bath mat and begins soaping up the cloth to run over my skin. I almost tell him I can do it myself, but the words stick on the tip of my tongue as heat rushes through my veins at the thought of his hands running all over my skin. Yes, please.
“So what else happened today?” Maximus asks, running the soapy cloth over my shoulder.
“Huh?” I ask, pretending I haven’t heard him as I close my eyes and rest my head against the edge of the tub. I really don’t want to talk about that right now.
“Olivia.” He pauses halfway down my arm. I peel my eyelids open reluctantly and let loose a huff of exasperation as he cocks a brow in challenge.
“Fine,” I groan, sitting up in the tub so as to not fall asleep. “But why do you think something else happened?”
“Because you’re a bad liar,” he says simply as he wipes the cloth over my collarbone, sending a thrill of anticipation up my spine.
“I am not,” I snort derisively, but finally relent as he pauses again. “Fine, the demons did say no, but Octavia left them with the transmitting stone in case they change their mind.”
He lifts a brow as though silently demanding I tell him the rest.
“They also haven’t taken their full forms yet,” I concede, pouting at the fact that I’m apparently that transparent to him. But that is wiped away in the next moment as he continues lower, his fingers gently rubbing my nipple between them. I let loose a hum of approval and sink into the tub, enjoying as he switches to my other breast and does the same.
“So that’s the real reason they aren’t joining us?”
“That and they hate the gods,” I sigh, shifting so his hand continues lower. A deep rumble emanates from his chest, but he doesn’t go straight where I want him to, instead running the cloth over my stomach. Dammit, I was so close.
“I can see why,” he grumbles, bringing his arm out of the water to reapply some soap to the cloth. I purse my lips but don’t argue, my mind already putting actually getting clean on the back burner. Being dirty is so much more fun.
“There’s something else.” The words aren’t a question but a statement. Dammit, nothing gets past him.
He runs the warm cloth over the back of my shoulder, the soft caress making my toes curl. I tilt forward and let him continue farther down my back.
“I—” I pause, not sure I really want to start this right now. “Being back there just reminded me of the battle.”
He continues washing my back slowly as I explain what happened with the shadows.
“They seem to almost have a mind of their own.” I sigh, the tension seeping away as he massages my achy muscles, and I lay the thoughts that had been niggling at the back of my mind at his feet. “They seem to work on instinct, and when I call them, they don’t come. Octavia said she’d train me, but what if we don’t have enough time and I hurt someone?”
“You would never hurt anyone without reason,” Maximus says simply, like it should be a given.
