I’m leaning against the counter mindlessly scrolling my phone when I hear Deimos come back into the loft and the front door around the corner from where I am in the kitchen close behind him. I frown without looking up.
“I didn’t even hear you leave—”
“WHAT THE FUCK!”
I scream, my eyes ripping from my phone and up to where Callie, not Deimos, is standing stunned in the middle of the apartment, staring at me with wide eyes.
“Ohmygod!!” I scream, scrambling to pull the shirt closed around me as I spring behind the kitchen island.
“What is actually happening right now?!?” she yells.
“I can explain!!” I blurt back.
“Morning, Callie.”
I whip my head around, my face throbbing and my brain still spinning. Deimos strolls across the floor casually in sweatpants and a t-shirt, arching a brow at his stunned sister.
“How the fuck did you get in?”
“You…Kratos gave me his set of keys…I…surprise?” she finishes with an embarrassed laugh, her eyes darting between him and me.
“I see.” He rakes his fingers down his jaw as he walks over and stands beside me.
“What…” Callie blinks quickly, darting her eyes between us again. “What is…”
“We’re fucking.”
Oh my sweet fucking God.
I cringe, burying my face in my hands as Deimos casually leans against the counter behind us.
“Uh,clearly!” Callie says, clearing her throat. “So, uh…huh.”
“Any questions or concerns you’d like to raise at the moment?”
“Well…uh…no? Maybe? I’m…not sure?”
I’m still half covering my face and wishing for a convenient sinkhole to appear in the floor beneath me when Deimos shrugs.
“Well, that settles that, then. I have to run out. Got stuff to do.” He turns to me as if nothing at all is up. “You’re staying here?”
“I…yeah?”
“Good.” He turns to smile at Callie before striding back into the bedroom.
Callie and I eventually look at each other, both of us speechless as our mouths try and fail to form words.
“I can explain…” I finally manage to mumble, swallowing thickly.
“Okay…” she breathes, her brow furrowing.
Deimos steps out of the bedroom, now dressed, and walks back over to me. He leans down to kiss the top of my head affectionately, his hand grabbing my bare ass under the dress shirt.
“See you later.”
He walks over to Callie, who just blinks in a stunned sort of way when he ruffles her hair. “Thanks for dropping by, Cals.” He leans a little closer to her. “Maybe we keep this just between the three of us for the moment, though?”
“Uh, yeah, sure…”
