I shut off the water and reach for the fluffy red towel hanging nearby to dry myself off. Wrapping it around me, I head to the vanity in search of a brush. Brushing my tangled mess was no easy task, but the conditioner helped. That stuff was like liquid gold for the hair.
After I've finished brushing out my hair, I'm relieved to find a new toothbrush and toothpaste, so I get to work on brushing my teeth. I head back into the bedroom and pull on a pair of panties and a sports bra.
Plopping down onto the bed and pulling the blankets up around me, I close my heavy lids. This mattress is like a dream. The bed is big enough for at least eight people, but I sprawl out from corner to corner, loving all the room I have.
Sleep finally takes me as I wonder what tomorrow will bring.
Chapter 7
Eros
You know, I think she may have a familiar. I get the sense someone is poking around in her head.
Walking over, I pet my falcon down her back. “I think I’d have to disagree with you. If she had a familiar, we would have known by now. It would have made a presence in her life at eighteen to make the bond at twenty-one.”
Astra always had a knack for seeing things I couldn’t. She definitely saved my ass a couple of times. Her sense of character was spot on also; she could always tell who could be trusted and who couldn’t. Although she tolerated the guys for my benefit, she trusted them to have my back.
She was not here at eighteen. So how would you know? The animal could have drifted to where she was and watched her till you brought her here. Familiars do funny things for their person.
Astra pecked at my fingers, letting me know she had enough affection, so I retreated my hand.
“That is true. I guess we shall find out in the next few weeks. Diana is an interesting person, so it wouldn’t surprise me if she did have her own familiar.” I went to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for bed.
That she is, I like her. Don’t screw it up, Eros!
“You're implying she has an interest in me. Did you see the way she was staring at Atlas?” I shook my head as I changed and crawled into bed. Astra was doing her best bird glare at me, making me wonder what I did to upset her this time.
My falcon never hesitated to voice her opinion to me about the people around us. She was definitely hard to please and didn't like anyone, so hearing her talk about Diana in a positive manner was refreshing.
Diana was gorgeous with her long red hair and bright gray eyes. She had a body I just wanted to run my hands all over while I devoured her, but I knew she would go for Atlas; they always did.
I also saw how she looked at you, Eros. Don’t sell yourself short.
With that thought in my mind, I drifted off to sleep thinking of a fiery redhead lying sprawled out on my chest, her head nestled in my shoulder, as I traced lines up and down her spine. Tomorrow will be interesting, that's for sure.
Chapter 8
Atlas
Pounding on Diana’s door, I shouted, “Wake up, bunny. Time to get the day started.”
I heard rustling on the other side, along with some angry mumbling, and then the door was wrenched open. I came face to face with a very angry, very underdressed Diana. She smelled like coconut and mint. At that moment, I decided that was my favorite scent, and I wanted to surround myself with it.
“It’s five in the morning, you fool. Who gets up before the sun even fucking does.” Her nose scrunched at my five a.m. wake-up call. Her hair was a mess of curls that reached her waist.
My gaze raked down her body, taking inventory of her big, full breasts, the curves around her waist, and settled at the piercing in her navel. Her chest hitched, and my eyes bounced back up to hers. Lust and fire flashed across her face at my reaction to her almost naked body. Her eyes went so wide they made me grin.
“Bunny, who knew you were hiding that beautiful body under all the clothes you wear? I vote you only wear this from now on.” I said as I backed her into the room and closed the door behind me. “Come on, Apollo is waiting for us; he has assessments planned for you today.” As tempting as it was to throw her on the bed and have her screaming my name, we had shit to do.
I turned and walked to her closet, pulling out a pair of black leggings and a matching tank. Tossing it to her, I grumbled, “Get dressed before I make my fantasy a reality and Apollo comes charging in here to see what’s taking so long.”
Her cheeks heated to a beautiful red as she bent over to pull the leggings up and over her luscious ass. I swiped my hand down my face, fuck keeping my hands off of her is going to be damn near impossible. I dug out a pair of sneakers for her and kneeled in front of her as she pulled her shirt down. Tapping the back of her leg, I gestured for her to lift her foot so I could help her into her shoes.
“I mean, while you’re down there…” she said through a sexy smile, complete lust filling her eyes. Her hair fell in beautiful locks around her face as she bent her head down to look at me. My cock jumped at her gaze. This girl had no clue what she was asking for.
As I stood, I trailed my hand up the back of her thigh around her ass and up the center of her spine. “You are playing with fire bunny. Don’t say shit unless you’re ready to get burned.”
She met my heated gaze unwavering. “What if I’m the one doing the burning.”
