And then he felt her shiver beneath his lips, and he grinned, knowing he was getting exactly the reaction he wanted. When he stroked his tongue against the tight ring of muscle of her back entrance, she jerked away from him, but he kept her in place with a rough tug of her hips.
“Wow,” she jolted and gasped. Her body reacting to the unfamiliar rush of sensation, and the raw, unguarded response sent a bolt of satisfaction through him.
But he knew there was one way to tell if she really liked what he was doing, so he moved his right hand to her front. He groaned when he felt how wet she was and how easily his fingers slid through her slick folds, stroking her in time with his tongue. He had barely touched her swollen clit when her body spasmed, her back arching and pressing her ass into his face.
Not even close to finished, Apollo dragged it out—slow, deliberate, savoring every reaction—then he pulled back her hips and spread her thighs, his tongue now lapping at her arousal, and sucking her pussy lips.
“Delicious,” he proclaimed as he rose. “Every inch of you is delicious. But now. . .”
He couldn’t wait anymore, and all their clothes disappeared with a snap of his fingers.
When she tried to turn to face him, he stopped her. “Stay there,” he said, lining his chest to her back. The thick head of his cock pushed at her entrance. “You want this cock?”
She moaned as she pushed back against him. “Yes.”
“Then say it.” He teased her with the tip, rubbing it against her wet lips.
“I want your cock inside me,” she whimpered. “Please.”
Using one hand, he pushed her hair away from her neck. “You know I can’t say no to you, baby.”
He slid his cock into her with one rough stroke, then he clamped his teeth down on her neck, right above the claiming mark he had given her the first time they bit each other. She cried out, a raw, primal sound tearing from her lips as if the sensations flooding her body were too powerful to contain.
And he knew another way to drive her absolutely fucking crazy—he slid his fingers through her hair and gave it a yank. She bucked her hips back at him, screaming his name as her orgasm ripped through her. At the exact moment, his cock pulsed within her as he joined her.
He couldn’t quite explain it, but being with Geri was different—like every touch, gasp, and moment burned hotter and brighter than anything he’d known. Their bond turned his pleasure into hers, each surge echoing back between them until it felt infinite. And when she finally cried out again, her body trembling and undone by the force of her release, it was the most devastatingly beautiful thing he’d ever seen.
“Was that a good distraction, baby?” Apollo said, grinning against the back of her neck. His cock softened as he slipped out of her.
“I can–”
A loud knock interrupted her before she could finish her answer.
“Fucking hell, Apollo. This again!” Hades yelled through the door. “I just came from the council meeting and have news.”
“Uh, could you use your magic to dress us?” she whispered.
Apollo shook his head, a grin tugging at his lips, and gently spun Geri around before pulling her flush against him. The sound of her stifled giggle made his chest tighten with affection.
“We’ll be waiting in my office. You better be there in five minutes.”
“Yeah, we’ll be there,” Apollo called out before turning back to Geri. “Are you ready?” he asked, holding her face with his hands. “I have a feeling you’re going to become immortal.”
“Really?” she whispered.
“Yeah. Otherwise, Hades wouldn’t have been furious with our having sex here,” he wriggled his eyebrows. “If he had bad news, he would’ve left us alone.”
Apollo couldn’t stop grinning as he watched her laugh, her eyes glowing—the same eyes that had undone him from the start. She was his mate, his match, and through their bond, he felt the truth of it: she loved him completely, and the feeling burned bright enough to light up eternity.
“I love you,” she said, voice soft and certain.
“There it is,” he teased. “The eyes literally shining with love.” He gave a playful snap of his fingers, summoning their clothes back into place. “I love you, too.”
When she tiptoed up to kiss him, he met her halfway, savoring the softness of her lips.
“I’m ready, let’s go,” she murmured.
In the next instant, he flashed them both into Hades’ office. He glanced around, noting Grannie and Persephone, the queen of the underworld and Geri’s best friend, lounging onone of the big, overstuffed couches while Hades sat behind his towering wooden desk.
