Chapter 8
An hour later, draped over Cronus’ shoulder, we reached some type of flat path.
I tapped his back with a grin. “Servant, you may put me down now.”
Slowly, he slid me down the front of him, rubbing my chest against all his yummy bits. I’d have thought he was enjoying it if not for the deathly glare he’d pinned on me. I’d given in about seven minutes into our hike and declared that I must be carried or die.
“Oh lighten up. Life’s too shitty all on its own without having a bad attitude,” I informed my man giant.
“Are you always this cheery?” he growled.
“Pretty much. Praying you’ll be stuck to me forever?”
That nearly got a smile out of him. “You just described my worst nightmare.”
He set off down the flat path and my tongue started to feel swollen with thirst. “Dude, I’m gonna need water soon. Half human, remember?”
He stopped abruptly and I slammed into his back.
Then he looked up at the sky. “Let’s see if my power is returning.”
I stared at the sky with him for a whole three minutes before I grew bored. “Are water bottles going to fall from the heavens?”
He gave me a sharp glare and that’s when it started to rain.
“Holy shit! You did that? I thought that would be like, Zeus’s power or something. Ya know, rain and thunder kind of go together.”
He tipped his chin up. “I’m a Titan. I have more power in my hand than Zeus has in his whole body.”
A grin pulled at my lips. “Your dick just got bigger as you said that, didn’t it?”
The rain poured down harder and he ignored me, walking over to a giant leaf. Reaching out, he lightly grasped the back of my neck and coaxed me forward, an act that sent shivers down my spine. Holding the leaf to my lips, I sucked as he tilted it downward and a rush of water entered my mouth.
I moaned.Water!Beautiful, amazing, hydrating water.
When I’d had my fill, I looked up and Cronus was watching me. His gaze raked down my face to my lips and my whole body heated.
Did this fucker know how sexy he was? He probably didn’t even think about sex. He was too busy trying to get rid of me and kill Zeus. He was still watching me as he took the same leaf that I’d drunk from and put it to his own lips.
We’d shared saliva, that was almost like we’d kissed right?
#NotReally
Something told me if he ever kissed me, I’d probably explode from the pure ecstasy of it. And it would be#TotallyWorthIt
When he was done drinking, the rain suddenly stopped, not a cloud in sight.
“Maisey?” He leaned close to me and got right in my face.
He used my name! “Yes?”
Oh my God, please kiss me, fucking kiss me hard and good.
“When we get inside the cave. Don’t. Touch. Anything.” He growled and I felt my passion deflate like a balloon. “Zeus designed this cave to kill me, so don’t test it.” Then he pulled back, stomping back off down the path and taking his heat with him.
#Seriously #FuckThisGuy
Damn. It took me a moment to regain my wits, but that pull was there, always there dragging me with him.
