Fuck, my landlord was NOT going to be happy with that…
“Okay, what’s the game plan?” I pulled out my phone and shot a text to Shauna telling her I’d met the love of my life and needed her to cover for me at the Crab Shack for a few more days. Then I added that my apartment had been broken into and asked her to see if Matt could fix the door. Hopefully she bought the story, I didn’t have time for friend drama, but if I didn’t keep in touch she’d call the police and report me missing.
Tucking away my phone, I met the god face to face. Cronus sighed. “We need to get some cash, food, and I need a shower. Then we will go looking for the Titans’ remnants.”
My stomach heated a little at his mention of showering. “Weird coincidence. I need a shower too.”
Maybe I could convince him to be environmentally friendly and save water…
Because if the world was ending, I was not going out on a dry spell, and who better to break the drought than a fucking god.
Ignoring me, he started to undress while walking to the bathroom. His shirt was tossed to the ground, giving me an ample view of his muscular back.
Yum.
I swallowed hard.
“Order three pizzas. Extra meat for Hound and me.”
His pants dropped next.
Meat. He’d said meat.
Focus.
I shook myself, ready to slap my own face if that’s what it took to get out of this trance.
“Are you sure you don’t want a nice vegetarian pizza?” I tried to keep him talking in the hopes he would drop his boxers and give me a glimpse of that tight ass.
He glanced over his shoulder, glaring at me with the fire of a thousand burning suns. “Extra meat or I’ll cut off your hair.”
My mouth popped open and he walked into the bathroom and shut the door, breaking the spell he had over me. I noticed that we had a little more room in our bond now than that first night when I showered. That would make life a little easier with my naked god wandering around.
My eyes flew to Hound.
“So you want me to order you a pizza with dead animal flesh on it? You have zero conscience about that?”
Was he smirking at me?
Fucker.
“No meat for you unless you’re nice,” I whispered to Hound.
The beast growled low in his throat and I winced.
“Just kidding.”
Picking up my phone, I ordered three pizzas. Extra meat for the boys.
After Cronus and I had showered, separately, we dug into the pizza. I ate a whopping three slices of kale and pineapple pizza before feeling stuffed while Cronus and Hound inhaled their entire pizza each plus mine. He painstakingly took the time to peel off the kale, calling it an abomination. Now we stood over a crudely drawn map Cronus had made.
“Alright, first stop, we need to awaken Rhea. She’s tied to the first sin.”
My eyes bugged out of my head. “Rhea ... your wife?”
Cronus gave me a look. “Ex-cheating-lying-wife. Yes.”
Oh my God, there was enough drama with this guy for him to have his own daytime TV show.
