“He might. He needs to get used to his newest ability first, and managing Hell is something he needs to do for himself. We just need to be there to support him the whole way through.”

I sigh as she pins me in place with those understanding eyes of hers.

“I just wanted to help.”

“And you are. File your notes away and once he grows frustrated or pissed off, you’ll have them ready.”

I contemplate that for a moment. “That’s very true. Given his track record for losing his patience, it won’t take long.”

She bites back a snort as I do as she advised and file my parchment in my drawer. Then I pull out a clean, fresh one.

“Another one? Really? You realize you’ve been in here for ages, right?”

“It’s not been ages. A couple of hours max.”

“Well, how long do you think it’ll take you to work on whatever you’re about to work on?”

“I’m not sure. As long as it takes, I suppose, or until you tell me to come to bed.”

Her eyes trace me in a way that makes my back straighten a little bit.

“Very well,” she finally says as she pushes out her chair and rounds my desk.

She pulls my chair out just enough to where she can squeeze between my knees, then she lowers herself to the ground.

“What are you doing?” I ask as she scoots underneath my desk.

“You focus on your work. I’ll focus on you.”

My brows draw together until her hands find their way to my pants, and my eyes fly open.

“Thayla.”

“Can you not multitask, God of Knowledge?”

Multitasking is not my issue.

Having her touch me while attempting to think straight is.

A hiss tears from my lips the second she frees me from the confines of my pants. In a second flat, I’m painfully hard for her.

“Get to work,” she commands.

Her breath fans across my flesh and a shiver races down my spine. The moment her warm mouth wraps around me, my pen falls on my parchment.

“No, sir. This is the agreement. You work, I enjoy myself.”

“Y-you.” My teeth clench together as I force my stutter away. It takes considerable will to keep my eyes open. “You enjoy doing this to me?”

“Very much. I love bringing you pleasure as much as you love providing it for me.”

Valories.

Get it together.

As she said, you are the God of Knowledge.

You most certainly can handle doodling a few notes while your Binder sucks your soul out of you.
