him.
Chloe smiled and
pushed a lock of hair from his brow. How she loved him. Wouldn’t allow anyone
to take what she cared for most in the world. “I’ve ensured the gods can no
longer see us. The mortal world can, but no one from up there,” Chloe said,
pointing skyward.
Cian shook his
head. “And this will keep us safe, how?”
“Zeus’s power is
useless against us now. Obsolete even. Zeus cannot attack what he cannot see.”
“How?” Cian
kissed a line down her neck, and for a moment Chloe lost all train of thought.
His lips were soft yet insistent and always left her yearning for more.
“I mentioned
before I found a Titan, Lelantos who hates my father as much as I hate his
decree. We have an agreement.”
“Chloe ...”
The warning in Cian’s
tone made her cringe. Lelantos wasn’t trustworthy. She knew that more than
anyone. Gods, no matter they be Greek or Roman were not to be trusted. Yet, she
had no choice. Zeus was too powerful to go up against again. The next time she
may not be as lucky.
“I have you back
thanks to the gorgons so let’s not worry about what has been and what could
never come. Can we just enjoy life and live each day as if it was our last.”
Chloe wiggled
and came to straddle his legs. She felt along his chest before feathering
kisses down his neck. Heat pooled at her core when she slipped her hand inside the
throw rug and stroked along his hardened length.
“Do I even want
to know what a gorgon is?” Cian groaned and, throwing his head back, closed his
eyes.
Chloe laughed. “Do
Medusa and her sisters mean anything to you?” She stopped her ministrations and
waited for Cian to look at her.
“You saw them.” Cian
looked at her with utter wonderment and she nodded.
“They are the
reason I have you back. They had something I could give them and in exchange
they helped me.” She smiled.
“Marry me, lass.”
Chloe gasped and
wondered if she’d heard right. Never had she thought such words would mean so
much to her. As a god, marriage had always meant advancement, strategy, a way
in which you brought more power and influence within the hallowed halls of Mt
Olympus.
But at Cian’s heartfelt
question, tears pricked her eyes. Having lived in the mortal world had changed
her. It had given her the opportunity to feel emotion. To care. To love.
“Yes,” she said,
swallowing the lump wedged in her throat. “I’ll marry you.”
Cian leaned
forward and captured her mouth with the lightest kiss. A kiss that was the
start of forever.
For eternity.
