A Game of Retribution (Hades Saga, #2)

by Scarlett St. Clair

“You shouldn’t laugh.” He was confused by her comment—did she feel insecure about her reaction to him? If it was any consolation, he rarely had the ability to think beyond her when they were together. “Why not? I can hear your heart beating. Are you afraid to be caught with your boyfriend?” Persephone rolled her eyes. “I think I preferred lover.” He laughed, and he liked the way she looked at him when he did…like she wanted to make him laugh forever. “You are not easy to please.” “I would give you the chance, but I’m afraid I don’t have time.” “I don’t need long,” he said, gripping the fabric of her dress. “I could make you come in seconds. You won’t even have to get undressed.” The way she looked at him made his cock harder. It was sensual, almost a dare, yet she denied him. “I’m afraid seconds will not do. I’m owed pleasure—hours of it.” He could not argue with that, but he could bargain. “Allow me to give you a preview, then.” He pulled her tight against him, and the bulge of his cock settled against her stomach, but she pushed against him. “Perhaps later,” she said, and he wasn’t that surprised. She had been adamant about spending time with Lexa, and he knew that was important to her. He could be patient. “I’ll take that as a promise,” he said and vanished before he decided against waiting.
