7th Circle (Hades, #1)

by Tate James

The idea of Zed and Lucas together really shouldn't have intrigued me as much as it did, so I cleared my throat and sipped my drink. Food needed to hurry up and come out, or I'd end up dragging Lucas off the stage by his thong.

Oh yes....this is gonna be one FINE ASS harem

Now that he’s back in the school system, he’s a year behind from all the time he lost trying to homeschool himself.

Hon, he's clean. Aside from taking a job in your club and lying about his age, the boy is an angel. Seriously. You should probably do the world a favor and fire his ass before you corrupt him."

Fuck. Demi was right; I was going to corrupt the hell out of him.

There was a lineup of several hyped-up pairings, and Alexi was fighting Archer.

That worries me. Who in the fire-breathing fuck knows the only thing the big bad Hades is scared of?"

Just because I want you to throw me around your bedroom a bit doesn't mean I trust you. Sex and trust don’t automatically go hand in hand.

He didn't let me push him around. He didn't let me push him away. He knew what he wanted, and he wasn't afraid to go balls to the wall in pursuing it. In this case, what he wanted... was me.

"I'm not asking for forever, Hayden. Just a chance. You carry so much weight on your shoulders... Let me be an outlet for all that stress, beautiful. I could be your lighthouse if you let me."

He gave a small nod, the lines of his face still tight and his fingers clenched in a fist. "I love you, Dare. More than anyone. Ever."

"Why? I never needed you to protect me, Zed." His lips twisted in a sorrowful grimace. "Yes, you did. I was just too late."
