“I love you.” I said it earlier, but it feels different this time. It changes nothing. It can’t change anything. But I need him to know it’s true, that this isn’t something as mundane as sex for me. “I think I’ve loved you for a very long time, even if I would have thrown myself from Dodona Tower before admitting it to anyone, let alone myself.” He gives a bittersweet smile. “I realized I loved you that day with the printer.” I instantly know exactly what he’s talking about. It wasn’t a good day. It was the anniversary of my parents’ death, and my sister and I had a fight that afternoon when I’d taken her out to lunch. My emotions had been riding too close to the surface, boiling and ugly and awful. When the ancient printer went haywire, I’d lost control completely. But that means… “You’re joking.” “I’m not.” “Apollo, that was four years ago.” I stare. “You can’t have loved me that long.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“We find Eurydice and Charon in the library. At first, I don’t see what the problem is, but then Charon wraps an arm around her shoulder and steps back, revealing the body of Pan. He lies on his stomach, blood pooling the carpet beneath him. “Oh no.” Tears pour from Eurydice’s eyes and she allows Charon to pull her into his arms and tuck her face against his chest. “How did this happen?” “I don’t know.” He looks at me over her head. “We were waiting in the parlor after we were found by Theseus and came in here when we heard a crash.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“I like that even her submission has thorns.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“Cassandra will give me her submission, and she’ll do it gladly. She just needs a few moments to realize it. She doesn’t make me wait long before huffing out a breath. “Okay, fine.” She stares up at me, a challenge in those big dark eyes. “I would very much like to suck your cock until you blow in my mouth.” It takes everything I have to hold perfectly still and give her no reaction. “And then?” “And then…” Her lips curve. “Then when you’ve had sufficient time to recover, I would very much like you to fuck me.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“I want this too badly to say no. It’s supposed to be the kissing and stuff that is designed to excuse the snooping, but right now it feels like the snooping is giving us the excuse we need to do a whole lot more than kiss. I take a step backward, toward the door. “Come on, Apollo. Let’s go see the kinky rooms.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“You don’t think I know that? The Thirteen murdered my parents and then covered it up to look like an accident.” I’d been young and naive and too shell-shocked to think clearly in the aftermath. It’s the only excuse I have for going to the police. Not that it helped. They all but laughed me out of the station.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“I know Dionysus is asexual, but I can’t remember him ever dating anyone, either. Maybe he’s also aromantic. Which, again, none of my business. Still, he brought it up so I can’t help saying, “You brought Pan to the party.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“Yes, she wears pencil skirts that hug her wide hips and big ass in a way that has inspired more fantasies than I care to admit. But she also trends toward high-necked frilly tops that might hint at her generous chest but never more than hint. Her dress tonight is worlds different. It’s a dark gray that’s almost black, setting off her pale skin and highlighting her hair. It’s also got a deep V in the front that shows off more than a hint of cleavage.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“Any price? Double your offer and provide me and Alexandra a safe way out of Olympus. If you agree to those terms, then I’ll do it.” He doesn’t hesitate. “Done.” I can’t stop a choked sound. One point four million dollars. That’s her price. I don’t blame her for that, but gods, the audacity. She’s amazing. Still, I can’t ask this of her. I know she doesn’t want it, and even throwing so much money at the situation doesn’t change how uncomfortable she’ll be acting the part of my girlfriend. “I’m sure we can find—” “You will be paid upon completion.” Zeus’s blunt tone doesn’t waver in the slightest. “While you won’t be asked to do anything sexual with Apollo, you will have to sell the relationship, and that will mean acting appropriately enamored in public.” He pauses. “I won’t require you to be nice to people.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“But Alexandra isn’t like me. I’ve worked so fucking hard to ensure she doesn’t have to fight her way through life. Our parents were selfish beyond belief when they put their own ambitions and desires above their children’s safety. I will never make the same mistake.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“It’s better that way. Most of the time, people forget I exist, which means they aren’t staring and whispering behind their hands about the liar Cassandra, who once loudly proclaimed that the Thirteen had murdered her parents. It’s the truth. Not that anyone believes me.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“As far as the greater population is concerned, her parents did something to anger the last Zeus and were set to be exiled. They died in a car crash before he could enact that punishment. The truth is far more sinister. Her parents attempted to exploit an ancient, barbaric clause in Olympus’s laws and were removed as a result. The clause states that if someone manages to assassinate a member of the Thirteen—exempting the legacy titles of Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon—then that person will take the title. Our history is filled with black holes where information should be, but best I can tell, this immutable clause was added to protect the city if one of the Thirteen turned corrupt beyond all reason.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“We’re fully clothed and sitting in the middle of a crowded restaurant, but I’m having trouble remembering why I can’t climb onto his lap.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“I'm afraid."
Alexandra's voice warms. "When had that stopped you from doing something that mattered to you?”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin

“I jerk my chin down. "Suck my cock well and I'll consider fucking you."
Her jaw drops. "I don't know if I want to tell you to fuck right off with that nonsense or come on the spot.”
― Katee Robert, Radiant Sin
