“That doesn’t surprise me. I’ve seen him in action. He’s something else. Are you sure you know what you’re doing?”
Lydia slumped against the door. “To tell you the truth, I have no idea what I’m doing. I should probably just leave now.”
“It’s your choice,” Roni said, her tone softening. “Say the word and I’ll come and get you. I don’t care if they do kick both our asses out.”
Lydia straightened, alarmed at the thought of never seeing Apollo again. Never experiencing another of his scorching kisses. “This might be a huge mistake, but I think I want to stay.”
“I had a feeling you’d say that.” She paused then added, “Okay, but they damn well better use condoms. And make sure they understand that no means no.”
Lydia barely contained a chuckle. “Yes, Mom.”
“Don’t be a smartass. You’re a babe and they’re like three big hungry wolves. I’ll be worrying all night so call me the minute you’re out of there.”
“I’ll be fine, Roni, really,” Lydia soothed. “Besides for some reason I trust them. I can’t explain it, but it’s almost like I know them.”
The line went quiet a moment, before Roni said, “That is strange, considering no one has ever seen them with their hoods off, and to my knowledge no one knows their real names either.”
Lydia heard them shuffling around in the other room so she finished her call. “I’ll call you and give you all the dirty details.”
“It’s that or I call 911 and come searching for you.”
As they hung up, Apollo came to the doorway, fists clenched at his side. He didn’t speak, simply lifted one hand and crooked his finger at her. Lydia dropped her phone back into her purse and stepped away from the safety of the door. The closer she came to the imposing man, the faster her heart beat. By the time she’d reached him, she thought it’d beat right out of her chest.
His hand came up and cupped the back of her head. “You have nothing to fear, baby. No one will hurt you, I promise.”
Lydia reached up and touched the bottom curve of the hood, wishing he’d remove it. At once Apollo’s hand covered hers and she frowned. “Why the secrecy, Apollo?”
“It’s my choice. Just as it was your choice to come here tonight. You wanted something when you ventured into Kinks. What was it, Lydia?”
“The truth?”
“Please,” he growled.
“I-I wanted to have sex with a stranger.” I cannot believe I just said that.
His gaze darkened. “I see. Is this a fantasy of yours?”
“Yes.”
“I would be pleased to make your fantasy come true, Lydia. The three of us can give you a night you’ll never forget. All you have to do is say yes.”
She let him pull her hand down for a kiss. His tongue swirled around the center of her palm and her clit throbbed. Lydia imagined that talented tongue licking her to orgasm. Suddenly she felt another pair of hands on her, caressing her back and bottom. Lydia leaned her head back and saw that Poseidon had slipped up behind her. Zeus stood next to her, watchful and quiet.
Lydia looked back up at Apollo and murmured, “Yes.”
Apollo’s expression changed to that of a hungry lion. In the next breath he had her off the floor and cradled against his chest. He took her into the adjoining room, and placed her gently in the center of a large bed covered in a red satin comforter. Lydia sat up and held her hand in the air just as Apollo started to come down on top of her.
“Wait, I’d like to freshen up a bit.” Okay, so she was stalling, but when a woman is faced with three large, gorgeous men about to make her every desire a reality, she’s allowed a little time to collect her thoughts.
Apollo planted a hand beside her hip and growled, “You aren’t contemplating escape are you?”
Lydia laughed, feeling herself relax a margin. “I’m not going anywhere.”
He held out his hand, she took it and allowed him to help her from the bed. He pointed to a corner of the room. “Through there. You’ll find everything you need.”
“Thank you.”
Lydia made it to the bathroom without tripping over her own feet. Amazing, considering her jangling nerves. After she flipped on the light and closed the door, Lydia collapsed against it. “I am in so damn deep.”
