MELISSA

Iam breathless. I can’t consider what simply occurred. I’ve by no means been kissed like that earlier than.

I contact my bruised lips and swear I can nonetheless really feel his contact. I’m burning throughout for him and I by no means noticed it coming.

I don’t go away the pool, as an alternative I lie on my again and unpack what simply occurred. It was the only finest second of my life and but I’m scuffling with it. Does Adonis see me as one other prepared gap to fill? One other Chloe, maybe. Someone who was up for something along with his brother, who would fortunately switch her consideration elsewhere when the primary choice failed.

What should Apollo consider me? Kissing his brother not lengthy after doing the identical with him.

However what a kiss.

What a panty melting, soul destroying, life altering, kiss. Adonis is just not Apollo; he’s far more than that. He’s the darkish edge to Apollo’s shadow. There aren’t any gentle patches the place it issues them. They each kill for a dwelling. I’m nonetheless figuring out what I take into consideration that.

I kissed a killer. A stunning, ruthless predator who seems to be and appears like a god.

Regardless of all my doubts and reservations, I’d do all of it once more precisely because it occurred. I need him; I lust after him and I’m wondering what he’ll do about that.

I benefit from the sunshine for the subsequent hour, returning to my solar mattress and ending off the fruit platter and draining the pitcher of water. Adonis doesn’t come again, however his solar mattress is taken by somebody I undoubtedly wasn’t anticipating.

As soon as once more, a shadow blocks out my solar and I practically leap out of my pores and skin when Dimitri Constantine sits on Adonis’s solar mattress and smiles.

I’m aware I’m close to bare and attain for my sarong and say shortly, “I’m sorry. I didn’t know you had been there.”

He shrugs. “I didn’t announce it.”

Fortunately, he doesn’t drag his astonishing blue eyes throughout my physique and seems nearly respectful as he clicks his fingers, and the housekeeper seems. “Extra water please, Maria.”

He smiles, and she or he nods, the ever-present twinkle in her eyes.

“I got here to test that you simply had been okay.” He says sweetly.

“That’s so sort of you.” I’m shocked as a result of this man is very similar to his sons. Tall, constructed like a barn and coated in ink. His physique is toned and muscled with not a wrinkle in sight and if I had been into older males, a sugar daddy, if you happen to like, he can be on the prime of my checklist.

“If Adonis has overstepped the mark, I’ll cope with it.”

He says merely and I shake my head as I blush as a result of he should have seen what occurred.

“It’s, um, wonderful. I’m sorry if we had been disrespectful.”

He throws his head again and laughs.

“Disrespectful.” He shakes his head and his eyes flash with humor. “Kissing is just not disrespectful. Not right here. Disrespect in our enterprise is handled in a much more chilling means.”

His smile fades. “Adonis is a person who misplaced his mom when it counted. He has been introduced as much as respect girls, which he does to a level, however he’s additionally a person who all the time will get what he needs.”

“It’s wonderful um…”

I actually don’t know what to say as a result of all I can image is the one Chloe painted in my head of the three males without delay and Dimitri says kindly, “It’s okay to say no to him. In truth, it could do him good.”

“Why are you telling me this?”

I’m curious and Dimitri smiles sadly. “As a result of I’m hopeful that in the future, Adonis will uncover what it’s like to actually love a lady. Not simply to take what he needs and transfer onto the subsequent one. To grasp the complexities that make up a relationship. To contemplate her his world and do the perfect he can for her.”

He stares at me with an expression of hope and says gruffly, “I need her to really feel the identical. You see, Melissa, Adonis doesn’t know the best way to love. Learn how to deal with a lady in that means. He sees girls as sexual objects and is aware of nothing of the enjoyment of spending time with a lady exterior of the bodily sort. Apollo is aware of solely too properly, and that’s the reason he’s misplaced.”

“Why are you telling me this?” I cock my head to at least one facet and Dimitri smiles softly. “As a result of I’ve by no means seen him take a look at anybody the best way he seems to be at you. You give me hope, Melissa. In case you are not , inform him that. But when what I consider will occur turns his world the other way up, I’m hopeful you’ll each stay standing collectively.”

He smiles after which stands, a strong determine blocking out the solar’s rays, and he says evenly, “You must change now. Adonis mentioned one thing about using this afternoon.”
