I really feel my rigidity shatter, mixing right into a candy bliss. Aid paces by way of my bones as Apollo tenses and begins to cum.

Urgent his head into my brow, a smug grin creeps on to his face. “You are excellent, thanks for being my little sunflower.”

Grinning huge, I curl into him. “Able to retire early for the night? Would you be within the temper for some night cuddles?”

Apollo kisses my temple earlier than replying, “I would love nothing extra.

Standing up, I wobble barely. Although this was a lot much less forceful than final time, my legs have been exhausted.

Taking a few moments to proper our garments, Apollo and I stroll out of the throne room arm in arm.

As we exit, the guards avert their eyes. Praying to not be a focus for the god at my facet.

Taking the central staircase, I observe Apollo to his rooms.

That night we fell asleep in one another’s arms. Apollo’s fingers taking part in with my hair as I get able to sleep.

Me, in a set of Apollo’s garments. A free pair of pants and a big shirt. Neither made me look engaging or complimented my determine however the solar god didn’t care.

His fingers fastened to my waist. Pulling me near him. Like I should disappear whereas he rests his eyes.

Bunking with Apollo was extra comfy than I anticipated. He and I fell into our new habits rapidly. Every morning, the Solar God would dress and provides me a couple of extra minutes to get up. Then he and I’d begin our day.

I’d go to courtroom with him.

Sit in his workplace with him.

I cherished it.

A lot in order that when Apollo lastly fastened my room with a little bit of magic, I continued to indicate as much as his room every night time. Although that was for a lot of causes. I cherished his companionship but additionally, I couldn’t stand the considered sleeping in my room. Not after the whole lot. Now I exploit it as a glorified closet.

After I wasn’t with Apollo, I used to be with Artemis. In her rooms, she and I’d chatter, learn and be collectively.

“Any updates on Uncle Ov?” Turning to Artemis who’s at the moment studying a novel.

She shakes her head. “Nothing. We despatched out trackers to seek out Uncle’s whereabouts however with no success. Not a hint. Like somebody irised him out however we’ve wards towards that.”

“That and his completely destroyed room,” I added. “And mine.”

“Sure,” she whispers. “I am completely happy you weren’t harmed. It was a great factor that you simply weren’t in your quarters that night time. In any other case, you could possibly’ve been like him and vanished from skinny air.”

“… Or worse.” Recalling the blood on the sheets, I cringe. If the deep gouges have been any indicator, they weren’t seeking to make buddies. I wouldn’t have made it. “Are there any updates on the culprits?”

Artemis shrugged. “Random teams having been ‘taking accountability for the assault.’” She wraps her phrases in finger air quotes. “However none that we’ve been capable of validate as a reputable supply for the hit.”

I toss myself onto the chaise which is beside her. Permitting myself to sink into the velvety folds of the comfortable chair.

My thoughts returns to the considered Ov and all of the mysteries which encompass him. “Do you suppose Uncle Ov left deliberately? Like on his personal accord?”

Artemis quirks her eyebrow in my path. “That doesn’t sound like Ov.”

“How lengthy have you ever identified him?” It felt foolish to ask how lengthy somebody knew a member of the family, however I requested anyway. “What’s your earliest reminiscence with him?”

Cocking her head to the facet, Artemis raises a questioning eyebrow.

“All of my life,” she scoffs. “My earliest reminiscence of him would have been the day he got here to the palace after mother was injured.”

All her life? But her first reminiscence was when was injured. Her harm occurred across the time of the time of the coup and the facility wars that adopted.
