“Additionally, I do know you. A Spring Equinox Dance that you could see out of your window,” Apollo snarks as he dips me low to the bottom. “Effectively, you’d by no means have the ability to restrain your self from a temptation like that.

“Then why did you inform me and Artemis that we weren’t allowed out right here this night?” I mutter indignantly. Furrowing my brows, I glare at him.

Twirling me in a circle, I really feel my ruby gown dance within the wind like probably the most opulent ball robe. Though it was on the plain facet, there was one thing in regards to the magic within the air that made it really feel so particular.

So lovely.

“I had a wager in my thoughts.” Apollo’ lips dance calmly over mine and a whimpering gasp escapes my throat. “Who’d give you the option to withstand longer, my twin or my love.”

Love. I’m his love.

“And?” I whisper breathlessly.

Oh, holy Gaia, this was higher than what I daydreamed up.

“You barely beat Artemis to the road. I used to be sure you’ll’ve been out right here hours earlier,” Apollo replies as he presses a mushy chuckle into my pores and skin.

His lips dance above my very own. Inserting mushy but agency kisses alongside my neck, I ponder if gods and goddesses have lust inducing magic.

“Cautious,” warns Apollo.

Grinning wickedly on the god, I whisper towards his lips, “I’m finished being cautious.”

Pulling him shut, my eyes flutter shut as our lips crash towards one another.

Piercing screams sound from a number of blocks over interrupts our kiss.

This wasn’t simply any sort of noise.

No, these had been of pure terror and ache.

Our heads flip towards the shouts. The sweetness of the second was gone.

“Is somebody preventing?” I flip and ask Apollo.

Apollo turns and begins strolling to the noises. I adopted. As we strategy, we attempt to make sense of the shouts. Guards flooding far forward of us.

Brilliant lights stream throughout the road. Booms crash over our shoulders. The bottom rumbles beneath my ft. My ears ring. Fingers grip the cobblestones, I tip my head up, taking a look at my environment. Tumbling to the bottom

“Wha—?”

“It is advisable rise up!” His voice was frantic, wrought with concern.

“What’s flawed?” I rub my ears. My thoughts feels groggy. Just like the world was flowing round me whereas I stayed put.

“We’re underneath assault.” Apollo appears to be like up and wrenches me into his arms. Pulling me alongside, folks sprinting round us. Shouts and screams ripping by the air. Tears dripping down faces.

“Assault?” I requested in disbelief.

Rattling, I ought to’ve introduced my weapons.

Suppose, Pandy. I have to improvise. Wiping my head round, I search for any appropriate weapon.

A guard has fallen. Struck within the again with what appears to be like like a blunt object. His sword fell to the wayside. Bending over, I snatch the weapon as Apollo yanks on my arm. He will need to have used his magic. I don’t bear in mind him having his bow and arrows earlier.

“Sure, and it’s worthwhile to get someplace secure.” He scans the world. “Artemis! We have to discover her. She’ll convey you again safely to the palace. We’ve a passage which results in a secure room within the basement underneath the Throne Room.”

Guards from the palace flood into the streets within the course of the intense lights and noise. Smoky odor of fireplace rises from the gap.
