cheek and then nibbled on her jaw. “If you’re not warm enough I can add a little more.”
“Yes, that’s much better, thank you.” She relaxed into him with a happy sigh. “How is it that you know exactly what I need?” She hadn’t told him how warm she needed to be but he hit the nail right on the head the first try. It was surreal. “Almost feels like we are connected, weird I know since you just met me and me you.”
“Again, I’m a God. I pick up on things most people wouldn’t. Plus, I am beginning to know you. You’re also right, we are connected, Ava. We have been since the beginning and we will be until the end.” His hand slid down to rest between her shoulder blades as he nipped at her shoulder again.
“I like it,” Ava admitted to him. “I should be terrified, I should be running and screaming the other way or asking to be committed to a psych ward but honestly,” she shrugged, “this feels far too good to run from, so why run when it’s better to simply accept?”
“You are being very open-minded about all this, Ava. I have a feeling I should be worried,” his words were teasing. “Why are you being so accepting of everything? I don’t mean to pry, but I am curious to know you better.”
“Honestly?” she asked and shrugged when he just gave her ‘that’ look. “I’ve heard stories of the Gods all of my life. I have always been intrigued by you in particular. So if I am taking this all very well and with an open mind it’s because I have always known that you were real. The stories that have been passed down through the generations made me believe it.”
“You were still more than a little shocked when you met me. Not that I mind of course, it’s always nice to see a little shock and surprise. Gives me a wonderful little feeling of glee in my heart,” he said with a laugh.
“Oh you are rotten,” she said with a laugh. “Good thing I adore you already or else I might think about dunking you or something silly like that.” She wouldn’t and they both knew it. “Have I mentioned to you just how much I like you? How happy I am to have met you?”
“I think you may have mentioned it, briefly, but do feel free to tell me more any time at all. It’s nice to know someone out in the universe likes me for me and even enjoys spending time with me. In my family it’s obligation that pulls us together, or father’s big head and powers.”
“Well, I like you for you and I’m thankful for whatever brought you into the temple that day. Yes, I was a might pissed off at you, but it was because you just up and vanished without letting me explain. Please never do that again. I would hate to have to try to hunt you down because it might kill me, but I would totally do it.”
“Shh,” he pressed a kiss to her temple. “I’m not going to up and disappear again. Not without a damned good reason. If it happens just wait for me, I will be back and I will explain. Later, when we go back to my place I’m going to add some things to the pendant I gave you. I want you to have the ability to know I’m safe and well. Plus I think I should give you a key to my place. You won’t be able to leave until I get there, but you will be safe there if you need a place to go.”
“You are too sweet,” she said with a smile. “It's one of the things I like about you. You don’t show it to very many people so it makes it even more special that you are showing it to me. Thank you for allowing me in.”
Shrugging he kissed her cheek lightly. “You are special, Ava, very special.” Rubbing his cheek to hers gently he nipped at her jaw. “You seem to totally stomp down my mean streak. Not sure I like that, it’s going to be hell on my reputation with you around making me look all nice and gentle, kind and generous. Hell.”
She laughed and shook her head, “Only with me. You can be whoever and whatever you want to be with others, but with me, I want you to be the man that I care for. The
