“You’re one to talk.” It was true; Leo looked so good. The top button of his shirt was undone, revealing the full length of his throat. His hair had started the evening combed back, but after running his fingers through it, blond pieces fell perfectly over his forehead. He looked the perfect amount of disheveled,…

She dipped easily into her wetness, playing first with her clitoris before slipping her fingers deep inside. Tem concentrated on how it felt, focusing on the slick sensation, imagining Caspen was doing it instead. It was hard to believe she’d spent so many years doing this alone in her bedroom, and now she was doing…

Caspen smiled. “Yes, that is the hope. But your heart may call to someone else, Tem.” “How would it do that?” “The tournament demands that you be honest with yourself. When it is over, your heart will call to your true mate.” “Then my heart will call to you.” “You cannot predict the outcome of…

“She has seen this before.” “Seen what before?” Caspen didn’t answer. He was barreling through the passageway, shoving basilisks out of his path. He could touch them easily; the barrier didn’t seem to extend to those in his way. “Why can’t we touch each other?” Tem insisted, already short of breath. “What’s going on?” “I…

“Rowe will not win,” Caspen cut her off. Adelaide pursed her lips with annoyance. “I said if, Caspenon. If he wins, Temperance will have to marry him. We must all prepare for that possibility.” Tem crossed her arms. She would do no such thing. The thought of marrying Rowe was abhorrent. She’d kill herself before…

I don’t see anyone else’s marriage being contested.” “You are a Hybreed, Temperance. It is an incredible gift. Your loyalty is an advantage to whichever quiver you favor.” Tem hadn’t found that being…

Tem didn’t dare enter his mind. There was a black cloud around it she couldn’t hope to penetrate and didn’t want to anyway. This was a conversation better had out loud. “I am thinking that I have never met someone so incapable of following instructions as you.” The words stung. They took her immediately back…

She turned back to the statues, and her next words were a whisper. “You shouldn’t have to carry him alone.” A pause. His whisper mirrored hers. “You should not have to carry him at all.” When she didn’t reply, he said, “It is my choice, Temperance.” A choice he’d made without her. But Tem was…

“Have sex. Obviously you want to.” “Obviously not.” Apollo only laughed. “You are a terrible liar, Temperance.” That was not Tem’s concern right now. Right now, she was fighting to stay upright-even leaning against Apollo took too much effort. She was so, so turned on. All her mind could think about was sex. Sex with…

I do know. Tem jumped at his voice in her mind. You can’t just eavesdrop on me like that. I have already told you, Temperance. Your thoughts are rather loud. Well, tune them out. That is impossible. Tem rolled her eyes. In response, Apollo took her hand in his, lifted it to his mouth, and…
