“It will only get worse if you resist.” “I don’t care.” “You will soon.” “I hate you.” “Now, now. We both know that is not true.” Tem shook her head. She didn’t have time for Apollo’s nonsense right now. She was too turned on, too filled with need, to care any longer how it was…

Apollo was inside her mind, and she could feel his reaction. Unlike the amusement or even cruelty she expected, he felt only gentle sympathy and great understanding. Do you wish for me to help you? I don’t need your help. You cannot access your power. I can access it for you, if you wish. Do…

“Why here?” she whispered. For some reason, it felt like she needed to be quiet. “Its occupant is dying.” “How do you know that?” “I can tell.” “But how?” Apollo sighed. He looked at her. “I understand why my brother did not want to teach you to petrify. You are extraordinarily impatient.” Tem smiled. They…

As if in a trance, Tem’s face rose to his. Their lips were an inch apart. She did nothing but breathe him in, feeling the warmth radiate from his body to hers. He was so warm, as if the flames that crackled in the fireplace originated within him. “Tell me you want me,” Leo murmured,…

Apollo’s voice came to her faintly. You are so beautiful like this. She wondered suddenly if this was why Caspen was able to become hard again mere moments after climaxing. If basilisks could direct their blood flow, surely they could control their erections. It was a wondrous thing. Tem opened her eyes to see Apollo…

The silence grew heavy. “Tem,” he said slowly. “Has he ever hurt you?” She thought of the time when Caspen nearly bit through her lip. It was one of many incidents. But Leo wasn’t privy to that information. She didn’t owe him any details of her experience with Caspen. “If he has, it’s none of…

Tem almost laughed. Here was Leo, so worried about her that he’d gotten drunk. Evelyn, on the other hand, slept without a care in the world. Did she know where her husband was? Did she know he was here, in the foyer, staring at Tem like he wanted to take her upstairs and fuck her…

“So…you didn’t like her because she was stealing forks?” “She was stealing gold, stupid child.” All the cutlery in the castle was a result of the bloodletting. Tem stared down at her own hands, which were turning the wires gold. She felt faint. “She did not leave because of some ridiculous letter. She left because…
