Page 39 of Charmed By Apollo

“What?” he thundered. “What the hell are you talking about, Geri?”

“What do you think I’m talking about?” The rumbling once again reverberated throughout her chest. “Now you know where I am, and you can go back to your hussy!” Grabbing the door, she slammed it shut—or at least attempted to, but Apollo was faster as he braced his palms on it. Gritting her teeth, she dug her heels in to keep it from flying open, but the god was much too strong for her.

“Damn it!” she cried as Apollo pushed himself into her room, the door slamming behind him. “Get out!”

“No!”

As he strode toward her, Geri scuttled backward until her back hit one of the bed posts.

“I don’t want you here.” Her heart hammered in her chest, and the most unnatural feeling came over her—and she realized that for the first time in her life, she felt like prey. “Leave now.”

“Or what?” His eyes seemed to glow in the dim lighting. “Are you jealous again, Geri?”

“No. Never.” Yet the raging emotions stirred within her, making her animal side rise up once more. “I’m not.”

“You’re not?” He placed one hand over her head on the bedpost, then leaned in. “Oh, then I suppose you won’t mind if I went ahead and fucked Sapphire and maybe her friend too?—”

“Damn you!” she growled. “I mean…go ahead. I don’t care. Sleep with them all! Maybe I’ll fuck Marley or Bodhi?—”

“You’ll be doing no such thing,” he roared, then slid his hand down to the side of her face. “I don’t want to fuck Sapphire or Harmony or anyone else.” His palm moved farther down, brushing over her neck and then down to boldly cup her breast. “I only want you, damn it.”

Geri’s mouth went as dry as the Sahara. Before she could say anything, Apollo lowered his head and slotted his mouth against hers. She told herself to shove him away, to tell him to stop and she didn’t want this. But unfortunately, that would have been a total lie, because she did want this. She did want him.

He pushed her back down on the bed, their lips remaining connected. His mouth devoured hers as if he couldn’t get enough. He kissed her until she was breathless, then pulled back.

Hovering over her, she could see his face and his eyes, which burned with desire for her, and she knew he was telling the truth about wanting only her. It caused the most curious warmth in her chest.

“So beautiful,” he murmured as he leaned down again, this time to kiss her neck. She gasped when his mouth touched the sensitive skin. As he teased her, he lifted the bottom of her shirt over her breasts, then pulled down the cups of her bra before rolling her nipples between his fingers.

She gasped and dug her fingers into his shoulders. He moved his mouth away from her neck, then moved lower to her breasts and sucked one of the hard nubs into his mouth. He suckled at her deep, and white-hot bolts of pleasure shot straight down to her pussy, making her clit throb in need.

“Please,” she begged. “Apollo, I need you…”

He pulled his mouth away from her breast. “Wait.”

“What is it?” she whined. Her overheated body ached for him, to be filled by him once more. “What’s wrong.”

He let out a slow breath. “Tell me this isn’t just sex.”

“W-what?” She was so caught off guard by his question, she didn’t know what else to say.

“Tell me this isn’t just about scratching an itch.” His eyes sought hers out, the blue pools boring straight into her. “That you’re not going to walk away again and pretend this never happened.”

“I…what are you…why…Apollo…” Flustered, she tried to scramble out from underneath him, but he pinned her down with his torso. “Get off me!”

“Not until you say it.”

“Say what?

“What this is about. What sex between us means.”

She pressed her lips together. “Why does that matter? I thought we were about to have some fun. Why are you acting like this?”

“Is this all meaningless to you?” he asked. “Just a fuck? A way to pass the time?”

“Why would it be anything more than that?” She regretted the words the moment she said them, and even more so when she saw the hurt so clearly in his eyes. “Apollo?—”

Quickly, he slid off her and off the mattress. “For crying out loud, Geri, I thought…I’ve been spending time with you, helping you, held you in my arms while we slept?—”
