Page 192 of Mayhem and Minnie

Molokai tenses and the blue aura surrounding his body intensifies.

He takes a step forward, and ice forms where his foot touches the ground. From his hand, an icicle in the form of a spear appears.

Oh, shit!

Is there something like a god shield? I look around my basement for a weapon, not that I stand much of a chance seeing he’s holding my kryptonite—coldness.

“Kai!” Minnie calls out in outrage. “What are you doing here?”

“Trying to intimidate your human,” I quip and walk to her, grabbing her by the waist and pulling her close to me. “You will not allow him to do that, right, Minnie?” I ask and pout at her. “You’ll take care of your human like the good girl that you are.”

She blinks, my tone taking her aback.

I never thought I’d end up the boy toy of a goddess, but seeing how she has those awesome powers and I have…well, only my murderous skills that don’t work on gods, I should start taking my role seriously.

After all, she might be a proper goddess, but it’s me she’ll call her god in bed.

But I suppose her brother is not ready to hear that.

“Of course not. He knows better than to come here to stir up problems,” Minnie says as she folds her arms over her chest.

“You’re the one always stirring up problems, Minerva. I cannot believe I leave you alone for a short time and you’re back to the same bad habits. You said he’s your human guard, not your lover,” he adds in a slow but intense tone.

“So? It’s my business who I take as my lover. In fact, you might benefit from it yourself,” she fires back. “Maybe if you had a bit more fun, you wouldn’t be so quick to ruin mine.”

Her brother glares at her.

“Keep your tone in check, little sister,” he warns lightly.

“Why? It’s the truth. You’re so picky with all the females back home. Maybe you can find yourself your own human and stop bothering me about mine.”

“Yes, tell him, Minnie,” I whisper proudly in her ear.

She gives me a warning glance and I promptly shut up.

“And become a fugitive like you? Not only did you take up with a human,” he spits the word as if it’s the most disgusting thing, “but you also gave away your chastity. Both offenses punishable by death.”

“Now wait a minute, why would her chastity have anything to do with this?” I interject.

“Did you tell him?” Her brother raises a brow.

Minnie bites her lip as she looks from him to me.

“Tell me what?” I frown.

It seems I’m finding a great deal of things about Minnie in this conversation—most of which she forgot to mention herself.

“She is not just a deity. She’s the daughter of the King of Cryos. And in our world, highborn ladies are forbidden from being with a male without being officially bonded. Her betrothed found out about her affair with that human and publicly repudiated her.”

Her lips flatten and her right eye twitches.

“Betrothed? You had another fiancé?” I ask in outrage.

She doesn’t answer, merely staring belligerently at her brother.

“What fiancé?” I demand harshly.

Her brother smirks.
