“Leave it,” I urged.

She shivered against me but didn’t fight me any further.

When we got back to the table, she made sure to put the napkin down again, and I got a great view of my milky-white cum trailing down her inner thigh.

It was the single hottest thing I’d ever experienced.

Fuck, I was never going to let her go.

I don’t know what my talent is. Maybe eating.

—Athena’s secret thoughts

ATHENA

The night had been perfect.

The morning had shown me what life could be like with Gable Carter.

Him leaving at the ass crack of dawn wasn’t surprising.

He had to work.

But this time, it wasn’t because a woman had called and told him she was coming over.

It was possibly for the same reason, but the person doing the calling had been male.

After that call, he’d looked at me with worry in his eyes and said, “Don’t leave the house without one of my brothers giving you a ride, please. I have a feeling I know what this call is going to be about.”

“He’s out?” I guessed.

He closed his eyes, looking sick to his stomach. “Probably.”

“I have that blood work appointment. The one my mother made for me,” I admitted. “And then I have to be at work. I don’t plan on going anywhere exciting today.”

Though, I guess if I were being honest, I never went anywhere exciting.

He studied my face. “You haven’t talked about that at all.”

I’d been purposefully trying to suppress all of it.

The thought that my biological mother had died because of a genetic disease that might take me had been… scary.

It was easier for me to compartmentalize it all, and try not to freak out too badly.

I cupped his face. “I have been trying not to think about it, to be honest. I don’t feel sick. So it’s hard to think about being sick if I don’t feel sick.”

He studied my face, and it was only then that I saw the worry on his.

“I don’t plan on dying on you anytime soon,” I told him softly.

He smoothed my wild hair back from my face. “How long do you think they’ll take to get you the information?”

“The end of the day, they said, when I called to confirm the appointment time,” I said. “I’ll call you as soon as I hear something.”

He dropped his head to mine and his nose rested against my own for a few long seconds before he pulled away and reminded me, “Don’t leave without having one of my brothers with you.”

I gave him a thumbs up, which he liked, and he disappeared into the bathroom with a smile.
