My nipples were already hard enough to cut something, but with his lips on mine, they ached as they rubbed against his chest.

His lips trailed down to my breasts and he sucked a nipple in his mouth.

Something red caught my eye. "Oh my God!" I pushed at his head.

"Too much?" He chuckled against my skin and started moving to the other nipple.

"No! It's a giant fucking octopus!'' I squealed and managed to squirm away from him. "Holy shit!"

Jax turned and then laughed. "I'll be damned!" He shifted and swam toward the giant reddish-colored octopus that was floating near the top of the water.

"Don't go to it!" I pulled myself out of the water and took a towel from a stack they had nearby. They might have had towels, but I'd seldom seen them use them. They were always walking around the house naked.

"Go get Morgan!" Jax was petting the damn thing. "He must have sensed Morgan's pain over the last week."

"Wait, what?" I wrapped the towel tightly around me.

"This is Monty."

I went to get Morgan and Blake. Finn and my mom were both gone, which was probably a good thing, even though I would have liked to spend more time with her and ask more questions.

“There’s something you guys need to see in the cave,” I said, standing awkwardly by the side of the couch.

Blake and Morgan were in the middle of getting logged into some game on their gaming system. They hadn’t even looked up when I got off the elevator.

I cleared my throat and they finally looked at me.

"Do we even want to know why you're wrapped in a towel?" Blake asked as he set his controller down and stood.

"Just a little distraction." I shook my hips as I walked down the hall with them behind me.

"You naked under there, vixen?" Morgan reached for the bottom of the towel and I swatted his hand away as we got on the elevator. "It's not like I haven't seen it before."

I was glad he was in a better mood now, and he would probably be in an even better one once the elevator doors slid open.

As soon as he caught sight of Monty, he hobbled to the water and stripped down. He sat on the side of the platform and winced before lowering himself in the water.

"Morgan, remember the doctors said your shifts will be-" Blake started, but then threw his hands up as Morgan went under and a lot of bubbles surrounded where he'd gone under. "Painful. It'll be painful."

Morgan came above water next to Monty, and I gasped as the octopus wrapped itself around him. It seemed like I would never get used to the new life I was thrust into. New things kept popping up, but the look of glee and amazement on Morgan's face made me forget just for a moment that a crazy demigod wanted to use me.
