She looks over her shoulder. “Don’t worry, I would have never chosen you anyway.”

I clench my jaw so hard I’m afraid I’m going to shatter every last tooth in my mouth. “Good. I would have never said yes.”

“Yeah, I think you would have.”

“You’re insolent.”

“And you’re struggling. You want me.” Her gaze lingers up and down my body. “I bet you wish you knew what it was like to sink between a human woman’s thighs just once.”

She’s trying to trick me. I have Enki to thank for that. His influence always starts to drive people to insanity, and he was just in the cave.

I ignore her words. “Shall we continue with your training?”

“Sure.” She just shrugs and turns back around.

What the hell?

This time when I kiss upward along her back to her neck, she doesn’t respond, she doesn’t even move. She just takes it like it’s a punishment when the training is supposed to be part of the reward. She should thank me for touching her, for honoring her. Thousands of years ago, humans would worship at my feet and beg to wash me.

I keep kissing her; she responds and yet doesn’t, finally I stop and look down. She just looks over her shoulder and says, “I guess we’re done?”

I jump back onto my feet and glare at her. I know my eyes are storming, that if she looks into them too long she’ll be lost but I can’t help myself. This has never happened.

She gets into the bed and draws the blankets around her, and then the stupid girl closes her eyes and falls asleep right in front of me.

I’m too stunned to move.

After a few moments, I force my feet to turn on the dirt and walk out of the cave. In the corner, Bast the panther yawns. I snap my fingers, and I’m in my bathrobe again as I walk to the sea to cool off my arousal.

“You sure you did that right?” Enki asks from behind me. I turn and catch an amused expression lighting his face before he bursts out laughing. “She didn’t even scream!”

“What the hell!” I roar, and waves crash against my legs and chest. “She’s broken.”

“Maybe you’ve just finally met your match when it comes to stubbornness.” He shrugs and pushes away from the rocky cliff swinging his hammer casually in his hand, still in his armor. “I’ll guard tonight since you probably need to read up again on how to please a human.”

I lunge for him as my vision heightens, becomes more acute. I know my eyes are glowing white. From the way everything around me appears.

He stumbles back, still smirking. “I plan on telling everyone.”

“Don’t you dare.”

“It’s the best thing I’ve heard in over a century, the hell I’m not.”

“Start a text thread about this and?—”

He holds up his phone, the title of the text thread is. “Big bad sun, burns too bright, super bad at sex, send links.”

“Hilarious.”

“I thought so. Oh, by the way, Dag offered to stand in on the training, but I told him he’d probably accidentally kill her considering he’s used to those damn fairies.”

“He screws like a vampire.”

“They seem to like it.” Enki shrugs. “Anyway, I’ll just be going to my spot over by the cave, don’t forget to bring her more clothes and some food later.”

“I don’t forget things,” I grumble.

“Yeah, except for how to give a human pleasure. Maybe removing your heart was a bad idea since it wasn’t really in it.”
