Page 107 of Thanatos' Craving

“Nope, he only saw my boobs.” I grab them and give them a little shake.

Thanatos’ hold became tighter on me.

“Did you not pay attention to what I was wearing when he was talking to me?”

“Obviously he didn’t!” Uriel sang happily.

“Hypnos!” Thanatos thundered. “Find that fucking demon!”

Hypnos jumped out of the lounge chair, away from Ares. “Thank Rhea! I’ll kill the bastard for you, brother!”

Thanatos snarled. “Send him to my dungeon. I’ll deal with him later!”

I wrestled in Thanatos' arms to let go. “Thanatos, what are you doing?”

“I think the jealousy emotion just registered.” Ember laughed. “He was just mad some demon was talking to you. Now Thanatos realized a demon just saw you pretty much naked in front of him and will most likely wank off to you later.”

Thanatos’ dark shadows engulfed us and my eyes widened.

"We will be unavailable until tomorrow," Thanatos informed Ember. “And I will be sure to tell all of your mates your transgressions.”

I couldn’t help but laugh as Thanatos’ reaction to the situation was something I’ve never seen before. His possessiveness andjealousy were hilarious. I let out a snort, still feeling the warmth of his body pressed against mine.

“Thanatos,” I began. “Where are we going?”

His grip on me tightened, and I felt his breath on my neck, sending warmth to my core. “Just wait and see,” he growled, his voice low and seductive. “To make you pay for putting me through this hell.”

Chapter Thirty-Five

Thanatos

When I entered the patio to the pool, I knew something was off. Uriel looked guilty, Ember and Mariah snorted in laughter when I entered. That was when I saw Juniper, leaning against the stone wall speaking with a demon and twirling her hair.

I was glad I intervened when I did.

“This all could have been avoided if you had just given her some flowers,” Ember rolled her eyes.

“What?” I snapped my head to her.

“Juniper was mumbling to herself about how you gave Hecate flowers out of your garden and how you haven’t given her any.” Ember waved her hand in front of her face before she started giggled again.

I couldn’t understand how all this could be about flowers. Worthless plants? Sure, they may look pleasing to the eye, but they wither and die. I grew them because I enjoy watching them grow and tending to them and giving them purpose for Hecate and her spells, but why would Juniper find that upsetting?

“His skull is thicker than I thought.” Mariah miffed. “Girls like flowers, it’s romantic.”

Uriel sighed. “Yes, flowers are nice. I’ve seen many humans go on dates and males give the females large bouquets of flowers.”

“And Juniper was so jealous when she realized that you give Hecate flowers all the time and you haven’t given her any.” Ember added. “And then you ran off with Hecate, alone. All alone.”

Then it occurred to me it wasn’t over a damn flower; it was because I spent time with Hecate: it was Juniper’s jealousy.

The stupid fucking bond and all this jealousy shit.

Yet here I was, covering her body after I realized that she was wearing nothing after that damn demon touched her.

“I’m wearing a swimsuit!” My mate’s body twisted to turn around to face me but I’ll be damned if she wins.

“We’re leaving now. Close your eyes,” I commanded.
