“Fine,” the second muse huffs.
Magic swirls in the air, and a door appears from nowhere. The muse of dance opens the door before ducking into the blackness, and we wait long minutes before she returns with Raven on her heals.
Jayden chuckles. “How did they get the drop on you?”
“Shove it up your ass, Jayden. No one got the drop on me,” Raven grumbles, punching him in the arm.
“Fucking hell, Raven. You know you are stronger than the rest of us.” Jayden scratches his arm, glaring at her as Greyson stumbles out of the door before it disappears.
“Then you should remember not to piss me off.” She raises her eyebrows.
“Let’s get the fuck out of here. I don’t like this place,” Greyson grumbles, rubbing at his temples as if he’s got a headache.
Raven shivers. “Let’s go. I have danced enough for one night.”
We all agree.
It’s time to go back to the hotel and get some rest. Then tomorrow we have some crowns to find.
What could go wrong?
Famous last fucking words.

“Jayden, what are you doing?” I ask as his lips descend on my neck from behind, making me shiver. “We’re supposed to be getting rest.”
My eyes were heavy just a second ago, but with Jayden so close, my body is buzzing with adrenaline.
I tilt my head to the side to give him better access even as I question what he’s doing to me.
“How am I supposed to rest when you are so sexy in those little sleep shorts and tank?” His hands grip my hips, pulling me back against him.
His arms wrap around me, closing me in his embrace.
What are we doing? I can’t control myself with his lips on my skin and his hard cock against my ass. Am I drugged again?
No. This is just me and Jayden and how we feel when we’re together. It’s hot and wanting every time.
His hard cock is against my back, letting me know just how much he wants me.
“Fuck, Jayden. We really should sleep.” My protest is weak, especially when his fingers trail over the bared skin beneath my tank.
Goose bumps erupt on my skin everywhere his fingers caress. He swipes his thumb across the seam of my sleep shorts, teasing the skin of my belly above the seam. I lean my head back on his shoulder with a sigh.
Fuck, this is happening.
I squirm in his arms, and Jayden curses when my ass brushes against his cock.
“I don’t want to sleep. I want to fuck you knowing that neither of us is impaired in any way and you actually want me.” He trails his fingers up under my shirt to the underside of my breast.
My heart cracks a little at his words. It was never that I didn’t want him. It was that I couldn’t trust him.
It was Mia.
I internally shake my head to clear thoughts of the Aphrodite descendent. This is not the time to think about her and all the ways she ruined what Jayden and I have.
I shake my head. “I’ve always wanted you, Jayden. It just wasn’t that simple.”
