“I’m not wrong,” she sings.
This bitch wants me to zap her, doesn’t she? She’s lucky I don’t have much magic, or I would zap her right now.
“You are wrong, plus, we will have Claud to help us, right, Claud?” I ask, glancing up at the giant cyclops.
“Yes, I help and then you help,” Claud says with a nod.
He’s so childlike, I just want to hug him close and protect him even though he’s ancient. Even more ancient than my dad.
“Yes, buddy, we will help you.” I grin up at his big blue eye.
The oracle saw him for a reason and maybe that reason was he is meant to help us and we are bound to help him.

Raven and Adrian grumble about needing sleep as Claud becomes the rocky outcropping again to block us from the view of the pits of Tartarus.
It can’t be this easy, right? I mean, we made a new friend and he’s blocking us from possible enemies, but how did he get out of the pit and what if something worse gets out?
A tingle runs down my spine and I stiffen, turning to Jayden.
“Do you feel that?” I ask softly.
Jayden scoots closer so our legs are touching.
“Feel what?” he breathes, and his warm breath tickles my neck, making me shiver for a totally different reason.
“I think it’s magic. It’s familiar,” I say as Jayden places his hand on my thigh, rubbing circles over it gently.
“I don’t feel any magic,” he says. “I only feel this pull to you that I always feel when we are close.”
His hand on my thigh moves higher as his lips skate over my throat. I tilt my head to the side, giving him better access.
“Jayden,” I mumble a weak protest.
I don’t want him to stop but something isn’t right here. What the hell is going on?
Jayden crowds me and I lean back. He hovers over me with a grin that should be illegal. He’s leaning on his elbows, caging me in beneath him, and his hard cock presses against my hip.
“I want you, Beth. Right here, right now. I don’t care if we are supposed to be doing something else.”
Isn’t there something we are supposed to be doing out here?
My brain is fogged. I have felt this way before, I’m sure of it, but as soon as the thought crosses, my mind it flits away just as quickly.
Jayden crashes his lips to mine and all thoughts of magic and what we are doing out here float away.
He licks at the seam of my lips, requesting entrance and I moan giving him access to plunge his tongue into my mouth.
Jayden is the best kisser. He knows exactly what to do to have every inhibition float away. My back arches into him when he rubs his hard cock against my thigh.
I wrap my legs around him, needing friction. Breaking the kiss, he nips gently at my lips and grins that sexy, devastating smile that makes my panties wet.
“Jayden, I need you,” I whimper.
“What do you need, beautiful?” he asks as he licks down over my neck.
His shadows writhe on his skin but instead of playing with me the way they usually do, they create a dome around us, caging us into our own tiny bubble.
