“Case in point.” Zeus gestured at her, taking a step closer to her when Tiger moved to inspect the same spot Hope was focused on. “You did say you feel better, right?”
“And I guess you think you caused that with your magic dick, huh?”
Now she was the one who’d surprised a laugh out of him. He was starting to realize she liked to be prim and proper, so when she did make a crude or outrageous statement, it was particularly shocking. It definitely worked on him.
He was close enough to wrap his arm around her and pull her against him. One of her hands came to rest on his chest, both of their other arms outstretched toward the dogs.
“Are you saying it didn’t?”
“Well, it probably didn’t hurt the situation,” she admitted.
Leaning down, Zeus gave her a hard kiss.
Unfortunately, with neither of them paying attention to the dogs, both dogs apparently got jealous. He jerked back when he felt the leash suddenly wrapping tightly around his legs, but it was already too late.
“Tiger!”
“Hope!”
Both animals froze in place, looking up at them with perfectly innocent expressions, as if they hadn’t just wrapped their leashes around Yas and Zeus, trapping them together. Laughing, Yas clung to him to help keep herself upright.
“Damn dogs,” Zeus muttered, even though he wasn’t sad about the situation at all.
He made a mental note to give both of them a treat later.
Yasmine
Although she didn’t appreciate being snapped at, Yasmine was willing to overlook Zeus’ bad temper once she’d realized Noelle had called him. Especially since he’d immediately apologized without her having to say a thing. She wouldn’t want to talk to that bitch, either. The fact that she’d cheated on Zeus, and messed up things between him and his team… but Yasmine wasn’t going to push to talk about that because she didn’t want to accidentally reveal that she knew a little too much about it.
Eventually, she would probably have to tell Zeus that she knew his team. And that she’d known pretty much from the beginning.
But this definitely wasn’t the time.
Not when he was already fighting off a bad mood.
The dogs helped a lot. Getting tangled up in their leashes had not been part of the plan to cheer him up, but even he couldn’t help but smile as Hope and Tiger pranced around them like they were trying to be helpful and just kept making the situation worse. Yasmine wasn’t helping because she couldn’t stop giggling—and she really didn’t mind being pressed up against Zeus for a little longer.
Especially when it wasn’t her fault.
She liked it a little too much, and she didn’t think it was all sexual because her vagina really couldn’t take another pounding. Two bouts of hot sex in two days were already more sex than she’d had in a while. Her butt was still tingly and sensitive from the spanking, too. And her nipples were probably going to be sore for at least another day after having the clamps on them for so long.
Yeah, she did not need more sex. Or even another orgasm.
But she liked being snuggled up against him.
Was she a little disappointed when he finally got them all untangled?
Yeah.
Just a bit.
“Anyway.” Zeus put his hand on her back to get them moving again, and she ignored the little pang of loss that she felt when it dropped away after she started walking. “Do you want to come to my place for dinner tonight?”
“Oh…”
Yes. Yes, she did. Which made her reexamine whether she should because the desire to go was stronger than it should be for someone who wasn’t a boyfriend, right? On the other hand, they’d already had more sex than she ever had with a guy right away, and she definitely wouldn’t have dinner two nights in a row with a man she’d just started dating, so if they did eat together tonight, then it would still be going against her normal rules for relationships.
“It’s not a date, just to be clear,” Zeus said, like he could read her mind. “I’m planning on eating leftovers.”
