“Yes, I agree. Now how are you feeling?” Cracking my eyes peacefully open, I observe him through heavily lidded eyelids. His hand is still in my hands. Careful. Like he is afraid he'll spook me if he moves a muscle.
“Much better.” I grin. “Thank you for stopping in to check on me. I have been enjoying your company.”
The words fell out of me before I recognized what I was saying.
My cheeks burned as I watched the god.
Shifting, he wraps his arms around me. Pulling me close. He smells like a bonfire in the summertime. Smokey and rich. I wanted to bury myself deeper into him.
Just as quick as the hug came, it left. Leaving me craving more.
Taking a step back from the bed he averts his eyes as he runs his fingers through his golden curls.
Contorting to face the God of the Sun, I recognize a heavy crimson tone painted across his cheeks.
I made Apollo blush.
Gods, I want to climb on top of him and never let go.
Awkwardly, he shifts his weight between his feet. “Good! Because we’re going on a trip.” He grins widely down on me.
“Where to?” Pulling my legs over the edge of the bed, I close my book and set it on the end table.
“It is a surprise.” He grins excitedly.
“A surprise?” I ask, “What’s sparked you wanting to surprise me?”
Apollo rocks back and forth on his feet. “It is my way of thanking you. I know you’ll love our destination.”
His excitement is palpable. “Okay, let me pack,” I reply.
“No need. I'm sending a servant to come and pack for you. They’ll transport your luggage to us. Then you won’t have to try to hold onto a suitcase while we’re irising.”
“Hold up… irising?” Giving him a skeptical look, I ask, “What’s that?”
“It's how immortals travel.” He smiles, “Trust me?” Apollo extends his hand.
I pause briefly.
Do I trust him?
I want to trust him so badly.
So, I take it. Now fully curious as to where we will be going.
With a whoosh of the blinding rainbow spreads around them. My stomach was being pulled in every direction.
Lights flashing, I feel the world being ripped from around us and being thrown elsewhere. Gripping tightly onto Apollo, he laughs at my side.
I could picture the grin he was giving me right now.
“Open your eyes,” he whispers against my ear. “You don’t want to miss this.
Forcing my eyes open, I watch the world twist. Every shade of color flowed around us.
Holding Apollo even tighter, I shout, “Don’t let go of me!”
“I wouldn’t dream of it,” he shoots me his crooked grin.
