As soon as we were inside the cabin. Ash dropped everything, picked me up, and carried me to the bedroom.
ChapterEighteen
Ash
By the time I was done with her, I was done, too. How long had it been since I’d fucked until I couldn’t fuck anymore?
Everything about Lorraine was different. For the first time in three centuries, I was completely satiated. I hadn’t felt this satisfied since Ava.
I growled with frustration as soon as I thought it. Dammit, Lorraine was not supposed to be the same as Ava. I didn’t care about her the way I had about that woman. I couldn’t be tied up in the same mess.
This was the worst possible place for history to repeat itself.
Lorraine fell asleep after we’d orgasmed and changed positions and orgasmed again, too many times to count. Carefully, I pulled on my clothes and crept out of the room so that I didn’t wake her.
I stepped out of the cabin and closed the door silently behind me before I turned toward the dusk. The sun had set, and although it wasn’t dark yet, I could smell the promise of night in the air, taste it on my tongue.
I walked across the clearing in front of the cabin deep in thought. I was in danger of falling for Lorraine if we kept this up. Seduction was my gift—I could make any woman want me—but it wasn’t supposed to be the other way around. She could get me worked up and ready by just looking at me, and women didn’t usually have that power over me.
It didn’t have anything to do with how I felt about her. It couldn’t.
“Well, that was interesting.” Dolus was suddenly in front of me.
I froze. “What was?”
“Is this going to be a problem?”
I shook my head. “You better not be commenting on my sex life.”
“You better not be talking to a god that way,” Dolus clapped back. Right. He was a god. I still had to respect him, even when he commented on my day with Lorraine.
I growled at the back of my throat, but I tried to bring my irritation under control. When I walked toward the trees, Dolus fell into step beside me.
“I thought you were serious about a fresh start,” he said.
“I am.”
“So, you’re not stuck on this one?”
“I’m not,” I said tightly. “It’s just sex, for fuck’s sake.”
“Is it?”
“Are you trying to tell me it’s not?”
Dolus shook his head. “All I’m saying is that you need to know what you want, and make it happen. You can’t be attached to anything in this life you’re trying to leave behind, or it doesn’t work. The magic just won’t allow it.”
I cursed under my breath. “It’s not going to be a problem.”
Dolus studied me in silence for a beat before he nodded.
“Good,” he said. “Because you’re looking for trouble if you’re going to involve yourself with a human again. I would have thought you learned your lesson the first time.”
I pulled my lips back in a snarl, but I didn’t snap at Dolus the way I wanted to. He was a god. Besides, he had a point. I wanted this, but I was dangerously close to making the same mistake twice.
“It won’t be a problem,” I said gruffly instead.
“Are you sure?”
