Kyra

Chapter Fifteen

In his usual office, Ares found his long-time best friend Eros hanging around his desk, waiting for him. They'd arranged to meet to discuss war tactics.

As ever, the angel God had made himself comfortable in his friend's home, letting himself in and snooping around before Ares could arrive.

"Long time no see," Eros said, having already helped himself to Ares' alcohol supply.

"You know where to find me."

"But it's morose here. Swing by mine and have yourself some fun."

As similar as they were in so many aspects, the Gods were also the complete opposite of each other. Ares lived in a place of routine. He woke up and worked, constantly overseeing his Amazons and granting wishes. On the other hand, Eros—when he wasn't floating by the lake of angels—was usually found balls deep inside of anything with a hole.

"Pass," Ares said, snatching the glass from him. "Maybe next time."

"What's got you all holed up here then?" As different as they were, they'd always made an effort to meet up more. Lifestyles like theirs could get lonely. Plus, they were pretty much the only friend each other had. "I heard you had a tiff with Nadine not so long ago."

The memory of Nadine's dark magic on Kyra had his hackles rising. "The bitch overstepped. She's fucking with stuff she knows is mine."

If Nadine attempted to touch Kyra again, Ares would make sure she died. Especially now he'd bonded with her.

"This shit being?" Eros asked.

"She's fucking with my woman."

"Your woman." Eros raised an eyebrow. He finds this funny. That laughter would come to a swift end when he found out about the bonding. "I wasn't aware you had one of those."

"Don't make this one of your stupid monogamy rants."

Eros was strictly against settling down. He didn't even do exclusivity. He wouldn't understand.

"Wasn't going to," The winged man assured. "I'm still waiting for the punchline. Where did you meet this woman? You're holed up here all the time. Swing by the Common World maybe?"

"She's my Amazon."

"Oh, so you're sleeping with the army now. Does that option go for everyone, 'cause last I heard you said the Amazons were off limits?"

If given the chance, Eros would sleep with every single one of them. For that reason alone, he was sworn against them.

"I'm not sleeping with her."

This thing with Kyra didn't boil down to sex. Fuck, he'd decided to bond with her before intimacy.

"So you haven't fucked the girl."

He rubbed the back of his neck, looking away.

"I didn't say that."

Taking her virginity hadn't been the only time. He'd had her in his bed repeatedly since. Each time she acted out, Kyra got fucked. And each time Kyra was horny, Kyra got fucked. I'm not complaining. Her libido was endless.

"Yes. You did. Makes more sense now. This is about sex. She that good?"

"It's not about sex." This was so much more than sex. Destiny had told him what was happening. "Reliable information tells me I'm going to love her."

"Reliable information." Eros clacked his tongue against the roof of his mouth, unimpressed. "Dick move Ares. You know about the future and didn't tell me."
