Son Of Apollo

Chapter 14-Panting Three Feet Into The Jog

Jaylon POV           August 4

I probably looked psychotic just watching Avery sleep, but I couldn't help it. He looked gorgeous just laying there in the middle of my bed, surrounded by my black silk sheets. He had one hand on each side of his head, with his head pointing to the left, looking oh so innocent and succulent. 

And maybe my behavior has changed since a few days ago, but I can't explain it. I know I was fucking some whore yesterday morning, and then today, here I am talking like some love struck fool. 

I felt like yesterday gave me a bit of chance to talk to Avery and spend time with him getting to know him. He was such a sweet and innocent soul; every time we watched dancers or painters on the street he would have a glint of admiration in his eyes. I don't think he wanted to dance or paint, but he loved to see other people do it; I think he would look good dancing around; loose pants around his legs, maybe even a small cloth wrapped around his chest to give him more of a seductive and feminine appearance, yes; he would look even more gorgeous than usual. 

But I don't know what I'm gonna do. Are these feelings enough to go forward? Or are they just gonna leave once I start spending more time with Avery?

Avery POV

This feels very nice. I know for a fact that this isn't my bed, but right now I'm too comfortable to care. I just laid there being a lazy butt when I felt someone come into the room and climb on top of my body; I was secretly hoping it was Jaylon so I tried rolling over to face him like I have read in books. 

I was beginning to open my eyes when I heard next to my ear, "Good morning!!!!" making me jump, as much as I could when I was half asleep, and fall off the bed. "Oops, sorry. I really didn't mean to scare you. I thought you were up since you moved when I got on." Jathos was peering over the side of the bed. Looking apologetic but amused at the same time. 

"What time is it?" My poor bum, it hurt a bit after that fall. "A quarter past 8" He was now slightly hovering over the bed. "Where is Jaylon?" 

"In his office doing paperwork." He was looking at his left hand as if he had just gotten a manicure. 

"And Ambrosia?" he instantly stopped doing everything, like literally, his wings had stopped beating, leaving him to fall on the bed, and his body was completely relaxed, he had a content look on his face. 

"He's organizing our closet. He said that I couldn't just throw them where they wouldn't be seen, so he started to organize it completely and wouldn't let me help him. Stubborn one." I have never seen Jathos this tranquil; he always had an intense expression on his face, be it positive or negative. But right now, he just looked happy. 

"Do you not like him?" He abruptly sat up in the bed and bared his fangs at me, making me crawl backward a bit. After a few seconds, he calmed down and apologized, "Why do you ask that? I love him."

"You always have intense emotions on your face, but right now, talking about Ambrosia, you seemed a very tranquil kind of happy." He laid back down on the bed, the earlier look returning to his face.

"He makes me feel things I've never felt. You wanna know why I moved with my dad after living all these years with my momma? She was a very nice lady, or at least I thought so, she gave me all the love in the world; bought me anything I wanted, tolerated me through my whole life, explained things a billion times until I got it, to me she was the best mother. I started to visit my dad when I was around the age of 13 for humans, my momma thought that he wasn't going to own up to me since I was an incubus, and in this world we aren't the most respected people, most of us are strippers, hookers, prostitutes or things of the sort. Momma was ecstatic when dad didn't threaten to kill us or anything of the sort. At first, it was normal, I would visit the temple on the weekends and go back home to school. But when I reached junior year she was insisting on going to the temple more and more. I didn't mind since I loved spending time with my dad, but whenever we went, she was always with him. Apparently, she was trying to seduce him more and more each time we went. By the end of senior year, dad was already fed up with her and told her that she wasn't welcome anymore in the temple, he threatened to have her arrested or thrown in the dungeons. She threatened him by saying that she wouldn't let him see me. He took that as a massive threat; dad doesn't care for our mothers since they're usually one night stands, but he cares for us. So he had her banished from the city and moved me over here. She loved me, I know that much, but she wanted what she couldn't have. I felt like I had all of the love in the world with just my momma, but now that I have Ambrosia I feel like I have all of the love in the universe. And it calms me; the fact that I feel so loved by the person I love most calms me."
