Skylar looks one more time at the mirror to see if he's presentable enough. Well, not that he has to since he's the son of Aphrodite for goddess' sakes but he just wants to make sure.
"You look gorgeous." Skylar turns and he grins when he sees Johnny right at his bedroom door.
"You didn't even knock." He points out.
"It's my privilege." Johnny shrugs. "I'm driving you to the office today. Are you ready?"
Skylar grabs the folder at his bedside table. "Yep. I'm excited."
"Don't be so confident though, I read that your prey is a real lady killer. Seducing him won't be so easy." Johnny reminds. "You might have aced your interview but meeting him is the real deal."
"It's like you don't even know me." Skylar rolls his eyes. "This will be a piece of cake."
Johnny drives Skylar towards the company. Before getting off the car, Johnny holds onto Skylar's arm. "What is it?" the younger asks.
"Something feels weird." Johnny says. "Do you sense it?"
"Sense what?"
Johnny looks around. "Nevermind... but be careful."
"You're being paranoid." Skylar chuckles. "I'll be fine. Kai Hernandez is just another one of my targets."
"But just to be sure..." Johnny tugs him closer. Skylar thought he was messing around but the elder's gaze says otherwise. Skylar knows he's just worried so he allowed him to pull him close.
Johnny pulls him in for a kiss. Skylar's grown used to is so he lets the elder take the lead. Johnny pulls away with a satisfied grin on his lips. He swipes his thumb onto the younger's bottom lip before letting him go.
"Good, now you're all covered up with Eros' pheromones. You're attractiveness is skyrocketing right now." Johnny says.
"If I get jumped, I'm blaming you." Skylar waves him goodbye as he left the car.
"Update me, I'll head over to my target as well." Johnny says.
Once he was gone, Skylar heads straight into the company building. As expected, heads were turning as he made his way towards the receptionist.
He internally curses Johnny. He didn't need Eros' pheromones. He already catches a lot of attention normally, he doesn't need more of it. Right now it feels like everyone that lands their eyes on him is mentally undressing him. He only asks for Johnny's help when he's facing difficult targets but the elder seems persistent with helping him today.
Johnny is also the number one reason on why he became such a good kisser. When they became partners, Skylar is nothing but a complete novice and Eros' son trained him for almost everything. Everything except sex though. Because unlike Johnny, Skylar doesn't need to have sex to maintain his powers. That's one of the differences between Aphrodite and Eros' powers. That is also why Skylar doesn't need to go all the way with any of his targets.
"Good morning, I'm here for Mister Kai Hernandez, I'm his new assistant." Skylar greets the receptionist.
The receptionist instantly blushes upon seeing him. "Oh... wow." she breathes out.
"I get that a lot." He mutters under his breath. "So, may I know where's the office of Mister Hernandez?" he asks.
"He prefers to be called sir Kai since Mister Hernandez is his father." the receptionist reminds. "His office is at the fifteenth floor."
Skylar thanks her before heading towards the elevator. He fixes his I.D and checks if his files were complete. He presses the fifteenth floor button and waits.
