Twenty-Two

At some point, he and Sophia would need to have a proper talk, but in the meantime Triton had to work on practicing his speech about what to say to her, how to convince her that it didn’t matter that things were developing quickly between them.

What he wanted from her was plain and simple: her love. For one reason, and one reason only: so he could return home.

Liar.

Triton shut the door of his bedroom and grabbed the remote. He flicked on the TV, not bothering to change the channel from the dull news program he’d watched the night before to bore himself to sleep.

So what if he was lying to himself about why he wanted Sophia to love him? It wasn’t like anybody would ever find out. He sure wasn’t going to broadcast it when he was back home. He’d keep that little secret safely tucked away in the dark recesses of his mind, never to see the light of day again.

Triton let himself fall onto the bed. His hands went over his head touching the wall. She was right there on the other side of it.

Sophia. By the gods, how this woman stirred him. The way she’d kissed him, pressed herself against him as if she never wanted to let go, he’d gobbled it up. And the taste of her sweet lips, the soft touch of her tongue, the scent of her arousal. No, it hadn’t escaped him. Nothing about her escaped him: the hotness of her skin, her fast heartbeat, her breathless voice. He knew he didn’t leave her unaffected.

Triton sighed and closed his eyes. He wanted her love, not to return home, but for himself. If that meant he was selfish, so be it.

“...and now the weather,” the woman from the news channel droned. “A storm is building off the East Coast.” He listened up and stared at the TV screen. “It is expected to affect states as far north as Rhode Island and as far south as Florida. The National Weather Service has not released any precise predictions yet as to the strength and direction of the storm, but they are saying it will be a big one. We should know more in the next three to four days. At this point the storm is still far out over the Atlantic. Over to you, Jim.”

Triton jumped up. “Shit!”

This was his job. With his powers, he was the only one who could divert the storm. While his father was the god and supreme ruler of all seas, once he’d passed the power to calm storms onto Triton, Poseidon couldn’t interfere. Only he, Triton, could pass the power back voluntarily, but since he didn’t currently command that power, there was nothing he could do. Only Zeus was powerful enough to rob other gods of their powers.

Triton cursed. Mortals would suffer, be hurt, even die, because he couldn’t do what he was meant to do. Triton’s millennia of experience with storms had taught him not to underestimate the warning of the Weather Service.
