Oh my God, the luxuries. Aphrodite must have broken the bank when she bought all these toiletries. I knew the shampoo and conditioner alone must have cost nearly a couple hundred dollars. But then she’d grabbed a hair masque and an apple cider rinse, along with creams for protecting against heat and oils to moisturize dry, damaged hair. That woman knew her stuff. Which I guess came with the job description.

And the clothes. Holy hell, the clothes.

I’d never felt materials so soft and supple. My shopping had always consisted of Marshalls or Target. But I had a feeling Aphrodite—or Addie, as Hephaestus called her—had never heard of those places. From the looks of the tags, she’d gone to specialized boutiques.

After my shower, in which I indulged in every single product, I stepped out, moisturized, then considered the outfit I’d chosen. I knew Hephaestus wanted to leave in the morning, so I could just slip back into my hoodie and jeans. But that seemed like an insult, and not to Hephaestus, but to the clothes themselves. These babies were dying to be worn. And truthfully, I was dying to wear them.

I slipped on the black pants, marveling at how they wrapped around my legs. Almost as though they’d been tailored for me personally. Next came the lacy half-cami. Thankfully, I was small enough not to need a bra, or even the stickies Addie had included. The hem came down to the bottom of my ribs, leaving my midriff bare and exposed. The pants rode low, almost showing off my hip bones. This was a look I’d never experimented with before. It screamed dangerous biker chick, and secretly, I loved it.

Cara would shit a brick if she saw me right now.

But hey, it was time for a new me. Maybe the new me included dressing a little more daring.

A faint thought flickered in the back of my mind, wondering what Hephaestus would think of the outfit. I bit my lip and considered my reflection once more. Was it too much? He was a Greek god, so I highly doubted a little flesh would concern him. But was this something his ex would wear? With my red hair and blue eyes, the last thing I wanted was to remind him of Aphrodite.

Which begged the question, what did I want?

I pondered that.

Deep down, I knew exactly what I wanted. I wanted Hephaestus’s mouth to drop the second he saw me. I wanted him to be interested in me. I wanted to know what it would feel like to be touched by a god.

Because who wouldn’t?

And maybe that was just my hormones talking. The whole rebound thing.

Did it make me a bad person to want to move on from Derek so quickly? I had no idea. The way I saw it, he’d broken my heart. He’d lied and cheated. I doubted he’d even ever loved me. That thought pricked my chest. It hurt because I’d loved him. And that wasn’t something someone got over in a day.
