CHAPTER
Seven
Cat scrambled out of bed and stood on the opposite side of the room from Lelantos. His face was a mask of rage and confusion. She pushed away the feeling of loss over the fact he no longer looked at her with affection and longing. Now his eyes were hard, his lips set in a thin line.
Her gaze strayed to his heaving chest, his naked form and fisted hands. He was pissed off and if she wasn’t careful their previous encounter during the War of the Gods would be repeated in a hotel room in New York City.
She swallowed, knowing the time for lies had long passed. “I know who you are, Lelantos. I’ve always known.”
His eyes widened before he searched the room for his clothes. He threw on his pants and fumbled with the zipper in his haste. Cat wanted to go to him, help and reassure him that she wasn’t his enemy. And yet she couldn’t. She was the enemy and all too soon he would know the truth about her. Of what she had been sent to do.
“I want your real name and I want it now.”
“My name isn’t important.” Cat swiped her dress off the floor and pulled it over her head. Feelings and confusing thoughts whirled around in her mind. What she should say? What she should do? How to kill him? Save him?
He stormed toward her and pushed her up against the wall. His hands against her flesh were like steel bars and yet heat coursed up her veins at his touch. Even in temper she wanted him.
“It is,” he said, the breath of his words warm against her lips.
Her gaze flicked to his mouth. He had lovely lips, supple and just the right size to nip during a sensual kiss.
“Answer me!”
“Caitlin,” she paused testing the strength of his hold, “daughter of Zeus.”
He pushed her away as if the burning flames of Hades leapt from her flesh. Cat watched him storm toward the window to gaze out over the city. His shoulders rose and fell with every breath, the tension across his back flexing his muscles.
“And younger sister to Chloe.”
He shook his head and laughed, the sound ominous. “Why are you here?”
“To kill you.”
He turned about and glared. “Really? And how do you think to manage that? I’m a Titan. A powerful deity just as yourself. I won’t go down without a fight.”
Cat shrugged. “I wouldn’t want you to. I’d hate for you to make it easy for me.” At her words he was silent. She stayed where she was, unsure as to what his reaction would be. But by the predatory gleam in his eyes, something she hadn’t seen before, she knew he wasn’t going to play nice.
“Why bother to fuck me when all you intend is to kill. What was the point of all this shit?” he asked, waving a hand to encompass the space between them.
Something about his stance, which seemed poised for action, put her on guard. Cat shimmered into
