Chapter 15

"Well, thank you very much!" I said as I walked into Tethys' study later that day.

She laughed as I dropped into an armchair and then came to join me, sitting on my lap and putting her arms around my neck.

"No, this has worked in the past, but it's not going to work today, I'm very angry with... with...," she kissed my neck and cheek and my brain stopped working.

"I'm sorry, Love," she said softly, kissing and nibbling, "How can I ever make it up to you?"

"Tethys, that's not fair," I complained.

"Then I'm sorry for that too," she whispered, in no way convincing.

She finally pulled back after a few more kisses that left me unable to think properly.

"Now, what were you saying?" she asked sweetly.

"Something very important..."

"I'm sure," she said, nuzzling my neck again.

I turned towards her, our noses brushing against each other's.

"You are quite evil."

"As advertised."

She hugged me tight, grinning all the while.

"You know..." she began.

I gave her a raised eyebrow.

"What?" she protested, "I didn't even say anything yet!"

"That tone always means trouble."

"That's just mean."

"Then prove me wrong, what were you going to say?"

Her eye twitched, "Shut up."

I laughed and she rolled her eyes before joining in.

"What were you going to say?" I asked.

"No, you've ruined it. I had a whole bit where I was going to tell you that I've changed my mind, and that I fully intended to ravish you, you've spoiled it."

Now it was my turn to roll my eyes. She cuddled in closer to me.

"But, now that you mention it, that redheaded friend of yours looked tasty. Dibs."

"She's straight."

"So was Kandi."

"Hands to yourself."

"If you don't surrender the redhead, then I shall just have to find something else for these hands to do," she whispered, tracing her fingers along my jaw and neck.

"Too bad you already told me that this can't happen. I am immune to your charms, Tethys Smyth!" I said with a smile, "From now on, I'm just going to assume that anything naughty you do is to be resisted."

"I take it back."

"Too late. You've surrendered the war. Mathew wins."

"Wait just a minute! That is not what happened! I had you on your back, in the palm of my hand. You'd have gone there if I wanted, I win!"

"And now we're permanently platonic. I win," I countered with an evil smile.

"Oh no, don't you dare try to turn this around like that!" she said, darting up and waggling a finger.

I grinned widely and darted for the door. She pursued and grabbed my illusion around the chest, causing it to disintegrate.

"You little bastard, you come back here and I'll show you who won!" she shouted, darting around to see me climbing out the window. I tossed her a jaunty two-fingered salute and dropped, catching myself with my Will, lowering myself gently to the ground outside the front door.

She was already through after me, landing with a gentle flex of her legs before shooting off in pursuit.

"Come here," she whispered menacingly, her eyes black, her horns in evidence.
