X. A LOVER'S DECLARATION

"Mortal lives will be lost tonight," Apollo said, his eyes narrowed.

I sort of believed it. But I didn't know if he would be doing the killing or if I would.

We were at a pub in the Temple Bar district called The Auld Dubliner. The crowd was massive and loud, and the band was still setting up. With a little divine manipulation, we'd been able to skip the longest line in history and be admitted for free. Dating a Greek god definitely had its perks.

We stood by one of the bars not too far from the stage, trying not to be seen, but being seen by everyone. I had to admit, we made a great looking pair. Seeing Apollo dressed in blue jeans, a t-shirt, and casual boots was such a turn on for me. I loved his warrior garb but this was something else. He looked amazingly mortal with his disheveled hair and diamond blue eyes, and I wasn't the only one who noticed. Just as many women stared at him as men stared at me in the tight black dress and heels Vicky had lent me. Indeed, a massacre was on the horizon.

"Let's drink," I said, turning toward the bar and looking over the beer selections.

Apollo's hand slipped into my hair and gripped the back of my head. "You are, by far, the most beautiful woman present," he whispered into my ear.

I didn't feel like we were in another dimension so I figured there was some other magic at work to allow me to hear him so well in the noisy pub. "Thank you. You're pretty handsome yourself."

A brow rose. "You like this look on me?"

I nodded. "It's very nice. Your hair is normally so pristine. It's refreshin' to see it a bit undone." To make my point, I ran my fingers through it.

"What if I wore my hair like him?"

I turned to look at the band member Apollo was talking about. I smiled. "Dreadlocks? You want dreadlocks?"

"You don't like them?"

I shrugged. "They're okay for someone in a band, I guess. But I much prefer your look to tha'."

"Ah, I see."

"Wha' can I get for ya, love?" the female bartender called to me.

"A cider and a blue label, straight up."

"We've only got black and red."

"Black then." The bartender nodded and turned away to fill our order.

"Did you just order for me?" Apollo asked, but he was smiling.

"Did it turn you on?" I replied with a wink.

"More than usual? Yes, and I didn't think that was possible."

I laughed and our drinks arrived. Apollo settled the tab, and after a swig of my cider, I directed my gaze to the center of the pub where a few wild ones were already bopping around to the house music streaming from the pub's speakers.

"Don't even think about it, woman," Apollo said, giving me a warning look. I grinned, grabbed his free hand, and started pulling him in that direction. Apollo could have easily stopped me, but he only laughed as I pushed through the growing crowd until I reached a prime spot to watch the band from.
