Just like before, the elevator ride seemed to take forever. I couldn’t hold in another enormous yawn.

“I can’t believe I’m so tired. I feel like I’ve run a marathon or something.”

Hades rubbed my shoulder comfortingly. “Being in Olympus around that much higher energy is exhausting for humans. We wouldn’t have been able to stay much longer, regardless if you had wanted to.”

“How long will it last?”

“You should be fine by tomorrow,” he said as the elevator doors opened. He had me step out first, and we both stopped abruptly as we looked around the room. The crystal room had been transformed. There were flowers covering every surface of the room. I couldn’t help but step closer to the walls, reaching out my hand to touch one of the vibrant pink petals of a flower that had caught my eye. The flower appeared to grow as soon as it made contact with my hand, and I quickly yanked my hand away in surprise.

“What in the world—” I said as I turned to Hades. The rest of my sentence was cut off with the way he was looking at me. There was a new gleam in his eye. It looked a lot like hope. And it made me nervous.

“Do your rooms regularly change like this?” I asked him, wanting to know what he was thinking. My question seemed to yank him out of whatever trance he had been in, and he was in front of me, holding me within seconds.

“Not usually,” he said, that same strange sparkle in his eye. All of a sudden, the room’s wonders faded from my mind as I realized that his lips were inching ever closer to mine.

Like before, the kiss was soft, like a quiet whisper. I couldn’t help but dig my hips into his, wanting more. My lips parted, encouraging him to explore my mouth with his tongue. Completely possessed with a blinding desire, I found myself lowered onto a velvet couch that had appeared out of nowhere. He braced himself above my body, claiming my mouth in a way that made me want him to claim every last inch of me. My chest expanded beneath him with heavy breaths, and we melted into one, my arms locked around his neck as if I had no intention of ever letting go. His fingers shaped to the fine contours of my skull as if I was the most precious and delicate thing that he’d ever touched.

I finally pulled away with a gasp as we lay there staring at each other. Never in my life had I reacted to someone like that. He stared at me in a possessive, hungry way that sent sparks shooting across my body. I wanted more…but at the same time, I was scared at how fast this had started moving. A few hours ago, I was thinking I was the victim of a kidnapping…and now I liked him.

“I think we should go back to the manor,” I told him in a breathy voice that I couldn’t hide.
