Chapter Twelve

Epimetheus sat on one of the stools positioned along the counter separating the kitchen from the living room. He’d overdone it with fixing the water damage and telling her it never existed. He felt how hard it was for her to stretch her imagination enough to accept his story. But the fact remained that humans preferred a pretty lie to an ugly truth, and he suspected the truth was he’d somehow caused the earthquake that burst the pipe.

His dream of Rhea was as vivid as the memory of Elpida’s fragile neck in his grasp. If he was right, his stress over Rhea’s threat was what unleashed some of his power in his sleep. And that was beyond worrisome. Titans were supposed to have absolute power and absolute command over it. How could he be... leaking without being aware of it? And what if next time he hurt Elpida? There had been faint red marks around her neck when she’d left the room. He’d been their cause, and he’d never allow himself to harm her again.

No doubt this was what Rhea wanted. She’d outright said so. But what was it to her if Elpida died at his hand? If Rhea was still around, she could snap Elpida’s neck in reality, if she desired. There was no reason for dramatics.

He had a hard time believing she had Epimetheus’ best interest at heart, but she always favored her youngest son, Zeus, above all. What if Elpida somehow held the key to defeating him? But the cop’s memories said Zeus was gone, along with the rest of the Olympians.

Ugh, thinking wasn’t Epimetheus’ thing, and this was why. You could chase your tail for hours, second-guessing everything and seeking ulterior motives. Epimetheus trusted his gut, and he’d seldom been wrong. Even with Pandora, and despite what she brought on to humanity, he’d been right about the most important thing—her heart was good and filled with love.

Elpida stepped into the room, and all thought stalled. She wore a long sweater and a pair of socks. Her legs looked impossibly long for someone of her diminutive statute, and with her hair pulled back like yesterday and no makeup on, she looked fresh and ethereal.

He stood and willed her to go to him for a kiss. It didn’t work. She rounded the bench instead, and he followed her into the kitchen.

With a timid smile, she said, “How do you feel about a very late breakfast?”

On the wall behind her, the kitchen clock showed it was after three in the afternoon, not that that affected Epimetheus’ appetite. Still, she had to see him eat at some point. “I’m up for it if you are.”

“I’m starving.” She laughed when her stomach stressed her point. “How about omelet? I have spinach, mushrooms, cheese, bacon—the works.”

He shrugged. He’d never tasted an omelet, but his borrowed memory of it seemed good. “Sure. Can I help?”

Elpida pursed her lips, and he wanted to claim them again. Wanted to lift her on that bench and take her.
