Brigit

Bastard children.

Bastard children fill my mind and fill my belly with acid. They keep me up all night in the room on Zeus’s floor. He was so clever when he designed this space. His personal rooms take up fully half of the penthouse level. A slim quarter is taken by the attic space, and the rest is a series of guest rooms, all with their own stairs from a common elevator. Hades and Persephone have the largest suite.

I have the smallest.

It’s still huge. Just not huge enough to truly pace around for any length of time. I make it work through the delivery of my breakfast tray the next morning, stare at the ceiling until lunch, and waste most of the afternoon trying not to think of Zeus. It makes my face hot to think of him, and other parts of my body flushed.

It’s all too much.

It’s almost evening when I go down to the spa with a teacup cradled in my palms. A nudge at my elbow almost spills it onto my hands.

“Oh shit, I’m sorry.” The voice belongs to auburn-haired, freckled Alicia, who puts her hand on my arm. “You’re back.”

“Where were you?” I didn’t see her at the party last night.

“I had an extended contract. I was here, just not... downstairs.” Worry clouds her eyes. “The girls have been saying things about you.”

“Let them.”

“You weren’t stolen, then?”

Countertop. Mirror. I avert my eyes from the ones here. “It was brief,” I tell her. “I’m back now.”

Alicia pouts. “But not in our room?”

“No. Zeus moved me somewhere else.”

She raises her eyebrows. “Are you two—”

“We two are nothing,” I tell her. “Will you do my makeup?” I settle into a chair and spin myself away from the mirror. Alicia is delighted, fluttering around the stacks of new products. “Do you have a client lined up for tonight?”

Her eyes widen as she comes in with moisturizer, and she shakes her head.

“I’m working a special event.” She gasps. “You should come too. It’s a lot of money. Reya,” she calls, turning away from me, her hand hovering over some foundation. “Can Brigit work the dinner?”

Reya seems distracted, her shining hair piled on top of her head in a bun. She’s swiping on mascara. Not looking at us. “I’ll add it to the ledger later,” she says. “Get her where she needs to be.” Someone else calls for her, and she’s gone.

“What’s the dinner?”

Alicia bites her lip. “It’s this exclusive, once-a-year thing. Zeus only invites ten men. And the girls who get to work the dinner get huge bonuses.”

“For doing what? Fucking them at the table?”

She laughs, and it’s warm and real.

It isn’t all heartbreak, coming here.

“For serving them naked.”

I stare at her so long that Alicia stops what she’s doing with concealer and blush. “Did I break you? Are you— Is something wrong with your brain?”

“I’m so excited,” I tell her. “This is perfect.”
