Jill quickly kenneled the dogs and phoned the owners to let them know they could

pick up their prized pets. Her face remained flushed and her fingers trembled as she

locked the gates and made notes on nearby paperwork. Bacchus waited for her to finish.

She dropped the pen into the holder and turned to him. He said nothing as he reached

for her, tugging her hand and leading her toward the car.

“Where are we going?”

“A white-shuttered hotel on the beach,” he said, slipping behind the wheel after

settling her in the car. With a few quick directions from Jill, he pulled out of the lot.

Her expression was dreamy, due in part to the orgasm, but also because of the

intoxicating properties in his saliva and pheromones. The biological properties couldn’t

force a woman to join. They only enhanced her pleasure, made her more pliant. In the

end, the choice was hers whether to act upon the sensations.

“Are you happy here in this place?” Bacchus asked.

“You mean Los Angeles?”

He nodded. “Yes.”

“It holds a lot of memories for me—not all good.”

Bacchus tilted his head. “If you had a chance to leave, would you?”

Her face scrunched. “I suppose it would depend on where I was going and who I

was going with,” she said, adding a small smile.

They drove through the canyon then headed south on Pacific Coast Highway. It

wasn’t long before Bacchus pulled under the familiar awning that held the entrance to

the hotel.

A valet jumped out from behind a stand and rushed toward their vehicle. He

opened the door for Jill first, then strolled around in front of the car to take the key.

Bacchus handed it to him, no longer needing it, since he had every intention of staying

here until he could convince Jill that they belonged together. Ryan would return in time

to find his vehicle more or less in the condition that he’d left it.

Bacchus caught up with Jill in a couple of strides and clasped her elbow. A minute

later, they’d rented a room using Jill’s ID and the cash he’d borrowed from the Atlanteans.

He led her down the hall past Ryan’s old space, not able to sense the man or his new

love. Bacchus hesitated for a moment, then continued on. He walked to the door

numbered 17, opened it and stepped aside, waiting for Jill to enter. She turned and faced

him, her hand resting upon his chest, her fingers rubbing carelessly over the loose

button on his green shirt.

“I’m not sure we should be here.” Her blue eyes widened and her gaze darted in

and out of the room in indecision.

Bacchus lifted her hand to his lips and kissed her knuckles one by one. “We will not

do anything you do not wish.” He lied, knowing he could make her want until her only

option would be surrender.

Her mouth parted as he kissed her fingertip. “It’s been a long time,” she said, her

voice breathless.

“We can take things as slow as you like,” he said, praying to the Goddess for

strength to follow through with his promised words.

Afternoon sunlight spilled through the window, bathing the carpet in a buttery

glow.
