Chapter Seven - Delphinos

When Halie left him behind like she was hounded by Poseidon’s seals, Delphinos didn’t give chase. If she wanted to talk, she’d have stayed. He asked her not to go to the surface, to look for yet another man, and she ignored his wishes. He had his pride. He wouldn’t grovel. Halie’d blow off some steam and come to him again, like she did earlier.

Only, the hours passed, and she didn’t.

He waited until the palace darkened, and then entered the great bubble, turned himself into a lizard, and crawled along the castle’s outer wall and through her open window. Inside, he changed back into his human form. His naked human form. She should be reminded of what she was giving up.

Halie lay in bed. He ached to join her and slide along her skin like the silk beddings. Instead, he sat beside her and caressed her cheek. “Hey.”

She opened her eyes, and her gaze was too clear for someone who was sleeping seconds ago. “What are you doing here?” she asked.

Her question stung. He’d always come and gone from her rooms at will. “I wanted to check in on you. See if you were all right. When you left—” Anger roiled up his throat, but he swallowed it and kept his tone even. “Why did you leave that way? We shared a moment on the beach. You felt what I did; I saw it in your eyes. Why run? Did I hurt you?”

“No. Of course not.” She sat up and gathered the covers around her, like she was afraid he’d tear them away.

“Then what?”

“I thought we were done.”

“Done?” he hissed, although he wanted to roar his fury for the world to hear.

“With the fucking.” She flinched, but her expression turned defiant in the blink of an eye. “Was there a new position you wanted to try, before I go? I can stay up a little longer, if you have any good ideas.”

He recoiled as if she’d slapped him. “You know that’s not what I mean. When you came to me and asked me to take you to Santorini, I thought you’d reconsidered leaving. Can we at least talk about it?”

“Okay. Let’s talk. Why do you want me to stay? Are you tired of seeking me out when my memory fades?”

He slammed his fist on the mattress, the lack of resistance adding to his ire. Why was she being so stubborn? “I’m fucking in love with you, Halie. How can you not know it? Every time you go seeking a man who isn’t me, it’s like a spear wound to my chest. I ache for you. Burn with a hunger that won’t be sated in a million years. Oceanus be my witness, I’d let you go if I thought a mortal could make you half as happy as I can, but none of the males you chase after will ever deserve you. They won’t even know you, because you’re not yourself with them. You’re who you think they’ll love.
