“They’re rare, but Odin is one,” I told her. “And he’s a House leader.”

“That imposter?” she snorted. “He’s not Odin.”

“He is in this reality,” I assured her.

She appeared to be ready to argue that but paused with a frown. “Does that mean your reality has another version of me? More creation era gods?”

“If we do, I’ve never met them. And I’ve been on this earth for over fifteen hundred years.”

“Oh.” She considered me. “Where were you before that? Another realm?”

“Not alive,” I told her. “Vampires are all born or created in this world, not another. At least… not in my reality.”

Which was a weird thing to say because I couldn’t fathom another version of this existence.

However, this being before me obviously could.

“I see,” she murmured, her gaze going to my mouth. “Yet you seem to be the only one I want to taste, so there is clearly something special about you.”

“Fate magic,” I reminded her.

“Maybe.” Her golden irises swirled with intrigue as she looked up again. “I think it might just be your power, though, King.”

She pressed her lips to my neck, her blunt teeth skimming my pulse in a teasing bite.

My hands returned to her hips, holding her. “Nyx…”

She hummed in response, then went to her toes to press her lips to my ear. “I’m going to lick you, Vesperus. Maybe not tonight. But soon.”

She nipped my ear and started to pull away, but I tightened my grip and lifted her off the pool floor.

Nyx giggled as I switched our positions, pressing her up against the wall and sliding my thigh between hers.

“I fully intend to lick you, too,” I promised against her mouth. “Thoroughly.”

I drew my hands up her sides, allowing her body to slide down mine as her feet returned to the floor.

“Completely.”

I flexed my thigh between hers and slowly lifted it upward.

“Right here,” I told her, my leg meeting her bare pussy. “Until you beg me to stop.”

“Never going to happen,” she said, her fingers in my hair again, her mouth whispering across mine. “I’ll beg you to keep going.” She nibbled my lower lip and pressed herself against my thigh. “I’ll test your stamina, King.”

I smiled against her mouth, my fingers trailing along the underside of her breasts. “That’s only fair,” I agreed, my palm drifting up to circle her throat. “Because I fully intend to test your stamina as well, Goddess. Just in a very different way.”

I squeezed, indicating what I meant.

How long can you hold your breath?I whispered into her mind.How much can you swallow?

But I didn’t give her a chance to reply.

I kissed her instead. It was a temptation I should have resisted, an allure I should have avoided.

However, I couldn’t.

Not with her tight, sexy body pressed up against mine, all hot and aroused andwet.
