Releasing The Gods (The Titan's Saga #1)- Leia Stone Page 0,12
of me in my swimsuit, something flared to life in his eyes, but then it was gone and replaced with a scowl. “So this is a bathing suit? Not underwear?” he questioned as we made our way back up to the deck.
The boat driver’s eyebrows hit his hairline as he caught the question, but he stayed silent.
Smart man.
“Yep and if I wanted to tan topless, that would be okay too,” I shot back.
Both men cleared their throats and I couldn’t help it. I really wanted a selfie with Cronus. It would get so many likes. He was fucking delicious. Even if he was a dick who kept calling me a prostitute.
I stalked towards the god and flipped on my forward-facing camera. “For that comment, you owe me a selfie,” I declared.
Lifting my arm up high, I tried to get my cleavage and his amazing abs all in the same shot, but my arm wasn’t long enough, not to mention he was scowling at me, which wasn’t going to go over well with my followers.
“Use your giant arm and try to look like you’re enjoying life,” I snipped at him and dropped the phone in his palm.
“This is your first and last photo of me, understood?” His voice was low and unreadable.
What a freaking buzzkill.
“Fine,” I grumbled.
He pulled his arm back. His attempt at a smile was more like a smoldering pout, because the dude had luscious full lips that made my knees go a bit weak. The second he snapped the photo, he dropped my phone in my hand and stepped away from me, taking the heat of his body with him.
I uploaded the photo quickly to my Insta wall with the hashtags #Greece #CalvinKlein #HotGreekGod #LovingLife #BlondesHaveMoreFun and then slipped my phone back into my backpack. I was hoping that upload didn’t just cost me a million dollars on my phone plan, because I had no international package set up.
“Welcome to the beaches of Agassi!” our captain shouted and spread his arms wide.
Holy shit!
White sands stretched out for miles around us and I wondered if it would be a terrible thing to just live here forever. “Come on, human,” Cronus said, leaping onto the dock in one smooth motion. Of course, that strained our bond and I almost screamed as the pain ripped along one side of me. It had the desired effect though, as I hurried my bikini-clad ass off the boat in an instant.
The driver looked like he wanted to say something, but I didn’t have time to worry about that. Trying to keep up with the long-legged stride of one asshole Titan was taking all of my concentration.
“Wait up,” I groused. “Not all of us have six-foot-long legs.”
He shot a sneer at me. “Maybe you should consider upping your cardio from selfie to jogging.”
I almost ground to a halt. If I hadn’t had very recent knowledge of the pain that would cause, I definitely would have.
“Was that sarcasm?” I asked, trying not to sound smug. “Thought that was beneath you, oh great one.”
He raised one of those impressive eyebrows in my direction and I was thankful that he slowed slightly so I could finally catch up. “If the truth is considered sarcasm, then I guess so.”
Asshole. I jogged … I’d done it at least five times in the last five years. #JoggingIsGoodForTheSoul.
Before I could argue my point further, there was a flash of light from nearby and I shrieked as my feet tangled and I almost plunged into some sandy shrubs around a palm tree. His large hand wrapped around my shoulder, stopping my fall, then he threw me over his shoulder and started to run.
“Cronus!” I yelled, slamming my hand into his solid back. Ouch. “What the fuck are you doing? You’re hurting me.”
“Gods,” he hissed back at me, and I immediately shut my mouth. “They’ve decided to stop attacking from a distance, and while my power is drained and I have no weapons, we’re at a distinct disadvantage.”
They’re here? Was that what that flash of light was? Shit.
He picked up the pace and I looked over his shoulder to find two, tall, delicious, heavily-tatted men chasing after us.
#Dead.
“They’re really hot,” I said, sounding a little dazed. Fucking gods with their perfect bodies and snarly attitudes. How had I gone my entire life never seeing men like this before, and now I had three around me.
Of course, all three wanted to kill me, but that was really beside the point.
