Kimon blew smoke out of his nose.
“Are you ready to meet me, baby bird?”
I touched his chest.
“Yes, I am.”
Kimon shimmered, and suddenly, I was looking at a man with a metal collar around his neck. Kimon was fucking gorgeous. He was still super tall and ripped with muscle. He was also stark naked. He had wild, long brown hair and bright green eyes. Kimon had a strong, straight nose and a full month.
He placed his hand over mine on his chest.
“Hi, baby bird. Maybe we could snuggle now.”
“Hi, Kimon. Maybe.”
More like, Hell yes! I wouldn’t mind diving into those big, muscular arms for a night. Kimon pulled me into an enormous hug. He gave wonderful hugs as a man too. Kimon kissed the top of my head.
“Onto the next.”
I moved to Demos. I had no idea if he was still afraid of me, so I moved slowly. He preened his feathers in irritation.
“Let’s get on with it.”
Demos burned a hole in my trousers in his frustration, but I was able to drop the God magic on his collar. I saw the same shimmer, and Demos appeared lounging on the bed nude. And he was totally showing off like some naked girl being painted on a chaise during specific art periods.
Okay, Demos was gorgeous too. He had flame-red hair that brushed his shoulders and golden eyes. His body was covered in red tattoos that looked like flames when he moved. He just sat there, grinning at me.
“Like what you see?”
Okay, so I guess Demos wasn’t mad at me anymore.
“Are all of you totally gorgeous when you aren’t monsters?” I asked.
There was a series ofyes,andI’m prettierthroughout the entire jail.
“Well, move on so I can get dressed. You’re staring at my junk like you will jump me.”
Asshole.
I walked to Pavlina’s cell. I had to climb up one of her softer webs, and she had to crouch down for me to get to her collar, but I managed.
Pavlina was undoubtedly impressive looking. She had to be at least six feet tall and slim with muscle. Her black hair fell to her waist, and I could see the red hourglass on her belly was imprinted in her hair. Based on how it looked, it was totally natural. This couldn’t be managed in a salon on Earth, but what did I know about Underworld hairdressers? Her eyes were black with red pupils.
She started strutting around naked and showing off.
“I wouldn’t mind some snuggle time too. I promise I won’t eat you.”
I wouldn’t mind snuggling with Pavlina, either. She was sexy in this dangerous way, especially since she could kill me at any moment.
“Maybe we can all snuggle.”
“I don’t mind sharing,” Pavlina said.
“I do,” Demos growled. “Especially with you.”
Since when was Demos on the snuggle train? I thought he hated me.
“My pet, will you get in the water with me when you free me?”
