Emphatically, Christina turned her back on me and curled up in a fetal position.
I put my arm on her shoulder and moved closer but she shook my hand off and hissed, “Don’t touch me.”
“Hey,” I muttered and kissed her shoulder. “It has nothing to do with us.”
Christina looked back and met my eye with tears in hers. “Until you help Athena, I won’t let you touch me.”
That stung! For the last seven days, we had ended our days with kissing and touching, and that shit was addictive as hell.
I lived for it and spent my days fantasizing about finally letting myself sink myself inside her.
That night hadn’t come yet, but I would gladly take the feeling of her naked chest rubbing against mine and her legs wrapping around my body, while kissing her long and deep.
The sounds she made when she got aroused, the feeling of her soft curves and the little cries when I made her come with my fingers and tongue… Christina was all I could think about, and the disappointment that she would deny me the highlight of my day made me tense up. “We’ll see about that,” I said, low, and turned my back on her as well. Christina might not be the initiator of our make-out sessions, but she was definitely enjoying them.I’ll give her a day until she’s begging me to touch her, I thought. But man, was I wrong!
CHAPTER 18
Athena
Christina
The morning after Magni had brought Athena to the mansion I asked Khan if I could bring her breakfast.
His slight nod was all I needed, and ten minutes later I was balancing a large tray full of fruit, bread, juice and tea.
Finn opened the door in his pants only, and I drew in a breath at the sight of his naked torso. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. The man was a cyborg, and I stared at his abdomen where his skin was peeled back and revealed the machinery underneath. I had seen plenty of people with robotic limbs, but never one who had his whole abdomen cybernetic.
He laughed at my expression and slammed his belly. “Don’t worry, it’s just a tattoo.”
My eyes expanded and I took in the artwork that had fooled me. It looked so incredibly realistic.
“Is that for me?” Finn asked and winked at me with a grin while tying his long wavy hair up in a bun.
Like Boulder he was muscled and had a bit of hair on his chest but it worried me that he was only half dressed.If he’s abused Athena in any way I’ll make sure he regrets it,I swore to myself.
“No, the food is for Athena,” I said firmly and took a step forward when he opened the door wider.
I almost dropped the tray at the horrible sight that met me. Athena was on the bed, tied down with her legs and arms spread out to the four posters.
“What did youdo?” I exclaimed with shock.
“It’s nothing. I just kept her safe.”
I quickly put down the tray and ran to get to her, my fingers frantically pulling at the knots of the ropes to free her from her restrains.
“You animal,” I accused him.
Finn didn’t look offended but leaned down to pick up a t-shirt from the floor. “I’ll give you two a few minutes,” he said and put the shirt on before he pointed to Athena with a smug smile. “And you, sexy, don’t try anything foolish again or you’ll be back in ropes in no time.”
Athena didn’t even flinch until he left the room.
“Thank you,” she muttered when I untied the last rope.
“I’m Christina, the archeologist they told you about last night when you arrived,” I explained.
When I helped her sit up, the cover fell down and revealed that she was naked.
Swallowing hard, I asked the question that was burning on my mind. “Did he…? I mean, you can tell me if he…”
