"There's no way Rowan is your son," I stated, "I'm going to do this DNA test with a doctor I choose. One you have never met and will never meet. Doctor Rick can go fuck himself if he thinks I'll believe anything he says to me."
I threw the DNA papers on the floor. Their results had to be faked. There's no way he's Aodhan's father. Then again, how would I know? If he is Aodhan's father, there's no way I'd let him know. The type of man he is scares me.
"What makes you think I've ever agreed to something like that?" Zeus scoffed.
I dropped my head, taking a step closer to Zeus, making sure that he knew I was serious, "If you mess with me or my son, if you even think it, I'll shoot you again."
Zeus cleared his throat before walking to the window, "How am I supposed to believe that?"
"You don't have a choice," I glared.
"What makes you-"
"Try me, Zeus!" I hollered. My voice echoing the walls of his new mansion.
From all the information I gathered, Doctor Rick and his team saved Zeus, but he went into a coma for over two years. When he awoke, he came looking for me naturally, but when he came, he saw I had moved on with my life. He knew that Aodhan was mine, but he felt it was wrong to intervene even if he wanted to know if Aodhan was his. When given information about Dimitri and Reign, he could no longer stand silent and watch in the shadows. He wanted to know, just like Reign and Dimitri. I couldn't blame them. If it were my decision, I wish they'd stayed out of my life forever. It was easier.
Now, I'm in a foreign land, negotiating my release with the people I care about. The only problem is that I want Zeus out of my life.
"What do you hope to accomplish?" I diverted, "Is it me? Are you still in love with me? I don't care about you, Zeus."
Zeus winced from the brutal slash of my words and sliced free from my thoughts.
"You think I could ever love you after what you did, too, Eric," I spat. "I don't even want to look at you. Being this close to you makes me sick-"
"You weren't saying that last night," he chuckled.
"Fuck you!" I sneered.
"You want me, admit it," he cockily smiled.
His arrogance and pompous attitude made me cringe, but he wasn't wrong. I may not care for him, but he was still the best sex of my life. The way my body was left weakened and limp from how many times I climaxed made it seem like it was all worth it... at the time.
"That doesn't mean I have to love you," I crudely sneered, seeing the flash of hurt across his handsome face.
"All you were ever good for was fucking," I lied, "I never cared."
Zeus started towards me, every step growing louder with intent. Intent to punish. It excited me. As I had suspected, he bent me over his knee, spanking me hard.
"Agh!" I moaned.
Every time his hot palm came across my butt made me writhe in pleasure. The radiating heat from where his habits would land made it more and more intense. Unable to escape and run away, he locked themself in his arms. What was wrong with me? Why did I enjoy this so much?
"Why!" Zeus struck with each word for punishment, "Must you upset me!"
"Mom?!" Aodhan's voice came from the doorway.
Within the blink of an eye, Zeus had me upright, blocking Aodhan from seeing me. I covered my face in horror, my cheeks flushing red.
"Did he see?" I whispered.
"No," Zeus pecked me on the forehead.
"Baby!" I beamed, rushing to pick him up, "What's the matter? Why do you look like you've been crying?"
"I don't like it here; I want to go home. It's so cold. There's white stuff outside and all over the windows! I miss Ariel! I want to go home!" Aodhan sobbed into my chest.
I held him close to me, choking back tears. Hearing the despair in his voice, one I'd never heard of before, made me hurt for my child. Quickly, that hurt turned to anger, and I glared at Zeus.
"Don't worry, baby, we won't be here long."
