"He shot forward, clasping my cheeks. "Say it again." "Say what?" I replied, gripping his wrists. "I said a lot of things. Help me out here." "Say that I'm not just the Apollyon," he whispered, his voice harsh. Tears built in my throat. "You're not just the Apollyon, Seth." His eyes drifted shut, his face tensed as his fingers splayed across my cheeks. "I don't even know who I am anymore. Or what I ever was." Oh goodness, that ripped right through my chest. "You're just...you're just Seth." A tremor moved through his arms. "And you...you're just my salvation."

"I let out the breath I hadn't realized I was holding. "Guess what?" "What?" Meeting his amber-colored eyes, I admitted what probably wasn't a secret, but what I felt like I needed to put into words. "I like you, Seth." He stopped his hand over mine, staying there, as he gave me a lopsided smile. "Guess what?" "What?" I whispered. Seth shifted so that his lips brushed mine as he spoke. "I like you too, Josie."

"He seemed to be staring at the chain hanging from the ceiling fan. Seconds later, he confirmed this by reaching out and tugging the chain. Light clicked on. He tugged the chain again. Light went off. Oh for gods' sake, he had a mean case of ADD sometimes. "Apollo," I snapped."

"Pulling my hand away, he rose, slanting his head to kiss me deeply as he pushed me onto my back, with his weight draped over me. "I've never had anything that was my own," he said against my mouth. "Nothing that was ever for just me and no one else. I've never been anyone's first." He kissed me and then lifted his head. I stared into his eyes. "I've never been anyone's only." That made my heart ache for him as I raised my hand, pressing my palm against his cheek. "You're my first," I whispered. "You're...you're my only." His lips parted. "You can't say that and not mean it." I held his gaze as my chest swelled. "I mean it." He smoothed his thumb over my lip. "I really am a lucky son of a bitch." --

"You're a demigod," he said hoarsely. It was the first thing he said. "Yeah," I replied, my voice breathy. "Is that...um, okay with you?" His gaze flicked up to mine, and he arched a brow. "Do I need to kiss you again?" My lips twitched. "Maybe."

"Josie tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear as she glanced up the hall. "You ready?" I nodded and we started down the hall and we made it halfway before I did something totally cheesy. I reached between us, found her hand without looking, and threaded my fingers through her. She looked up, surprise flickering over her expression, but then she smiled, and yeah, that smile was worth it."

"You're...you're mentally unstable." "I wish I were. It would make things so much more fun. Sadly, I'm not. At least, not yet."

Does love survive? Yes, I thought, somewhere in some place it is saved and made sacred.
