Chapter 180. Yeah right

June POV

After making Hermes come undone in my hands and mouth, we slid down to the tiled floor together, backs against the fogged shower glass. My pulse was still thrumming, his breath still uneven. My head rested on his shoulder as he absentmindedly caressed my arm, his fingers warm, slow, almost… tender.

I exhaled softly, letting the quiet settle.

“You’re remembering things, Hermes.”

I smiled to myself. “I’m glad.”

He turned his head toward me, eyes narrowing like he was trying to puzzle out the full picture.

“You started this, right?” he asked. “I refused at first but—”

I lifted my head from his shoulder, cutting gently in.

“Yes. I did. And you agreed.”

A small laugh escaped me. “I was so excited back then.”

Hermes let out a low chuckle — smug, irresistible, and absolutely on brand.

“I know I have that effect on people.”

He shrugged, running a hand through his damp hair like he deserved applause.
