章 52: What's Ifs, So what, and Swoon Worthy Mates

"-and put this down. Earth to Sera?" Azar snapped her fingers in front of my face and brought me out of my thoughts. 

"Yeah?" I asked, dumbfounded.

She sighed as she slapped her palm on her face.

"So you haven't listened to a single word?" She waved her arms around in the air, exasperated.

"Sorry, just got a lot going on in my mind." I smiled apologetically as I tucked my arm in hers before proceeding to tickle her sides, making her laugh. 

"So what's keeping you so busy on a day like this?" she asked as we walked towards the temple.

Flashes of last night, where I went rabid over Ares' muscles, filled my mind and I instantly craved to feel them again. My cheeks heat up at the remembrance. Scratch that- my whole body lit up in flames. 

I swear I am not like this. I just have lost my mind momentarily. Ugh, it's all Ares' fault. 

"Nothing. Just- I feel nervous thinking about the ritual." I changed the topic, but that was true as well.
