Thanatos: The White Dawn

(34)Overcast White Clouds

'Has life gotten the best of you?'

Overcast White Clouds

"Well, well, well..." Trita's loud voice echoed through the sunny lounge as her hand hovered over a stack of freshly made pancakes. "Late night?"

I shot her a look to shut her up, but it seemingly only fuelled her on. "Please, grace us with your presence..."

My arm was latched onto Thanatos' and I was moving very slowly towards the breakfast table where everyone sat, waiting for us to arrive. I could barely walk. My legs were still numb, as if no blood had had any time to move downwards before sun-up. The pain between my thighs was immense, but undeniably memorable in the best possible way.

Thanatos certainly made sure that my every need was filled; to the point where it couldn't anymore.

"Good morning." The bright smile on his face covered his exhaustion that was stacked up from five weeks of no sleep. Not like last night offered any relief either; and not that he minded at all.

Hypnos was sipping at his black coffee while pulling a mug closer for his twin. He placed his cup down revealing a knowing smirk; "Clearly..."

I felt my blush explode onto my face. I just hope they don't notice the fact that I can't walk properly. It wouldn't be too hard to explain why and that's precisely the reason why I'd die of humiliation.

Barrios passed Sonya the plate of butter and nodded his head up at his superior; "Sleep well?"

Everyone in the room, except for Barrios who was genuinely curious as to his master's health, snickered softly into their plates and cups. I rolled my eyes, but Thanatos didn't bother hiding the facts; "Not even slightly." And he looked sincerely giddy with delight at the thought.

Carefully, Thanatos placed me down onto the chair and pushed it in for me. He took his seat in between me and Hypnos, who sat at the head of the table. Trita sat next to him, her eyes constantly trying to sneak a glance at the lighter-haired twin.

I smiled at Sonya as the brothers, Trita and Barrios started catching up; their voices loud and excited. "How did you sleep?"

Sonya blushed; "Well..." She cleared her throat and checked to see if Barrios was looking, but he was too busy laughing at Thanatos describing what Sybaris' terrified face had looked like. "I slept with him."

"What?" I whispered fiercely, my eyes widening, but Sonya was quick to hush me. "No! No, not like that! We just slept in the same bed. Nothing like that happened..."

I nodded; "Oh, sorry, I just assumed-"

"No, no..." Sonya laughed nervously; "Not yet. I don't think. I still want to know more about him and this whole reaper thing. And our future together before... that."

"That's a wise decision." I nodded and gave her hand a reassuring squeeze. Sonya smiled back with warmth. "So what did happen, if not that?" I asked with a raised brow and a wide grin.
