“Are you all right?” Apolo asks as soon as I appear at his side again. “You’re all red.” I try hard to fake a slight smile as I sit down. “I’m fine. I’m just a little hot.” Apolo’s eyebrows furrow, almost touching. “You saw something unpleasant, didn’t you?” No, actually, I just left your brother with an erection the size of the Eiffel Tower.

I hate being disturbed when I sleep. It’s one of the few things I can’t stand. Normally, I’m a quiet, peaceful person, but if you wake me up, you’ll see my darker side.
