Zeta absolutely seduces Athenia, but his most powerful method is restraint.
One evening, he turns their Constellation Game back upon her. He asks Athenia to close her eyes, then stands behind her without touching her. He describes—in a low voice—every place he intends to kiss, pausing long enough for her imagination to create each sensation before his lips ever reach her skin.
When he finally brushes one slow kiss against the back of her neck, she whispers, “You’re enjoying this far too much.”
Zeta smiles against her hair. “No, beloved. I’m enjoying how much you are.”
His seduction works because he understands that Athenia’s imagination is the most sensitive part of her body.
Zeta’s quiet seduction of Athenia—one lingering kiss, warm candlelight, and the Puerto Rican moon above Arecibo.
