5. Aries saved Cara

At Grayson Group,

“You’re fired!” Aries threw the file on his mahogany desk. “Collect this shit and get lost!” He growled, and the employee muttered sorry in a barely audible voice on his way out, Simon, who happened to hear their conversation on his way inside.

“What’s wrong with you today? That’s the tenth employee you’ve fired!” He said while Aries took a sip of coffee.

A deep frown appeared on his face. “Who made this coffee? Fire him as well!”

“Are you alright?”

“Yes! Why do you ask?” He glared at him, and Simon sighed, keeping the files on the desk.

“These are the files you asked for,” he said, and Aries opened the first file while Simon waited, standing beside him for his instructions.

Aries read the file and closed it. “I think I need a break!” He said, shifting in his seat.

“Break or a good fuck?” Simon lifted an eyebrow and Aries glared at him.

“You may be my friend outside these premises, but here I’m your boss. Don’t take undue advantage and shut your mouth.” He said and stood up to leave.

“The only employee of this premises who can’t be fired!” Simon had an amused smile on his face, and Aries’s cold eyes glared at him. “That look doesn’t work on me. Your grandma will kill you if she finds you’ve fired me.”

“Now tell me, what’s wrong with you? Why are you so determined to slash our manpower in half today?” Simon asked and Aries finally opened up with him, as keeping it inside of him was giving him a headache.

“I kissed someone last night,” he said.

Simon knitted his eyebrows, as the revelation wasn’t something new. A few times, he too witnessed Aries’s make-out sessions with his ex-girlfriends and soon-to-be ex-girlfriend, Sasha Lewis. “As long as you didn’t kiss any guy. I guess it’s fine.” He smirked.

“It’s a big mistake sharing something with you.” Aries took his coat and stormed out of his office.

In the evening,

Aries entertained his Russian clients at the finest restaurant Sasha interrupted him with many calls, but he kept on rejecting them and finally sent a message. “We’ll talk later! Don’t disturb me.”

He glanced up and his eyes met with Alyona, the daughter of his Russian investor, who was throwing flirty glances in his direction. The look on her face was just enough for Aries to understand what was coming next for him, and he intended to make the most of it.

Simon, the financial advisor of the Grayson Group and Aries’s friend, smirked, watching them stealing glances at each other while all Aries could think of was the hazel eyes he saw in the flash of light that night.

“Mr. Grayson, thank you for the lovely dinner!” The Russian investor said.

Aries smiled. “Pleasure is all mine.”

“I was wondering, will you not show us the nightlife of your city?” Alyona raised an eyebrow.

“Of course,” Aries smirked. His eyes moved to her father. “Would you like to join us?”

“Oh, no! The old man needs some rest now,” He laughed. “But you guys enjoy!” He said, wiping his mouth with a napkin, rising from his seat to leave. “I’ll see you at the hotel,” he said to his daughter and briefly smiled at Aries before leaving.

“Okay, I’ll take my leave. See you in the office tomorrow.” Simon said. “Have fun!” He winked at Aries before leaving.

“Let’s go!” Aries takes Alyona’s hand, and they leave for the club.

At the Club,

Cara stepped out wearing a crisp, white shirt that contrasted with her black mid-thigh skirt. She coated her face with layers of makeup, making her lips stand out in a bold, cherry-red shade. Her dark blonde hair was up in a high ponytail, and Kohl was highlighting her hazel eyes.

The manager cast his eyes up and down upon her, and Cara felt anxious under his penetrating stare. “Open the first two buttons of your shirt. Our waitresses need to look hot and desirable.”

“Oh... okay,” Cara undid the first two buttons, and the manager departed. Lydia, a brunette, emerged and guided Cara about her responsibilities.

“Serve drinks to the guests. It’s an easy-breezy job!” Lydia said. “But be careful, sometimes drunk men try to get nasty. If you have a good time, that’s fine. However, if you don’t, just stay put!”

Cara nodded her head in understanding. “They are from the elite class and they can make your life hell in a blink of an eye. You know how to deal with them, right?” Lydia asked, but before Cara could answer, the manager called Lydia and the latter gave her a tray full of drinks to serve before disappearing into the crowd.

Cara nervously bit her lips as she carried the drinks to the table. The group of men clinked their glasses together and shouted in excitement.

Unconscious of the intrusive glance of one of the guys whose eyes were scrutinizing her every curve, Cara garnered the empty glasses.

Standing next to him, his girlfriend noticed everything and, out of rage, she pushed Cara. “Fuck off, bitch!” she sneered.

The tray slipped from Cara’s hand as she tripped on her high-pointed heels. She was about to hit the floor when a hand held her wrist, saving the tray, and his other hand snaked around her waist, saving her from falling hard on the floor.

Cara’s grip reflexively tightened around the man’s shoulder and her eyes met with piercing grey eyes.

Aries stared at her. The strange face seemed to inspire a sense of recognition, yet he couldn’t name it. Cara’s heart raced inside her chest as she continued to gaze at him, and it took her a few moments to compose herself. “Are you alright?”

Aries helped her stand upright, and she felt the weight of the tray in her hand. Cara’s words of gratitude were on the tip of her tongue when Aries and Alyona vanished into the bustling crowd, leaving her with no opportunity to thank him.

“Cara,” the manager appeared. “Get behind the counter and help Jasper!”

“But I don’t know how to make drinks!”

“Just follow whatever he says!” The manager quickly strolled away, and Cara rushed to the bar counter to assist Jasper, the bartender.

Jasper grinned. “Welcome to my kingdom!” He showcased the glasses and expensive drinks to her and the latter giggled.

Cara diligently did everything Jasper asked her, and the latter was impressed with her calm and composed attitude, unlike the other haughty waitresses.

She attended to the guests at the bar counter. Her eyes looked for Aries in the crowd and she hoped to see him again.

~ARIES~

The moment Alyona stepped into my company with her father, her beauty transfixed me, but I wanted her to make the first move. Why should men always make a move? Shouldn’t they be in charge of their needs sometimes?

I raised Alyona’s hand and spun her, pulling her back to me. I placed my hands on her hips to feel them move as she danced along with the song. She looked over her shoulder at me through her smoky eyes and smirked.

My hands tightened on her hips. She put her head on the crook of my shoulder, raising her arms above her slightly, and rolled her hips into me as I thrust forward against her ass cheek.

I bit back a groan as she swept her long hair to one side, baring a shoulder and a part of her neck to me. She grabbed my hand and slid them across the silky fabric covering her stomach, stopping just below her tits.

I leaned in and nibbled her exposed shoulder before kissing my way up to her neck and I felt her moaning against my lips. Her hips pushed back against me, her hands coming up again to wrap around my shoulder.

My other hand slid down past her hips, and trailed to her thigh, teasing the hem of the dress and slowly slipping under to caress her skin. She turned her head and caught my lips in a passionate kiss that left me stunned for a moment.

I cupped her chin and deepened the kiss. “Let’s get out of here!” I whispered in her ear, thrusting forward to let her feel how thirsty my dick was for her. I clasped her wrist and made my way out of the crowd. Maybe fucking the other hazel eyes will remove the memories of those hazel eyes I tried to find.

Cara finally caught sight of Aries as he strolled towards the exit. She moved away from the bar counter to chase him when Lydia stopped her and gave her a tray full of drinks that needed to be served. Just as she disappeared into the crowd to serve the drinks, Keith appeared at the entrance of the club.

His eyes cast over the boisterous crowd on the dance floor in search of his girlfriend, Natalie. He advanced further in, extracting his phone from his jacket and dialing her, but the latter didn’t pick up any of his calls. “Come on, Natalie!” He groaned.

Keith made his way to the bar. Tired as hell after a long day at work, he ordered a drink for himself, massaging his temples as the booming sound increased his headache.

Cara came into view behind the bar counter and let out a sigh, setting the tray down, when she heard a male voice. “Scotch on the rocks, please!” Keith spoke up, and Cara directed her attention to him.

“You!” Keith squinted his eyes, staring at Cara. “What are you doing here? You got the job, right?” He asked and as she opened her mouth to answer, Keith saw Natalie’s reflection in the mirror behind Cara.

“Just a minute!” He said to Cara. He turned to look for her, but Natalie was nowhere in sight. He slid off the tall bar stool, and Cara watched silently as he walked away.

Keith scoured the dance floor, searching every corner until his eyes fell on Natalie, causing a surreal smile to spread across his face. But the next moment, he saw a tattooed guy pinning her against the wall near the staircase and kissing her.

Aries laced his fingers with Alyona’s, and they sauntered out of the elevator and into his lavish suite. As soon as they were in, Alyona planted a kiss on his lips, pushing him against the door, her fingers eagerly opening the buttons of his shirt.

Aries smiled slyly. He didn’t attempt to touch her or stop her. She kissed her way down his bare chest, but his lack of response frustrated her.

“Are you submissive?” She chuckled, wrapping her arms around his shoulder while Aries kept his hands in his pocket.

“Only when I know the woman can’t handle my dominance!” He smirked, lifting an eyebrow. His eyes traveled from her face to her tits.

Alyona reacted in surprise and took a step back. She leaned against the rough wooden table and fixed her gaze on Aries. “How would you know if you won’t try? Maybe I am more than you can imagine?” She challenged, looking into his piercing grey eyes, and opened the zipper of her dress, stepping out of it.

Now she was standing before him in a black lacy bra and panties and Aries scratched his eyebrow, giving a charming smile. He took a step forward in her direction, his fingers playing with the straps of her bra. “I hope you don’t complain to your daddy tomorrow!” He whispered into her ear.

Aries pushed Alyona back on the long wooden table and pressed his body against hers. His thumb came to rest on her lips and when his gaze locked with Alyona’s hazel eyes, his movement stopped.

Alyona felt his hesitation in the air as she saw uncertainty swimming in his eyes. “Are you in a committed relationship? Is that what is stopping you?”

Aries wet his lips, the memory of the kiss he shared with a stranger in the dark alley still lingering on his mind, the kiss that left a tingling sensation on his lips, a sensation he sought to recreate with Sasha and Alyona but failed.

His lack of control infuriated him. “I don’t do relationships!” He left her and headed to the minibar, pouring himself a glass of scotch.

Alyona remained in her place and watched him when they heard a loud noise coming from the door. Aries grew increasingly irritated. He made a long stride and pulled open the door, only to see Sasha outside in a rage.

His appearance elicited a gasp of amazement from her as her eyes widened. She could see the faint lipstick mark on the corner of his mouth as he stood there shirtless, sipping his glass of scotch. “Are- are you with someone right now?”

Aries opened the door wide enough for her to see Alyona behind him. “How could you?” She let out a loud shriek, while Aries kept a stoic expression. “You’re in a fucking relationship with me!”

“Arrangement!” He corrected her.

“Whatever! I was faithful to you.” Her expression was pained, but Aries was astute enough to discern between honest and feigned expressions.

“I didn’t ask you to be!” he said. “We had an arrangement, not a commitment. You were exploiting my reputation while I was making use of your body, so drop the act!”

“You’re heartless!” Sasha glared at him.

Aries grinned wickedly. “Thanks for the compliment!” He said and closed the door in her face.

Alyona sat cross-legged on the table, her feet dangling over the edge, exposing her long legs. She parted her hair on one shoulder and watched Aries with her intense gaze as he walked over to her. “You’re a complicated man!”

Aries smiled while taking a sip of his drink, “I hope you’re not planning to get tangled in!”

“I don’t do relationships either!” Her slender fingers traveled down his bare chest, stopping at his belt, and she pulled him closer. “Just a night of fun is enough! Shall we continue where we left off?” She bit her lips seductively.

Aries finished his drink and put the empty glass on the counter. His hand pulled her hair back, staring into her hazel eyes, and took her mouth in a passionate kiss. Alyona hooked her legs around his waist and she could feel the heat radiating from his body.

Unclasping her bra and throwing it away, he massaged her full breast, feeling her nipple growing hard under his touch, and he took one pebbled nipple into his mouth while his hand roughly played with the other one.

Alyona moaned, pushing his head more into her chest. She was growing impatient with each passing minute. His touch and tongue were doing something to her, and Aries could tell she was ready to beg and scream all night.

His hand skillfully moved down to grope her hips and rip off her panties. “I won’t settle for anything less than hard and fast!”

Aries took out a condom from his wallet and rolled it over his penis, positioned himself. The head of his cock parted her folds. He looked into her hazel eyes, recalling the kiss in the dark alley.

The beast inside him unleashed, “Maybe you’ll be out of my mind after tonight!” He slammed into her while Alyona scratched his back, screaming his name. Her pussy squeezed his cock, eager to take all of it in, and she throbbed with the need for release.

“Oh, Aries! Fuck me!” She moaned. “Fuck me, harder!” He picked up the pace and, as she was close to her release, he pulled his cock out.

Aries turned her face down on the table, her breast pushed against the surface and he penetrated deep into her from behind. “Your wish is my command tonight!” He rammed into her, holding her hands behind her back.
