Ares' povSexy.Fierce.Daring.Smart.Those were the few words to describe Tabitha. For someone as small as she was, she sure had a lot to say and she didn't mind saying them.Her firm grip on the sword, her unwavering stance and the way she effortlessly stroke the sword in the air was hypnotizing and only made me realize there was still a lot to know about the interesting woman.I had barely scratched the surface.She moved with such grace that only years of swordsmanship could bring, making me wonder where she learnt that from.I was just about to commend her skills but as soon as her captivating eyes landed on me, I knew I had to address a more important issue.I hadn't realized how into my skin she had gotten until I didn't see her at breakfast and the food tasted bland in my mouth, making me leave it, barely eating anything.I tried to shake it off but after a few hours of staring at my laptop screen and reading a line over and over again without comprehending, I knew there was t
Ares' povWith fury rolling out of her in waves, she glared at me one more time to punctuate her words before stomping out.“What the fuck was I thinking?” I muttered to myself and ran a finger through my hair.My first instinct was to pull her back and kiss her plump luscious lips while muttering apologies but I shoved my hands into my pockets and watched her leave instead.Watching her leave was good.I wasn't supposed to be having those thoughts about her and apologizing wasn't my strongest fort. In fact, I never apologized to anyone but I found myself wanting to do that for her.“Goddamit! Why can't things be simple with this girl?” I groaned.“Alpha Ares, do…do you need anything?” One of the maids asked, standing a very good distance from me.I scoffed inwardly before doing a U-turn and marching back to my study, secretly hoping I would catch her eye but my luck ran out there.Just before I got to the last stairs, something clicked in my mind and I turned to see the maid still st
“What?” I spat and all the smile disappeared from my face.He sat there staring at me emotionlessly.Why was it always this way?And for a moment, I already had my head in the clouds, thinking he would let me go with him and now this.How on earth was I supposed to do that?In five hours?Has he seen this house?!Under his supervision my foot.“Ares….”His eyes darkened and a low growl vibrated through his chest but something told me it wasn't a warning growl. Anyway, I corrected myself.“I mean Alpha Ares, how am I supposed to do that?” I asked with bewilderment.His eyes returned to normal but something flashed through them before disappearing again.“With your hands,” he said and I held back an eye roll at his obvious response.“I mean….”“That's my only condition. If you can't do it, then I'm sorry you can't go,” he said with a shrug.I bit the inside of my cheeks.He hated me and my guts, I get it.But asking me to clean the whole mansion alone and in five hours too was just down
A shadow loomed over me as I stirred in my sleep. I slowly opened my eyes and almost lept out of my skin when I saw that I wasn't dreaming and someone was actually standing over me.“What the fuck?” I whisper-yelled as I covered the comforter over my pajamas-clad body. “Get up,” he said nonchalantly.“It's not even 4 am,” I groaned, wanting nothing more than to sink deeper into my mattress and going back to sleep.I could barely see his face with the dim light of the lamp above my bedstand but the pointed look on his face stood out in the dark as he glanced between me and the alarm clock.3:58.“You've got to be kidding me,” I muttered under my breath.“You have two minutes to meet me outside,” he said coldly and left in three long strides without waiting for my response.Someone remind me why I agreed to this in the first place.I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying to quell the headache that was beginning to form on that spot before sighing deeply and standing up from the bed.I
I couldn't move.It felt like a magnet was pulling me closer to him and before I knew it, we were breathing the same air. Literally.Maybe I didn't want to move.He looked even more charming up close. His blue eyes had flecks of grey which I hadn't noticed before and I just realized how spotless his skin was.His minty breath fanned my face and time seemed to stop as he stared at me, switching between my eyes and my lips.I could almost see the wheels turning in his head as he weighed between what was right and wrong and in less than a second, he made his choice and leaned even closer.But just before our lips could touch, I moved to the side, placing my lips a few centimeters from his ear.He had made his choice but I hadn't made mine.“You don't affect me,” I said, even though the slight tremble in my voice betrayed me because being this close to him and inhaling his sweet musky scent made my brain fuzzy.I pulled away and he had a dark look in his eyes and his Adam's apple bobbed.
I watched as their tongues lapped against each other and I felt like hunching over and emptying all the food I had eaten this morning, which was literally nothing.The sight of them kissing with her moaning into his mouth irritated me to no end but more than that, I felt a slight burning sensation in my chest but I kept a straight face.They exchanged saliva for about two minutes before he pulled away and looked me dead in the eyes.“Aww, Alpha, I missed you too,” Karla purred breathlessly and traced circles around his biceps. “Maybe we could take things further after breakfast?” She asked, batting her faux-lashes.He made a non-committal sound at the back of his throat before tearing his gaze away from me and turning back to his food.The fact that whatever they were displaying was affecting me so much made me even angrier than any kiss they would ever share.I wasn't supposed to be feeling this way.My heart, body and soul belonged to only one person so I wasn't supposed to care wha
“We're not done talking!” I said, no longer caring about whatever repercussions it would bring if my words hurt his ego.He had to accept my rejection and he had to do it now!He walked closer to me and I stayed rooted in my spot.“Such fire,” he said huskily and traced a finger along my cheeks and chin and I gulped but his hand soon came around my neck and he grabbed a fistful of my hair, tugging roughly.Instead of feeling pain, sparks shot throughout my body and I bit the insides on my cheeks to stifle a moan.What was this man doing to me?“You know what amuses me about you?” He asked, his breath fanning my face. “Your audacity,” he added and shook his head.I kept my eyes fixed on his even though scalp pricked with burning pleasure.“You don't care that I could bare your ass over that bench and fuck you so hard till there's no bit of sarcasm or disrespect left in you,” he said coldly and it took everything in me to hold back my moan.His dirty words did wicked things to me that I
Morning rolled in really quickly and I stirred in the bed for a few seconds before sitting up and stretching.For some reason, there was a smile on my face and I felt giddy inside but I quickly pinned the morning happiness to the fact that I was going to see Jason and my family today and not attribute it to what had gone down in the shower yesterday.I cringed at the memory of moaning Ares' name.That was just in the spur of the moment and a one-off.It wasn't like I wanted to have sex with him or something.I definitely wanted…. didn't want to.I belonged to nobody else but Jason and I was going to see him today and hopefully have time to talk.With that thought in mind, I quickly crawled out of bed and walked to my wardrobe.A frown covered my face as soon as I pulled the wardrobe open and was faced with black skirt, white shirt and black stockings.I cringed at the wardrobe that contained only maids outfit because it was a stark contrast to my luxurious walk-in closet back at home.
