Chapter 79Ares laid her gently on the bed, resisting the urge to just toss he in it and take her at once.He wanted this night to be unforgettable for her and himself too, he wanted to awaken every memory of their lovemaking that she might have forgotten.His lips found hers and he continued his sweet ministrationsSara could not help it, all she could be to moan his name and let him do whatever he asked and wanted to do to her.She felt a strong sense of nostalgia as his hands and lips roamed her body. It seemed so familiar, like she had been here before, with him.“Ares” she moaned his name when his kisses went even lower. She felt self-conscious instantly, not wanting him to see those hidden parts of her.“Please let me,” his voice came, pleading and soft.She eased her things away from each breast, giving him the access he needed, her dress was free, so it gave him even more access.He rolled down the length of her t bunching it just above her hips he took in her skin, his finge
Ivan woke up tired, turning to look at the clock, he gasped when he saw it read 10:45 he had not planned to sleep this late, and he had work.Jumping out of bed and scurrying into the bathroom, he did his usual morning rituals.Brushing his teeth hurriedly, and cleansing his mouth.He dashed into the shower, turning on the cold water and letting out a soft Yelp as the sprinkles fell on his naked skin.It was safe to say that was his most hurriedly taken shower in so long.As he stepped into the bedroom with a towel hanging loosely on his waist, he turned to his room and bumped into Artemis.“Good morning” she cooed“Good morning” he replied and walked to the dresser.“Sleep well?” She asked as she sashayed to him. “Why didn't you wake me up early?” He asked, ignoring her question.“You looked so peaceful when I left you, I did not have the heart to wake you up from that.” She said, her fingers on his shoulders.“When you left me?” Ivan asked confused.“Yes, is there a problem?” She a
Ares groaned as he turned to look at the owner of the little hand that wrapped itself around his torso.He rubbed at his eyes for a second and shook his head to clear his foggy brain before focusing his eyes on her again.“Sara” he whispered slowly to himself, recalling the event of the previous night.A wide smile stretched his lips and he ran his fingertips along the edges of her face.She looked, so peaceful, sleeping like a baby overdose and high on breast milk, he liked to see her like this, wanted to see her more like this.He hovered there for a few more minutes, admiring her beauty and innocence when her eyes opened to him.“You are staring,” she said simply “I cannot help myself, you are gorgeous” he gushed at her.“Good morning” she greeted, lowering her face into his chest to hide her blushing face. “Good morning, beautiful, I saw that blush,” Ares said chuckling.She hit his chest playfully, burying herself even deeper into the crook of his neck.They lay like that for s
It’s 6:30 am and the alarm rings loudlyVera slowly opened her eyes, it’s the dawn of a new dayShe gets up from her bed and bows her head to say her prayer.She walks into the bathroom to take her bath and gets ready for work, she’s seen staring at her reflection in the mirror, appropriately dressed in her pantsuit and a black Louis bag to match.She gets to the office at 7:48 a.m., finds a space in the parking lot, and soon, heads for the elevator to her office.A few minutes up the elevator to the 18th floor, she takes the left turn to her office.“Good morning ma’am” her assistant greeted meekly while walking alongside her “Good morning, you’ve got a different look on your face today,” she said as they Both walked, turning to smile at her Susan drops her bag and brings out the document containing the software program the investors would be coming in for in an hour.They both converse about the brief and documentation on the Newly developed program.“Are the designs ready and the
Eve dropped the phone and sighed, she mentally applauded herself and the genius, almost perfect acting skills.She sipped from her glass of champagne, of course, it was too early to drink, but hey, she did not make the rules, and she was not going to keep it either.Trotting lazily to get the laptop, she sat down in front of the table, setting her glass down and cracking her fingers ready to begin some work.Now that she was very sure of getting this money out of Ares, all she had to do was close this Jew deal and buy the software of the biggest developers, if they were ready to sell or do business, that is.She had sent her representative earlier to the meeting and was anticipating his return and advice.Typing away noisily, she created a new business plan and mapped out ways to either escape her debt or sort it out.This was hectic for her, she would rather just sit around or gallivant somewhere abroad than work.But she knew she needed this, she would not be young forever, and she
Chapter 84Ivan had avoided Artemis as much as he could for the entire day, she was up to no good that he knew for sure, but he was not quite certain what her true intentions were.As he swiveled in his chair lazily, he contemplated talking to Hermes about it but gave up the thought just as quickly as it came.He thought of reaching out to Vera, but he felt guilty about what happened with Artemis earlier, even though it was not his fault or his doing.He still felt like he had cheated on Vera in a way, he cared about her and had a feeling he could not quite place but it was so strong.Turning his attention back to his work, his eyes caught the unopened mail icon on his screen and he maneuvered the mouse, and opened it.The sect was having a meeting tonight, something important, it said.His mind went to every possible angle, but he could not seem to guess what it could be, he would find out later anyway, he thought, not wanting to stress his already worked-up brain.A knock on the doo
Chapter 85“Who is Eve?” The question kept ringing violently in his ear, and he searched his mind for a suitable answer to give, guarding his mind and aura, so she doesn't read it.Now that her powers were slowly coming back, he would have to do that a lot until the Evelyn saga was done.“Uhm, she's an old friend” Ares answered, the food suddenly too hard for him to swallow.He felt like puking just from the thoughts of him lying to her effortlessly like that.He needed to do better, he cautioned himself silently.“Oh, okay,” Sara answered without further questions.“Why did you ask?” He asked curiously.“I overheard you say her name,” she said simply.That did not answer his question or clear his suspicions.“And she is pregnant?” Sara asked.“Yes, you overheard that too?" He asked. “Yeah, I heard Eve and baby, that's all.” She said as she munched on a piece of great hungrily.“You have seen uneasy,” Sara observed, she could make out his features and, for some reason even beyond th
Chapter 86“No” Vera answered, looking away instantly.Catherine had a habit of reading her Like an open book and feared that if she glanced at her, even once, she would find out the truth.“No!” Catherine asked to be certain she heard right.“No, mother” Vera answered again, scooping more soup into her mouth.Praying that Catherine let the subject die, but her prayers were not going to be answered so easily.“Oh, so you guys just meet once in a while to satisfy sexual desires?” Catherine pried further.“Mother” Vera whined looking up at her with caution.“That is the only other logical reason I can think of,” Catherine said, shrugging non blatantly“Well don't even think about it then,” said, focusing on her food once again.“You know, I think he likes you a lot,” Catherine quipped, glancing at Vera from the side of her eye “That's rich coming from you,” Vera said, looking at Catherine in shock.“And he seems decent, too.” Catherine continued regardless.“You hated him, mother, what
