Chapter 18

|| Savannah's POV ||

I was lost..!

The intensity of his voice carried when he asked for my permission had taken all my senses away. I could no longer think straight. His hooded eyes pinned me, making my body feel like a puppet who was controlled by a surge of unknown emotions.

I nodded my head without thinking twice. When his lips met mine, I felt a current of electrifying sensation coursing through my body. I had no turning from this man. It was more like he was calming my soul.

Ares started kissing me with a light smooch. He pushed his tongue inside my mouth, forcing me to pry open my lips. What started as a playful date was now awakening my emotions in several ways. His touch broke me and made me so vulnerable that I had the feeling of melting into his arms.

His lips moved on mine in a slow and steady rhythm. He was so professional in kissing that he could taste my lips in one single touch. That's where it made me feel more intoxicated with him. He traced my lips like precious candy.

That smooch turned eager and passionate afterward. His kiss turned rough and wild in my state of bizarre emotions. He sucked my lips like there was no end. I gasped, opening for him, and reached out to grab onto his shoulders subconsciously.

My enthusiasm only ignited the fire inside him. He smiled against my lips, dragging me in closer in one swift motion until my legs were parted open around his waist. Our position was awkward but I was too lost to notice our condition.

Ares snaked his arm under my clothes, tracing and caressing my waist as he kept diverting my attention with his hot kiss. He kissed my lips repeatedly until I began to drip wet down there.

His touch felt so sinfully good that I couldn't push him away despite my judgmental mind telling me repeatedly to push him off. My thighs jangled against his waist numbly, feeling the heat of skin emitting from his body. I guess, it wasn't only me who felt this sexual tension. It was also he who kept anticipating more like me.

We burnt for each other. I felt like a soft cushion under his caged arms. After a while of intense and shocking kissing sessions, we parted our lips away reluctantly. Our breathing came out short and unsteady as he locked our eyes with an innocent smile.

We both were panting to catch our breath. Ares used his thumb to push my curls away, sticking on my forehead. He gave me his sexiest smile as he licked the corner of his lips, smiling like an idiot. He didn't let go of me, instead pulled closer until our bodies shared proximity.

I gasped, failing to catch up with this sudden intimacy. He muttered into my mouth, breathing hard through his nose,

" Looks like we are never going to follow our rules, Princess."

It was early in the morning when I arrived at Sunblock's building the following day. It wasn't because I had a habit of spending my time in the library, buried under those piles of books. Things became awkward after I allowed Ares to kiss me last night. I loathed myself more to think that I permitted him to do that even though I knew, we were fucking in a dating game. We both had a common enemy which was Finn. But darn!

I fell for his seduction game!

I rubbed my forehead uneasily, flipping through the pages absentmindedly until a smack awakened my thoughts back to reality. Snapping my head aside, I saw Aria standing right next to me with a toothy smile. She seemed extremely happy for some reason. Aria scowled folding her arms over her chest,

" What? I was calling you for a long distance yet you were the one who didn't even hear a bit. I mean, where are you lost, dude? Oh my gosh! Is my brother fucking so hard that you have lost your rational brain?"

Only Aria could be this straightforward and funny at the same time. I smacked her back, rolling my eyes to close the book sighing,

" Gosh! Do you think that I will let your brother take advantage of me so easily? Anyways, you weren't home last night. Had a date?"

Aria immediately turned flustered more which was unexpected. She had always been more mature than all of us. Hence, watching her blush like a teenager surprised me. I smiled down at her awkwardly, trying to see past her response,

" What??"

She appeared a bit awkward but laughed out loud, trying to sound casual,

" Just a random hangout with Lucas."

Her cheeks reddened further as I glanced over at her, suspiciously taking a better look at my best friend. I had no issues with if she dated Lucas or not but I was a bit scared of her emotions as certainly I didn't want her to be used just like me. My gaze randomly traced her feature, sliding down to her throat until a nearly faded mark caught my attention.

Fuck! Was it hickey?

I wanted to ask but somehow, it didn't feel okay with the situation. No matter how close our friendship was, intimacy was a private part of a girl's life. I didn't want to be a detective in her love life.

Did they have sex?

Multiple thoughts crossed my mind but I bit my lips together tightly. I was already dating the official playboy of Rainbow hence who on earth was I to tell her that she shouldn't have given herself to someone whom she had known barely?

As the bell rang off suddenly, we both paced for our classrooms. Even though I had fended myself with numerous logic, I couldn't stop myself from giving her a piece of advice that might feel wrong to her,

" Look, Aria! I mean, I am happy for you if you think that Lucas is the right for you. But you have to understand that having sex requires a lot of responsibilities and faith. I.. just want you to be extra careful. You know, I met a jerk."

Aria's face slightly lost color after my words. Fortunately, she didn't seem unhappy as she assured me with a wide smile,

" Don't worry, Sav. I know everything well!"

|| Ares's POV ||

I was having a fantastic day at my Tuesday practice time. First, above all, my princess let me her last night and admired my responsibility towards my family so much. I heeded over on heels to hear such sweet, cajoling words from her mouth. She sounded freaking adorable.

The whistle from our coach interrupted my blissful thoughts. I looked over at our teammates, halting in their position as our time was off for this afternoon. Kevin marched over to me with his hand gripping the water bottle. He smiled down at me cheekily, pointing at something with his chin,

" You sure have great luck, man. Look, who is here?"

I instantly had a bad feeling as I followed his eyes, finding another shame of mine.

Brittany Howard!

She smiled back at me widely as if I had looked there for her. Brittany was the nagging niece of the coach. We met last year during a match and later flirted with each other like fuck. She was hot, too absorbed in cosmetics but fuck..she was too clingy to be appreciated. That flirting went wrong and we ended up having sex in one of our staffed rooms.

Before I had the chance to run away, Brittany began to walk over me. I cursed eternally as Kevin chuckled, leaving my side to avoid this crazy bitch. I stood at my place grounded. If I tried to walk away, I was sure that she would follow me everywhere, even in the toilet because she kept nagging for something that she wants. Spending a good amount of time with her gave me a clear realization of her character.

" Hi Ares!", Brittany greeted as she walked over and hugged me dearly as if we were friends for years.

I squeezed past her a smile without hugging back though she didn't mind,

" Hi..Hi... You are here suddenly?"

Brittany gave me her toothy smile as she grinned widely, looking over to see my other mates,

" Well, yes. I have come for a long vacation this time. You know, Uncle loves to see me here the most. Why? Aren't you happy to see me here? I am hurt, Ares. You didn't even greet me back."

She puffed her cheeks unnecessarily, staring up into my eyes as if we had some kind of serious relationship existed between us. I tried to sound natural as I replied with a fake lie,

" Yeah, of course. I mean, welcome back."

She smiled back widely even though half of the words hinted that I was just being polite. Honestly, I didn't wish to do anything with her now. It was already a hard play to convince Savannah in our planned dating game. Now, Brittany's presence could be more offensive to Savannah since she didn't like me in the past for flirting and fooling with so many girls.

I turned around, faking my emergency as I attempted to walk away,

" Well, if you don't find it, I have an emergency today, Brittany. See you the other day!"

As expected, she stopped me, grabbing my forearms from my back without hesitation. I was forced to halt in my track, disgusted by her touch. I wished to jerk it off but it would be too rude. We promised to forget about that one-night stand after that day because I didn't feel anything emotional with her. Not even a thousand times sex could awaken my emotional feelings for her.

I looked back at her, knitting my brows together. She licked her lips dryly and scooted closer until we were standing only in few inches apart. Her voice lowered when she spoke to me,

" Hey, Ares. My father has just brought a firm house in this town. Want to go and explore with me? I am sure that you won't regret it."

She salivated her lips one more time. It didn't take a while for me to understand what she was referring to exactly. She was indirectly hinting at another one-night stand but fuck, I wasn't interested in her pussy. Though Savannah and I weren't dating seriously, responsibility swirled within me. I didn't want to embarrass my princess in front of others.

I refused, leaving her arms timidly,

" I have no time, Brittany."

I intended to walk away but soon, her words hit from back, forcing me to stop in my track again,

" Is it because of the girl that you are dating you? Oh, come on, Ares. Someone hot like you deserve more than one girl."
