Chapter 21

Ares growled laughing awkwardly. I looked into his eyes and felt a thousand emotions overwhelming me. Even his smile didn't match his eyes and pure hurt reflected into his eyes, aching my heart deeply. Then all of sudden, he turned his head on my way, closing the space between us until his alcohol-mixing breath fanned my cheeks,

" What about you?"

He questioned and I felt my throat getting dry. I blurted back, knowing that it was a pure lie for me,

" What.. what do you mean?"

He licked the corner of his lips with a smirk before telling me again,

" Were you worried too?"

I found myself mentally hypnotized under his watchful eyes. Averting my eyes from him, I shook my head, refusing to show any concern,

" No..No..why should I? You..you aren't my boyfriend for real.."

Ares laughed licking his lips again as he leaned back on the couch,

" Lies!"

I felt the need to quit this discussion. Clearing my throat again, I pushed my eyes up to question him,

" Are you not happy, Ares?"

He questioned back, arching his head back at me,

" Do I look like that?"

I nodded honestly and heard him sigh heavily. He ran his fingers through his dark curls before replying truthfully,

" I am not, Princess. Jk...I thought of them as my family... Finn is a lucky ass."

He laughed dryly and I dropped my head down, guilt taking over my sanity. I murmured feeling sorry for everything,

" I...I am sorry.."

" Don't be!", Ares cut me off sharply. He continued rubbing his neck in a serious tone,

" Finn was always my enemy. Nothing changed it. Not even your existence in my life!"

I nodded heavily but the burden didn't leave my heart. We shouldn't have made this repulsive decision of pretending to be a couple. Was it too late to go back?

Exhaling, I proposed thinking about Aria who wasn't getting any sleep for her brother possibly,

" Let's take you back home, Ares. Aria is worrying for you."

Ares shook his head denying and muttered back sadly,

" I don't want to make her sad, Princess. She will figure out that I am not happy about this decision. Let's stay here tonight. I booked a room upstairs."

Hesitation conquered my soul but taking into consideration of Ares and his bad mood, I agreed later on and helped him to get upstairs, leaving the noises behind.

A freshly oversized room welcomed us once Ares guided us upstairs. Although it was looking nothing less than a five-star motel room, it was highly risky to share the same room with Playboy, Ares. But soon the scenario changed as soon as Ares entered the room and ran for the bathroom with me, following him closely.

There he was!

He threw up badly. I smelt vomit in the air but felt the need to stay beside him. It was feeling like a mom patting her children. I laughed mentally at the thought and Ares splashed cold water on his face. Watching around, I saw a fresh towel and offered him in cleaning as he looked like a mess in this state. I bet that he felt a lot of clear-headed after this. He needed this throw-up to clear his mind. When he looked up into my eyes, a tender smile formed on his lips.

" What?", I blurted, playing with my sneakers down. His eyes shone with happiness and I didn't quite understand what was the damn reason behind it but jeez, he looked fucking hot in his dark blue shirt.

He groaned painfully, missing the steps I grabbed hold of him carefully,

" Nothing, just happy to see you here.."

My cheeks burnt slightly after his comment. In the end, I was acting like a pure girlfriend, taking care of her drunkard boyfriend so affectionately. Once we both slid out of the bathroom, Ares suddenly pressed me against the wall, his one hand coming up to rest over my head. His freshly washed face was so close to mine that I could count his lashes probably.

He queried for the second time, pinning me under his gaze,

" Were you worried about me?"

His voice carried weight, so deep that I could hear my own heart accelerating. He wanted to know the truth from me and obviously, I was adamant about not letting this bad boy take advantage of my situation.

Because we were always this impossible!

I tugged on my lips nervously and slurred my words out,

" No...I just... worried for Aria..."

My lies didn't seem convincing in his opinion as he held a smirk on his face, knowingly. Ares sucked his lips dry, his eyes piercing into mine when he offered mischievously,

" Again lies! Maybe we can figure it out somehow else."

It was another dark yet tempting offer for me. His eyes trailed over my body and stopped right between my thighs. I pushed my thighs closer subconsciously and heard his dark chuckle, passing out those sinful lips that I kissed once.

My heart raced violently as he pushed me closer, stealing a gasp from my mouth. My hands found his shoulders to lean on when he murmured against my skin softly,

" I think, we both know the answer, Princess. Let's see what can I do with your pretty lips for saying lies to me."

That's what I hated about Ares! Manipulation! Temptation!

It was hard to get not aroused by those awesome physiques. His hand cupped my sex and that menacing look in his eyes, all these were enough to part my legs for him. But I knew, it was fucking wrong. I never knew that doing something forbidden would be so exciting. I shouldn't have trusted those eyes, fully aware that all he did was fuck, no love, no emotions.

My plain lips trembled, begging to let go of these sinful thoughts,

" Ar...Ares..."

His mischievous chuckle reverberated throughout the room, awakening my sensation, and desire altogether. He brought his fingers to push into my mouth. I choked unexpectedly but fuck, it was making me wet badly.
