It seed as if my panties were gonna lt off because of Ares’ ardent gaze.
"G-Going sowhere?" I asked, snapping him out of it.
It took a mont before his eyes slowly moved to mine. We stayed like that for what seed like a minute, just drowning in each other’s stares as if we could speak through them.
"For a run," he replied, zipping up his track jacket.
"Can I join you? Thinking of burning a little fat from this ass."
"Your ass is perfect."
I sank my teeth into my bottom lip as I whispered. "You think so?"
He ca towards in a heartbeat and pald the left side of my cheek. I groaned as sweet pain shot through like lightning. I peered at him through my lashes, urging him for sothing I can’t explain.
Ares pushed his palm more, and I gasped loudly, his nails digging into the soft flesh, amplifying the ache.
"Go get dressed. I’ll wait." He freed .
I smiled, turning and purposely swaying my hips while casting a look over my shoulder, and caught Ares with a feral look in his eyes.
"See you in a few, honey." I disappeared into the next corridor.
~☆~
I was dressed in my tracksuit set, feeling hot when there was chillness in the air. I spared a look at Ares, as I grinned for no reason at all.
When the elevator doors opened, we stepped out and were greeted by the staff.
"It’s been so long since I did this. Don’t be too hard on ." I said as we descended the stairs.
"Keep up," he said, jogging, and I followed suit.
The entire property around the penthouse was spacious, and the lampposts were already turned on. I caught sight of a few security details in the distance.
I haven’t taken the ti to roam the area, and this seed like the perfect ti to do so.
Jogging with Ares was calr than I imagined. Though it seed he was purposely slow because of , so that I could keep up.
"This is easier than I thought," I said, hoping to create a more chatty atmosphere. "Beats chasing after goats."
He gave a look.
"My grandparents’ farm, the goats are always like they are on sothing and decide to go on a race every single ti. It’s always so hard to get them back in the pen." I smiled at the mory. "There aren’t many of them any more."
I was hoping he would ask why, but he didn’t. Hence, another silence, so I increased my pace, turning so I face him while jogging.
"How about a race?"
"A race..." He stated. "That’s not a wise move."
"Why? Because you’re big and strong? I’ll let you know these legs can do wonders."
Ares eyed them briefly, and that look certainly did not have racing in mind.
"What does the winner get?" he asked.
"Easy there, devil. The winner gets to plan the next date. As ntioned in the contract, dates are important, and we have only had none?" I teased.
"Let’s add sothing else."
"What do you have in mind, Mr. King?"
He halted, and I did too, hands on my waist.
"The loser grants one wish."
"What wish? I asked.
"Why don’t you find out?" He ran ahead.
"Hey! That’s cheating!" I chased after him. "Ares!"
With every pace, he got further and further away from .
"THE GA IS OVER!" I scread at the top of my lungs, increasing my speed so that I could catch up to him.
After what seed like a few minutes, I’m panting harshly, and my legs are killing . My lungs were burning with every breath I took.
"Oh, thank God!" I exclaid when I spotted a bench next to a lamppost.
With a hunched position and panting like a zombie, I sluggishly neared the wood and sat down only to yelp.
"Ares!" I exploded, rubbing my bottom, whining as the pain bit through and trying to catch my breath at the sa ti was an intense marathon.
I heard footsteps coming, and I turned to Ares approaching , breath sharp and a smile spreading on his lips.
"You cheated. I didn’t even say go yet," I said the mont he stood in front of .
"You didn’t stand a chance."
"I might just surprise you," I said cockily. "If only..." I raised a finger and sucked in breath right after having no strength to continue my words.
A chuckle rolled off him, and he sat next to , legs spread.
"Deja vu."
"What?" I asked, puzzled.
He ran a hand through his wet hair and leaned back on the wood, arms spreading on the back of the wood, his eyes eting the dark skies.
"Deja vu," he said again.
"Ahhh... so sothing that has happened. Did you sit on a bench like this?"
"Yes."
"Was there a lamppost?"
"Yes."
"Huh... Did you by chance sit next to soone, too?"
"She sat next to ."
"She?" I whipped my head to him. "A woman?"
"Yes."
A nasty feeling settled low on my stomach. This is the first ti Ares has ever ntioned another woman, let alone thought about one.
Must be one of his high-class chicks enough to consu his mind. I know Ares; only a few things are worthy of his attention.
I sat up suddenly, my mood foul. "I’m heading back."
At the sound of movent, I turned, but it was already too late, because gravity left as I was thrown on Ares’ broad shoulder.
"Hey!" I held my glasses in place, wriggling. "Put down!"
"We have a date."
A date? Seriously? After what he pulled off?
"You ass—"
Smack!
The sharp sound filled the air, and I swallowed my words.
He just hit my aching ass!
"You—"
Smack!
"Quiet."
I chewed the inside of my mouth, knowing there was no point in arguing. My poor ass was gonna suffer.
Ares walked through the entrance, redness flushing my face as eyes flew to us.
Dear ground, please swallow .
