“Watch me.”
I nod at one of my bodyguards, and Hannah freezes for a moment. “Are you insane?” she asks. “I’m the lead star of this movie.”
I shrug. “Then I strongly recommend you watch your movie from elsewhere, because you won’t be watching it here, with my wife and me.”
Raven rises to her feet and places her hand on my arm. “Ares,” she says, her voice soft. “Leave it be.”
I glance at her and wrap my arm around her waist. “No,” I tell her simply, before turning back to Hannah. “Out.”
Hannah grits her teeth, her eyes flashing with anger. “You’ll regret treating me this way, Ares. We’ve always had our ups and downs, and this is no different. Don’t go too far, because I promise you, you’ll regret it.”
Then she walks out, my bodyguards on her heels.
“She’s right, you know,” Raven says, her tone lackluster. “You will regret that. You’ve never had the heart to hurt her. You don’t need to start now on my behalf.”
I turn to my wife and gently cup her cheek, my heart racing. “You’re fucking insane if you think I’m going to sit there and watch you choke back tears. You’re my wife, Raven. She’s nothing but your sister to me. I don’t give a fuck about my past with her, and I don’t want to hear about it either. I certainly won’t fucking sit here and let her hurt you, because we both know that’s exactly what she was doing. Don’t even dream of making excuses for her, Raven.”
I pinch her chin and raise her face to mine. “You’re mine, Raven. You will always be mine. How long is it going to take for you to realize that? You’re my wife. You’re not someone anyone can offend or hurt. Certainly not on my fucking watch.”
I bury my hand in her hair and tighten my grip as I roughly pull her closer. “When are you going to realize that you fucking own my heart? You could throw the biggest fucking tantrum anyone has ever seen and act like a psychotic jealous wife, and I’d let you. What is it going to take for you to realize that I’m yours?”
“Are you?” she asks, her eyes filled with desperation. “Are you mine? Or will you eventually go back to her, like you always do?”
I let my fingers trail over her scalp before grabbing a handful of her hair and fisting it in my hand. I bring her face closer to mine before I lean in to kiss her, my touch rough and punishing. Raven moans against my lips and slides her hands up my chest until she’s got her arms wrapped around my neck.
I pull her dress up before lifting her into my arms, her legs wrapping around my waist as I deepen our kiss. “The fact that you feel the need to ask that question at all means I’ve failed you.” I push her against the wall, the sounds of Hannah’s movie playing all around us. All anyone would have to do is look up, and they’d see us, but I don’t give a fuck. “I’m yours, Raven. I will never leave you. No matter what. What will it take for you to believe me?”
I lower my lips to her neck, my teeth grazing over her skin before I suck down on it, marking her as mine. “I’m fucking obsessed with you,” I admit. “Every little thing you do, every smile, every sigh that leaves your lips. All of it.”
My hand delves underneath her dress, and I smirk when I realize she isn’t wearing underwear. “This,” I groan against her lips. “I love this about you. You always want me just as badly as I want you.”
My fingers trail over her pussy, and my cock twitches when two of my fingers slide into her with ease. “You’re always so fucking wet for me, baby. Tell me, my love, have you always wanted me this way?”
She looks at me, her eyes heavy with desire. “Always.”
Her hands move up my neck until she’s got them buried in my hair. Fucking hell. Just one touch, and she’s got my heart racing. I’m impatient as I unbuckle my belt and free my cock, sliding it against her pussy eagerly.
“I love everything about you,” I whisper as I align my cock, pushing just the tip in. Raven moans, and I wrap my hand over her mouth.
“I love your smile.” I push in halfway, and her eyes fall closed as her legs tighten around me. She pushes against me, trying to get me in all the way, but I hold on to her hip tightly, withholding what she wants.
“I love your moans.” I push in a little further and brush my index finger over her lip. She opens her mouth, and I push two fingers into it. I nearly lose it when she sucks down on them, as though she wishes she had my cock in her mouth, her eyes on mine.
I push into her all the way, already fucking ready to come. “I love your heart,” I whisper as I place both hands on her ass, pulling almost all the way out.
“Fuck, Raven. I think I love you.” I thrust into her hard, and she cries out.
“Ares, oh God,” she moans.
I chuckle as I press my lips against hers, kissing her and swallowing down her moans as I fuck her slowly, deeply.
I drop my forehead against hers and inhale shakily. “Yeah, baby. I think I’m fucking in love with you.”
“Ares,” she moans, her eyes finding mine. Her gaze is filled with cautious hope mixed with lust, and she’s never looked more beautiful. “Say that again.”
I pull almost all the way out of her and hold still, my eyes on hers. “I love you, Raven. I love you.”
I push into her slowly this time, inch by inch, until I’m deep inside her, my eyes never leaving hers. My right hand moves between us, until I’ve got my fingers drawing circles around her clit. “I love the way your lips part slightly when my thumb brushes over your clit, the way you start to pant for me, your eyes silently begging. Making you come is one of my favorite hobbies, baby.”
She bites down on her lip as my touch becomes rougher, more impatient. All the while, I continue to fuck her slowly, the whole world fading away. I don’t give a fuck that there are hundreds of people watching a movie just below this balcony. All I can see is my wife.
“I think I’m addicted to your pussy.”
“I think I’m addicted to you,” she whispers.
I flick her clit roughly, pushing her right to the edge. “I’ll keep you hooked, baby. I’ll keep feeding your addiction, so you’ll never leave me.”
I watch as her breathing comes quicker and increase the pace, fucking her hander, moving my fingers faster, until she unravels for me.
“Ares,” she moans. I wrap my hand over her mouth as she comes, my name on her lips. Yeah, I’m fucking done for. I’m in love with her. I push her against the wall harder, fucking her with quick, rough thrusts. She takes all of me, and I come seconds after she does, my forehead dropping to hers.
“Ares,” she whispers, her voice husky. “I love you, too.”
Chapter Forty-Eight
Raven
I bite down on my lip as I stare at the text messages Ares has been sending me all morning. I should be finalizing the model lineup for my upcoming show, but I keep daydreaming about my husband. Being with him has been better than I ever could’ve dreamed of. Everything I thought I’d never have is within reach now.
It makes me wonder if my suspicions about Hannah and Ares were true. He never seemed happy around her — not the way he is with his family. I thought it’d just been my own wishful thinking, but maybe it wasn’t.
