“No,” I tell her as I pull her back to me, my forehead dropping to hers. “I’m not letting you go. I’m sorry, baby. I’m so fucking sorry. I can’t erase those memories, but I swear to you that they don’t matter as much as the present, and if you let me, I’ll try to overwrite them, okay? Isn’t that what I promised you in the car? Fuck the past, Cupcake. All I care about is you and me, here and now.”
She pulls away a little to look into my eyes, her gaze searching. She’s looks at me with such strong doubts, and all I want to do is take them away.
I smile at her as I pull on her towel, letting it fall to the floor before I take a step closer to her. Raven watches me with wide eyes as she walks backwards until the back of her legs hit her bed. I smirk as I push against her shoulder, and she falls onto the bed, her eyes on me.
“Ares,” she whispers, her tone admonishing.
I smirk as I let my own towel drop to the floor and grab my cock, pumping up and down. “Just looking at you has me hard, baby. You have no idea what you do to me, do you?”
I place my knee between her thighs and lean in as I lift her leg to my lips, placing a soft kiss on her skin. Raven gasps, and the sound is so fucking sweet.
I leave a trail of kisses on the inside of her thigh and inhale deeply as I reach her pussy. “You smell like fucking cupcakes.”
She chuckles, and it’s the first real laugh I’ve heard all night. “It’s the soap I use.”
I look at her and press a kiss right on top of her pussy, loving the way she bites down on her lip. “You’re already wet for me, aren’t you, baby?”
I part her legs wider and drag my tongue up, until I’ve got it pressed against her clit. Raven covers her mouth with one hand and buries the other in my hair.
“Ares,” she groans. “I need you closer tonight.”
I smile as I kiss her stomach, and then her hipbone, slowly making my way up, until I reach her breasts. “Yeah? Tell me what you want, Raven.”
“I want you to fuck me, Ares. I need you to take me hard and rough. Make it impossible for me to think of anything else.”
I smile as I take her nipple into my mouth and suck down on it. Her words are like fucking music to my ears.
I move up higher and press my cock against her. Raven lifts her hips in an attempt to get me to slide in, and I chuckle. “You want my cock that badly, baby?”
She nods, her hands threading through my hair. I push in slowly, enjoying the way her lips fall open, the way ecstasy overtakes her gaze. “Ares,” she moans, before wrapping a hand over her lips.
“Nah,” I whisper. “I’m not having any of that. I’ll make you scream my name tonight, baby.”
She shakes her head, and I chuckle. Even now, she’s taking into account other people’s feeling. No. Fuck that.
I pull almost all the way out and smirk at her as I thrust into her, hard, the way she likes it. She moans against her hand as her bed hits the wall, and I can’t get enough. I watch her closely as I do it all over again, loving the way she tries to stay in control of her pleasure and fails.
“You know what?” I murmur, pulling out of her. She whimpers, and I laugh as I turn her over. “Get on your hands and knees for me, Cupcake.”
She does as I ask, and I lean in, enjoying the way her pussy is on display for me. “I’ve always wanted you this way,” I groan, right before I place my hands on her ass, kneading softly. I lower my lips and taste her, my tongue lapping at her, teasing her clit. The way she moans is fucking magical. I smirk as I push two fingers into her while I continue to torture her clit, enjoying the way her moans get louder when I find her g-spot. I’m making it my mission to erase every single bad memory she’s got. When she walks into this room, I want her to remember the way I made her pant my name, and nothing else.
Raven’s moans come quicker, louder, and I increase my pace, sucking down on her clit when I’ve got her at the edge. That does it for her, and she comes all over my tongue, my name on her lips.
I pull away and rise to my feet before I lift her into my arms. I push her against the wall, and she wraps her legs around me. “I need you, Raven,” I tell her as I guide my cock into her pussy.
I thrust into her hard, the sounds we’re making disturbing the silence in her quiet room. “Oh God, Ares,” she moans as she tightens her legs around my waist.
I hold on to her hips tightly as I fuck her hard, fast, making her take all of me.
“It’s too deep,” she pants.
“No,” I tell her. “You can take it, baby. Look at how well you’re taking my cock.”
“Oh God,” she whispers, her head falling back.
I smirk and lean in, kissing her exposed neck, earning myself another moan from her. I suck down on her neck, leaving a small mark.
“When you moan like that, I can’t hold it, baby. You drive me fucking insane.”
I pull away a little to look at her. The desire in her eyes, the way her lips are slightly parted, her pupils dilated. “You’re the sexiest fucking thing I’ve ever seen, and I will never get enough of you.”
“Ares,” she groans, and I fuck her harder, taking her roughly, without mercy, without any regard for the noise we’re making. The angle I’m taking her at has me rubbing against her g-spot, and the way she’s moaning for me tells me I’ve got her close.
“I love you,” I whisper. “I fucking love you with all I am, Raven.”
She looks into my eyes with so much love in her expression that I can barely take it. “I love you more, Ares.”
“Fuck,” I groan, unable to take it for even a moment longer. I come deep inside her, my forehead dropping against her. “I’m not done with you,” I warn her. “There’s no fucking way I’ll let you fall asleep tonight.”
She giggles, and it’s the first genuinely happy sound that’s come out of her mouth since we got here. I’ll do anything to replicate it.
Chapter Fifty-Four
Ares
I smile at one of Raven’s cousins as he tells me all about this supposedly brilliant idea he has for a TV show he thinks I should create. I don’t have the heart to tell him that I neither write nor direct them. I’m merely the investor behind it all.
“And then the spaceship explodes,” he says, mimicking the sounds loudly in the busy garden.
I nod, barely paying attention. “I think something like that already exists, Nick.” Pretty sure what he’s describing to me is the plot to Star Wars with some minor tweaks.
“Yeah, but this is better.”
Hannah walks over to me and rolls her eyes at him. “Stop harassing Ares,” she says as she holds up a beer for me. The circles underneath her eyes make me wonder if she heard us last night. Somehow, I doubt she’d be smiling at me this way if she had, but then again, no one can put up an act like Hannah does.
“Just giving him some good ideas. You’ll thank me when Raven and Ares become filthy rich.”
I take a swig of my beer and smile at him. “My wife and I are already rich, buddy. I’ll take your ideas under consideration, though. Thank you.”
He nods and walks off, no doubt in search of another victim to subject to his boring stories. “Don’t mind him,” Hannah tells me, her arm brushing against mine.
