Josie distracted herself by going through her phone.She wanted to reach out to her friends but not wanting to interrupt their Christmas kept her from sending a message.
Her mother had been right about Ares.
But even Fleur had come around.
No, she couldn’t think about the happy memories, it was too raw.She needed to keep everything the woman said to her in her mind, wrapping it around her heart like a shield.If she thought of how kind Ares was, how attentive he was, how he made her feel, she’d unravel.
Because how could she be loved by someone who captured women?And whatever his reason, there was nothing that justified that.
The car stopped at her little house.She’d never been so grateful to see home as she was in that moment.
She got out, her hands trembling as she tried to get her key in the lock.The keys slid out of her hand and fell to the ground.
Putting her bag down on the stoop, she grabbed her keys.
“Hey!”Something sharp poked her, making her drop her keys.
Josie screamed as a gloved hand came around her mouth.She tried to kick, to fight the arm that came around her waist but it was too strong.
“Let go!”she screamed into the glove.
But the strong grip on her didn’t let up.
Fear froze her.She couldn’t move her body to fight.
Bile rose in her throat.
She was lifted and thrown into the back of the van.Her cheek came down hard on a mat covered in dirt.
The van started to move.
Josie tried the back doors, but they were locked.Her heart raced.Her stomach turned.She tried the handle again, willing it to open even though she knew it wouldn’t work.Though she tried to scream, not a sound came out.Who grabbed her?Why?What did they want?She closed her eyes, a wave of nausea making her dizzy.Oh god.What was happening?
Is it Ares?Did he send someone after her?She couldn’t think, her thoughts grew fuzzy before she lost consciousness.
31 ARES
"You got it all?"Ares stood, rubbing the back of his neck.It took longer than he wanted but all the details were hammered out and done.
"Yeah, I'm happy with that.Go back to your woman."
"You too."Ares ended the call, tossed his phone on his desk.
The panoramic views caught his breath.The sight of the grey blue early morning sky and the white caps on the rolling waves, he couldn’t wait to explore every inch of these surrounding views with Josie.
He vowed to have more days like yesterday where his phone was off, he detached from the world and his only focus was on giving his girl pleasure.
But his obligations demanded his attention, even on Christmas.
Christmas.
He’d almost forgotten.
Eager to get back to Josie, he tapped the hidden sensors on the panel and the door noiselessly slid open he stepped through, anticipation quickening his steps.
He couldn’t wait to wake up Josie.He’d kiss those pretty lips of hers and run his fingers through her silky curls.
His dick twitched, remembering how sweet her pussy felt clamped around his length, how soft her sighs were until she screamed his name.
