The corners of Ares’s lips curl in a barely perceptible smile. “It actually looks like you started without me.”
There’s a challenge in his tone.
The air in the room is crackling with electricity as Chance and I look at the exchange between Ares and Zara as if it were a tennis match.
“I prefer my Chinese food reheated, anyway.” Zara bites out.
“Fine. I guess I’ll be downstairs when you guys are done.”
Ares is holding onto the wooden doorjamb with white-knuckle force, his eyes still fixed on Zara.
“Or you could stay.” She offers.
“And what?” He frowns.
Zara extends her hand waiting for Ares to close the distance between the four of us. “And be with me.”
“It’s not just you, princess. You know if you were alone in here, I would have no problem.”
“I love you, Ares.” She says. “And that won’t change if you walk away. But it would make me happy if you stayed.”
Ares’s expression is deeply conflicted as he looks at the three of us.
I think I know why Zara set up this date night. She’s nervous about tomorrow. She wants to be with all of us in case the worst happens. But she isn’t saying that out loud because she doesn’t want to force Ares’s hand.
I can see the moment his mind is made up before he utters a strangled “Fuck it.” And reaches us, pulling Zara out of Chance’s arms and into his.
He kisses her hard, holding the back of her head with one hand. His other hand is at her waist, pushing her flush with his body.
It’s possessive, dominant and fucking hot.
My lips curl into a smile I can see mirrored on Chance’s face.
But the outcome of this situation could still not be what we want if Ares asked us to leave.
Would we?
One look at Chance confirms that he has no intention of walking out of this room unless Zara asks us to. I feel exactly the same way.
The kiss between Zara and Ares escalates fast. His hands are all over her as he lets go of her head and cups her perfect tits the same way Chance was doing a minute ago.
She whimpers, pulling Ares’s shirt out of his pants. Her hands disappear beneath the shirt as Zara feels the corded muscles in Ares’s back.
“I love you, princess.” He growls, breaking the kiss to glide his lips down the creamy skin of her neck. “I would do anything for you.”
Zara cups his face with her hands, forcing him to look at her. “Then you know that I love you with all my heart. That loving Chance and Lev the same way doesn’t make me love you any less. Neither does wanting them as much as I want you.” She turns to look at us. “I miss you, guys.”
Chance and I look at each other before looking at Ares.
He nails us both with a death glare before nodding, his head still between Zara’s hands.
“I’m gonna give whatever this is a shot. But Zara’s hands and mouth are the only ones I want on my dick. Or I’m out. Nothing against it if you two want to… you know. I’m all for that if it’s what you want, but it’s not for me. And no judgement if you’re into each other.”
“We aren’t,” I chuckle. “But thanks for the reassurance.”
Chance backs me up. “I would have no problem acting on it if I were attracted to Lev, as long as Zara was on board with it, but I’m not.”
“Same.” I agree. “Besides, trust me when I tell you that once Zara is naked between us, your cocks are the last thing on my mind.”
