Fuck, what have I done to myself?
Chapter13
Ares
When I opened my eyes again, I knew something would be different, but I didn't realize it would be Goldilocks standing at my door the second I was done getting dressed and ready for a run.
Her hair was pulled back in a tight bun with a side part. She had small gold studs in her ears, and her face was made up to perfection. She looked like she wanted me to fuck her again and mess it all up, but I won't do that. My eyes perused her entire outfit. She wore a forest green suit; the blazer hugged her body just like the skirt did with her thighs, but that wasn't the bonus. The bonus was that it was high enough for me to pull it up and fuck her against the wall.
Living together wasn't such a good idea after all.
"One month."
Goldilocks said to me with wide eyes and mischief behind them.
"One month for what?"
"Give me what you gave me yesterday for one month, and that's all."
"You think I'd give this to someone for 30 days and then let them go because they're ready to be gone?"
"Why not?"
"No."
She glared at me, but a twinkle in her eye still indicated I needed to know that she would not give up. No wonder why she's in business, and she's both annoying and cutthroat.
"Why?"
"Why not?"
She was playing with fire, and she thought she wouldn't get burned because I fucked her.
"See, baby brother," Artemis made her entrance again. I haven't heard from her, and I don't know if I was enjoying it or feeling empty. "She's not someone you want to give what you need in return, and she's not going to give it to you. Only one person could've loved you like that, and she's dead. You let her die, and she wouldn't die for you, and you know that, right?"
Her taunts drove me mad and made me want to bash something in. Boiling with fury, I ground my teeth and clenched my jaw so tight, it hurt as I walked toward Carmen.
"Listen to me, Cami, don't fucking play with me."
"I'm not playing. You gave me a demonstration, and now, I want to feel it all."
"For 30 fucking days? Am I a joke to you? Do I look like you could bully me into some fucking shit?"
There's a storm brewing in her big brown eyes, and if she thought I was the one to grab a bite and then be done with, she's mistaken. Carmen glared at me without giving me a clear answer.
Accepting the glaring anger that poured from her eyes, I kept her tight against my body for a minute, making sure that she could see the darkness that was evident in my gaze, that the only bright thing about me was the color of my dirty, dirty blond hair and my green eyes except when they resembled a bottomless black pit.
"You need to take more business classes on negotiations, baby," I moaned in her face. Both my anger and lust were taking over despite my wanting to choose one over the other. "You don't even know the fine print of this type of love, Carmen. The things I want to do to my girl are not simple, and they never will be. You can't just experience it and leave. For example, if you were my girl right now, I'd plant my hand on top of your head and guide you right down," I show her by placing my hand on the top of her head, but I don't force her to kneel; instead, I step back and navigate her body into an arch. "Now, you're face to face with the proper ink to mix with your spit to make your pen and sign."
I lift her back up, slamming her into the wall. I did it on purpose so that she could wake the fuck up.
Carmen shifted back in her position on the wall as if this made it easier to divert her thoughts. Every muscle, including my dick, went rigid as she gave me a twisted desire look and drew in a stuttered gasp.
"You'd be tired of me. That's why I said 30 days."
Her innocent confession meant absolutely nothing to me.
"Don't fucking ask me what you're not interested in, then." I leaned down to her face and licked her lips. "But I wanted you to suck me off too. Fuck, we need to step it up, and I was looking forward to tasting your pussy."
