Aries grasped her waist, kissing her lips while Cara stood frozen in his arms, unable to think straight. Her mind goes blank, surrendering to the demanding kiss of the stranger.
Aries had an unusual feeling. The more he tries to stop kissing and fuck her against the wall, the more he couldn’t stop kissing those soft lips that felt right against his lips.
“Kiss me back!” He demanded, crashing his lips on her again and Cara felt butterflies dancing in her stomach. It was her first kiss. His masculine fragrance of wood and spices engulfed her, invading her senses, but Cara composed herself and tried to push him.
“You wanna play hard, huh?” Aries smirked, sucking hard on her neck. Cara repeatedly pushed his chest, but Aries was too strong for her. He grasped her wrist and pinned them above her head. Cara’s eyes went wide as she struggled against him.
“Leave....” She opened her mouth to protest, but Aries was quick to shut her up with a passionate kiss, nibbling her lips. Cara pressed her lips into a straight line and Aries groaned. He squeezed her bosom, pinching her nipple.
Cara whimpered in pain, parting her lips and his tongue drove straight into her mouth, exploring every corner, sucking her tongue. Cara tasted alcohol and stopped squirming against him, completely drowned in the dreamy kiss.
Aries’s phone started ringing in his pants, but he ignored it.
Conscience hit her, and she tried to free her wrist again, testing his patience. Aries snorted, completely annoyed by her attitude, and he turned her to the wall. His hand traveled down her thighs, yanking her skirt up to her waist, and his cold fingers were intimately close to her sex.
Her breath caught in her throat and Cara couldn’t comprehend why she wasn’t voicing out her protest and enjoying his touch. Aries grasped her throat, pressing his front against her back. She could feel his cock poking between her ass cheeks. “This is what you wanted, huh?” He whispered in her ear, pushing his hips forward, and Cara took a sharp breath.
She was scared to death, her body shivered, and at that moment, she wished for nothing but to escape. Aries’s hand traveled to the zipper of his pants when his phone started ringing again. Frustrated, he took out his phone to disconnect the call.
The mobile screen lit up with Sasha’s call, and Aries knitted his eyebrows. His eyes traveled to the woman and his hold on her throat loosened.
“Who are you?” He asked, and Cara turned to him. A dim light flashed slightly as someone opened the passage door leading to the alley and Aries saw her hazel eyes for a fraction of a second before the door closed again. And she was definitely not who he was expecting.
Cara quickly fixed her skirt and took a step back. Aries tried to catch her, but she ran to save herself while Aries stood dumbfounded in his place. The sound of heels clicking faded, and his phone rang up for the third time.
Tearing his eyes from where the mysterious woman disappeared, Aries took the call from Sasha. “Aries, where are you?” Sasha asked as he picked up her call.
“Where the fuck are you? I told you to follow me!” He gritted his teeth, slamming his fist on the wall.
Sasha was confused about why he was suddenly so angry. She was just ten minutes late. “A waitress spilled juice on my dress. I had to clean it up. I can come to you now. Where are you?” She asked, but Aries ended the call without answering.
“Fuck!” He groaned, his eyes traveling to where the woman left.
Cara ran on the empty road, making sure that no one was following her. She took a taxi with some of the last cash she had and reached her apartment. She was sweating profusely and her throat went dry.
She paid the bill to the cabbie and rushed to her apartment. Her hands were shivering as she took out her keys and they slipped on the floor. “Easy, you’re safe!” She drew a deep breath, wiping the sweat off her face, and bent down when a hand beat her.
A gentleman dressed in a black suit appeared with a charming smile and handed the keys back to her. “You are here again? I’ve told you, I’m not interested in any deal! Get off my back.” She shrieked, and the man gestured for her to lower her voice or else her neighbors would create a scene.
“Just why don’t you think about it for once? I’m giving you a great deal!” He said and Cara rolled her eyes.
“Not interested! My car is very special to me, and no matter what, I’ll never agree to this deal.” Cara firmly stated.
“Come on! You don’t even use the car! Can we settle for three million?” The man negotiated, but Cara declined the enormous amount again.
“Why is your boss so interested in my car? Can’t he buy any other car? I’m sure big brands are rolling out expensive cars every week.” She lifted an eyebrow.
The man stayed silent. “Anyway, please stop bothering me! I’ve already got so many things on my plate to deal with,” she said, opening the door of her house.
“Good night!” Cara slammed the door shut in his face. She took a deep breath to calm herself and marched to the bathroom, quickly gathering her hair into a messy bun and splashing water on her face.
As she stood before the mirror, her gaze was drawn to the red mark on her neck, which served as a reminder of the passionate kiss.
As she reminisced about that first kiss in the dark alley, she could almost taste the faint hint of cigarettes on the stranger’s lips. “It was a mistake! It doesn’t count as my first kiss.”
After changing into comfortable pajamas and a plain baggy t-shirt, she left the bathroom and crashed on her bed.
Although she was feeling extremely tired, she found herself constantly distracted by the flashes of kisses that kept interrupting her train of thought.
The way his brawny arms snaked around her waist, her breast crashing against his hard chest, the demanding kiss forcing her to submit to him, his giant hand squeezing her bosom, playing with her nipple, his cold finger tracing the inside of her thighs.
Nothing was right, but it all seemed to be perfect. Cara closed her eyes and everything was in a loop in her dream, while on the other hand, Aries couldn’t take her off his mind. The hazel eyes were all he could think about.

“Ahh. fuck!” Sasha moaned as he plunged harder into her from behind, and Aries groaned. This was the fifth round, and he was still insatiable.
He closed his eyes, imagining the soft lips of the hazel eyes wrapped around his cock, and he left a guttural groan, filling his condom, and slowly slipped out of her.
Disposing of the condom and he lay next to Sasha. “Wow! That was something else!” she said as they catch their breath and Aries closed his eyes to calm his raging nerves. He thought sex would help him take his mind off the hazel eyes, but it only increased his urge to fuck her.
The insatiable fire Cara ignited in him didn’t die down even after five rounds of sex, and all he could think about while fucking Sasha was the kiss in the dark alley.
Sasha put her head on his arm, scooting close to him. “Why are you so stressed?” She asked, her slender finger tracing his jaws.
Aries abruptly sat on the bed, and Sasha widened her eyes. “What’s wrong?” He didn’t answer. All he wanted was to breathe in the fresh air. He wore his clothes back and Sasha sat on the bed watching his actions. “Are you not staying tonight?”
Aries buttoned his shirt and wore his shoes. “Thanks for the night!” He said and left her apartment.
“Take me to the beach!” He asked his chauffeur as the latter opened the door of the backseat and Aries rolled down the window. A cool breeze hit his face, and he took a deep breath. He closed his eyes, and the scene replayed in his mind.
“It was just a fucking kiss. Why the hell am I so drowned in it?” He screamed in his head. “Why are those pairs of hazel eyes all I could think about? And what did I see in her eyes just in a flash of light... fear, sadness, helplessness... What was it? How did this girl wreak havoc with just a kiss?”
The chauffeur stopped the car and Aries stepped out. He was walking on the beach, watching the waves hitting the shores, when his phone rang up, and it was one of those men to whom he handed an important task.
“Is there any development?” He asked.
“I’m sorry, but the woman refused the deal again!” The man said from the other side and Aries gritted his teeth.
“I’m done playing nice now. I want the damn car at any cost! Just do it, Mike! I’m losing patience.”
At Grayson Group, “You’re fired!” Aries threw the file on his mahogany desk. “Collect this shit and get lost!” He growled, and the employee muttered sorry in a barely audible voice on his way out, Simon, who happened to hear their conversation on his way inside. “What’s wrong with you today? That’s the tenth employee you’ve fired!” He said while Aries took a sip of coffee. A deep frown appeared on his face. “Who made this coffee? Fire him as well!” “Are you alright?” “Yes! Why do you ask?” He glared at him, and Simon sighed, keeping the files on the desk. “These are the files you asked for,” he said, and Aries opened the first file while Simon waited, standing beside him for his instructions. Aries read the file and closed it. “I think I need a break!” He said, shifting in his seat. “Break or a good fuck?” Simon lifted an eyebrow and Aries glared at him. “You may be my friend outside these premises, but here I’m your boss. Don’t take undue advantage and shut your mouth.” He sa
“I’ll be out of the city for a few days. Love you, xoxo!” Natalie was in the back seat of the taxi, her hands roaming over the tattooed guy’s body, when her phone lit up with a text from Keith. “Love you too! Come back soon.” She texted Keith and shoved her phone back into her wallet. “Let’s go to my place!” She said and gave her address to the driver. Drunk as fuck, they reached the apartment Natalie shared with Keith. Natalie was about to turn on the lights when the guy pinned her to the door, his lips traveling down her neck. She giggled, watching him getting impatient for her, and taking his hand, she led him to the room she shared with Keith. Unknown to her, Keith was sitting on the couch in pitch dark and saw their every movement with a glass of wine. The next morning, Keith was making breakfast, and the kitchen was filled with the sound of ear-blasting music. Natalie grumbled in annoyance. “Turn off the music!” The tattooed guy sleeping next to her let out a piercing shriek
Keith drowned himself at work. It was past the time for him to get off work, but he still overloaded himself with work to forget about his cheating girlfriend. One of his colleagues and close friend, Janet, appeared and peeked inside his cabin. “Keith! What are you doing?” She asked, and his bloodshot eyes shot up at her. “Hey, what’s wrong?” She walked in. “Nothing!” He opened the next file, but she closed it. “Tell me!!” Keith sank into his chair. “I’m fucking loser, Janet!” He said, throwing his head back and closing his eyes. “She is a fucking loser. She couldn’t recognize a gem like you. Stop blaming yourself!” Janet said. “That fucking bitch needed to exit so that the right one could enter.” “I don’t think I can trust anyone from now onwards!” Keith rubbed his face and focused on the file, but Janet closed the file again. “What?” He groaned in frustration. “There is this new club in the town I’m going to. Join me!” She offered. “Who knows? You might end up finding the righ
Janet was standing by the window, lost in thought when the sound of someone clearing their throat interrupted her. As she turned, she saw a man sitting on the couch, cross-legged and reading a magazine. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Janet shrieked and Sebastian smiled, looking up at her. “I came to see you, sweetheart!” He smiled, set the book aside, and walked over to her. “I’m glad you’re fine!” He reached out to hug her, but she pushed him back. “Don’t!” Her eyes narrowed as she glared at him, causing him to take a step back and raise his hands defensively. “I deeply regret the pain you have suffered! But you know, right, that I won’t ever try to hurt intentionally?” Janet’s lips curled into a smirk. “You won’t hurt me? The man who has hurt me the most is claiming to never hurt me intentionally. You still think I’m still naïve?” “Why do you always misunderstand me?” Sebastian pressed his lips. “I don’t want to understand you, Sebastian Genovese! Get the fuck out of here
New Orleans, Grayson Group of Hotels, Aries and his colleagues, from the chairman down to the security personnel, convened at the recently built hotel in New Orleans. Every gaze was fixed on the massive wall-mounted TV screen, and they held their breath as the announcer was on the brink of declaring the Hotel of the Year winner. Aries watched the screen stoically, devoid of any emotion. “I am delighted to announce that the winner of the Hotel of the Year Award 2019 is Grayson Group of Hotels! Give them a huge round of applause,” the presenter announced on the stage. Everyone clapped as Mr. Courtney, soon to be retired, walked up to the stage to accept the award for Grayson Group. “Why did Mr. Grayson refrain from attending award ceremonies and instead send his employees?” A fresh recruit spoke in hushed tones to another staff. “His belief in his vision is unwavering, yet it is us who manifests it into reality. Sir Aries shows great respect for all diligent employees!” The other s
“We have Rob’s statement on record. He caught Cara stealing money, she hit him in the head and fled from the apartment.” The officer told Keith and the chief. “I don’t buy this story,” Janet said. “I bet she is innocent.” Keith ignored her and turned to the officer. “How is Rob related to Cara?” “Cara is his girlfriend’s friend. She was temporarily staying with them.” “And I checked her phone. Her contact list has ten people, all work-related. No family.” Janet said. “Okay, I’ve decided. Keith, she is your responsibility till the trial.” The chief said. “She is the only witness against Sebastian!” “Why me?” Keith lifted an eyebrow. “I can’t stand that girl! And who knows if she is actually a thief? We must detain her!” “No!” Janet raised her voice. “Not before we hear her side of the story.” As she spoke, an idea suddenly came to her. “Why don’t you take her home?” “What! Are you crazy?” Keith shrieked. “She is right. Your place is the safest!” The chief said. “Are you all be
Janet put on some music and headed to the kitchen to whip up a quick meal, but the sight of her pristine kitchen made her reconsider and she decided to order takeout instead. She slouched down on the couch, ordered pizza for herself, and played a romantic movie to pass the time when she heard the doorbell. Upon opening the door, she was surprised to find Sebastian holding her pizza. Janet parted her lips. She glanced around quickly before returning her attention to him. “What the fuck are you doing here?” Her question elicited a smirk from him. “I decided to have dinner with you.” He walked past inside and Janet banged the door close. “You can’t be serious!” Janet held his wrist while he grabbed wine glasses in the kitchen. “Leave or I’ll call the cops!” Sebastian scoffed. “Can you stop giving me warnings? Threatening me is a waste of your time.” He poured wine into the glasses and walked into her living room. “Fine! I’m calling the cops!” “At least have dinner with me! I know y
“Give him whatever he wants!” Cynthia, who was ignorant about the business, gave in to Aries’s demand, and Isla couldn’t help but feel amused as she looked at her uncle. “Cynthia, are you crazy?” Alfred raised his voice. “He is demanding a majority stake of 51% along with decision-making authority. Do you understand the meaning?” He berated her. “Alfred, we need Aries on our side!” Cynthia argued. “At this cost? This will ruin us!” He exclaimed in disapproval and turned to Mr. Johnson. “What is your opinion? You’re the head of the financial department. Don’t you think it’s a risky collaboration?” “Aries Grayson is the leading name in the business world right now! Intelligent and extremely unpredictable. It is a risky collaboration, Mrs. Glaziers!” He glanced at Cynthia, and her smile vanished. “But this collaboration could be remarkable in history. With a whopping investment of seventy million, Mr. Grayson offers his expertise and experience, which surpasses our investment threefo
