LOGINSophie’s POV“I know,” I said. “But I still need you. Please. Just… one more time. I’ll tell you if it’s too much. I promise.”Ares searched my face for a few seconds, like he was making sure I really meant it. Then he gave a slow, careful nod. “Alright. But we do this my way. I need to take care of you.”He pulled out of me slowly and gently. I felt the loss immediately, along with a warm trickle of his come sliding down between my thighs. Ares sat back against the headboard and opened his arms to me.“Come here, angel” he said, his voice low and warm.I moved toward him. The moment I was close enough, he carefully pulled me into his lap, guiding my legs to either side of his hips. He held my waist steadily as I sank down onto his still-hard cock. The thick head pushed inside me again, and a long, shaky moan left my mouth as I took him deeper than before.“That’s it,” Ares murmured, his hands gentle but firm on my hips. “Easy, baby. Take me slowly. You’re doing so well.”I settled fu
Sophie’s POVA small, satisfied smile pulled at his mouth. “Good girl.” He leaned down and kissed me softly, right there in the middle of the store, slow and claiming. When he pulled back, he rested his forehead against mine for a second. “I’m going to keep taking care of you, Sophie. Get used to it.”By the time we left the boutique, I was carrying more bags than I knew what to do with, and Ares’s hand was back on the small of my back — firm, warm, and unmistakably possessive. The slight ache between my legs had turned into a deeper, restless need. I already knew that when we got back to the hotel, I wanted him to claim me again. And from the way he kept looking at me, I knew he would give me exactly what I needed.The moment the suite door closed behind us, I turned to him and kissed him hard. All the quiet wanting that had been building all day finally spilled over. Ares made a low sound in his throat and kissed me back, his hands settling firmly on my waist as he pulled me against
Sophie’s POVI didn’t look at them for long. I simply stayed close to Ares and walked past them without saying a word. I felt Derek’s stare on my back the entire time, but I refused to turn around. Ares’s hand stayed firm on my waist, guiding me forward like he was silently telling everyone in the hallway that I was with him now.The conference room was large and already filling with people. Rows of chairs faced a long table at the front. Soft lights hung from the ceiling, and the air smelled like coffee and expensive perfume. Ares led me to seats near the front. He pulled my chair out for me before sitting down beside me. Throughout the long meeting, he stayed close. Every now and then his knee would brush against mine under the table, or his hand would rest briefly on my thigh, hidden from view. Each small touch sent a quiet spark through me and reminded me of the night before.When the conference finally ended, people began standing and gathering in small groups to talk. Ares stood
Sophie’s POVThe next morning, I woke up slowly. Soft light was coming through the curtains, and the first thing I felt was the solid warmth of Ares’s body behind me. His arm was wrapped around my waist, holding me close against his chest. I could feel the slow, steady rise and fall of his breathing against my back. For a few quiet seconds I just stayed still, letting myself enjoy the feeling of being held like this. My body still carried the memory of last night — the slight soreness between my legs, the way he had filled me, the way he had taken care of me afterward. I pressed back against him a little, and his arm tightened.Ares stirred behind me. His hand moved slowly over my stomach, then higher, brushing the underside of my breast through the thin sheet. His voice was low and rough with sleep when he spoke near my ear.“Morning, baby.”I turned in his arms so I could face him. His dark hair was messy from sleep, and his eyes were still a little heavy. He looked beautiful like t
Sophie’s POVBefore I could beg again, he went down on his knees in front of me under the warm spray. The water ran over his dark hair and down his broad shoulders. He lifted one of my legs and carefully placed it on his shoulder, opening me up to him. I grabbed his other shoulder for balance, my fingers digging into his wet skin.Ares leaned in close to my pussy. I could feel his warm breath against my sensitive folds. Then he started licking me — long, slow strokes of his tongue from my entrance all the way up to my clit. A loud moan tore out of me at the first touch of his mouth.“Ares… oh God…”He groaned against me, the vibration making my legs shake. “You taste so fucking good,” he murmured between licks. “Even better mixed with my come. Stay still for me, baby. Let me eat this sensitive little pussy until you come on my tongue.”His tongue moved slowly at first, careful because of how tender I was, but thorough. He licked through my folds, then focused on my clit, circling it w
Sophie’s POVHe pulled out of me gently. I felt the sudden emptiness as his thick cock left my body, and a soft whimper escaped my lips at the loss. Warm come immediately started to leak out of me, thick and slow, sliding down between my thighs and onto the sheets. It felt messy and intimate. Ares lay beside me and pulled me into his arms. His chest was warm and solid against my cheek. One of his hands stroked slowly up and down my back, grounding me after everything we had just done.“Are you okay, baby?” he asked quietly, his voice still rough. “Talk to me. I need to hear your voice.”I nodded against his skin. “I’m fine. More than fine.”He pressed a soft kiss to the top of my head. “Was I too rough with you? Be honest with me. I need the truth.”I lifted my face so I could look at him. My cheeks were still flushed. “It was perfect,” I whispered. “You were perfect. I… I liked it. All of it. The way you held me. The way you filled me. Even when it was hard… it felt right.”Ares smil
Sophie’s POVLow and warm. Easy and unhurried, the way he had said it that night in the kitchen when I had sat down because his voice told me to and my body had simply obeyed before my brain could interfere.The same two words.The same voice.The same devastating effect.The heat moved through me

Sophie’s POVI stood there in the pouring rain without an umbrella, soaking wet within seconds, and I thought about everything that had happened today from the moment I woke up to this exact moment and I almost laughed. Almost. The sound that came out wasn't quite a laugh and wasn't quite a cry. It
