Relationships

"Well, I did meet this cute guy here..." I whisper. I don't know why, no one else is here. If she wants to hear gossip I can give her a little bit. Not a lot, but a little..."Oh! Finally! Tell me more!" Marcie giggles."Well, his name is James. He works in finance, and he is really sweet," I smile looking down at the sandwich I've only half eaten, thinking about dessert..."So, did he ask you out?" She's practically bouncing over the phone. She wasn't this excited when John kept asking me out. She told me he was kinda weird, but she seems genuinely happy for me now."No. We really haven't had a lot of time together. But he bought me a lunch," I sigh. "He also said he'd take me out or dessert sometime.""Yep. And how does Ares feel about this?" Marcie asks with mischief in her voice.I have no idea what Ares thinks about James taking me to dessert because I didn't tell him, and frankly it's none of his business! I don't ask him about the women he takes to bed and he can't ask me about

Chocolate Cake

Ares POVI grind my teeth and run my fingers through my hair. I'm so agitated right now. No. That's not it! I'm fucking jealous! Of a damn phone call! She could've been talking to her mother for all I know!I'd practically pushed Miley out the door the moment we were finished and I stormed down the third floor knowing I'd find my girl there... I just didn't know what to expect. I was half worried she'd run right into James' arms and he would be all over her... Only I'd sent him a text earlier telling him I needed something looked at right then. There was no way I was giving him the opportunity to touch what belongs to me. (If he had ignored my text and I'd found him down here with my girl there would be hell to pay!)To say I was relieved she wasn't with James is the understatement of the universe. She didn't look like she was fixing her clothes and she didn't have a hair out of place. Nothing like what my overactive imagination had been hinting at... Which is good, because I really ne

Spooked

Fast-forward 11 years and all I want right now is to have Samantha underneath me so I can taste every inch of her beautiful body and see once and for all if she really is better than that damn cake...I snap out of my memories when Sam suddenly starts packing up her stuff. What the hell is going on? She is looking over her shoulder like she is expecting someone to pop out behind her and yell "Boo!"There is panic written across her face plain as day. Something spooked my Sammy! I don't like that at all. Samantha is supposed to be happy and ignoring me (well I don't want her ignoring me) while she sits her stewing over whatever the hell she was talking to whoever the hell she was on the phone with. Not packing up like she is planning on ditching me forever!"Sam, what are you doing?" I demand, trying to keep my own panic out of my voice. She can't leave me! I just got her back!"I... Ares I quit!" she breaths, trying to rush past me. I can see the tears in her eyes and they don't make

Rats

"You can't leave me Sammy! Not now! I need you!" I declare. My stomach is roiling in fear. Why is she doing this to me now? Now that I've finally gotten her where I need her to be. Right next to me. Right where I can keep her safe... and in my arms.Any moment now I'm going to freak out and have an actual mental breakdown. Did I do something? Is that why she is leaving me? How am I supposed to change her mind? Could I kiss her again and get her forget this stupid idea of leaving me?"I'm sorry, but I need to go," she states before tearing away from my arms and rushing to the elevator, and I'm right on her heels. I don't understand why she is acting like this, but I'm not letting her leave until she explains herself to me."Why are you doing this to me?" I demand the moment the doors close behind me. I have her pinned up against the wall. I'm pressed so close to her I can feel the pounding of her heart, and the panting of her chest. This really isn't the time to get a boner, but..."You

Roller-coaster

Sam's POVI drive through early afternoon traffic, trying to blink back my tears. I don't know why I feel so emotional right now. I probably shouldn't even be driving right now, I might get into an accident or drive off a cliff...I've been on a roller coaster today, and I don't know when I'm going to finally get a chance to slow down and catch up with all these messed up feelings.All night long I was nervous as hell to start working for Ares today. I was almost convinced I shouldn't even go into work this morning... But Ares promised to help me out of my debt. It wouldn't seem very grateful if I didn't at least give it a shot. Honestly I thought I could handle working for him. I'd just work around him and ignore all his 'admirers.' I don't tend to work well with office sluts.Then I met James and he was sweet to me. Ares didn't seem very happy with how interested James was in me. But really, I was flattered. If I'd had a boyfriend like James... Well, I would not be complaining of ho

The Text

Now I know better. I'll have to figure something else out. Ben's gonna be pissed, especially if Ares calls him and tells him I ditched on the first day! But they just don't know! I can't go back!Not after that text I got. If you don't leave Ares alone, your life will be a living hell. I will be watching you bitch.It wasn't that specific, and I have no idea who sent it, but if the rat was any indication, they were serious. I didn't know what else to do. Now that I left, I still don't know what I'm going to do. I still have the damn stack of bills that won't be magically erased any time soon.I didn't mean to accuse Ares of the rat. I know he wouldn't do something like that. I was just so damn pissed off! He wasn't letting me leave like I was told to do, and I hated the fact I was being chased away. Whoever the hell sent that text has no clue what stresses I've been going through, and the fact that Ares had offered me this job had been a blessing in disguise. They just wanted me to le

Mine

I can't just sit here listing to her make fun of me. I had an actual point of calling her. I still need her help and advice. If I needed to be laughed at I'd call Ben!Speaking of Ben, I should introduce the two of them... I'd bet my life Marcie would whip Ben into shape."But I can't stay there, Mar! After he kissed the hell outta me, I left him... and he chased me-" I start rambling."Of course he did!" She completely cuts me off. "He did practically tell you he's been wanting you for years?" She giggles like a loon. "Didn't he tell you he didn't want you to quit?""That's not my point! My point is someone is out to get me, and if I go back, something bad will happen!" insist."Well, maybe? How do you know even if you leave him they won't follow you? How do you know they aren't bluffing? What if they just wanted to spook you so they could have Ares all to themselves?" Marcie hounded me with questions I didn't want to think about."I just don't know what to do? Maybe I should pack up

Long Night

Sam's POVI can't stop thinking about Ares. His arms wrapped around me. Hips lips hungry for mine. His words claiming me as his. His scent engulfing me, making me so dizzy. His completely dominant presence anchoring me to him. His fire burning through my veins... All of him inside my mind, playing over and over again like some broken record. I don't know what to do with it all.And this time I'm not scared of him. I'm not angry with him. I don't want to slap that smug grin off his face. I don't want to hurt him like I had for so long. Maybe he actually did grow up. Maybe he's finally learned that hurting me isn't going to get him what when wants.I'm so damn confused. All my emotions are a mess right now. I'm on the verge of crying and pulling my hair out. I also want to curl up into a ball and just sleep. My heart is pounding in my chest, and it's painful. I'm sure something is going to break at any moment. I'm lonely, and I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad thing. I feel li

Threats and Promises

I've been up since 5 this morning, trying to figure out what to do. I know he wasn't bluffing when he told me he'd come and get me. He doesn't bluff. He makes promises. But he doesn't know about the text. He doesn't know someone in his company is trying to get rid of me... Of course I just made it easy for them. I don't know when I've become such a coward... I didn't use to be.I actually need this job. It's not something I did just to entertain myself. I didn't do it because Ares owns the company. I did it because I'm literally drowning in debt and my brother practically dragged me there kicking and screaming.The thing is, Ares isn't a bad boss... He just gets distracted. I wonder if I'm one of his distractions. There are lots of pretty faces in his office, and I'm sure he's seduced at least most of them... unless they were married and could manage to resist his charms... Honestly, I don't know how many women could do that.And yesterday he was very distracted when I told him I coul

Dizzy

“Sammy, you have no idea how long I’ve wanted you... How long I’ve been obsessing over your lips. Why the hell do you think I pushed you away from me all those years ago?" He'd murmured against my skin.Is that the truth? He pushed me away because he wanted me? Does that even make any sense?I'm so damn confused right now. I have no idea what to believe!I finally pull into the employee parking lot and shut off my car."What am I doing here?" I ask myself out loud. "Trying to take care of my future," I answer myself.I make doubly sure my car is locked. I don't want another dead animal in my car! Yesterday I almost had a panic attack. Thank God Ares got rid of the thing! I couldn't even look at it! I knew it was dead, but what the hell was it doing in my car?I make my way through the lobby completely ignoring the daggers Jen is sending my way. I have no idea what went down with her and Ares (and I really don't want to know) but she's been super bitchy since she left his office.I mak
