Alyssa The first thing I felt when I woke up was a pounding in my head It was like a little hammer was hitting the inside of my skull over and over again. “Ahh” I hissed in pain squeezing my eyes shut against the morning light coming through my window as I tried to sit up but I felt weak I had to fall onto my pillows with a groan. Fuck! Hangover! Little by little the memories from last night came back to me. The bar. The loud music. The strong drinks I gulped down one after another. That man with the slicked-back hair grabbing me his hands all over me one that had tried to take advantage of me. And then… Ares. I don’t remember much of what I may have said to Ares but I do remember being so running my hands all over his face and telling him he was a beautiful old man. Oh my God. Alyssa what have you done! My whole face burned with embarrassment. I had made a complete fool of myself. The door slipping open snapped me out of my train of thoughts and I flinched, pull

Alyssa The training session after that just got worse. My mind was a whirlwind of feelings I couldn't control, I was angry at Damon, at myself and embarrassed by Ares and so, so turned on by his closeness that I couldn't think straight. Every time I tried to focus I just felt his chest against my back again his breath on my neck.Ares didn't make it easy. He kept pushing me harder and harder. He would throw a punch and I would be too slow to block it. It wasn't a hard hit just a light tap on my arm or my shoulder but it was enough to show me I was failing.He was so fast so strong and so completely in control while I was a stumbling flustered mess."Focus Alyssa!" he barked his voice cold. "You're leaving your right side open every time a real opponent would have broken your ribs by now.""I am focusing!" I snapped back my voice shaky with frustration."No you're not," he said easily dodging another weak punch from me. "You're in your head. You're thinking about your ex husband

AlyssaI was lying on my bed the phone pressed to my ear. "I just don't know how much more of this I can take Sophia," I whispered my voice lased with tiredness."Every day it's something new. He humiliates me, he throws my work in the trash and today... today Rachel was there in his office and they both just... they made me feel horrible." I felt a fresh tear slide down my temple into my hair.Sophia's voice was comforting on the other end. "Alyssa you have to get out of there. That job isn't worth your sanity."My stomach growled loudly interrupting my self-pity. I hadn't eaten dinner. "I know I know but it’s not like I have a choice.” I sighed.“What do you mean?” She asked.I let out a sigh knowing couldn’t tell her at least not yet, “I'm starving… let me just go find something to eat I'll call you tomorrow, okay?"We said our goodbyes and I hung up dragging myself out of bed.I padded barefoot down the staircase and headed towards the kitchen thinking I'd just grab a piece of fru

AlyssaI stood in front of my mirror staring at my reflection. Marcus had finally convinced me to go to the stupid party, he said that Malakai might be there and didn’t want us to miss out the opportunity of seeing him to find out what he looked like.So I had to go.I had no choice.I put on a simple black dress. It was not too fancy but it was elegant It hugged every curve in my body in a nice way.I gave myself one final look in the mirror and took a deep breath before headed downstairs.When I got to the foyer Ares was already there waiting for me. He was wearing a black suit and he looked so handsome it was hard to breathe.His eyes moved over me from my head down to my feet and they lingered for a second I saw his jaw tighten.I walked up to him a small smirk on my face. "See something you like?" I asked my voice teasing.His eyes those icy blue eyes met mine. "Don't let it go to your head princess," he replied his voice a low gruff growl. "Let's go."The car ride was quiet a

Alyssa The car ride home was completely silent but the tension from the party felt like a thick fog inside the car, I wanted nothing but to get away from him, his presence felt suffocatingly hot.I needed to breathe air that wasn't filled with his scent with the memory of his arm around me and his lips on me.As soon as the car stopped in front of my house, I didn't wait for him. I pushed the door open and rushed out, heading straight for the front door, my heels clicking loudly on the pavement."Alyssa."His voice stopped me cold. Fuck! No please. I turned around slowly in annoyance."What?" I snapped my voice shaking. "What do you want Ares? To give me another lecture? To tell me how irresponsible I am?"He took a step towards me. "No.""Then what? Do you want to tell me more things you've been hiding? Like the fact that you have a daughter?" The words burst out of me. I had been holding them in all night ever since I found out I couldn’t even wrap my head around the fact… it
