His Other Half

I was lying in bed with Ahsha curled up next to me as we watched Mob Wives. "Renee's ass is always crying," Ahsha mumbled. I chuckled. I loved watching tv with Ahsha because she was the type of person to talk to the tv. It had been almost a week since Ares and Ahsha fixed whatever issue they were having. That day when we got home the sexual tension between us was high and it's only gotten higher as the days ticked by. She paused the show before standing taking me from my thoughts. I watched as she pulled her shirt off and over her head. before removing her tights. I scanned her body straining to keep Ares at Bay. I watched as she put on some tight shorts and a muscle shirt. "I'm going to grab some more food. You want any?" She asked turning to look at me. I cleared my throat. "Yeah, grab me a water too," I told her. I went to use the bathroom and as I was coming out Ahsha was coming in. I tracked her with my eyes as she walked into the room and over to our bed. 'I want her.' Ares said darkly. 'I know. Me too.' I told him. I walked over to her leaning into her causing her to look up at me. I pressed my lips to hers slowly pushing into the pillow. I positioned myself between her legs pressing myself into her. I groaned when my phone started ringing. She giggled before kissing my forehead. "Go ahead and answer it." She said. "Speak," I said. "There is some guest here to see you," Jericho said. I sighed looking down at Ahsha seeing look at me curiously before a sweet smile graced her face. I sighed kissing her forehead. "I'll be back," I said before walking out of the room.

I listened to Jericho talk as I leaned against my desk. "Who is it?" I asked him "The Lavallette's." Jericho said. "They're there now?" I questioned as I shook my head. I could smell Ahsha at the door and I could see her shadow under the door. "Yes. It seems word has spread that you've found your mate." Jericho said. I sighed once again. "I'll be there shortly," I said hanging up as I watched Ahsha peek through the door. "You can come in," I said. She jumped and hit her knee at my statement. She gulped walking inside. "I—" She froze unable to form words. I finished typing a text before my eyes locked with hers. "Come here," I said. She stopped just in front of me. "I didn't mean to eavesdrop." She said. I shook my head. "I told you this is your home no room is off-limits to you. I do want to keep my work life and you separate. The things I do in my work life is a side of me I never want you to see or experience." I said cupping her face.

She nodded her head. "I understand." She said. I let out a breath as my shoulder relaxed. She looked up into my eyes as Ares came forward. "I don't want you to fear us." He said. She shook my head. "I don't. I understand that you have to do things for your job and I'm okay not knowing what those things are. I actually don't want to know." She said. Ares and I looked at her curiously. "I didn't meet you two as the big bad demon. Well, I met Ares as the big bad demon but that was a shit show. But you two know what I mean." She laughed. "I've only known you two as my overprotective, lovable and sometimes annoying mates." She said hugging us close as we wrapped around her.

I pressed my face in the bend of her neck as we stood in silence in our comfortable embrace. I found myself rubbing circles on her hips as she gently massaged my lower back. I groaned in annoyance as my phone went off again. "You should get going." She said kissing my cheek. I huffed. "I'll be quick," I said kissing her forehead. I grabbed my phone and jacket kissing her once again before I left.
