Unholy deal

"I despise you so fucking much that I want you to be sent off to the other side of the world, Athena." He takes his last step, his front pressing against my back, pushing my pelvis into the counter. "But I also need you as much as the air that I breathe." His breathing is hot against my neck, but I take it upon myself to turn around, place my hand on his chest, and push him just a step away from me.

"Well, I guess that's a problem. Cause without it, you'd die." I look up at him and take another step forward, backing him away, my hand still warm against his chest.

"Are you implying that I can't live without you?" His voice is dark and cold, but it makes my skin grow hot, and a tingle runs down my back.

"Oh no, Ares. I'm suggesting that even if you try to hold your breath as long as possible..." I slide my hand on his shoulder to push myself up enough to whisper closer to his face. ".. you'll always let the air back in, in the end."

Ares Moreno is a pain in my ass.
Our paths are unfortunately bonded together with no escape. He found his place in my life and is not getting away any time soon.

We never liked each other. Never even dared to have a casual conversation. That would be a blasphemy.

But somehow, along the line, he changes. His attractiveness does something to me. He makes my blood boil to the point where I want to kill him. But his looks and his unsustainable behaviour don't help when I'm in deep need of attention, sexually.

But the biggest problem of all...

He is marrying my best friend.
