Xenia's pov
Suddenly I felt him smiling on my skin when he heard my soft moan. Leaving a butterfly kiss on my neck, he pulled back and said in a teasing tone, "Look at you, you were all acting like a furious rabbit down there, and now you turned into a cat under my touch. What should I do of you now??"
Hearing him, I instantly opened my eyes and noticed his mischievous smile and golden eyes. Hitching hard, I realized how he made a fool of me! I immediately used all my strength and pushed him aside on the bed before sitting up, "How dare you to touch me?"
Ares smiled and used his hand to lean on the bed as he said, "My bed, my wife, how can I not dare??" He is a dictionary of words, and I clearly knew that I couldn't win against him. I have known him for years, and even though we have not talked for the last seven years, I still know everything about him deeply.
"What took you so long? I kept waiting for you for hours!" I could not help but point out as I noticed it was almost midnight.
Ares smirked and said, "Why? Are you that impatient to start our wedding night? Don't worry, I promise I'll keep you awake for the entire night."
"Gosh! How did you turn like this? And who wants to spend the night with you? I wanted to talk about this.
Ok, no one is here, so let's talk about what happened in these two days. I know you hate me, then why did you bother to marry me? Let me guess because the Moon Goddess will snatch your power if you go against her, so you silently married me, and now you'll have tons of girls outside the house.
And secondly, since we are not in love, there's no need to share a bed. Since you're the greatest LYCAN KING who won't take the couch, I'll sleep on the couch.
And another thing." I stayed silent for a few seconds before looking into his eyes as I continued, "I know this marriage is not formed out of love or affection, but till we are together, I promise to stay loyal to you. I will give my all to this marriage and to the wolves as their Luna.
I'll... I'll try my best to be a good wife." Even though my words didn't contain a tiny bit of love, but I wish he knew that I was sincere. Because back then, he never needed my words since he always said my eyes were crystal clear for him to read.
Both of us kept staring at each other when Ares scoffed and said, "Tell me one thing, how many novels did you read? From where is having a mistress outside come between us? I'm the Alpha of Alphas; of course, I need to be modest enough to be their icon.
And about the bed part, are you afraid that you can't control yourself from coming under me??" He said with a teasing smile, making me roll my eyes at him, "In your dreams."
"Then why do you need to sleep on the couch? Don't worry; your body is not my type, so I will not pouch on you until you seduce me." Ares said and started taking off his shirt, Which he had taken off halfway before getting on top of me.
"Even you're not my type. I don't know how the moon goddess mated me with you! And I will sleep on the couch. I don't trust you! If you can leave me at my worst, you can also betray me with your words!" I said my last words with a deep meaning which I know didn't go unnoticed by Ares, who ignored me as I walked inside the Bathroom.
~Ares's pov- As soon as she closed the door of the Bathroom, I sighed helplessly and turned towards the door with soft, gentle eyes as I wanted to scream, 'I never wanted to leave you,’ but these words got stuck into my throat, as there's no point over thinking of the past when now I need to think about our present and future with you my dear Wife (end)~
Inside the bathroom, I took a long breath as a lonely drop of tear slipped down through my eyes because the more I thought about the past, the worse my heart ached.
'No, you promised that you won't cry for him any longer. You need to stay strong to get to the root of his motive behind this marriage. You're strong, Xenia.' I told myself in my mind and wiped my tears.
Finally, after getting cleaned up, I opened the closet when my eyes almost popped out after seeing the dresses which cupped over half of the cupboard.
There was all kind of dresses, from daily wear to Party and ball gowns. I noticed that they all are my size.
'What's the point of so much care when you couldn't stand by me.' I laughed at myself and opened the other cupboard and took a pair of nightdresses.
"What the fu*k is this? Who did pick out this nighty??" I was left stunned after seeing how revealing my nightdress was! In fact, all the dresses were the same. My boobs were almost on the verge of popping out of the dress.
"Agh! I can't even take his T-shirt as he will think I like his scent. Even though I do like his scent, but I can't let him know that. Gosh! I have to spend my first night like this." I kept staring at myself in the mirror for around thirty minutes before walking out of the bathroom with my hands over my chest.
I sighed in relief after seeing the dark room as Ares had already gotten changed and slept on his side, keeping the other side empty.
'Scoff* did he think I'll sleep next to him? NEVER!' with that, I took a pillow and lay down on the couch.
After 2 hours
It's almost 2 pm at the clock, but still, I am just moving left to right as I can't fall asleep on the couch. No matter how bad Leonor treated me, my room was like a little heaven to me, and now I can't fall asleep without the bed.
Finally, I took a breath and walked near the bed with my pillow without any option, and I noticed Ares was sleeping peacefully on his side with his head buried in the pillow.
Biting my lips, I slowly kept my pillow on the bed and took the side beside him as a smile crept on my face after feeling the warm and soft bed under me. But even before I could turn around abruptly, a strong arm sneaked around my waist with a face near my head.
Ares softly murmured, "So now you don't have a problem sharing a bed with me?" I can feel just by his tone that he's smiling.
I actually thought he slept, that's why I thought to sleep for a while and leave before he could wake up, but s**t! Without saying anything, I just adjusted myself on the bed and closed my eyes, ignoring Ares.
While he again smiled against my arm and murmured, "Good Night." I didn't reply to him, but I wondered....
IS IT A DREAM???
The next morning
By the time I opened my eyes, the warm sunlight had greeted me.A smile crept on my face, and I opened my arms as I had a great sleep yesterday.
"Good morning." A soft tone wished me good morning.
I smiled and sat on the bed, "Good Morn_" but I stopped on the way when I noticed Ares was standing in front of the mirror with just a piece of a towel wrapped around his lower part and his toned eight-pack abs are on display making my eyes go wide!
"Close your mouth, Mrs. Wright, I'm afraid you'll droll over our bed," Ares said after seeing my face. Hearing him, my cheeks instantly turned red in embarrassment, and I immediately moved my eyes off him.
"W..what are you doing in a towel? Did you forget You're married now??" I complained in irritation.
"If my wife can sleep on the same bed as mine, of course, I can walk around on a towel in front of her!" Ares said again, making me slap my head in defeat.
"You're so shameless," I said and got off the bed as I couldn't bear to see him in this state for longer, or else my excited hormones will surely embarrass me in front of him like how I was literally ogling at him like a creep a few moments ago.
But even before I could reach the bathroom halfway, I suddenly lost my balance because of the rush move, and I was about to greet the cold floor when suddenly I felt Ares's chest in front of me as he tried to hold me but.....too late.
I landed on his lower chest with my hands over him, and a soft, painful winch left my mouth as my legs landed on the floor, but just my hands were over him but wait.....why is his body so hard, long, and warm?? I hold it a little tightly and it felt warmer.
I thought and turned towards Ares and noticed him staring at me with dark eyes making me blink as I was wondering, why he's so hot? Didn't he just take a shower?
Thinking that, I looked at my hands, and the moment my eyes landed on my hands, I gasped hard as I felt my soul telling me goodbye and leaving me because
I.AM.HOLDING.HIS.DI*K
Yes, my right hand is over his little pet, and I dared to squeeze it a few seconds ago. I was frozen in shock with my eyes glued on my hand and his hard rock-like pet because I was too stunned to move my hands off it until I heard his low tone, "If you don't have any intention of pleasuring my di*k, then please leave it."
