Kill for Love

Chapter 2 - The Best Friend

“Bestie!!!”

Cytherea and Ares were so shocked when they saw Athena, Cytherea’s best friend, in the hotel's lobby where they were staying.

They've known each other since they were in kindergarten. They were classmates. They get along so much to the point that they both have the same likes and dislikes. Since then, they remained friends even after they had their own busy professions.

Athena hurriedly went to her. They both squealed out of excitement and hugged each other.

She was so thrilled to see her best friend. It's been a while since Athena and Cytherea had a vacation together or been in the same place. Though she understood that Athena is a model and has a hectic schedule. 

"What are you doing here? I thought you couldn't make it?" Cytherea broke off their hug and was smiling at her widely.

"I know, right? It's just that the project I'm working with has been completed earlier than expected, so here I am. Besides, I miss you so much, Beastie." She looked at Ares, who was just beside her, looking at them. "Hey, Ares. How are you? Looking good, huh?" She smiled and winked at him.

Ares, who was always friendly with Athena, suddenly looked serious. He smirked and looked like he was irritated about something.

"You're not bad yourself, Athena." 

For some odd reason, Cytherea felt an uncomfortable vibe between the two.

"Are you both okay?" she couldn't help but ask. The tension in the room was palpable.

Athena shrugged and smiled.

"Of course. However, I think Ares doesn't want me to be here because I'm surely going to steal…" She paused for a moment and looked at Ares again intently. "...your time for him."

Cytherea laughed. She thought it was hilarious for Athena to say that. She knew that Ares can be very possessive and can be jealous sometimes, even with Athena. There were times that Ares forbade her to see Athena because he wanted to spend more time with her. She was not bothered by his action; instead, she finds it cute.

She faced Ares and hugged his waist. She tilted her head upward so she could take a look at his face. She was already tall with the height of 5'8", but Ares was way taller. He stood 6'3". He had the bluest eyes she'd ever seen. She always felt lost in his eyes whenever she looked at them. His roman nose emphasized his authoritative look and thin lips, which always looked like it was begging for a kiss.

She lovingly smiled at him. She even giggled when he saw him pouting.

"Aww... Are you jealous again, Babe?" she teased.

He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and kissed her passionately on the lips. She willingly accepted it and responded with the same intensity, not minding the people around.

Athena coughed to get their attention.

"Oh my, God! Hello? Single here and please get a room." she annoyingly said.

Cytherea let out a hearty laugh and broke the kiss-off. Ares grunted. He didn't want the kiss to be over, but he had no choice. So, he just kissed Cytherea again on the forehead but didn't break the hug.

"C'mon, let's go to our room. We had so much to talk about. I'm wondering why you're not in a relationship yet. You should get a boyfriend, you know?"

The three of them walked towards the elevator and went inside as soon as it opened. The lovers were holding their hands.

"Well, I still haven't found the one. Besides, I'm not in a hurry, and most importantly, I'm happy being single," Athena cheerfully answered.

"Well, what can I say? As long as you're happy, I'm with you, Bestie. By the way, where are you staying?"

"Oh, in this hotel too, just a floor below."

The elevator dings when they've reached the fifth floor. They immediately got out and went inside the couple's occupied room. It was not too far from the elevator. Ares took the key card from his wallet and opened the door. He let the ladies enter the room first before he went in and closed it.

"Wow, what a coincidence! Oh wait, how do you even know we're here?"

Cytherea took off her shoes and put them on the shoe rack, which is just beside the door. The others did the same.

The room was so big. It has its own living room and kitchen. There were two rooms as well and a common bathroom.

She went to the couch and flopped down. Ares sat beside her and put her legs on his lap. He gently massaged it. She was wearing jean shorts, so it was not hard for Ares to do it. She really appreciated how Ares took care of her. Every single day he never failed to show her how much he loves her.

Ares is indeed a package deal.

"I-it seemed like you forgot, Beastie. You are the one who told me." Athena stammered a little bit.

Cytherea furrowed her brows. She couldn't remember the time that she told Athena that this would be the hotel they'd be staying at. But she just shrugged it off. Maybe she did tell her, and she had just forgotten about it. Surprisingly, Ares was just quiet the whole time.

"Oh, wow! I just noticed that there are two rooms here. So, you two are still not staying in the same room?" Athena was in awe. She couldn't believe that there's still no s****l relationship between the two. They've been together for years now. She secretly smirked.

"No, wonder…" she thought.

"And there's nothing wrong with that, Bestie. Besides, that's why I love this guy so much," Cytherea paused and touched Ares' face gently. "He respects my dispositions in life and stays faithful to me."

"Oh… you're a lucky gal indeed, bestie. A man like Ares is hard to find." Athena looked at Ares, who was looking sharply at her. "Tell me, Ares. Are you really faithful to my best friend?"

"Of course. I love her." Ares answered.

"Aww, I love you too, Babe. By the way, you can stay here with us, Bestie. We can share my room. I bet it's going to be lonely all by yourself, so why not sleep here instead? Besides, we have so much to talk about. It's been a while since the last time we had slept over, you know?"

"Sounds great! But is that really okay? I mean I'm up for it, but it seems like Ares doesn't like the idea."

Cytherea looked immediately at Ares and caught him frowning. He looked like he disliked the idea so much but didn't utter a single protest.

She thought Ares just wanted them to be alone, that's why he was wearing that expression.

"Can she, Babe? It will only be for tonight. Tomorrow, I'm all yours. I just miss my best friend, please?" She begged, clasping her fingers, hoping he'll be okay with the idea.

Ares sighed in defeat. She couldn't say 'no' to his beloved girlfriend even though he despised the idea.

"Fine. I'll sleep now, Babe. Remember, we need to be early tomorrow for the tours, and please, no drinking." He lifted Cytherea's leg so he could stand up and gently put it on the couch.

He went closer to her and kissed her on the lips.

"Good night, Babe."

"Good night, Ares."

He just nodded to both of them and silently went inside his room.

It was almost 2 AM when Cytherea finally went to sleep. She had so much fun catching up with Athena. In fact, she didn't want to sleep yet, but she had no choice. She had to wake up early for the tours.

On the other hand, Athena was having trouble getting to sleep. She missed one person, and she wanted to be with that person so badly. She tried counting from one to ten to stop the urges but to no avail.

Cytherea was already sleeping peacefully beside her. She slowly got out of the bed and was trying so hard not to create any sound. She unhurriedly went to the door and opened it.

She was in so much glee when she successfully got out. She closed the door gently and bit her lips. She knew that what she's about to do is very wrong. Now, she understands why a lot of people prefer to do it, and that is because of the thrill and excitement.

She went to the other door and tried to turn the doorknob. She grinned widely when she realized that it was not locked. She pushed the door open and locked it when she got inside.

It has been a while since he got inside his room, but up until now, he is still wide awake. The time is now 2 AM, and he is still restless. He went inside the bathroom and decided to take a cold shower. He thought that maybe it would help him clear his mind. A lot of thoughts were bothering him and Athena…

Athena was bad news.

He hurriedly finished the shower. He went to the cabinet above the sink and took a towel. He wrapped it on his waist and took another one to dry his hair before getting out of the bathroom.

He was surprised when he saw Athena inside his room. He even heard the sound of the door being locked.

"What the f**k are you doing here, Athena?" He hissed. He tried so hard not to yell at her, afraid that Cytherea would hear him.

"Hey, lover boy. Didn't you miss me?" she said, ignoring the anger in his voice. She seductively went towards Ares and looked at him from head to foot, admiring his physique.

"Whatever you want, I'm not interested. So, please get out of my room before Cytherea notices that you're gone." He turned his back on Athena and walked towards the closet, completely ignoring her.

Athena smiled and didn't even falter at Ares' roughness. She knew exactly how to tame him. She did it a lot of times, and not even once was he able to resist her charm.

She took off her clothes until what was left was only her skimpy underwear. She walked towards Ares and wrapped her arms around his waist. She was making sure that her embrace was tight enough for Ares to feel her naked twin peaks.

She knew that this gesture alone was already enough to set Ares on fire. And it did. Ares stood frozen.

"Athena…" he whispered. His inner thoughts were sending warning signals, but his desires were too powerful. No matter how many times he told himself it was wrong, his lust was overpowering him. His body no longer listened to him. It seemed like it had a mind on its own.

"Shh... I know you want it, Ares. Don't resist it. Let me take care of your friend down there like I always do." She licked his right ear and traced his six-pack abs with her hands.

She took the towel off from his waist and let it fall on the floor. Ares groaned. He was anticipating Athena's next move.

She kissed his back and gently grabbed his length. She slowly stroked it while continuously kissing his back and grinding her peaks.

His length hardened. He closed the closet's door and held Athena's hand to break free from her touch.

Athena thought that Ares didn't want to do it with her anymore; that finally, after five years of having a s****l relationship, Ares had the courage to say no. But she was wrong. Ares pushed her to the closet's door and kissed her passionately. He was like an animal losing its control.

His kisses traveled from her lips to her neck, down to her breasts. Athena couldn't help but moan. She missed Ares a lot. It's been a month since the last time they did this because of her work. She had to go overseas.

She grabbed Ares' length and slowly stroked it again. It earned a groan from him. He started nibbling her n*****s which sent shivers to her spine. He looked like a hungry baby who had been starved for decades.

He went further down till he reached her cunt. Athena's breath was already uneven while waiting for his tongue to touch her private part, and even with her underwear on, it was not a hindrance for her to feel how warm and wet his tongue was.

"Ahh… Ares…" she moaned.

Athena held the door handle as Ares kneeled in front of her. He put her left leg on his right shoulder and moved the panty on the left side to get more access to her cunt. He started nibbling her c******s and then licked her labia.

"Oh, my… That's so good." The sensation she was feeling was killing her. She grinded her hips on his mouth as lust took over her body. She even used her right hand to push his head closer to her cunt.

Her lips widely parted as she felt her climax coming. Ares continuously sucked and licked her clit till she got her released.

She hadn't recovered yet to the mind-blowing orgasm when Ares stood up and carried her. She immediately wrapped her legs around his waist.

Ares felt Athena's juices on his abdomen. It almost made him lose his control, and he wanted to take her already. He laid her on the bed, and without further ado, he took her.

"Ahh…" he couldn't help but moan. He always loved the feeling of being inside her. The warmth of her p***y was so satisfying. He started to ram her p***y hard like there was no tomorrow.

"Um, yeah, that's it, Ares. f**k me more… Ahh…"

Athena's moans were like music to his ears. It made him want to thrust deeper and harder. Athena just continued on moaning. She no longer cared if she was too loud or not. She just hoped that Cytherea would stay asleep while they were doing the deed.

"Are you safe?" Ares huffed as he continued to ram her insides. He already felt his climax, and he wanted to fill her with his c*m, but he had to make sure first.

"Umm… y-yeah, fill me with your c-c*m, Ares."

He spread her legs widely so that he could have better access to her cunt. He held her legs and leaned them on his shoulders. He was thrusting faster and harder. All Athena could do was moan and held on the sheets tighter as she felt her juice coming. After a few plunged, Ares felt his release.

Athena thought that was the end of it, but  Ares helped her get up to her surprise. He sat down and leaned on the headboard. He held her hand and guided her to sit on his lap.

She instantly knew what he would like to do, so she obediently obliged. She took his phallus and led it to the entrance of her p***y. It was a mouthwatering feeling that she let out a long moan.

"Ride me…" he commanded.

He held on to her waist as she started riding him. Her lips were partly open because of the intense sensation she's feeling. He then started to pay attention to her erect pink n*****s. He put one in his mouth and gently sucked it while toying it with his tongue.

Athena bit her lips to contain her moans. She likes it so much when Ares sucked it and gave them attention. She grabbed his hair and pulled it closer to her boobs. 

"Ahh…" she whimpered as he gave attention to the other n****e.

"Damn, you're so good. f**k!" Ares changed their position. He made her crouch down on the bed. Her hands and knees were supporting her weight. He started ramming his c**k inside her p***y from behind.

"A-all yours, Ares. Ah!" She gritted her teeth due to the overwhelming pleasure that he was giving her. She thought she was having ecstasy because of it.

He grabbed her hips and continued to hammer her. He f****d her until he felt her juices squirting and him shooting his sperm inside her.

They both laid on the bed, panting. Her legs were shaking, and she was freaking tired still. A smile formed on her lips. She never regretted that she somehow betrayed her best friend. If this was the only way she can be with the man she loves, then so be it.

"We should stop doing this, Athena," after a few minutes, Ares said. He got up and took her clothes on the floor and handed it to her, not minding that he was still naked.

"How many times have you told me that, Ares?" She smirked and took her clothes from him. "You always said that, but every single time I touch you, you can't even resist me." She started to put her clothes on. She was very pissed.

'After the mind-blowing s*x, he now wants to dispose of me?' she angrily thought.

"I mean it this time. You're pretty, Athena. I'm not just the man for you. The s*x is great, and I appreciate your company. However, I can no longer betray Cytherea. I love her so much. I don't want to hurt her anymore. You're her best friend."

She let out a sarcastic laugh.

"Seriously, Ares, after five years of f*****g me, you just realized it? Don't you just blame it on me because no matter how hard I seduce you, nothing will happen if you're not a willing victim." She didn't let him respond. She was so hurt that she hurriedly left him.

She went to Cytherea's room. As soon as she shut the door, a tear fell from her eye. She thought there was a big chance that she could have Ares; that s*x will be enough.

"Athena?"

She was startled when she saw Cytherea sitting on the bed. She immediately wiped her tears. She got scared by the fact that Cytherea might hear their lewdness earlier.

"I-I thought you're already sleeping?" She stammered. She was so nervous.

"No, actually, I just woke up. I was thirsty, and I was planning to get some water outside. Why are you crying?" She got up and walked towards her. She wiped her tears away and hugged her.

Athena couldn't contain her sobs. She returned her embrace and cried even more. The pain she was feeling was so unbearable. She had an unrequited love, and maybe this was the price she had to pay for betraying her best friend.

"Tell me, what happened? Is this about the guy you told me before? The one you're in love with but only wants casual s*x?"

"Yeah… he broke up with me. He said he wanted to be faithful to his girlfriend." She remembered telling Cytherea about the affair she was in, except for the fact that the guy was Ares.

"I don't have any right to blame you or condemn you about your choices in life, but I hope next time you fall in love, make sure that the guy loves you for you and not because of the mind-blowing s*x you gave him. Know your worth, Bestie." She frowned.  "Though honestly, he's a jerk. I hope her girlfriend finds out and leaves him." She gritted her teeth out of annoyance. 

"I was wondering, what if Ares did something like that to you? What will you do?" Out of curiosity, Athena asked.

"Hmm… if he does, I will never forgive him. I will break up with him. He can go to that other woman for all I care."

Athena looked at her intently. She was contemplating if Cytherea was really in love with Ares.

Cytherea seemed to read what she's thinking. She smiled.

"I love Ares, and it will hurt me so much if he does that to me. However, I know my worth too, Bestie. No matter how in love I am with him, cheating is unforgivable to me. Because if he really loves me, he will not find someone else to fill his s****l needs."

Athena contained her sobs. She’s feeling guilty because if Cytherea finds out, she will be the reason for their break-up, but at the same time, she couldn’t let Ares go. She was in such a deep mess.

'I'm sorry, Beastie, but I love your man.' The words she wanted to say but remain untold.
