Ares had been a complete gentleman the entire morning. Only small touches here and there when he showed me newcomers in their glass vivarium. I’d quickly favorited a Green Tree Python. The vibrant color and its gentle approach astounded me as it curled around its own tree branch.
Ares literally tamed snakes. Even though he’d been bitten by more than one, he was unfearful and disciplined but especially calm and caring. A side of him I’d never get tired of watching.
But it came to a point where his politeness tampered off. Specifically, when our shifts ended.
My back smacked his car when he crowded me at The Zoo’s parking lot. I palmed his chest, finding his solid, comforting heartbeat racing. I still wore my rain boots. Never thought I’d get freaky in them, but if Ares flung me in the backseat with the idea of fucking me in only these, I’d oblige instantly.
“I wished I could rip off your panties and bite your clit for being this pretty.”
Oh, holy jalapeño.
“What if I don’t wear any?”
He jerked me against him. “You really expect me to behave when you say things like that?”
He swallowed, and I waited for him to kiss me. Shifting his stare from my lips to my eyes, the pleading in his gaze was obvious. He used to take it, demand it whenever he felt like it. And now I wished he’d just kiss me already.
Instead, his forehead settled onto mine as he took my arms and threw them over his shoulders. The proximity had me on a buzz earlier, but this made me want to peel off my skin.
“It’s everywhere. Nearly unbearable,” he whispered, eyes closed and scowling. Silver popped when he opened them again with a pained insecurity. “You feel these tingles?”
My belly was full of them. “Yes.”
“I’ve had them when I first saw you dance with Cary.”
“At the wedding?”
“At the wedding,” he confirmed.
I uncomfortably shifted in his arms. “But I broke your car.”
He laughed shortly through his nose. “And that’s what made my dick hard, Dita.” His fingers stroked my backbone. “This. You defied me in any way possible.”
“Of course.” I rolled my eyes, but smiled anyway. “Me kicking your junk is your kink, huh?”
He chuckled then quickly became serious again. He thumbed my lower lip and let it bounce back. “I never thought I’d find a woman from whom I’d have to ask for permission. But here we are, and I am asking, pretty please, if I can kiss you.”
“Pretty please, do.” I cupped the back of his head and guided him closer. A small peck at first, but as usual, that wasn’t enough. With both of his large palms between my shoulder blades, he drew me breathtakingly close and kissed me. Actually kissed me like a girl was meant to be kissed—roughly, animalistically. Punishingly.
It had been so long he’d taken something from me. Unapologetically. As if he was the rockstar and I, his addiction.
It was a darkening night sky where stars aligned, and the guy that didn’t know how to keep his hungry eyes off me all night, inhaled me like I was his last breath.
I fisted his shirt, sucking on his tongue as it plunged inside me. Our affection for each other was never truly romantic. Just carnal and maniacal.
And very much in plain sight.
My hand went around his wrist, leading his curious, wandering hand away from diving inside the back of my jeans. I kissed his jaw and went over to his neck, slowing him down.
“I cannot believe we withheld from doing this for so long,” he said it so fast it seemed one long word. “I haven’t even had the chance to check if you’re really not wearing panties.”
“You’ll get there, stud. Take me home.”
“That I’ll do.” He stroked my hair before he kissed my temple so sweetly I almost worried he had become a total softie. But then he opened the passenger door and threw me on the seat like I weighed nothing.
“Buckle up, sweetness, before I rip these leggings off and show the entire parking lot what’s underneath.” He winked and slammed the door in my face.
Rumpled, I blinked, ever loving the switch between his good and bad side, and left wondering if he’d act on his words whenever we reached his home.
