The Devil CEO's Contract Wife

Chapter 286: Close Call [2]

Ares’s lips brushed mine, but he didn’t kiss me. “Yes.”

When his lips covered mine, I lightly pushed him by the chest.

“L-Lets give it a little time first… I mean…” I wrapped my arms around his neck. “I still want you all to myself.”

Ares smiled.

I can’t afford to be pregnant right now. I’m not geared up for the idea of risking my life and that of our baby.

“Tempting…” His hot breath brushed my ear, and I sighed. “But I want your belly round before the month’s end.”

“W-What?!” I rasped when his hand glided up my thigh until I was exposed. I had hurriedly put on a nightdress that I didn’t have time to wear anything else.

My heartbeat raced when the sharp clang of his belt coming off filled the air.

“H-Honey… we decide this together as a couple, not the other way around!”

“Are you saying you don’t want my cock?” He unzipped, and for once, horror filled my lungs because the feral look in his eyes was unpaired.

Desire flickered on mine too, but I quickly shook it off. I sucked in breath when he hooked his arms at the back of my knees and hurled me close. I could feel the heat of his cock.

My hands braced on the cool surface as I spread-eagled wide.

“A-Ares, we can’t—”

“We can worry about that later… right now I wanna fuck you.”

“And get me pregnant!”

Thrust!

I groaned, my body bouncing with that simple thrust. Simple was not the word to describe it, if it feels like he’s ripping me apart!

I flashed my eyes open, heating consuming me, and like I was starving, I encased my arms around his neck and kissed him feverishly, moaning in his mouth as he thrust in and out of me without giving me a chance to adjust.

Pure pleasure zapped through me as I tried to somehow diminish the effect with mouthwatering kisses, but it does nothing, and I’m towards the edge.

Ares groaned when he pushed far deeper, the lower section of my body swallowed up by the intense sensation.

“H-Honey…” I tried to force the word out as I held him close. “Your phone…”

It had been ringing.

Ares didn’t give a shit, picking up the pace, but it became a nuisance, and his thrust halted abruptly just when I hit climax.

“What?” he asked sharply, pausing for a while as I heard the speaker vibrate.

Whatever it was, it seemed important, because Ares’s mood shifted instantly.

“I’ll put you on hold.” He dropped his phone and kissed me wildly for a solid two minutes before redrawing his cock, and I groaned.

“I’ll be right back. Stay right here.” He zipped up his pants, grabbed his phone, and left.

I waited until he disappeared to the second floor before I grasped my phone.

I knew Athena must have blown my phone up with calls, which is why I put it on silent. I kept my eyes fixated on the path as I dialed her number.

“Cat!” she voiced.

“Hey…”

“Are you alright? Are you hurt?”

I lowered my voice. “I’m fine, I made it to the penthouse on time, thank God. What about you? Are you okay?”

“Why are you breathing heavily?”

“I-I’m not.”

“Yes, you’re. Like you’re speeding toward something.”

“I’m fine, just…” I released a breath. “I almost got killed tonight, and I need to know who sent those men after me…”

“Well, Ares is your best chance for that information, because one of the assailants was caught. The poor dude was dizzy.”

That must be the person I hit with the decenter.

How am I gonna find who sent them now? It’s not like I could just walk straight up to Ares and ask him.

“I’ll call you back…”

“Cat…” She stopped me before I could end the call. “This is getting dangerous. Now you have enemies, and not knowing who your enemies are is the worst position to be in. You might have connections now, but you’re not invisible or bulletproof.”

“I knew the risk the moment I got involved with the underworld.”

“Listen to me, Cat…”

“This is what I have to do.”

“This is not some destiny shit, alright? I know you wanna protect Ares, but there won’t be any that if you get yourself shot!”

“I’ll call you back.”

“Don’t you dare—” I ended the call before she had the chance to speak.

I pushed off the counter, and the moment my bare feet met the floor, I almost lost balance. My earlier release had yet to come off me, goosebumps rising on my skin as I felt a pulse between my legs.

I chewed the inside of my mouth as I forced myself to move, hurrying up the stairs. It was only when I got to the corridor that I slowed down.

I neared Ares office.

“What else…?”

I shivered at his lifeless tone. I peeked at the door, which was slightly ajar. I spot Ares standing close to the desk, phone to his ear.

“What name did you get out of him?”

He must be talking about the assailant he captured. So fast? They must have tortured the daylights out of him.

Ares released a breath. “Yes, I expected this. Vixen has been feeding me vital information; now my Grandmother wants her dead.”

Grandmother? That old bitch. Of course, it made sense now.

I carefully backed away, heading to the room as I dialed Athena’s number.

“Good news, it’s your fucking grandmother.”

“How is that good news?”

“It’s time to act now.”

“Cat…” she said in a warning tone. “Ares probably has a plan, and he already has everything under control.”

“I know that, but he’s gonna need all the support he can get. He just recently wasted his inner circle and everyone who was controlled by his grandmother.”

“Still a bad decision if you ask me.”

“He made a statement…” I corrected. “He has proven to them that under no circumstances will he be wrapped around his grandmother’s fingers.”
