"Y-You thought about that...?"
"You have a habit of eating little bits of food. It’s getting too much."
"So you want me to finish all this?"
"If you can."
I tried to ignore the warmth spreading on my chest about his genuine attention to my eating habits, but I couldn’t. It made me happy he was this observant.
I grabbed my cutlery and began eating, but I had no intention of spending it in silence. I’m sure Ares does too because he was yet to eat and just eyed me like a predator stalking his prey.
"You observe my eating habits, and you know everything about me. I can’t say the same for me about you."
I took a bite, licking my lips because the food here was heavenly, and none of it was going to waste. I used my finger to wipe the corner of my mouth and sucked on it, his blue eyes following every action.
"You know about me, babydoll."
"Do I?"
"We have been together for three years."
He was right.
In that timeframe, I got to understand him, his habits, his likes, dislikes, and everything that orbits around my devil boss. I was very dedicated to my work, and in a way, I knew him like the back of my hand. But...!
"What about the part that’s not the businessman I worked with for years? The Devil."
"It’s a private part of me."
"Am I not an exception to that?"
He tilted his head, and his eyes dropped to my nipples when my finger circled them.
"Considerable."
I rolled my eyes. "Fine, whatever floats your boat, King."
"Watch your tone."
"Or what? My ass suffers? It already has many, many times. I think it’ll be useless now. Pain can become passable."
"Who said anything about your ass?" He eyed me intently. "There are other ways to teach a bad girl."
I bit my bottom lip as I leaned back on the seat, trying to control myself before I do something impulsive, but it was a joke for me, knowing that was one of my top-tier traits.
"What else are you gonna do, honey?"
"I prefer not to tell, the heat of the moment is enough to."
"Like when...? Right now?"
"You’re testing me..."
I smirked. "Good."
Ares took his wine and sipped. "Little trouble, you’re forgetting something."
"What?"
"We’re on our honeymoon."
I struggled. "Which means we’re gonna have couples fun, right?"
A slow smirk curled on his lips, and my fingertips had sparks, but not in a good, good kinda way.
"You’re too far away... come here."
I gulped, pushing to my feet.
"Don’t walk."
"Don’t..." He clenched his teeth. "...make me gag you until I feel like hearing you speak again."
"I touched you, Ares..." I spoke softly in spite of his threats. "My lips touched you too... It’s kinda hard to forget something like that. Mistake or not? Anger or not, it did happen."
