Chapter 6: Show Me

"I was so close before you rudely knocked on my door," Vanya muttered after she lifted the covers and decided to give Ares a show.
He flung back his head and groaned, unable to believe she had agreed to show him what she had been up to right in front of his eyes. He had some pretty wild thoughts about her touching herself, and seeing her do it in front of him was just pure pleasure.
Vanya focused her gaze on him before slowly inching her nightgown up. Her hands slid to her hips, snagging on the thin straps of her panties.
Ares swallowed. He couldn’t believe that this was really happening.
And he was already hard. So fucking hard.
Vanya  tugged her panties down, lifted her other leg with the thong dangling from her toe, and tossed it aside. Ares gasped, the towel around his waist falling to the bed. His cock hurt just thinking about her playing with herself in her bed while he was in the shower.
"Ah…shit…" Vanya hissed and stroked herself gently, her eyes burrowing into his until they reached his cock. At the site of his erection, she bit her bottom lip.
He smirked and continued to watch her hiss at each stroke of her fingers as she alternated massaging her clit and sinking her fingers deep into her slippery folds.
"I was imagining you were stroking yourself in the shower," Vanya said on a low moan, sounding breathless and raspy.
Fuck! How could I not touch myself after hearing that? Ares thought. So he curled his fingers over his cock, working himself up as Vanya began to tell him about her fantasy about him.
"Continue," he urged her.
"You..." she said, licking her lower lip. "You were humming as the water hit your skin," she breathed, reaching with her free hand to grope at her breast, causing Ares’ own breath to catch in his throat at what he was seeing.
"And then?"
"And then… I took over for you, taking your cock in my hand," she continued, her words slurred with the pleasure she was enjoying.
"Oh, that’s so hot, Vanya," he groaned, unable to even help himself at this point. "Go on."
"Then you took your hand," she breathed, "and slid your fingers between my legs." She pushed her fingers back between her legs as she spoke, moving her hips up and onto her palm, groaning even louder as she rode out her own pleasure.
"Shit. You have no clue how hot you are right now," he told her as she began to pant deliciously for him.
"I’m close, Ares."
He was painfully hard now, and he really needed to come, but he also wanted to hear how her fantasy concluded. More importantly, he wanted to see her make herself come. "Oh, I know, Vanya," he assured her as he moved his hand around his cock, from the base to the tip. "Continue…"
"Then you dropped to your knees and ran your tongue over me…" she paused, taking a deep breath, "you started licking me…ah…" she cried out, spreading her legs further apart, and it took every ounce of self-control he could muster not to sink his hard rock length deep into her wet slit.
"Ares, please," he soon heard her beg, her hips rocking upward, and meeting his gaze as he stroked himself.
"What is it you want, Vanya? Say it."
"Please," she begged again, and he looked at her intently, pretending as if he had no idea what she was asking. "Don’t fucking play with me now. You wanted to lick me to the point where I forgot who I was. Remember?"
With a smile on his face, Ares slid between her legs and breathed in her arousal. While she was practically dripping for him, his wolf growled.
His tongue darted out to barely graze her folds, tasting her wetness and nudging her clitoral area with the tip of his tongue. She slightly squirmed forward into his face, begging him to dive deeper. So, he wrapped his arms around her thighs, anchoring her to him, and began to lick her vigorously, his tongue moving through her folds at a dizzying pace before sucking hard at her soft folds.
 Vanya grasped his hair with both her hands, threw her head back in surprise, and let out a long, guttural moan. "Fuck... Ares...more…please," she begged, tugging at his hair, her thighs shaking.
Ares squeezed her ass, digging his fingers deep into her flesh. His nose rubbed and nudged against her clit. He loved the way she shivered against him. He pushed his tongue deep into her and sucked her clit into his mouth.
Unable to squirm away from the onslaught, Vanya began to pant in pleasure, her head thrown back as her hands crinkled the sheets beneath her, her hips writhing and grinding toward his face. He felt more slickness leaking from her, felt her swollen flesh pulse under his tongue.
When her cries had become too loud for their own sake, he slowed down momentarily, planting a kiss on her inner thigh.
Vanya moaned, gnawing at her bottom lip. "Ares…please…"
Her plea sent shivers up and down his spine. He began stroking her again with his tongue while delicately dragging a hand down the back of her ass and between her legs so that he could softly slip a finger into her while eating her out.
As soon as he started pumping two fingers into her, she wiggled and murmured his name. His fingers penetrated her deep and hard, stretching and opening her up, eliciting an even louder moan from her. Her walls tightened, and he sucked her hard as he clamped his lips around her clit.
"Ah! You’re fucking driving me crazy with that mouth!" Vanya’s hips arched towards his face as she gasped and cried out. Though she really ought to control her voice, Ares would be lying if he said he didn’t like the way she writhed and cried with each sweep of his tongue and each of his fingers hitting her sensitive spot.
He raised his head for a brief moment, his fingers moving with his thumb at her clit. "Are you close?"
"Yes. Don’t stop. Make me come, please."
When he realized she was only a few seconds away from her orgasm, he let go of her clit and removed his fingers.
"What the fuck?" Vanya’s voice cracked.
A possessive snarl rumbled in Ares' throat as he slid up to hover over her, tangled one hand in her hair, and forced her lips to her mouth, kissing her deep and hard. She gasped, raising her unsteady hands to his large shoulders as she fought to keep up with him, aggressively kissing him back.
He let go of her and whispered, "I promised you I’d lick you in the woods until you forgot who you were. In the woods, Vanya. Not here, in your bedroom."
"Asshole—"
"Hold still." He pushed in, nudging Vanya’s entrance with the tip of his stiff cock. Then she reached between their sweaty bodies, cupping his balls before stroking her thumb up to tease at his tip. He moaned. He couldn’t say anything else while her skillful hand pushed him over the edge. As his length glided between her slick folds, he let out a loud groan. She began to massage his erection while teasingly rubbing her clit with the head of his cock. "You like that?"
Vanya nodded.
"That’s what I adore about you, Vanya. You know what you want, and you go for it."
He rocked his hips forward, eager to surge into her and finally feel her tightly wrapped around him, but he paused for a second and gazed into her eyes. "Are you safe?"
"You didn’t—ah, this feels so good. You didn’t ask me that the other day," she breathed, struggling to form the words into coherent sentences with the way she felt his cock rub against her dripping slit.
"I know. And it was stupid of me," he told her sincerely. With his father’s constant reminder that he should reject Vanya, not to mention the possibility of her having a second or third mate—thanks to Moira and her visions—Ares had to be exceedingly cautious. But he couldn’t believe he let his cock get the best of him the other day.
"Well, don’t worry about it," she said.
"Are you sure?" he asked, his voice sounding strained. It was taking a lot of willpower not to slam his cock into her right now.
"I found some birth control pills in Selene’s stash. I stole some."
"Selene?"
Vanya laughed and nodded. "I know! It also makes me wonder who she’s been fucking with. I mean, that woman worships the ground you walk on."
"You’re exaggerating it."
"I’m not! She talks about you nonstop!"
Ares put a finger over her mouth. "Enough about her."
She smiled and bit her lower lip. He pushed his hips forward slowly. Pushing merely the tip of his cock within her, he saw how she shuddered at the intrusion. Then he slipped all the way inside her. Her moan echoed his as he felt her wrap around him, absorbing his entire length. He leaned forward and kissed her gently, parting her lips slowly as he began to move, filling her again and again.
"Ares, right there," she moaned when they pulled apart. "Don’t stop."
"Never. You’re mine, Vanya." His breath came out in short pants as he thrust into her, then rode her in long, slow strokes, concentrating on getting both of them to the edge.
"Ares, harder."
He took her hand in his, intertwining their fingers, and dragged it down the bed, continuously rolling his hips into her, working for what was sure to be an explosive climax.
"Ares," Vanya breathed, and a spark of electricity coursed through him as he realized how arousing it was to just hear her moaning his name while writhing underneath him, and taking his cock like it was her own.
Of course, it is hers. She’s my mate, after all, Ares thought.
"Faster, Ares. Faster, please," Vanya begged, sounding desperate for her release.
He sped up. She moaned and pushed higher, mirroring his pace with each thrust, shoving his hips into her. Then she reached her hand between their slick bodies and feverishly rubbed her bud with her fingers, desperately trying to get herself closer.
Ares quickened his speed even more. He could feel himself getting close to the edge as well.
"Fuck me faster, Ares. Please, I’m begging you." She reached her arms around him, digging her fingers into his ass, urging him forward.
The bed rocked furiously against the wall as he slammed his hips into her like a jackhammer, their hips meeting with such power that he was certain someone could be listening to them.
"I’m so fucking close." Vanya’s face was tight with concentration, her abdomen contracting and her breasts bouncing as he fucked her in desperation to bring them us both the release they sought.
"Fuck! Ah!" she screamed, unable to contain herself anymore. Ares quickly covered her mouth with his hand as she threw her head back.
"Shh…" Ares was so close, too, the familiar sensation intensifying at the pit of his stomach by the second.
Vanya tightened her legs around him and rocked back and forth against his relentless thrusting. He was hammering on her and pinning her to the bed, and she couldn’t get enough of him. Her entire body was suddenly on fire as she pursued her release.
"Oh, Ares," she moaned, her chest clenching and her entire body vibrating with pleasure as he rode her fast and hard. She sucked in a breath, and then she was gone. Her body quivered around him, and her core tightened hard around his throbbing cock, bringing him to the brink behind her.
Ares tensed and clenched his muscles until the heat soon intensified and washed through him. Their bodies rode out the high together. He gasped, groaned, and shuddered as his release spilled forth and into her. She moaned as he shuddered against her before pulling out and collapsing on his back.
After a moment, he glanced at her. She was still trying to catch her breath, her chest rising and falling with every breath she took. After fantasizing about her in the shower, he was supposed to tell her to stay out of the woods until he caught Killian himself. This wasn’t meant to happen tonight, but here they were.
"I had no idea you fantasize about me," he finally said after a few minutes.
Vanya reached for a pillow, lifted it up, and smacked him in the head with it before dropping it afterward. "Don’t push it."
A deep and throaty laugh left his mouth. Then he reached down and took her hand in his, locked his fingers with hers, pulled it to his lips, and kissed it. They stayed in silence for a while until he gathered her close in his arms; his wolf enjoying her sweet scent. Then she pushed away from his embrace and raised her head, using her arms to keep herself upright.
"How did you know?" Vanya asked, looking stunning with strands of her red hair poking in different directions.
He pondered her question before realizing what she was asking. "Because I felt you."
"That can’t be true. There’s no way you could’ve have sensed me when I…"
"I’m sorry to disappoint you, but it doesn’t work with me, Vanya," he whispered, eyes closing. "I’m sure you already know how connected we are."
"What do you mean?"
He opened his eyes and turned to her. "I’m sure you know what I’m talking about. You were there outside my door. You heard my father..." he paused when he noticed her surprised expression. "You’re my mate, Vanya."
She gulped. "Since when did you know?"
"Ever since the night the hunters found you."
