Aspen pov
I could pore a bucket of water over him. Only that would just wet my damn bed. I'm stood leaning against my bedroom door frame looking at the man fast asleep in my damn bed. Not only is he sleeping in my bed, he's f*****g naked sleeping in my bed. How the hell did he get into my house? The only other person who has a key is Rage. That little, well big fucker gave Hades my damn house key. Oh, he will pay for that. I'll have to think of a plan of revenge and the thought brings a smile to my face. When I woke up this morning, I felt his body against my back. His leg had slipped between mine and his left arm had my head resting on it with his hand holding my right breast. His right arm was resting on my hip with his hand between my legs cupping my p***y. I sleep naked because I feel comfortable that way. For a few minutes, I just lay there enjoying the feel of him, then reality settled in, and I very carefully removed myself from my bed thankfully without waking Hades. I won't lie to myself. I know I'm attracted to Hades and more times than I care to admit I have wondered what a life with him would be like. I know Lilly has said she doesn't have a problem with Hades and me being together, and I honestly believe her. It's not only about Lilly. There is Mia to think about too and dealing with this s**t my dad is trying to pull. Along with that, there is whatever he is planning and he is definitely planning something. The fact he is trying to force me to marry someone I have never met in a little over 5 weeks tells me all I need to know. I need to find out what is going on and there is only one person I know that can help.
"Time to make a call" I mumble to myself as I take one last look at the man asleep in my bed, then leave my bedroom. Walking into the kitchen, I picked up my phone from the counter and flicked on the kettle.
"I didn't think I would hear from you so soon" the male voice said as soon as he picked up the phone.
"Well, you gave me a lot to think about the last time we spoke" I replied. I got a call from Roman 3 weeks ago. A total stranger who had information about me and my life that shocked the s**t out of me. I still don't know if I believe what he told me, but he did say he can prove what he says.
"I know me calling and just dumping it all on you was probably not the best way to do things, but you have the right to know. If a stranger rang me and said all I did, then I would be thinking the same as you" Roman says.
"If what you have said is true and some part of me believes it is, I still don't know if I can trust you" I reply because I don't know the man at all.
"Have you got a laptop and is it close by?" he asked.
"Yes, I have one. Just give me a second and I will get it" I said, walking into the living room. My laptop is sat on the coffee table where I left it last night, still open.
"Okay just waiting for it to power on" I say.
"I've emailed you. Let me know when you have opened it" Roman says as I hear the shower turn on letting me know Hades is awake so I need to hurry this conversation up.
"I need to make this quick. I had an unexpected guest last night and I don't want him to know about this" I say and my laptop final wakes up.
"You in trouble? I can send someone to you" Roman says.
"I'm in my emails" I reply ignoring his question.
"Open the link" he says as I click on the email titled 'unknown' and the only thing it says is open. clicking the one word on the email I wait.
"Is that?" I mumbled, looking at the photograph in front of me. A little girl who looked just like me when I was younger sits on the shoulders of a man in his late thirties. A woman stands next to him with a bright smile on her face and standing next to her is another man who looks like the man with the little girl on his shoulders.
"Yes it is and the man not holding the little girl is me. Look at my right hand. What do you see?" Roman asks.
"A ring" I reply as I zoomed in and then gasped. The ring is almost identical to the one I found in an envelope addressed to me hidden in one of my teddies when dad moved me and my sister out of the house and into our own place.
"I need to go. I will contact you later today when I am alone" I say when I realized the shower had been turned off.
"Aspen" Roman says.
"I promise I will call you back. I just need a few hours to process things and I don't want people knowing thing just yet. Please just give me this time" I say.
"Okay, I will wait for your call" he replies.
"There is something you can do for me" I say.
"Anything" He replies.
"Find out who Mia's biological father is. I don't need s**t coming from him with everything else going on" I say putting the phone down and slapping the laptop shut as I noticed Hades leaning against the door frame. Nothing but a towel wrapped around his waist.
"Who was that on the phone" Hades asked looking pissed off.
"No-one," I said, picking the laptop up and walking towards the door, trying my best not to look at his very sexy and very tattooed body.
"Baby girl" he says, and I walk past him, trying my best not to touch his body.
"Hellfire, stop" he commands, and I stop dead in my tracks and look over my shoulder at him.
"Don't think I will let it slide the fact that you let yourself into my house with the key I trusted Rage with. Then getting into MY bed totally naked. That s**t is stalker material. You will both pay for it" I said to him as he stepped closer to me.
"Your body loved being naked next to mine. In fact, the second I slipped into your bed you pushed your body right up against mine" he said.
"Bullshit" I mumbled, but he was more than likely telling the truth. Whenever he is near me, my body just wants to be close to his. Awake, I can get hold of myself before I do something stupid. Asleep my body is free to do as it wants.
"Nope. You pushed your body right up against mine. That sexy fine ass of yours rubbing against my c**k. Took everything in me last night not to wake you up and bury my c**k deep inside that sweet p***y of yours," he said, backing me up against the wall and caging me in with his tattooed arms.
"We can't do this Hades" I say.
"Yeah, baby, we can, and we are" he replies, putting his index finger under my chin and tilting my head up so my eyes are locked with his.
"I can't do this, I'm sorry, Hades" I say.
"Nothing and no one will keep you from me, Aspen. Lilly is okay with us being together" he says.
"It's not just about Lilly or Mia. Some things are just about me and what I want, what I need" I say, and then stop before I say too much.
"Baby girl, trust me, I will give you everything you want and need in all aspects of your life" he mumbles.
"I'm sorry Hades, I've got too much going on in my life right now. You need to let this go, let me go. Find a woman, f**k her and move on. This, us, can not happen" I say. If what Roman said is true, I have a feeling s**t is going to get bad, and I will not bring Hades, the MC or their family into it. As soon as the words are out of my mouth, Hades has his hand wrapped around my throat in seconds and my panties are drenched.
"Hmmm, there she is" Hades says with a smug look on his face as he looks into my eyes.
"You want me as much as I want you, Aspen. You belong to me, every single inch of your sexy body is mine. Not even you will stop me from having what's mine, my woman, my Hellfire, my o'lady" he says in a hard voice and I can feel my body starting to cave. I know at some point I won't be able to stop what is going on with us but until I know the truth about myself I have to at least try.
"Now who were you talking to on the phone?" he commented.
"Roman Gancayco" I mumbled, not able to stop myself. With the stunned look on Hades face and the fact his hand dropped from my troat. I manage to slip away from him and a few minutes later I'm driving my car toward my daughter.
