Aspen Pov
How in the hell I have control over myself right now is f*****g amazing. I don't know if I want to punch Hades in the face or drop my towel and beg him to f**k me. I'm standing in the doorway of his bathroom wrapped in a towel, speechless, pissed and turned on to f**k. He walked into his room holding my sleeping daughter and gritted out in a deep, sexy, commanding voice 'Why the f**k are you in my room and put some damn clothes on'. Speechless because if a man so much as touched Mia awake or asleep, she would know about it and she would not be sleeping in a man's arms. Pissed because of the way he spoke to me, turned on because of the command in his voice. Hades is fit as f**k, with medium brown shoulder-length hair that he normally has tied back. The amount of times I've had to stop myself from pulling the tie out and running my fingers through it is ridiculous. His stunning green eyes could have me transfixed for hours if I let myself. His body is an absolute work of art. From his neck to his waist he is covered in tattoos. Every inch covered and stretched over his muscles and man does he have muscles. From the waist down, I haven't seen anything well, not in the flesh anyway. Fantasy oh hell yes. As much as I find the man sexy as f**k and in his forties, I know nothing could ever come of the dirty thoughts and fantasies I have for so many reasons. When I first met the Devil Riders MC through my best friend Lilly, I could see how much of a family they were. Over time I started to see them as my family. I have no idea when or how it happened, but I started to see Hades in a totally different way and my body started reacting to him in a way I knew it shouldn't.
"Aspen" Hades said, holding my chin between his thumb and finger and tilting my head up, so I'm looking into his stunning green eyes.
"Hmm" is all I could come up with as I'm still too shocked to find words, apparently.
"Babygirl, you're in a bedroom with a man wrapped only in a towel. Why are you in my room?" he said as his eyes dropped to my lips. How I wish I knew what his felt like pressed against mine.
"Covered food, Lilly here" I mumbled, licking my bottom lip and, apparently, now I can't even form a damn sentence.
"Try again, this time making sense" he said, and I moved my head to the side because I couldn't bloody think with him so close and touching me.
"Stop" he demanded, holding me more firmly and my eyes closed as a shiver ran through my entire body, not from the cold but from his tone of voice.
"Why are you in my room?" he asked.
"Twins fighting over food, and it spilled on me. Lilly said you wouldn't mind me using your shower and room to get changed” I mumbled.
"Where are your clothes?" he asked as I opened my eyes and the hunger I saw in his must match the hunger in mine.
"On your bed" I whispered.
"I don't mind you using my bathroom, but from now on make sure you are dressed before you walk out of it" he said, sliding his hand across my cheek and around to the back of my neck. It was then that I realized his other hand was on my hip.
"Why?" I asked before I could stop myself, eyes closing again, trying to control my body's response to him.
"Because when you have your clothes on, at least it's not as hard for me to want to strip you naked, eat your p***y then f**k you" he whispered in my ear, shocking the s**t out of me.
"Hades" I lightly gasped as he placed gentle kisses on my neck. My eyes snap open at the feeling and that's when I see we are now in his bathroom, door closed and my back up against it. How did we get here like this? I have no idea, I don't even remember moving.
"Tell me to stop or punch me away Aspen" he whispered in my ear, but I cant tell if he really wants me to or not.
"Do you really want me to?" I asked.
"In another life, no. We know this can never happen between us" he whispered, and at this moment I'm wondering why the f**k not. All the reasons why have floated away.
"PREZ" someone shouted as they banged on the bedroom door.
"s**t, Mia" I said, and Hades quickly pulled away from me and opened the bathroom door and walked out.
"That never happened" he said, walking back in not even 30 seconds later. He looked pissed off. He put my clothes on the sink and walked back out, closing the door behind himself.
"Never happened my ass", I mumbled as I dried my body and got dressed. Waiting a few more minutes so I could get my body under control, I made my way to the door. When I walked into Hades' bedroom, Lilly and Mia were the only ones there.
"Rage needed to talk to Hades", Lilly spoke and that is when I realized Mia was still asleep in Hades' bed.
"How did you know he was here?" I asked a little worried and now feeling like s**t. Lilly is my best friend and Hades is like a father to her. She would f*****g hate me if she knew what had just happened. Lilly told me how Mia ended up with Hades outside and that he brought her to his room to sleep. I could tell there was more she was not telling me, but I didn't want to ask as I was still trying to process the fact Mia willingly wanted to be held by a man.
"She felt safe Aspen. She even touched his scar like she does the ones on your back," she said. Something is wrong, I can tell by the look on her face.
"Lilly. What's wrong?" I asked, walking over and sitting on the bed.
"I'm sorry Aspen, Rage knows about your dad" she mumbles.
"He knows I'm not going to do what my dad wants, doesn't he?" I ask.
"Of course he knows that. He just needs to speak to Whiz and get all the information on your dad so they can have a plan ready just in case," she said.
"I told you I had it handled. I'm not marrying the bloke and my dad cant force me to. The MC don't need to waste time on this," I say.
"Family Aspen. We are family. Your dad is a prick, but some of the things he has said to you have worried me. If Hades or any of the guys found out about this without you telling them, they would be really pissed and think you don't trust them," she says, and we both sit in silence for a while.
"I know you're right, Lilly, I just don't want you or anyone else to think I'm using you all," I said.
"No one will ever think that Aspen. You are one of us and so is Mia," Lilly says, sitting next to me on the bed.
"Stubborn f*****g i***t" Rage says, walking into Hades' bedroom.
"Fucker" Hades replies as Rage gives him a strange look, then smirks at him while giving him the middle finger.
"I'm claiming Aspen as my old lady", Rage declares. A second later he is on the floor with blood running from his nose. Broken I think from the punch Hades just gave him.
"Like f**k you are. Aspen and Mia are mine and no one. I mean no one, not even a brother, will take them from me." Hades gritted out as he crouched down and got right into Rage's face.
"Finally, all you had to do was say so not break my damn nose," Rage says.
"Say what now" I say, looking between Hades and Rage. Then I looked at Lilly and she had a huge smile on her face.
