Heir’s Redemption

Chapter 44

I ended up taking a quick shower and was surprised to fine everything I would need to doll myself up. There were different shades of foundation, along with the most expensive makeup that a girl could asked for.

I wanted to relish in the feeling of getting dolled up and being pampered, but the feeling was absent.

I was nervous.

Something was wrong, all of this was wrong. It just took me longer to realize it because I kept choking on the pain that has been suffocating me.

I mean, I willingly left with Aries without any guards or protection.

Why the hell would I do that?!

I don’t know Aries intentions, only that he wants to pursue me for some wierd reason—I mean he doesn’t even know me.

I made the last finishing touches on my makeup, layering a thick glob of red matte lipsticks on my lips.

I sighed out, as I stared at myself.

I looked pretty, but I didn’t feel pretty. If anything, I felt like I was dying inside—necrotic flesh slowly eating away inside of me.

If I was being honest with myself, I missed Rámon—I missed him so much.

But I couldn’t forgive him, not yet.

Flashes of memories of him shielding Veronica replays in my mind on a loop. The way he held her, protected her and chose her over me, haunts me.

The way his eyes lit up at the mention of having a son, broke me completely.

He said he would always love me.

He said he would never leave me.

And he said he would never lie to me.

Seems like he broke all of his promises over a child that wasn’t even his.

When I found out, it broke me even more. Rámon ruined our future over a child that wasn’t even his.

Who the hell does that?!

I promised myself that I would move on from Rámon, no matter how much I loved him. I owe it to myself to find something new in my life—a man who isn’t gonna abandon me over a w***e who was just scheming against him.

Maybe that was why I was so keen on getting to know Aries.

A knock at the bathroom door interrupted my thoughts.

“Coming.” I called out as I stood to my feet from the vanity and answered the door.

Aries stood in the doorway, looking sinfully handsome in every way.

His piercing blue eyes always held this dangerous darkness that made me want to pursue him relentlessly until I found out every dark secret he held inside.

His sharp jawline and dark hair was seductive, along with his tall stature that always seemed to complement him even more.

“I was just coming to see if you were ready yet.” He spoke out as his eyes traveled down my robe that was partly open in the front, giving him a perfect view of my cleavage.

I pulled my robe closed, making him smirk before his eyes met mine again.

“Don’t cover up on my account.” He mused, “I would love to finally see what you look like without all of those clothes on.”

“Such a gentleman.” I rolled my eyes and shoved him before walking past him into the bedroom.

He chuckled before turning around and watching my every move.

I brushed my fingers over the silk of my gown, relishing in how gorgeous it was.

At least he had good taste.

“Sorry to rush you, but we need to leave.” His voice brought me back to reality, making me take the gown out of the bag.

I turned and faced him, noticing he was still here watching me.

“Do you mind?” I asked, knowing I needed to drop my robe.

“Oh come on.” He mused, “Scared to show me what’s underneath.”

I scowled at him, not liking him trying to bait me.

“I’m not scared of anything.” I argued, making his smug smirk deepen.

“Are you sure about that?”

Without a second thought, I untied my robe and let it drop to the floor. My bare breasts were on display, along with the black lace thing that I wore.

My skin shuddered while chills ran down my spine at the way his blue eyes stared at me. I watched as his eyes roamed down my skin, leaving sparks in their wake.

His gaze was hungry—primal even.

I stood there, frozen in place—it was like his gaze held me captive, leaving me a prisoner to his own thoughts.

I watched as he took slow steps towards me.

“So beautiful.” He rasped out before he reached out and pinched one of my hard n*****s.

His large and calloused hand fondled my breasts and roughly squeezed them, making me release a breathless moan.

“Perfect.” He whispered as he leaned in and brushed his lips against mine, “Your so f*****g perfect.”

I lost all sense of control as I softened my body, moving towards him to steal his body heat.

He wrapped his arm around my waist and took my lips in a passionate kiss. When he pulled back, his lips were covered in my bold red lipstick.

His other hand pinched my n*****s before moving down my abdomen and to my warm core that painfully throbbed to be touched.

“I’ve dreamed about touching you again, for the last coupe of months.” He confessed softly as his lips nipped at my ear, “The way you came on my fingers was so f*****g sexy.”

I released a heavy moan as I threw my head back, letting him kiss and suck on my neck.

“I’ve even dreamed about being buried deep inside of you.” He rasped out before sucking on a sensitive spot near my collarbone, “I want to claim you and take you until you pass out.”

His voice turned primal as he pushed me back onto the bed. He climbed on top of me and thrusted his hips into my stomach, letting me feel his huge erection that was waiting to be released.

I parted my legs, giving him better access.

“Mhmhm.” His chest rumbled as his lips found my n*****s before he nibbled and sucked on them.

I got lost in his touch before remembering that the one who I really wanted to touch me, wasn’t here.

I snapped my eyes open and shoved Aries off of me. I covered my breasts and looked away, knowing this was all such a bad idea.

“I’m sorry.” Aries gritted out as his jaw ticked in frustration, “I shouldn’t have crossed those boundaries if you weren’t ready.”

His words ment something entirely different from the way he was looking at me—it was like I took his favorite toy away, committing him to a life full of misery.

Aries picked up my gown that got thrown to the floor in our passionate endeavors.

“Let’s get you dressed.”

I stood up and stepped into the gown with the help of Aries. He zipped it up behind me, lingering his fingers over my bare shoulders.

His touch felt nice, but calculated—as if this was much more than a way to release steam or find pleasure.

He wanted something from me—something that I wasn’t gonna give him.

Aries walked off and disappeared into the closet. He came back out, seconds later, holding a pair of expensive black Prada heels.

“Sit down.” He told me as he knelt to the floor in front of me. I listened to him and took a seat on the bed.

He grabbed one of my feet and put the heel on before kissing my ankle softly.

I couldn’t help but tense, not expecting his actions.

I watched as he did the same thing to my other foot, leaving another kiss against my ankle.

“I know this may be too much for you.” Aries spoke out as he looked up at me, still kneeling in front of me “But I promise that I will break all those walls down that you have up. You will be mine, one way or another.”

To some women, they may have found comfort in his words, but for me, I only found hinderance.

I didn’t want to be chained down by a man, especially not Aries.

“Shouldn’t we get going?” I asked, breaking up the tense silence that spread between us.

A flicker of something dark flashed through his eyes before he put on a dazzling smile—erasing any sign of the darkness that I just saw.

“Yes, we don’t want to be late.” He beamed with excitement before he grabbed my hand and helped me up.

I followed him out of the room, feeling cautious of this whole situation.

What the hell did I just get myself into?
