MAGNETISM

Ava looked at Ares in hopes he would stop the madness, but his gaze remained on Angel.

"You heard the girl, Ava. Get up. Rules are rules," Athena said.

She slowly began to rise up, but still kept her eyes on Ares, waiting for him to change his mind.

After everything that had happened between them, especially in the last week, she felt like she deserved for him to stop this madness by drinking.

She straightened up, still, he didn't make a move to stop her.

Heavily disappointed, and even almost at the verge of tears, she moved to an empty seat, and sat down.

The tension in the room heightened as Angel rose to her feet, and with her gaze still resting on Ares, walked up to him.

Everyone in the room watched their movements in both silence, and fascination.

She arrived before him, completely under the influence of the spell of the moment.

Reaching for her waist, he gently pulled her down, until she was sitting on him.
