Ares' gaze found Jodie again as he listened politely to Lucy's pathetic excuse for taking him unawares with her sloppy kiss. Kyle and few members of his elite warriors were engaged in several conversations around them, ready to escort Lucy from his presence should he command it.
He ground his teeth together as Coby leaned in close to Jodie, his lips hovering precariously close to her ear as he murmured to her. She laughed and his ears picked on the seductive sound over the music and the loud conversations in the air.
Coby's fingers drifted over her arm, lingering there much longer than Ares thought appropriate. He swallowed the surge of anger that bubbled up in his throat when Coby caressed her cheeks and trailed one finger dangerously close to her lips. Jodie smiled and leaned toward him as if seeking his touch. He angled in and pressed his lips very softly to the expanse of skin just beside her plump lips.
"That's enough, you bastard," Ares growled.
