I turned to the source of the voice, my eyes wide with surprise and pleasure. I approached someone who called me with a little run and we hugged.
“Benjamin! I squealed a little with joy, this is a happy coincidence, after a year we haven’t seen each other and haven’t spoken to each other. We hugged once more then he picked me up, and twisted my body under his arm I laughed.
“How are you? I’m glad we meet again,” Benjamin said showing off his sweet smile, he has tanned skin and slightly curly hair, white teeth and a sweet smile.
“I’m fine, I’m glad to meet you too, Ben, you live here??!” I’m just speculating, Benjamin shook his head still with a smile on his face.
“I’m touring several countries with my fellow dancers.” His warm and cheerful gaze hasn’t changed, it’s still the same as it used to be when we were still working together. I like his always friendly and kind attitude to me. His gaze shifted to another direction behind me, then I turned to follow his gaze and felt guilty for forgetting Sean, his expression seemed displeased he was standing not far from behind me.
“Ben, this is Sean, my husband,” I said with a shy smile at the mention of my husband, Sean walked over to us and shook Benjamin’s hand. He gave a smile that didn’t touch my eyes and my hunch was cloudy.
“Congratulations on your marriage.” Benjamin seemed to be trying to be nice, then we parted because a man called him to leave the Colosseum immediately. I looked at the back of Benjamin who looked away, one of the men who were quite close to me after Eden.
“Let him hug you hurts my ego.”
I turned to look at Sean I knew he would mind this, My Inner Goddess twirled her fingers nervously on her red sofa, her face down. Am I going to be punished for this??
“He’s just a friend.”
Sean raised his eyebrows trying to believe I felt, oh, no! The grumpy jealous lord is here. He then pulled my waist so I almost hit his front body then grabbed my chin with his thumb and forefinger.
“You have no idea how attractive you are, Ariana, you are like the flower the beetles love.”
His thumb gently caresses my lower lip and then he kisses me, I melt inside of me at that. He’s so sexy when he’s jealous, his teeth gently bite my lower lip and pull in the same way and then let go. My mind was clouded by the clouds of passion that slowly came.
“You’re mine, Ariana, and I don’t like it when other people touch mine.” His lips were right in front of mine, his warm, fresh breath caressing my face. My tongue seemed to be folded inside my mouth, I was paralyzed he knew my body well in just a short time. I just silently stared at her golden netra a seductive smile was printed on her face, my heartbeat could be heard in my ears.
“We have to go home,” he whispers and I get distracted. Go home?? Why?? We just arrived.
“I know you want me, baby.” He answered my unspoken question, my groin tightened with passion, he gave me a feather light kiss on my lips and pulled me out of the Colosseum.

I woke up with my body feeling stiff and weak. Sean sat beside me stretching out his legs which were wrapped in denim shorts and a dark brown Army print shirt, he looked fresh after a shower and I could never stop admiring him, his laptop was on his lap as if he was working. I move my body and struggle so I can get up and sit down, I keep the blanket position over my chest, after we leave the Colosseum, Sean and I have lunch at a restaurant and then go back to the hotel, he fulfills my desire to make love to him and I get hot sex punishment and wild for making him jealous, a punishment that made me want to do as much mischief as possible.
“What’s the time now?” I asked because the room seemed a little dark.
“Five in the afternoon,” he answered without looking at me, his attention focused on the laptop and his long, manicured fingers dancing on the keyboard, those fingers very skilled at their job of worshiping my body. The image of our romance a few hours ago flashed through my mind again, Sean was very intimate, wild and hot, I was completely under his control and I found myself resigned to it.
“We’ve got plenty of time to do that, Ariana.”
I flinched with her being able to know what I was thinking, My Inner Goddess snorted with a reproachful face and gave me a she-have-you-in-out look, I confirmed that too. I looked at the ring finger of his right hand which was wearing an engraved platinum ring, our wedding ring, and I was proud of the patent sign of ownership, My Inner Goddess smiled proudly.
“Caroline called while you were asleep, I talked to her,” Sean said and my mind was wondering why she called me but I guess I can ask later after I shower.
Getting out of bed, I didn’t see anything I could wear, the clothes I wore this afternoon weren’t scattered anywhere, maybe Sean had kept them with his clothes, only this blanket I could use, but this thing was thick and heavy, I had to endure the feeling I embarrassed and walked away wearing nothing, with a hasty step towards the hanger that hung my bathrobe, I glanced at Sean who was currently looking at me with a smirk, then rushed into the bathroom. When I looked in the mirror, my eyes caught a red mark on my neck and then I quickly pulled up my bathrobe at the top, how surprised I was by the red marks scattered at several points on the neck to around my breasts. Damn it, Sean! He shouldn’t have tagged me this much, this is outrageous, I took a deep breath in anger then let it out with a snort, this was embarrassing.
I quickly took a shower and tried to scrub the red marks, I had to talk to him about this. I use shampoo and soap at the same time then rinse it off quickly. Sean is still where he is, I look at him through the dressing table mirror with an angry look. I distract myself by drying my hair, after that I went to the closet, I was desperate to see my clothes are mostly open at the top.
“Everything is alright?”
I snorted at his silly question, do I look okay?? I felt hopeless and angry with red marks on my neck and chest.
“Ariana.”
“Do you have to do this?”
I lowered my bathrobe over my breasts and stared at him intently. Sean was surprised then his expression turned cautious when he looked at me. I chuckle in annoyance to see him silent, a little relief fills me when I find my light blue shirt among the others, Thanks God, at least I don’t have to lock myself up until this mark fades. I quickly put on my underwear then faded blue jeans, and finally my savior light blue shirt.
“Sorry.”
I was a little affected by his words that sounded sorry but sorry didn’t seem enough, I walked away from him back to the dressing table, Sean followed me and wrapped his arms around me from behind.
“Please, don’t be mad at me.” He pleads and my anger evaporates, I exhale heavily.
“That’s not proper for a grown man like you to do, I mean you... this is embarrassing.”
I turned to look at him, he flashed an apologetic smile that made me even more angry at him.
“You know the effect you have on me, you drive me crazy.”
My Inner Goddess was hugging herself while throwing her body left and right, I could greatly affect not only me, but her as well. My hands are on my hips and looking at him with despair, this man has a lot of mental problems it made me think to see doctor Merlin soon, maybe I can get a clue about this behavior.
My cell phone rings, I approach the square thing on the nightstand, it’s Caroline. I immediately got out of our room and walked towards the balcony, the sky was getting darker, the view of the Venetian skyline was amazing.
“Hi, have you heard about your car?”
