Darien had never felt so used. She was standing in the second bathroom looking at herself in the mirror. What had gotten into her? She had just said that she wouldn't sleep with him and she had done just that. She had slept with the devil. Her mind was now racing with thoughts of how she could slow this roller coaster down. She had to admit to herself that he had made her feel sexy. Desired. Wanted. Her skin tingled every time she thought of how he had driven her to that exotic place where only the sexually satisfied landed. Now she wondered how she would get through the rest of this "date" without wanting more of him.
Marcellus had showered and changed and was now waiting for Darien to come out of the bathroom. He knew she was hiding. He smiled to himself. He got an instant erection every time he thought of how it felt to be locked deep inside her. It felt like heaven to him and he wanted more. Everything in him told him that Darien would try to resist him for the rest of this date, but he would not allow that. He would be a fool to allow that. Now that he had experienced what had been the most mind blowing sex of his life, he wanted more of it. He wanted her with him, always.
Darien decided to quit hiding in the bathroom. When Marcellus heard her approach he got hot all over. Instead of taking her previous seat next to him, she sat on the other couch. Marcellus sensed her withdrawal. He attempted small talk, but her one word responses were grating on his last nerve, so he stopped.
Darien was sure most women usually felt privileged to be chosen by Marcellus, but she was not most women. She knew how dangerous this situation could be for her. She knew that if she slept with him again it would be over for her. She was not ready to make those types of changes. She wasn't ready to become just another girl to him. She had to be strong and stick to what she knew was right for her and her life. And, that life did not include being a mistress to Marcellus. She stole a look at him. He was staring right at her. She saw the heat in his eyes and swallowed hard. Then she continued to read the magazine that she had taken from the table next to her.
So, she was going to ignore him. That's what she thought at least. Marcellus laughed to himself. He had plans for her once they landed in Miami. He had not meant to bring her to the meeting he had planned, but knew once he tasted her this morning that he couldn't let her out of his sight for the rest of the day.
Possessiveness was a new emotion for Marcellus. He had been in relationships before, but this thing with Darien had him feeling like he needed to be a part of someone else's life. He had prided himself on no attachments. This included women and children. He had promised himself he would never marry, and he didn't believe in children being born out of wedlock. He knew Darien wanted a husband and children and a simple kind of life. He also knew he would never be able to give it to her, but he didn't want to let her go.
"We will land in Miami in approximately twenty minutes, so please buckle up." The pilot's voice came through the speakers and both Darien and Marcellus fastened their seat belts. Both continued to be silent towards one another.
When the plane landed Darien just followed Marcellus' lead. There was no luggage to collect, so that part was easy. At the end of the runway was a limo the driver opened the door, but Marcellus took her hand to help Darien into the car. A part of him just didn't want another man to touch her. She slid to the far side of the seat and made sure there was more than enough space between the two of them.
"Are you not speaking with me after all we have shared today?" Marcellus asked her.
It took her a minute to respond and when she did he was livid. "I am just trying to get through the rest of this date so that I won't have to ever see you again."
"Well, you are long way from home right now, so lets just make the best of it shall we."
"Whatever you say." She hated him right now. She hated how he made her feel. She hated that he didn't realize he had offended her by walking away from her after they had sex. She now knew where she stood. It wasn't as if she didn't know that before, but now it was confirmed. She was there for his pleasure, not hers.
The limo stopped in front of the most beautiful house she had ever seen, and it sat right on the beach. She stepped out of the car and Marcellus immediate clasped her hand in his. She felt that normal spark of electricity between them but ignored it. She walked along side him to the house. It was quiet. Darien didn't know what she had expected, but she didn't expect the quiet.
