• Of course he followed her in - it was like she had cast a spell on him, and he wandered in, closing the door behind him. He hadn't meant that lovers remark, of course, he had set out from the beginning to treat her like more than a body. (NT) -- Angelo, 11:08:57 02/05/04 Thu

  ---

• *She made no response to him being in her room, not carrying that she was barring all. Instead she moved calmly to her walk in closet which she entered and began to search for something to change into.She pulled on a tight fitting speghetti strap tank top, that showed off her cleavage. Not bothering with any underwear she tied a bright orange sarong around her hips.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:11:47 02/05/04 Thu

  ---

• He settled himself in the chair beside her bed that he'd inhabited a couple of weeks earlier, when he'd issued the invitation that had turned everything around. Frowning, he noted bruises on her - no doubt from Adrien. "Was he angry the night that I took you out?" (NT) -- Angelo, 11:16:10 02/05/04 Thu

  ---

• *She shrugged coming out of her room, moving to the bar at the side of her room, pouring herself burbon, looking at him to see if he wanted any.* "Nothing I couldn't handle."*The bruies on her arms were slight, and luckily she was able to cover the cut and bruise on her lip with lipstick. Thinking of this she passed a quick glance to her mirror to see if the pool had warn any of it off.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:19:21 02/05/04 Thu

  ---

• He nodded a bit at her offer of the alcohol, and leaned back in the chair. "I suppose you'll handle everything right up until he puts you in the hospital?" (NT) -- Angelo, 10:34:36 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *She poured him the drink bringing it over to him, her own drink in hand.*"What are you trying to say exactly?"*Fine brows arched in question. She sat down on the edge of her bed, one leg crossed over the other, sarong falling open to show off those lovely long legs.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:36:45 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "That what he does is not alright." He didn't speak with much force - he knew the more emotional investment he had in it, the more cynical she would be. (NT) -- Angelo, 10:41:11 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *"Oh? And what is it that he is doing that is not alright?"*She asked, a look of bewilderment on her face though she had an inkling of what he was trying to say, but she was denying the truth of it.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:43:12 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He took a sip of the drink she had brought him, and savoured the flavor for a moment. "Controlling you, manipulating you.. and hurting you when you don't comply." (NT) -- Angelo, 10:46:41 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *Anger came into her features.* "He does not hurt me!"*She stood to her feet glaring at him.* "Why does everyone think that?"*Shaking her head she walked over to throw another log onto the fire.* "And he doesn't need to manipulate me....I work for him willingly, I owe him much."* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:50:16 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He set the glass down on her bedside table and moved to stand behind her, so that when she rose to move away from the fire, he was in her way. He caught up her arms, lightly brushing his thumbs over the bruises on her upper arms. "What are these, then, Ariel?" His voice was not angry, he just questioned her, his low timbre soft. (NT) -- Angelo, 10:54:08 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *She was looking everywhere but at him, head down.* "He didn't do that on purpose...he's..Adrien's just a very passionate man...and sometimes his temper gets the best of him."*She looked up at him.* "He makes it up to me though..."*She looked away from him once more.* (NT) -- Ariel, 10:59:13 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He reached gently to tip her chin up, to look him in the eye. "There are passionate people out there who would never lay a finger on you.." (NT) -- Angelo, 11:02:42 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *"He just squerezed my arms...that is all..their is nothing vicious about that..."*She argued back. She wouldn't let herself believe that Adrien might be dangerous to her because then she would have to live in fear of what might happen.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:07:13 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "Oh bella.." His tone was caring, if nothing else. A hand brushed gently across her cheek - he couldn't get enough of her silky skin, and found himself finding more excuses to touch her. "What about this last week?" (NT) -- Angelo, 11:11:56 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *She bit her lip gently, large, dark mirrors looking up into his own.* "What about this week.....?"*Not quite understanding what he was asking.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:15:06 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• Her makeup could only hide so much - her eyes, of course, told him everything. "Surely you've been paying the price for your insubordination in going out with me.. and.. " Again he brushed her cheek. "When I saw you last, you were trying to cover a bruise with your makeup.. right here." His fingers traced there featherlight. (NT) -- Angelo, 11:17:23 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *A smirk came into her eyes.* "That is because I attacked Mariah....Adrien's little tramp of the moment...I hit her over the head with a vase..."*Yes, she had paid for those actions, but that hadn't killed the feelings of triumph from that moment. But yes, the bruises on her arms, the cut on her lip..those had come from her time out with him.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:20:28 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned a little bit at that, his lips pursed. "One way or another, that's not a normal thing for someone who is supposed to care about you to do." (NT) -- Angelo, 11:24:53 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *She laughed bitterly.* "Whoever said Adrien cared about me? Oh don't think I am stupid enough to think he loves me...I know he keeps me here only for his own benefit, the same he does for everyone. The only one he truly cares about is his sister."*Her eyes filled with cynasism.* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:27:31 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "I don't understand your logic, Ariel - why you stay here, no matter what you owe him." He shifted a little bit, he still had a gentle hand rested on her arm, the other lightly on her neck. (NT) -- Angelo, 11:30:46 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *Hard featured she looked up at him.* "And where do you suggest I go Angelo, I have no money. Off with you to who knows where? Or perhaps I should marry Atti like he wants and have him drag me off to Italy where I will be caged in by the old standerds expected for women?"* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:34:39 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• "If you promised to get out of here, I'd fund you - no strings attatched." He watched her - it was a wild proposition that would probably have him killed, but he didn't really care. (NT) -- Angelo, 11:36:35 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• *She stepped out of his reach.* "Fund me...no strings attached. Sorry...but I don't believe that. There has to be something in it for you, some reason why you want me out of her and would be wiling to just support me."*She picked up her glass, savoring the liquid.* "Plus...I don't know what kind of women you think I am, but I have never just taken a man's money. I prefer to earn it..even if it is doing osmething I hate."*She replied cooly. She knew she was shooting down possibly her only chance of escape...but maybe..maybe she didn't want out of her. But even if she did, she wouldn't become just a charity case, and she didn't trust anyone enough to believe "no strings".* (NT) -- Ariel, 11:40:32 02/06/04 Fri

  ---

• He frowned, crossing his arms a little bit. "There are good people out there, Ariel - people who don't want to hurt you or control you. You just need to open up your eyes and see it." (NT) -- Angelo, 11:44:38 02/06/04 Fri
