        As the morning quickly turned to day, Colin sat on the couch and waited as Jennifer changed into some spare clothes she had kept in her purse in case of an emergency. Quickly, she realized there was a sexual aspect of her choice of emergency clothes. Tight top, skinny jeans, and lace undergarments. With great pace, she placed eyeliner, mascara, blush, and lip gloss on then placed her hair lazily over her shoulders and was surprised to find she looked doable. When she exited the bathroom, Colin jumped from his sitting position and toward her. With no hesitation, he kissed her, causing them both to crash against the wall. Almost as if caught completely in the moment, he went to her neck and kissed her skin as if he were breathing her in.

        "You look incredibly alluring. I'm sorry. I couldn't help myself..." He said retreating back away from her.

        It took her a moment to retrieve back her breath. When she did, she made her way toward the couch to get her phone from the table when she noticed the weather.

        "So much for our plans..." She said throwing her arms toward the rainy weather.

        "It's just water..." He said walking toward the door. "It won't make you melt. I promise."

        "Where are we going to go?"

        "There's something I want to show you..." He said as he made his way from the hotel room to the car. Opening her door for her, she slid into the car without hesitation and made her way safetly placing her seat belt across her chest. Colin did the same and started the ignition before driving about ten minutes then parking in an abandoned lot.

        "This is where the men with guns come out..." She said making a scary-movie joke. Causing Colin to smirk.

        "No men like that here."

        "What kind of men are here?" He asked taken back by his comment. "This isnt' a strip club is it?'

        "No." He said as he got out of the car. Going to the trunk, he took out a large black container and carried it toward the building. "Come. I want to show you something..."

        Jennifer followed Colin at a slow distance. Not wanting to make her feel pressured, he allowed it-but also wanted to keep her safe so eased her into the location. He described it to date back to the early eighteen hundreds as an old hotel with cement walls that the city refused to take down due to the historic legend and admiration from the citizens. She smiled as she heard him go on and on about the history.

        "This is my 'play space', as I like to call it."

        Placing the black case on the table, he opened it to reveal a guitar. It was beautifully crafted and shiny enough to see in the dimly lit building.

        "You play?" She asked in shock, watching as he tuned the end of the guitar.

        "Yes. I would have to say it is my passion..." he said as he began strumming.

        The chords made her sink into her seat. She had forgotten the fear she had outside the building and just basked in the moment with Colin. Soon, he began to hum and she fell hypnotized to him. Listening to his sweet voice and magic fingers, she almost did not notice the other men walk in. Three of them stood before Colin with shocked expressions. They all had bags of food in their hands as they all were different personalities.

        "Mates, this is Jennifer..."

        "Ah, this is the infamous Jennifer..." The incredibly buff guy said as he shook her hand. He gave her a playful smirk before going in a back room and disappearing from them.

        "Are you a real blonde?" The second man asked, almost looking envious of her hair.

        And the third one did not speak, just sat beside Colin and watched the entire interaction.

        Colin waited until the men left before explaining.

        "The one in all leather...we call him Callum. He is the bodyguard for when I play. There are some crazed people..." he said pausing as he placed the guitar back in his case. "The one in the tie who always seems to care more about hair than anything else is my stylist...that's Tye. And last but not least, the one who did not talk...that's mute. He is a killer guitar player, as well as piano, drums, violin, and every other instrument known to man...but he never talks. Communicates through music."

        "Wow...I thought you were just an actor..."

        "I never really have time to play. She doesn't like it when I play...gives her a headache."

        "I think it sounds incredible..." She then looked around and noticed no pictures of him and his wife. "Do they know about your open marriage?"

        He nodded. "It was their idea...I didn't know what it was until they told me..."

        Placing her hand upon his shoulder, she leaned in and kissed his cheek.

        "I love when you play. In fact...would you mind playing me something else?"

        Without hesitation and with a smile, he picked up the guitar and began playing. Again, she was mesmurized by his playing. Eventually realizing she could not move even if she wanted to...but she didn't want to...
