Nanginginig pa rin si Ariella habang hinahablot siya ni Kayden palabas ng bar. Ramdam niya ang matigas na pagkakahawak nito sa kanyang pulsuhan, parang kandado na ayaw siyang pakawalan. Tahimik ito buong biyahe pauwi, ngunit umiigting ang mga panga nito habang nag mamaneho, mga mata'y naglalagablab-isang babala na hindi dapat balewalain. Pagkapasok nila sa kwarto, sinarado ni Kayden ang pinto nang madiin. Humugot ito ng malalim na hininga, saka mabigat na tumingin sa kanya. "Ariella... anong akala mo ang ginagawa mo sa dancefloor? Nakita ko kung paanong pinagmamasdan ka ng lahat. At hinayaan mo pa silang hawakan ka." "Bakit? Trabaho mo bang bantayan pati ang bawat galaw ko? O naiinggit ka lang dahil hindi ikaw ang humawak sakin kanina" naka ngisi kong sabi Napalapit si Kayden, halos idikit ang katawan sa kanya. Mariin ang pagkakatingin nito, parang sinisidlan ng apoy ang bawat salita. "Huwag mo akong subukan, Ariella. Alam mong may hangganan ang pasensya ko." Paos na sabi ng binata sa kanya Bago pa siya makasagot, isinandal siya ni Kayden sa pader, ang mainit na hininga nito ay dumampi sa gilid ng kanyang leeg. Naramdaman ni Ariella ang mabilis na tibok ng puso niya-hindi lang dahil sa takot, kundi dahil sa kilig na tinatago niya. "So what now? Are you gonna punish me because of what i did?" Bahagyang napapikit si Kayden, pinipigilan ang sariling damdamin. Ngunit nang muling magtama ang kanilang mga mata, alam nilang pareho-wala nang atrasan. Ang parusang ibibigay niya ay hindi lang tungkol sa disiplina... kundi tungkol sa apoy na matagal na nilang nilalaro. "I will ravish you right now slowly, deliberately until every ounce of defiance melts away. I'll make you tremble beneath my touch, until your pride gives way to nothing but desire. And when you can no longer resist, when the only thing you crave is me, you will beg for more." Husky voice of him at sinunggaban ka agad ng binata ang dalaga. "Ahhhh!! Kaydennn"
