My eyes grew damp withouteven realizing it. I felt a cool sensation when I blinked, and my heart slowly beccold too. Only when he had squeezed every last bit of oxygen from my lungs did he finally lift his head. His eyes were red as he stared atintently. "Do you wantto do this with someone else?" Gripping my face with one hand, he pecked my lips again. "I'll kiss others like this too!" I gazed at his throat before slowly moving my eyes to his face and into his eyes. They were swirling with complex emotions. Feeling suffocated, I found it hard to even breathe.
As if he thought I was not upset enough, he grabbed my chest with one hand. "I'll play with other women's bodies like this. Would you not care either?"

At that moment, we were both enveloped by a sense of helplessness. He felt like a victim, and so did I. If that was the case, what else was there to say? I gently pushed him away and turned around. I knew that there were girls younger and prettier thanbehind that door. All I had to do was open it.
His large hand covered mine on the doorknob. Huggingfrom behind, he lowered his head to kiss my cheek. "Ari, let's start over!" I turned my face and felt his warm breath of cigamy skin. I hated the smell even more now.

He kissed my neck softly and mumbled, "We do have a place we can go back to. Let's go back to when you just vetured from our honeymoon. I'll pretend not to know about your little schemes to manipulate me, and then none of this would have happened. We'll be even." Pondering his words, I slowly cto my senses. "Even?"
