64: IN THE SHOWER
ARIEL’S POV
“What the heck!” I bawled at Luke. And that still didn’t give him some sense. His eyes were still on me, and this was really crazy.
“Get out! Can’t you see I’m taking a shower?” I yelled at him.
“I can see that,” he uttered, with a deep tone and a smirk on his face. “But you’re my wife. And come on, don’t act like this is the first time I’m seeing you naked.”
I couldn’t help but glare at him. Was he under the influence of alcohol, or what?
“You are sick in the head!” I snapped. “Now leave!” I was about to push him out of the bathroom, but he seized both of my hands.
Luke pushed me to the wall with the shower still turned on, soaking his shirt. He pressed both of my hands against the wall, staring into my eyes. And he did all this while I was naked.
His eyes went down to my breasts. I didn’t know what he was thinking now, but it was definitely nasty. Luke took his gaze downward, observing my whole body, and our eyes met. again.
“Let go of me,” I told him.
Luke chuckled. “I know you want me,” he said softly, moving his face closer to mine. “Just say the words, and you can have me all you want,” he whispered, nozzling my neck.
I thought this man and I used to have mutual feelings of hatred. So what in the world is this all about?
“Let go of me, and get the hell out of the shower.” I also vocalized in hushed tones.
“I’m not doing that,” he said softly, moving his finger down to my chest and halting in between my breasts. His touch sent waves of some feeling right inside me that I couldn’t understand. And then I felt his tongue on my neck, slowly, and it was kind of shooting.
Luke gazed at me once again, gently brushing my hair. “Why don’t we do something naughty this morning? What do you say?”
“I say you leave me right now. I have work to do, and so do you.”
“Work can wait, Ariel; this is a lovely moment between a husband and wife.”
“No, it’s not,” I told Luke, and kneeled his balls immediately. He bawled a little.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” He asked in pain, with his hands fixed around his groin.
“Don’t you dare try this nonsense with me again!” I snarled, grabbed a towel, and left him in
the shower.
Later in the day, I was at my office, going through different files and preparing for the upcoming meetings. And there were a lot of ongoing projects. So at the moment, my head was on fire. If Michael or Seth were here, they would help me out with this.
“Miss, you have a visitor,” one of my workers,informed me. I wondered who it was.
“Tell that person to come in, please,” I told her, and she nodded before leaving the office.
The next person who entered was Mason. A huge smile filled his entire face, and I could just guess why he had come to pay me a visit.
“Mrs Reynold!” Mason exclaimed, smiling broadly at me, as he stepped nigher. “You’re looking really beautiful,” he added. But I knew he was telling me the complete opposite.
“Okay, Mason, thank you. But please, you do not have to keep on giving me false comments.”
“False comments?” He made a puzzled face. “You’re the wife of Luke Reynold, so calling you Mrs. Reynold is totally fine. Or was I lying when I said you’re really beautiful? Aren’t you pretty?”
“That’s not what I meant, okay? But you know what? Nevermind, let’s just forget about this.”
“You’re right,” Luke said, snapping his fingers. He walked closer. “We should forget about that and talk of something better. Something that’s going to blow someone’s mind.”
The way he spoke made it look like it was special. But I clearly knew what he was talking about. And I’m sure you do too.
“I just got married to Luke, okay? And I have tons of projects to go through. So can we please shift this discussion to another time?”
Mason clapped his hands immediately. “Sure! Anything you say, Mrs. Reynold.”
I arched an eyebrow at him. “The name’s Ariel.”
“And you are the wife of Luke Reynold,” Mason said immediately. “I’m just paying my respect around here.“.
I chuckled. “Yeah, respect.”
”
“Well, your wish is my command. But I got to ask, when are the two of you going on your honeymoon?” Mason grinned.
I exhaled deeply. “Please, don’t ask me that.”
“Why not? The two of you are the latest couple in town.”
Rose burst into the office promptly.“”Miss, the directors of Oranos want to speak with you.”
“Well, tell them to come to my office,” I told her.
“Okay,” Rose responded, and she left. I smiled at Mason after that.
“Okay, I’ll be leaving then. We’ll continue with this conversation some other time,” he said, stepping to the door. I nodded, and he left.
LUKE’S POV
The day had been a busy one, with different projects being carried out, meeting stuff, and all that. It’s really been exhausting, and that’s why I made my way to a coffee shop. I needed some time to just chill and relax and get some peace of mind.
But even in the relaxation, I was still stressing my brain, thinking about what happened between me and Ariel earlier this morning. I was only teasing her, but I knew I almost drove her nuts. She even had to kneel my balls, but I decided to let her go with that one.

I was still sitting comfortably, enjoying a nice, cool, refreshing drink, when someone approached me. It was Tiffany.
She crossed her arms, looking pretty in an orange mini dress, and the look she gave me was literally not a nice one.
“Tiffany?” I uttered, still looking at her. I was never expecting this encounter.
“Well, well, well. Look who we have here: the good–for–nothing player, Luke Reynold.”
“Please don’t call me that,” I said, dropping my glass of wine on the table.
“Why shouldn’t I?” Tiffany quizzed.
“Because I’m not one,” I answered, almost inaudible, and I looked at her.
She laughed. “Oh Luke, you have got to be the funniest man I’ve ever seen.”
“Say what now?” I raised an eyebrow.
“You used me, you idiot. All you wanted was sex, and I was thinking you actually wanted to spend your life with me.”
“Sorry about that, but it’s just a one–time thing. I was mad at my woman back then; that’s
why….”
“You went to get freaky with me?” She cut me off. “I thought you were a different man, Luke. But I guess I was wrong. You’re no different from the others.”
“Look, I don’t need any argument; that’s the last thing I want right now. I’m sorry if I made you develop feelings, or whatever, but as you can see, I’m married now.”
“You think I don’t know that?”
“Good, so why are you still here then?” I smirked.
She groaned, glaring at me. “You’re unbelievable.”
Tiffany walked away after that. I was even surprised that the conversation was short. For a moment, I thought she was going to create a scene, acting crazy like Harriet.
My phone started ringing–an unknown number right here. But I answered it anyway.
“Luke Reynold. It’s a great thing to be talking to you again.”
The voice sounded familiar, but I couldn’t recall who.
“Uhmm, who is this?” I asked slowly.
“Let’s just say the person who exposed your girlfriend to you,” he replied.
