Aila pushed Marcus slightly away from her face, as he was so close she nearly could lose her breath. Her heart is betraying her, it beats so fast excitedly anticipating his next move. But she wants to get mad at him for having a good time with other women.

"You still did not answer my question."

She finally had the guts to talk but she could not look directly in his eyes, she feels she could melt in his stare.

Marcus could almost taste her breath. How she misses being this close to the woman he loves. They are too close at each other; he thinks Aila would hear his heartbeat. This could easily turn into a steamy night for them, as the tension between them is undeniable. But Aila is just too stubborn to accept his answer.

"I told you the answer already. Why can't you just accept it?"

Marcus let out a harsh breath. He lowered his head; he felt like it is hopeless to explain to a person who is not willing to listen.
