Chapter 140: Champagne and Bubbles

Ariana sat in a bathtub full of bubbles, poking the end of the tub with her toes and drinking a glass of champagne. She was beyond emotionally exhausted. He had spent the night dealing out her punishment, which she had loved. She missed being his slave and making him proud, but her heart and thoughts were tired from social media and from Adalee causing trouble for them.

Lucky trotted into the bathroom and placed her head on the edge of the tub with a whine. "What wrong, girl?" She reached over to run her fingers along the standard poodle's head. "Why are you so sad?"

"Maybe because the gorgeous girl in the tub is sad." Carter leaned on the side of the wall with his arms crossed and one ankle over the other.

"The girl is sad." Ariana sighed and watched Lucky walk over to her owner. "Really sad."

"I see that." Carter undid his black tie and tugged it from the collar of his red button down.
