....

They headed towards the men's bath and Ariana started to look around nervously. "Don't worry, no one will walk in." He said as he reached over to pull the women's curtain shut then the walked into the men's entry way and pulled the curtain closed. He then carried Ariana through the winding corridor and into the second change room. He walked straight into the showering area and sat her down on the plastic stool. "I'll be back... don't move." He instructed then left. Ariana sat perfectly still, waiting for him to come back. When he did, he was wearing a white towel around his waist.

Ariana blushed. Cayden's body had changed so much in the last couple of years, he was taller, broader and more tones but at the same time there were more scars. Her mind drifted off as she imagined Cayden training everyday to get so muscular. While Cayden started the shower, pumped some shampoo into his hand and brought the adjustable shower head rod to her hair. He started to wash her hair with his hand. Dirty, foliage and sweat was washed away, he looked down and saw dark patches of blood on her feet. He repositioned himself beside Ariana, he looked at her face and saw she was deep in thought. He stretched out a trembling hand and touched her feet.

Ariana moved her gaze to Cayden and sighed. "How bad is it?" She asked shocking him. He wasn't expecting her to talk. "Hold on, let me see first." He said as he coaxed her to raise her foot. He gnashed his teeth when he saw the amount of slices on and around her feet. "I... I ran as fast as I could." She admitted. Cayden had no words and just started to wash her wounded feet.

After he was done he gently placed the foot down and picked her back up. He walked over to a bamboo wall divider and headed towards the entrance of the bathing pool. Ariana looked around, their enchanted room was different. They were immersed in a bamboo forest. There was no romantic atmosphere like the twinkling of the stars in the women's but she felt a sense of safety. She was hidden, no one could touch her. It was just her and Cayden, isolated from everyone else. She let out a sigh as Cayden walked into the water. The floor was done with the same glowing stones as the women's so the room was well lit. Cayden gently placed Ariana on the ledge of the bathing pool and looked up into her face.

"Will you let me see?" He asked. Ariana started to tremble as she held her robe tightly closed. Cayden noticed her wrist, they were already starting to bruise. Cayden reached out and grabbed her arm. He brought her wrist to his lips and started to kissing it gently. Ariana was shocked. The warmth from each kiss he placed on her wrist made her body body burn with pleasure. He grabbed her other wrist and started to kiss it. She started to blush as she watched him place kisses along her bruised wrist. "Let me see." He softly said, coaxing her to voluntarily open her robe.

Ariana brought up her trembling hands up and slowly opened her robe. Cayden'e eyes grew wide with shock. He saw a glimpse of her fair skin in the woods but didn't dare to stare too long. He swallowed back saliva as he eyed her under the bright lights. Her skin was so white and beautiful, her body was perfectly formed so it could be appreciated by her lover, full breast, not too small of a waist, curvy hils but the image was ruined by the dark bruises on her right breast. He could see the finger prints left behind and it infuriated him.

Fueled by rage he grabbed Ariana's waist and brought her into the water. He looked down at her face and saw the fear in her eyes. He instantly calmed down and hugged her. "Did he do anything else to you?" He asked with a shaky voice. Ariana could feel her eyes starting to sting as she remembered. "He... he.. he touched me. H-h-he touched my chest, his h-h-hand was on my throat... sniff... he touched m-m-my face.... sniff... his thing was on my s-s-s-s-stomach.... sob... He s-s-squeezed so hard... he wanted me to scream! I only screamed once! Only once! I couldn't give in! Cayden he kissed me... he kissed me and forced my mouth open! His tongue was inside me! I can still feel his touch, his lips and his tongue! What do I do?! I don't know what to do!" She cried.

Cayden felt a horrible pain in his chest. Someone touched her, someone kissed her, someone made her feel scared and his blood boiled. He couldn't take it, he didn't want to hear more, he pulled her back and looked at her with desperation and sorrow. "Cayden... I still feel him." She whispered as tears rolled down her slightly flushed cheeks. Something inside Cayden snapped.

He couldn't think anymore, he didn't want to think anymore, he just wanted her. He urgently placed his lips over top of hers. Ariana's eyes grew wide with horror. "Cayden!" She called out when they parted but he had succumbed to a greater power. He repeatedly kissed her lips, poking his tongue in between her sealed lips. After some attempts, Ariana opened her mouth.

Cayden slowly moved his tongue inside her mouth as he moved his hand to the back of her head. "Cayden." She moaned. "Why are you..." She tried to ask but Cayden silenced her again. "Disinfecting." He murmured under his breath when he finished kissing her. Ariana collapsed onto his chest, they were both breathing erratically. Ariana eyes widened when she felt something poke her belly button. She looked up at Cayden and he dropped his head to her breast. "Ahhh!" She moaned as he started to kiss and suck on her right breast. "C-CAY-CAYDEN!" She yelled as she hugged his head.

Cayden let go of her right breast and stared at the left. "I will make you forget!" He shouted as he attacked her left breast. "Ahhhh!" She cried. When he was satisfied with her chest he started to leave a trail of kisses that lead up to her neck. "Cayden." Ariana said breathlessly as he started to suck on her neck. He slid his hand down her back and on to her buttocks. He moaned as his hands barely covered one cheek. He started to massage her making her moan even more. "Cayden, Cayden, Cayden!" She chanted until he sealed her lips again. His tongue invaded her mouth, this time he just wanted to taste her.
