Chapter 17

• *ARIANNA’S POV*
• I run all the entire way to my room. By Luna, what did he think he was doing? I slammed my door shut behind me and sank to the floor, I was shaking from anger and confusion. The nerve of him to mark me. It wasn’t enough that he could storm into my room any night he felt like to have his way with me. Now he was making sure everyone knew it. Now Andrew would know it too. The sudden thought of Andrew stops my shakes. Is that what that was about? Andrew did say Luciano had no love for him. Was this him telling Andrew to keep off?
• I get off the floor and take off my clothes. The smell of him was nauseating and intoxicating at the same time. I was so confused, my brain loved and hated his smell on me. I walk into the adjoining bathroom. I can’t get him off completely but I can try. I set the water to scalding hot and step in. I load my hair with shampoo and my body with soap. If I were in a comic right now my super power would be suds. I don’t know how long I stay under the shower but at some point I become numb to the pain from the hot water and my mind goes blank.
