"Watching you get dressed is my favorite part of sex with you," Aurore said as she sat on the bed with the sheets covering her lower half.

A soft smile appeared on my lips as I approached her, buttoning-up my white shirt. "Are you going to be on duty tonight?"

She gently grabbed my face and pecked my lips "What kind of duty, baby?"

I chuckled, pecking her lips once again "As an Athena."

"That depends on you, handsome," her knuckles caressed my cheekbones as our eyes were locked.

"Tonight's security was designed by Andrea and Angela, I don't know a thing, mon ange." She never sweats, it's more like a golden glow.

(My angel.)

"I'm supposed to be at the door with Andrea," her thumb caressed my bottom lip as her eyes fell to the same place. "But I was thinking I would like to be at the party, with you," her eyes connected with mine once again.

"We agreed to keep this a secret—"

"I know, I know," her hands lowered to my neck. "I just..." a deep sigh left her mouth. "I don't see anything wrong with us being public."

"Aurore," I sat on the edge of the bed and cupped her right cheek with my left hand "neither of us is ready to have a serious relationship."

She tickled my inner forearm with her nails as we never broke eye contact "I'm not asking for anything serious, Mariano," she told. "I just want to be able to kiss you in front of everyone and as much as I like this little adventure of fucking in a hotel like a mistress and a married man," a soft giggle left her mouth "it would be nice to do it in your bedroom. Besides I don't like hiding this from Arabella, what if she finds out and kicks me out?"

"She would never do that, mon ange," a deep sigh left my mouth as I gave it a thought. "It's just so nice having you all to myself..."

"Let's just keep it a secret then," she pecked the palm of my hand. "I'll make sure to let you into the party, Mr. Salvatore."

"Thank you for understanding, mon ange," I leaned in to place a soft kiss on her lips. "I'll see you tonight," I got up on my feet and picked up my coat from one of the chairs of the small round table.

"See you tonight!" She exclaimed as I exited the hotel room.

My eyes glanced down at my rings as I walked down the hallway in direction of the elevator. The place was rather quiet which I enjoyed. Immediately after pressing the button to call the metal box, she shouted my name.

"Mariano!" Aurore exclaimed.

At once, I turned around to find her running towards me with the sheets around her body "What is it, beautiful?" She looks gorgeous with her hair a tad messed up and the golden glow.

"You forgot this," in her hand she was holding the white gold Rolex, Lula gave me as a wedding gift.

"Would you mind?" I showed her my wrist.

Aurore lightly chuckled as she slipped on me the unfastened watch "One more thing," the band was secured once the click sound was audible.
