As the heat from Bennitt's breath hit her, a wave of nausea washed over Athena. She felt like she might throw up, but when she looked up, her eyes locked with Marlon's.
His eyes were dark and intense, and his whole demeanor had shifted. Meanwhile, the man speaking gibberish was still messing around with her, making her feel even more revolted.
Athena instantly understood what Marlon wanted. He was waiting for her to beg him for help.
He was tapping his fingers on his knee, exuding a sense of control and ease.
The first time Marlon saw Athena on TV, he wanted to mark her, to taint her purity. Back then, it was just a fleeting thought, as her eyes seemed too clean, too untainted. He wanted to add a splash of chaos to them.
Lowering his lashes, Marlon suddenly pulled her roughly into his arms.
She trembled against him. The man speaking gibberish paused, wiped his lips, and mumbled an apology. It was all just a spur-of-the-moment thing. No one expected Marlon would actually hand her over. No one expected he would take the fruit, so to speak.
They were still three hours away from reaching the shore, and there were plenty of fishing boats nearby, bustling about. Blending into the crowd, no one would notice them. So, why not have a little fun? And the only entertainment on this boat was Athena.
Athena bit down hard on her lip. Being held by Marlon felt just as disgusting as the other man's advances.
Apparently, her eyes betrayed her thoughts, making Marlon chuckle. He unbuckled his belt and yanked off her jeans.
"Why the act, huh? Sleeping with me must have been so disgusting, right? Didn't seem that way back then!"
Marlon rarely showed his emotions, and it was even rarer for someone to rile him up like this.
He skipped any foreplay, and since Athena was resisting him entirely, all she felt was pain, like she was being torn apart.
No one expected Marlon to just start right there on the boat.
Some looked away, others were tempted, but they knew the rules—she was the boss's woman.
Athena's swollen face had gone down a bit, but she still looked awful, especially with pain etched across her features. It was enough to turn anyone's stomach.
Yet Marlon seemed to enjoy it, almost as if he was torturing her on purpose.
"Did Kerwin ever do this to you? You were both so young back then; he probably didn't, right? So, who was your first?"
"Man, my brother sure had good taste. Too bad he can't enjoy it himself."

The readers' comments on the novel: Dear Ex-wife Marry Me novel (Maja)
Author, would you story about Ryan settling down and another story on Eric regaining his body and memories back from Patrick, and Eric also settling down as I find it so disheartening for him to have gone through what he went through at the research institute, and I'll like for him to get his "golden boy" life back though, not at the detriment of Ian....
When will the author update to finish Beck's story? What about Dylan and Tyler's love lives? Also, I'll like the author to write on Wilma and Elvis ending up together as she was quite persistent in pursuing him. And Shawn's story, Cornelia Sullivan and Omar Casson. Also, a little write-up on Jeff (Ian's assistant) love life, too. Thanks, author for updating....
