"Get off me!" Arianna pushed him off her when she realized the misleading position the both of them were in.
Thankfully, Elijah let her go and Arianna was able to stand up to her feet. Her lips were swollen and still tingling from the kiss the both of them shared - which was a huge mistake. She must have lost her mind for a moment there. Everything had taken her by surprise. But that doesn't excuse the fact that she had kissed Elijah and cheated on Marcel. The guilt was beginning to gnaw at her conscience.
Hence, when Elijah took a step toward her, Arianna stepped back instantly as if he was dangerous. Elijah noticed the action and frowned.
"I am not going to hurt you,"
"I never thought you would hurt me," Arianna told him, yet made sure that there was still that distance between them.
