Arriving at their destination, Marcel was not refused entrance and he drove into Draven's residence, deeply pleased at the level of trust that he's gained with Eric.
He parked in the open space and stepped out of the car to open the door for Arianna, helping her step out.
"Thank you," Arianna told him nonetheless, knowing he was just being a gentleman.
Marcel didn't say anything, rather he pulled her to his side, his hand resting on her waist. His touch was subtle, almost nonexistent but enough for her to feel the protective warmth he naturally exuded.
Together, the both of them walked up to the porch only to find out that Natalie was outside, waiting for them. And for once, Marcel was grateful that he had listened to his head that warned him to do the right thing by sending Arianna home, unlike his dick that had other plans contrary to this.
