Arian let's go of the anklet he was touching and laid down curled up on the couch. Tariq lets out an amused laugh and said:
"I have to say it was terrific watching you contemplate on whether to take it off or not. You were almost pitiable. You couldn't take it off but that doesn't mean that I can't."
Before Arian could even think to race to the door after standing up Tariq was standing right in front of him with a knowing smile:
"Who is gonna stop me now?" Arian gulped feeling cornered by the tall man in front of him. He wondered what the tall man would do to him as he jolted away to stand a distance from Tariq. His heart was beating fast. He couldn't stop the fear seething within him.
