"Guys, I'm not interested in this brainless chap who brings me nothing but trouble..."

Aria cut in mischievously, "Then why did you put your and this chap's hugging picture on the wallpaper?"

​​

Ceon widened his eyes and created a distance between him and Finn immediately, "Man, I'm straight. Haven't I told you about my girl? What's wrong with your head?"

Finn couldn't control his temper and twisted Ceon's hand grinding his teeth, "Really? Everything is happening because of you and you are entitling me as gay."

All understood the confusion while Aria giggled continuously leaning on Alan who was quiet without a reaction to anything other than feeding his wife.

Finn tossed Ceon away and sat in his chair and warned, "I might flip the table if you continue laughing."

Aria acted like zipping her lips, "Alright, eat... Guys, I was just teasing. Let them eat else Finn will puke on his friend sooner."

Ceon grounded his teeth, painfully stretching his hand. His intention wasn't to entitle Finn as gay but he didn't find any appropriate matter to lie.

Finn continued what he wanted to speak, "Hadn't I told you this stupid man loves a girl?"

Aria hummed. Ceon was clueless why Finn had spoken about him to Aria.

Finn continued, "She is Zara Wood."

The smiles on Rian and Aria's face wiped off. Ceon was over the moon hearing it.

"So she is Zara Wood. Is she President Wood's older sister? No doubt she has so much patience and is so beautiful. Now I know her name, I will woo her..."

His last word trailed off and the bright smile started fading, feeling murderous gazes on him. He gulped, raising his head to see Aria and Rian looking like grim reapers out of hell. Unknowingly, he was even afraid to breathe and suffocated himself gulping again and again.

Rian spoke, "Roxy, call Noah here. It's been a long time since we haven't beaten somebody."

Roxy promptly took her phone and dialed Noah while Aria ate whenever Alan fed but her gaze didn't move from Ceon. Ceon felt like Aria was tearing his soul apart. It was difficult to distract his gaze or thoughts looking her in the eye.

Finn had expected a strong reaction from the Fourie who was overprotective of Zara. Luke and Maxion were confused about what was going on.

"How many ex-girlfriends do you have?" Aria's first question.

"How many have you slept with to fool around?" Rian's voice was heavy.

Alan didn't expect them to jump to direct questions.

"Important is, how many girlfriends do you have now?" Roxy who hung up the call asked.

Ceon promptly answered, "One ex, she is happily married to an old man now. I was flirting around but I haven't slept with anyone…"

Rian gravely chuckled, "And you think we will believe that."

Ceon: "..."

He knew both were younger than him and he couldn't understand how easily they were controlling him.

Maxion spoke, "As much as I know he wasted four years to get over his ex. And come on, how can you expect a grown man to control his physical urges?"

Ceon's lips twitched hearing the question. 'Dude, you are misleading.'

Aria turned to Alan who was older than everyone over there. Alan responded to her questioning gaze. "You can't seduce a man whose brain is dead. Physical desires start with the brain. It completely depends on the man whether to control himself or surrender to his desires."

Aria was proud of her husband. She turned back to Maxion, "You continue hearing your second brain. We are not talking with you here."

Maxion subconsciously looked down at his second brain before he could even realize: "..."

A chuckle escaped from Luke, he lightly coughed and controlled himself, "Or else, you have to be with the one you love to have such desires."

Aria carelessly responded, "I know." Roxy hummed in acceptance.

Alan eyed his wife, "You know?"

Rian looked at his fiancee, "Really?"

'Crap' Both girls cursed themselves in their mind and one blushed while Roxy again hummed without care.

Maxion, Finn, Ceon: "..."

'Dog food is free, free, free.'

Luke's assistant broke the weird silence, "President Baker, The sets are ready for the next shots, we can start soon."

Luke waved his hand and turned to Aria who stood up looking at Ceon, "You! stay here. Don't dare to abscond."

Ceon: "..."

Rian spoke, "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on him."

Ceon: 'I'm not a criminal.'

He poked Finn, "Did I fall in love with the wrong girl again?"

Finn corrected, "Right girl but tough backers."

"Help me."

A smug smile appeared on Finn's face looking at Rian's gaze on Ceon and Aria walking away, "I'm on the Fourie side."

"F**k" Ceon cursed seeing Finn walk towards the green room.

…

"Why haven't I seen your desire much?"

Aria's lips twitched hearing Alan, "There is a difference between Desire and Lust." Jumping on her toes, holding his shoulder, she easily wrapped her legs around his waist.

Alan was glad she wasn't fluffy else she would really break his back one day. Snaking his hands around her waist, he waited for her to continue.

Fondly wrapping her arms around his neck, "If I didn't have the desire, I wouldn't be snuggling in your arms all the time."

Alan smiled hearing her clearly define desire and lust. She hugged his neck and asked, "Why did you always stop without taking me in country S?"

Aria never stopped him whenever he stayed with her in the country S. Even on their church wedding day, it was always Alan who was stopping after making out. Even though she knew the response, she wanted to hear it from him.

Hearing her seriously ask, "I didn't marry you because I was high on testosterone. I just wanted to make you mine in all the ways before eating you up when you come back to me."

Aria giggled hearing him.

After changing to a gown, she went out to see Finn. She knew why he was there. Letting the hairstylist and makeup artist do their job, she spoke.

"Relax Finn. When President Davis was trying to arrange me with Ceon Davis, I had done the background check of him. Since he didn't dare to reach me, I know he isn't behind money or beauty. We Fourie aren't against love marriage but we aren't ready to let him think of trying on Sister Zara. If he could stand us and heartfully woo Sister Zara, we have no problem. We will scare him so that he could never think to play."

Finn relaxed hearing her. He knew only this long he could help Ceon. Since Aria knew about Ceon, he didn't have to speak for him.

"Then I will get goi..."

Aria cut in, "Finn, grandfather Harold asked me to convince you for the blind dates…"
