The sound of her failure was very loud. Everywhere had gone dead silent and nothing was heard except the sound of their rough breathing.

Arianna looked at Marcel, although she had lost, she hadn't made it easy for him either and that was evidenced by the sweat running down his face. The both of them stared at each other, their chest was heaving heavily as a result of the fight.

It was at that moment that Arianna realized their proximity, the both of them were on the floor and Marcel was lying directly in between her legs. 

Fuck. 

It was embarrassing considering that they had an audience, but for unknown reasons, Arianna didn't rouse or stand up, no, she didn't want to and waited for Marcel's reaction instead.
