Marlissa intervened.

Unlike his fictional hero, Ryan had never gotten into fisticuffs but he was willing to get into his first fight to defend his wife's honor. Luckily for him he did not need to.

"Boys, calm down," Marlissa ordered, stepping between the two men, as her green eyes glowed. "Bill, you will forget where we live."

"I... I... I don't know where you live..." Bill stuttered, trying in vain to resist her magical words.

"You should command him to delete those photos, honey," Ryan suggested.

"Please... I... I just... think you're... beautiful.. Please no!" Bill began to sob.

Marlissa looked at her husband before turning her attention back to Bill. "I will let you keep the photographs but you will never bother us again. Do you understand?"

Bill nodded.

"If you harass us I will drain all of your bodily fluids and life energies!" she stated, staring into Bill's eyes to look deep into his lonely soul.

Bill could see in her eyes, but not understand, that she was not human but something supernatural. He nodded again.

"Good," Marlissa smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thank you for the ride!"

Bill staggered to his car and sped off, not sure what had happened.

"Be a lover, not a fighter," Marlissa purred and took her husband's hand and led him up to the elevator.
