Bennett just grinned. You were scared, huh? Dont worry. Those two mastiffs wont bite.
Ariana forced a tight smile, not believing him at all.
Bennett then gestured toward the door, ordering, Bring them over here.
Ariana tensed up as the dogs trotted over to Bennett.
They sat down, tails wagging, and Bennett fed them sausages one by one, petting them.
The mastiffs gently took the food from Bennett and even licked his fingers without a hint of aggression.

Bennetts smile remained, not showing the slightest hint of discomfort at Arianas attitude.
But those who knew him understood that the wider he grinned, the less he was enjoying himself.
Even his dogs picked up on it; they stopped panting and just sat there, not making a sound.
Ariana sensed the shift in the mood, aware that Bennett was getting angry, but she felt she had had enough.
