Chapter Fifteen
Wednesday Afternoon â¦
NATALIE
Ryan surprised me by coming home early.
The children were still in school and I was in the bedroom, getting ready for a client. I heard him a second before he appeared in the reflection behind me, and I couldnât help jumping.
I turned around and could immediately see that something was wrong.
I wondered what it was, but didnât want to care.
He collapsed into me with heaving sighs.
Ryan wasnât crying, but I couldnât help but feel like he recently had been. Stress seemed to be seeping out of his pores.
Maybe he got in a fight with one of his little girlfriends, broke up with Jess Lindley, or lost a nonexistent promotion at his imaginary job.
Whatever it was, I doubted it had anything to do with me.
Ryan gave me a deep hug, heart to heart, like he used to.
Time to put some of the acting ability Iâve been learning on the job to good use. If I could pretend to like Frank for an hour, I could pretend to still love my husband for a couple more days.
âAre you okay, sweetie?â I asked, petting the back of his head. âIâm surprised to see you home so early.â
He pulled away. âThe job finished early. Iâm just glad to be home.â
I bet you are.
Then Ryan lost some of his daze and seemed to really see me. He must have been really out of it to miss that I was nearly naked. Either that, or was just one hundred percent taking me for granted.
I was wearing lingerie at two in the afternoon on a day when he was supposed to be out of town. I was fucked if I didnât fuck him, make Ryan think that heâd spoiled his surprise.
âYou look amazing.â
âThank you,â I said, looking coy, lightly licking my lips. âI wanted to be ready for you when you came home.â My voice fell to a whisper, sex a suggestion between every syllable. âI was practicing.â
I could already feel his arousal.
These days I kept mine at a constant hum.
âWhat were you practicing?â His words came out a little too fast.
I looked in the mirror and then down at my body. âLooking like a present so that youâll want to unwrap me. Do you want to unwrap me?â
Now he looked almost comical, his tongue practically wagging out of his mouth like a cartoon character.
âYes.â
âThen what are you waiting for? Iâve been thinking about you all day â¦â I took a step closer and found his hands. â⦠waiting for you to come home so that I can fuck you.â
He started panting as he reached for me.
Every bone in my body wanted to hate him, but in that moment, I couldnât. Iâm not sure if it was because somewhere deep inside I couldnât help but still love him, or because I was getting so much experience lately in separating my emotions from the sex.
And the sex was hot. Scorching. Blazing enough that I didnât think of Bennett and our first night together until halfway through the encounter with my husband.
