I pulled out of her mouth and watched her wipe the tears off her cheeks.

“Are you okay?”

She smiled tremulously. “Yeah, just out of practice. Need to get my overactive gagging reflex to calm down.”

I nodded and turned away so she wouldn’t see the way I really felt.

When we had first started this ‘game’ I had been too blasé. I thought I could handle it. Her betrayal. Perhaps I had not really believed it, but I had been wrong. God, so fucking wrong. Now, even while I was fucking her mouth all I felt was pain. How could she not see what a scumbag he was? After everything we had been through, she still chose him.

Fuck her!

That was the whole problem. I couldn’t say fuck you and walk away. Not from her. Not yet. Maybe if I kept on fucking her I would get over her eventually. Eventually it would get through my thick head that she was no good.

She lay on the bed with closed eyes. I looked at her profile, wondering how an act that was almost divine when it was done with her could leave such a bitter taste in my mouth. I guess I didn’t want to believe it, and I had done everything in my power not to acknowledge she was not the Madonna of my dreams, but a whore.

A fallen woman.

I had felt her crawl out of bed, and it had killed me to feel the warmth of her skin leave me. It was as if she was killing all my dreams. I had given her enough time to read the ‘fallen’ document before ‘catching’ her.

It gutted me she was such a traitor, but there was not a fucking thing I could do about it. All I could do was focus on my anger and try my best to turn it into hatred.

I resisted the urge to stroke her cheek as she slept, the same way in which I resisted the urge to engage my emotions while we had sex.

I closed my eyes. I was not quite sleeping, hovering on the periphery of consciousness. I was not sure how long afterwards it was when I felt her slip out of bed. I opened my eyes just in time to see her shadow slip out of the room.

I lay still, my mind whirling until I saw her trying to slip back into bed. Deliberately, I moaned and rolled over and she froze in her tracks. I kept up the act by stretching out to ‘find’ her side of the bed empty. I made a big show of fluttering my eyes open and starting to sit up in bed.

“Sorry if I woke you,” she said. “I went to get a drink of water.”

“Another drink?” I asked innocently.

She slipped back into bed beside me.

I lay back down, taking her with me. She turned her back and spooned into the curve of my body. I placed a thigh between hers and a hand on her hip as usual. I listened to her breathing.
