She was there, waiting for him, when he got home.

“I made pie. Pecan. Eat it at your own risk.” Maddy held it out to him with both hands—a peace offering with a burnt crust.

“I already ate. Abby made pumpkin.” He enjoyed the fact that she winced when he said her sister’s name.

She tossed the pie tin onto the table. Part of the crust fell off. Unfortunately, it was the part that wasn’t burnt. “Oh? So they’re in town. I thought they’d have flown down to North Carolina for the holiday, get in a few photo ops. A turkey shoot, maybe. You know, Andy’s a crack shot. So is Abby, for that matter.” It wasn’t idle chatter, but a taunt.

“How about you?”

“Me? I make love, not war. Or don’t you remember.” She crossed her arms at her waist. “Ben, tell me what’s wrong. What happened?”

“I saw him. With you. The Invisible Man.”

The look on her face went from disbelief, to shame, to sadness. “Ah. So now you know. Does anyone else?”

“Seriously, Maddy, who else would give a shit?” He was tired of the games. He wanted to smack her then toss her out the door.

Or make love to her.

“But I thought—” Seeing his lack of comprehension gave her some semblance of relief. “Look, Ben, I don’t know what you think you saw—”

“Maddy cut the bullshit.” He tried to keep his voice as steady as possible. “It was the night I came home from Detroit. You were in your doorway. With him. You were kissing.”

“I know when it was. That’s how long it’s been, between us.” Her eyes begged for forgiveness. “Yes, we were kissing. But I was kissing him goodbye.”

“Then why did you take him upstairs?” Why did you stroke his head? Why do you love him, and not me?

“I wanted to...say goodbye.” A small smile dusted her lips. “I would have done the same to you, if I’d known it was our last night together.”

He grabbed her arm and yanked her to his side. “Quite a sendoff. Makes breaking up with you is quite a treat, I can imagine.”

Her palm hit him squarely across the face. She laughed cruelly as he reeled back in pain. “How’s that? I guess it makes it even easier, in your case.”

She almost made it to the door when he grabbed her. He had her down on her hands and knees in no time. As his hand snaked up her skirt, she arched her back at the sensation. Soon she quit struggling against his fierce strokes.

Knowing he would burst at any moment, he yanked up her skirt and straddled her. With each downward plunge, Maddy let loose with an ecstatic moan. Her vise-like grip on the head of his cock made him suck in his breath. Finally he couldn’t hold in his own groans. Their savage duet built to a crescendo as he surged through her.

Spent, they tumbled together back onto the floor.

When finally he could speak, he said, “Did you really mean what you said, that it’s over with him?”

“Yes—yes! It’s over.
