Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 64: Possessive
~Lora~It had been so long since I'd seen Alex this happy that the sight almost hurt. There had been a time when his happiness used to come so easily, when I could make him smile without even trying. Then everything between us had become complicated, and somewhere along the way, I'd stopped seeing that version of him which I thought I broke.Now he was looking at me like he'd finally gotten something he'd been waiting years to have.And the worst part was that I was happy too.“I love you,” I blurted out.The words escaped before I could stop them. I immediately looked away. “I mean…”“I know.”I looked back at him.He was already reaching for me. “I know you do,” he said quietly, his fingers brushing against my cheek. “And I know you've always had.”There was no teasing or smug smile in his voice this time.Just certainty.“I’m happy I didn't give up,” he added.Something inside me softened at those words.I was glad he'd said them.More than I wanted to admit, but the happiness did
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 63: H.A.P.P.Y
~Lora~The distant chirping of birds and the soft rush of cold morning air slowly pulled me out of sleep.I blinked several times, trying to clear the hazy blur from my eyes as I stretched beneath the warmth of the duvet. For a few seconds, I had no idea where I was.Then I turned my head.My heart skipped.Alex was lying beside me, already awake, watching me with an expression that made something twist deep inside my chest.“You’re finally awake,” he murmured.Before I could say anything, he reached for me and pulled me closer, pressing a soft kiss to my forehead as if waking up beside me was the most natural thing in the world.And then, just like that, flashes of last night began rushing through my mind.My breath caught.I pulled away from him and looked down at myself beneath the white duvet. The realization hit me all at once, leaving me frozen for a moment.I was completely naked. My eyes slowly moved back to him, taking in the fact that he was in the same state.“Alex...” My v
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 62: Absolute Death
~Alex~The kiss turned wild, breathless, and mean.Her fingers hooked on the thin strap of her dress, yanking it down until the fabric pooled at her waist.She wasn't wearing a bra.The cool night air hit her bare skin, making her nipples harden instantly, but the heat radiating off her body was unreal.I cupped her breast, burying my hand into her soft skin, and squeezed hard.Lora gasped into my mouth, her back arching off my lap as she pressed herself closer to me."Mhmm…Alex..." she whimpered against my lips.I dragged my mouth down her throat, leaving sharp bites on her collarbone and the curve of her chest, marking every inch of her I could reach.She squirmed, her hands digging into my shoulders, making messy, desperate noises into the quiet car.Her hands fumbled down to my waist, her fingers clawing at the buckle of my belt.Right in the middle of the dark haze of desire, a cold thought hit me.I grabbed both of her wrists, holding her still."If I'm really going to do this..
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 61: Regret
~Alex~Have you ever fallen into deep water? You know how to swim, but there's this heavy urge to just stop fighting and sink.That’s what loving Lora feels like.I can't get her out of my head, and I don't want to. I want this desire to consume me until my last breath, because being without her kills me more than anything else.Does she still feel something for me? I don't know.I don't even care.That’s why I’ll never stop following her. It’s a dangerous habit, but I couldn't stop if I tried.And tonight, it’s the only reason I found her.If I had been two minutes later... I couldn't live with myself."Can you hear me?" I called out, pulling her weak body tight against my chest until there was no space left between us.Her warm hands dragged up my face. "Please… take me," she whispered, her voice thick and slurred.Anger flared in my chest.Was she really ready to give herself to just anyone like this?But I shut the thought down immediately. She wasn't in her right mind. She was d
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 60: Fire
~Lora~Alex didn't pick. I called him over and over again till my legs gave out on the floor.The tiles of the bathroom floor had been freezing, but the fire in my blood was worse. I stayed in the stall until my knees trembled and threatened to buckle, pressing my forehead against the graffiti-covered wall just to feel something cool. I waited until my chest stopped heaving, until I was absolutely certain Michael had given up and left the hallway, before I left.When I finally dragged myself out to the driveway, the open night air hit me hard.Instantly, a wave of nausea surged up my throat, followed by an icy shudder that racked my entire body. It made no sense. On the outside, my skin was goosebumps and shivering… on the inside, I was burning alive.The drug was an aggressive, pulsing current in my veins, twisting my thoughts and turning every nerve ending into an agonizing wire of raw desire. If I didn’t find a way to quench this heat soon, I was going to lose my mind.I forc
Dear Husband, Let's Have An Open Marriage Chapter 59: Little Plan
~Lora~The auction carried on, but the feeling from before came back slowly.I blinked, trying to clear my eyes, but the massive crystal chandeliers above began to blur, their golden light stretching into long, dizzying streaks.What's going on?I rubbed my palm over my face, maybe I was feeling sleepy without realising. But the sudden weakness I felt all over refused to leave.For some reason I was feeling light weight and hot, everything spinning.Instantly it hit me.I was getting dizzy.Why?No, no, no.Please, let it not be what I'm thinking.My mind flashed back to the family dinner.Could it possibly be the same thing?But… How could they get to me here? I looked around, but the faces of the guests were changing into terrifying, distorted shapes."Lora?" George's voice sounded muffled, as if he were speaking through a thick wall. "Are you alright? You look incredibly flushed.""I... I'm fine," I choked out, my voice trembling. "Just a bit warm. I need to use the restroom."He

~Lora~I didn't realise Nicolas had reached for my wrist, just a brush of fingers.But Alex snapped, his fist connected with Nicolas’s jaw before I even understood what was happening.He lifted me like I weighed nothing, arms steady in a way that annoyed the hell out of me My breath hitched as my

~Lora~"Why do you still have this?" I jabbed his chest with my index finger.He tensed, his jaw tightening. "Why? Does it bother you that I didn't erase it?""I told you to get rid of the tattoo, Alex. What do you want people to think when you finally meet someone?"“Sssh,” he murmured, leaning in

~Lora~I made my way to the VVIP lounge, trying to clear my thoughts of everything, especially the feeling that someone was watching me.I took another shot of the whiskey, its warmth against my throat distracted me.Now I regret handing my phone to James, because he was nowhere on sight. And I wan

~Lora~“Mrs. Brown, can you hear me?”A faint voice stirred me from the darkness. I blinked rapidly as everything became clear.“Thank God you're awake”, the nurse said, smiling warmly, relief washed over her.“What happened?” I asked hoarsely, my body feeling strangely light...numb.“You collapse
