PARTNER IN QUESTION

My chest tightens until breathing feels deliberate.Why him??Why now?I imagined what he sees when he looks at me. I imagined the conclusions he might draw, and the assumptions he might make.He has no right to say that to me. Never.I imagine his thoughts lingering where they have no right to linger.Was he possibly thinking I'd end up with him?The idea that he might think about the possibility of having me all to himself made me angry."What do you mean", I asked sternly I felt ridiculous. I feel angry, at myself, at him, at James.He circled me slowly. Each step is deliberate.The sound of his boots against the floor is steady, patient, like a heartbeat that isn’t his.I turned around and faced him directly. "I just asked you a question. What do you mean by that?"He sighed softly before replying “You gave him access,” he continues. “Not just your body. But your attention and heart", He paused again, intentionally "And he's not treating you well"I closed your eyes briefly. Th

IN YOUR SIGHT

His dick trailed down between my already hot labia and explored my warm wetness.His rhythm drew a soft ache from deep inside me, a needy warmth that spread through my body until I was trembling."Ohhhhh, shitttt", I moaned His hands toyed with my face and my breasts as he pushed himself inside of me. He found that sensitive spot just below my ear that seemed to be connected to my pussy.And when he teased me there with his tongue, I gasped. My breath broke into soft, helpless sounds as pleasure rolled through me in sweet, dizzying waves.My body opened to him completely, every nerve humming, every touch melting me until all I could feel was warmth, longing, and the unbearable sweetness of being taken right to the edge.His voice dropped to a sexy whisper, and hi Nos lips teased my earlobe, " You're so sweet, Miriam".His wet lips on my ear sent a spark of electricity through me and I moaned loudly.He crossed the lines, yeah.I knew I wasn’t supposed to give him another chance.I kn

BETWEEN SLEEP AND WANT

I was obviously walking into the unknown with a target on my back.But then, uncertainty and danger are parts of life. I might just learn to dance in the rain instead of trying to avoid the storm.It was late in the night now. I had waited in the living room earlier to see movies, and after I slipped into my nightie, I flopped onto the bed.After the bath, my bed was my favorite place.Each day, I looked forward to lying on the softness, which hugged my ass gently and soothed my back.I wiggled my toes at the comfort that I got from being on it and I felt the fibre caress me."It was a long long day", I saidThen, my mind drifted back to the situation James reported to me earlier.I thought about all the people I had interacted with recently, trying to pinpoint who exactly might be lurking in the shadows, but my mind spun in circles the more I tried.With a sigh, I closed my eyes, letting the fatigue wash over me. And, about twenty minutes later, my phone's ringer jerked me up from m

PRIVACY ON TAPE

It was a perfect day to put down the loads I was carrying. There was no place to be, no appointments, no deadlines. Just myself and nothing.On my way downstairs, to the kitchen, I met a few staff members cleaning and tidying up the house.Aside from the Chef, I don't remember talking to either of them. "Hi, ma'am. Good morning", they greeted "Hello. How are you today?", I replied They replied to my greeting, and one of them asked if they could clean my room and change the linens."Sure. Go ahead. Just make sure my things are in place", I replied.They nodded understandingly "Alright ma. Thank you".Despite the emptiness in my marriage, being in it was a comfortable existence.I wasn't being a fool in love, and even though it wasn't exactly fulfilling, I had grown accustomed to the softness of it all-- The luxury and the social status.I didn't even have to worry about the effort required to build a relationship. How sweet!!"Good morning ma", the chef greeted Is my mind just ov

WHEN THEIVES GETS REAL

I spent most of that day wishing that it either happened again or that I relived that moment with my senses awake.It was evening and I'd just finished a meal, but the comfort and relaxation I usually felt at that time of the day eluded me."I'm ready to leave now, ma", the chef saidShe poked her head into the living room with a smile. I nodded in response, and now that she was changed into her casual fit, she looked even more like the lady who was with James the other day.But, whatever."Hey, Thanks for today. Did you pack the leftover chicken though? I enjoyed it", I said, winking at her "Yes ma, I did. It's in the fridge", she replied, blushing "Okay dear, you can leave then", I replied She bowed her head in respect, then turned and quietly exited the room.Just as she left, I felt a familiar itch for escape and without much thought, I went to my room, grabbed my keys, changed my dress, and went right out the door.I knew where I had to be, and it was with him. Despite the gro

MY LIFE MY TERMS

I slowly opened my eyes to find him standing beside my bed, his eyes fixed on me with an unnerving intensity, waiting for my judgment.Not clothed yet, he just stood there, relaxed as the space had always been his.My pulse throbbed in my throat.“You had no right.”He stepped closer then, “You’re right.”The admission threw me off.Why was he there then?He saw the confusion in my eyes, and continued “I didn’t do it because I had the right"."So why did you do it?", I asked "I explained earlier, Miriam. I was worried. I wanted to be sure you were safe" he saidSomething inside of me realigned itself with his words. I felt so irritated."You shouldn't be worried about me. You're pushing me, Darius", I replied “I know,” he said, voice low. “I shouldn’t have said anything.”"That's not the point. I don't care whether you acknowledge it or not. I'm just saying that you shouldn't be in my house at that time ", I spat He paused, then replied, "Okay. Maybe I'll show up in the day."My br

THE MAIN ACT

It was just the two of us in the room, with no staff, but total quietness." You take things really hard. I wonder why it's hard for you to let go".I smiled faintly, like we were sharing a joke.He was trying to tilt the story and I wasn't interested in stopping him."What exactly are you aiming at?" I asked “We can’t keep doing this,” he said. “The tension. It’s not healthy.”I nodded, slowly.Of course, I didn't agree with him. But I wanted to wrap things up quickly. "Yeah, Miriam” he continued, “It's exhausting"I nodded again. "Yeah, it is."He glanced at me; he was probably expecting me to say more, but I didn't give it to him.He stepped forward now, voice soft but careless “I just don’t want this to turn into something bigger than it needs to be. We’re fine" "Yes, we are. We are really fine", I replied He stared at me, waiting for me to clarify or maybe argue.“You’re acting like I did something terrible,” he said.“I’m not acting like anything,” I replied. “ And I don't t

LIVING A LIE

A new day began and I woke up into an empty silence.Surprisingly, the thought of James struck my mind first. And somehow, it felt like my mind was softened towards him.Well, that's just how it is.Last night, it didn't fix anything between us, nor did it make things better."Hmmmmmm" I stretched I rose slowly, slid my feet into my slippers, and walked towards the bathroom.And on my way there, I made sure to avoid looking at the camera.I didn't want him to think I was under his control already. Last night, I sent him a message that I make my own choices, not someone else's, and that no one can take them away from me.He thought watching meant owning but I was glad I was able to show him the part of me that doesn't need him.I fixed my gaze on the bathroom mirror while I brushed. I still had the same face, same eyes, but I wasn't just confused anymore.I rinsed, washed my face, and headed down the stairs.Two staff greeted me on my way down to the kitchen, and I met James sitting d

DISTRACTED

I moved through the house with my life feeling like a stage, where I had to perform.Everything seemed timed, as if my days were trimmed or perhaps rearranged. It was starting to feel like He --Darius was deciding for me.I looked around the room, and the house looked convincing and quiet in the afternoon.My gaze landed on my picture with James standing in the corner of the room.From a distance, it looked like peace, like harmony but it was actually a marriage that's continuing because that's what's expected--- To endure and continue.My marriage looked like a script -- one I didn't write and was expected to follow.And somewhere, somewhere is taking notes."Does he really think he knows everything about me by just watching through a lens?", I muttered softly.The knock came just in time and it shattered the spell.The chef stood at the door, calm and ordinary after I asked her to open the door."Hello, Ma. You can come downstairs now", she said."Yes, Sure. Thanks". I replied I fo

SWITCHING WHEELS

He buttoned his shirt like his soul was elsewhere. He didn't even look at me. I smiled instead.I smiled at the familiarity of the system. Even though our bodies got close, our souls were elsewhere. Sex with James had never felt like a connection earned, it was a ritual completed. Just like today, I was satisfied most times, yet I still felt hollow. I felt used yet untouched.And silence? It settles even heavier than the sheets, always.He reached for his phone and walked out of the room, the door clicking shut behind him."Who's Anna by the way?", I muttered under my breath " It must be the lady at the restaurant".Well, that's on him.It's safer not to react. And, when it comes to him, I have taught my heart to stay quiet.He probably thought of having sex with her before coming into my room. But who cares?I wanted it, too.But, something lingered deep within me. Definitely not jealousy, hurt, or even anger.I don't care, so I can't be hurt.But I wonder why I pay attention to hi
