Couples Novels & Stories

I was going to be good with anything she wanted although I was really hoping we wouldn't get over-scheduled. Nothing really caught my eye until I saw the massages. They had the normal sorts of choices, but they also had the increasingly popular 'couple's massage', where a couple can get massages together. I was totally down for that, but my wife had never really been a big fan of massages. I'm not sure if that was because she was conservative or just had had a bad experience before. But I threw out the idea, hoping she might bite. "Hmm... I'm not sure. I've never really figured out how it's supposed to work and what clothes you are supposed to keep on or when you get undressed or things like

“You’ll nail it. And we’re here for anything you need.” The talk turned to a group trip an idea Luca had texted about, a weekend getaway to a couples retreat somewhere fun, all the couples together: Elle and Jack, Luca and Claire, Max and Lila, maybe Sam with her new boyfriend from church. “It’ll be like old times,” Max said, his grin big. “Us hanging out, laughing, no worries.” “Let’s do it,” Elle said, her voice excited, her mind already picturing campfires and late-night talks. “Maybe next month, before wedding planning gets crazy for you two.”

Fortunately, it was only Tuesday, and I had a whole week to clean up my act before Kate returned. I decided to resume my sessions with Candis and tell her what had happened. After updating her, Candis commiserated for a while, then shocked me by starting a conversation about different types of marriage. She began with a discussion of 'open marriages', telling me how a proportion of couples have different degrees of open marriage. In some, both partners take on multiple lovers and still come home together. In others, only the wife or husband take on partners and the other stays faithful.

I told them what they needed to know about me and the introduction ended after me. So far, there are ten couples joining Ex-Factor. Trenton and I, Ethan and Allyson, Mark and Patty, Sam and Leticia, Ryan and Vicky, Allan and Macy, Gabriel and Tori, Vincent and Kate, Zyke and Natasha and last but not the least, Paul and Alice. Five ex-married couples and five ex-couples are fighting for three million. We started eating lunch and we were ushered behind the curtain. We were paired and fell in line so our entrance can be recorded. We were briefed once more and we were reminded that our actions and wor

"You still haven't told me what's up with all these decorations." "Miss Davidson are you that slow?" "Hey—" I said slightly offended. I wasn't slow, just slightly confused. "To demonstrate that this company values family, relationships, love—” his lips curled faintly, as if the word tasted sour, “—we are holding a couples day.” I stopped dead in my tracks. “A couples day?” “Yes.” “You are not serious.” Anthony pivoted on his heel, towering over me with that steady, infuriating calm. “Do I look like I’m joking?”

Anything to end the check-in fast. “And,” she added, lowering her voice, “since you appear to be a married couple, I also included our romantic experience brochure. Candlelit dinners, couples’ massages, sunset beach activities… married couples absolutely love these.” She slid a glossy brochure across the counter toward us. I froze. Jace froze. The receptionist beamed, obviously proud of her helpfulness. “You two are going to have an amazing time. Sometimes a getaway helps strengthen the bond.” Jace snapped out of it first.

A week ago, the news broke that I'd filed a lawsuit against my wife of more than 20 years, Hazel Cooper, the woman who had shared my bed and my life for over half my adulthood. From that moment on, I became the neighborhood's favorite villain. Everyone called me the heartless man who had climbed his way to success and abandoned his wife and child without remorse. In their eyes, Hazel was flawless. She'd married me when I was poor and struggling. She never complained, even when life was hard. She cared for my sickly mother until her final days. She raised our son almost entirely on her own and turned him into a top student, the kind every family boasted about.

"A daughter with your brilliant mind and my prophetic sight. A son who can anchor other people's magic the way you anchor mine. Grandchildren who take for granted that love makes families stronger." "A dynasty built on partnership rather than power," he says with wonder, understanding exactly what I'm showing him. "Exactly." As the dance continues around us, I become aware that we're not the only couple on the floor anymore. Throughout the hall, other pairs have joined us—some clearly established bonds, others who seem to be discovering new connections inspired by what they're witnessing. "Look," I murmur, nodding toward a young couple near the edge of the dance floor who are gazing at each
