How can you say such harsh things to me?" He says with a pout. Wait…wait, what is that pressing against me? "You crazy b*stard." I all but scream the words, but the manic excitement in his eyes doesn't waver as he forces his hips against me.

No sexto ano de casamento, meu marido não me tocava há três meses. Ele dizia que estava muito ocupado e cansado com o trabalho. Amando-o por tantos anos, acreditei sem hesitar. Mas no meu aniversário, ouvi o amigo do meu marido perguntar a ele em alemão: — Você já terminou com a outra lá fora? Ia lá todo dia, nem sei como seu corpo aguenta. — Sua esposa não se importa com isso? Meu marido soltou uma baforada de fumaça, com uma expressão indiferente. — Faz meses que não a toco. Gabriela Nunes é muito boa na cama, ainda não me cansei, que pena que ela engravidou. — Minha esposa não gosta de crianças, então dei a Gabriela uma quantia em dinheiro para ela ir para o exterior ter o filho em breve. Apertei os punhos. Lágrimas caíram em silêncio. Meu marido perguntou, preocupado, o que havia acontecido. Balancei a cabeça. — O bolo que você fez é delicioso, estou tão emocionada. O bolo era doce, mas para mim, que entendia alemão, o coração estava amargo.
