My secret lover
Though I did secretly wish he would call me his, but for pride, not status.
With trembling hands, I knocked on the dark wooden door. I heard him murmuring into the phone. I didn’t want to interrupt and thought this was an excellent opportunity to ensure things didn’t drag on.
"Bradley?" I called.
The murmuring ceased, and I almost heard the sigh he let out.
"Come in." His incredibly deep voice only made me more nervous.
I smoothed my clothes and buttoned my dark coat before turning the handle. My lips were dry, and a chill ran down my spine as I found my husband behind his desk. His eyes rose to meet mine, along with his arched brow as he looked me over from head to toe.
