Page 52 of Cursing My Cheating Husband

“That’s correct,” confirmed Nancy, our HR head, who I hadn’t noticed in the crowd. “The company considers this an official wellness event.”

“How is this a wellness event?” I blurted in exasperation.

“It promotes wellness if the staff knows they might get cursed with sexual dysfunction if they’re stupid enough to cheat on a witch,” Nancy answered reasonably, before giving me a disgusted scowl. “Also, I really hate cheaters.”

Others in the group cheered and applauded that proclamation.

I did my best to block it out and focus on Callie, the only person here that truly mattered. The humiliation I felt was painful and intense, and if it was only Duke and Ryder behind it, I’d have been gone. But Callie… she was more than entitled to subject me to this. To worse than this, if she wanted.

Of course, I jinxed myself with that thought. Because it got worse immediately. Callie seductively slid her way right between Duke and Ryder, who both put a protective arm around her.

“I gotta say, Maddox, it was really a turn-on to hear from your buddies about how disgusted they were by your infidelity,” she said, locking her eyes on mine.

“We still feel terrible we didn’t realize what he was doing,” Ryder said, addressing Callie and ignoring me.

“If we’d understood, we would have told you right away,” Duke added, right into Callie’s ear.

“Boys, boys, do not blame yourselves!” Callie said, as the three of them folded tighter into each other. “I certainly know how convincing his lies can be.”

Their touches were growing more sensual and caressing. Envy burned through me. I was so desperate to touch Callie again, and to feel her touch, and to see my two buddies/rivals so freely enjoying what I’ll never have again…

I swallowed. “Are you guys… are you guys fucking?” I said, my voice small.

“Oh no,” Callie laughed, giving me a millisecond of hope that this wasn’t what it looked like.

Just a millisecond.

“Not yet, anyway,” she added.

“Not until tonight!” Duke crowed.

“I thought my first three-way would make the perfect send-off before the trip,” Callie beamed.

“No…” I whispered faintly.

“Yes!” Callie exclaimed. “I hope you packed already. You’ll have a lot of cooking to do this evening.”

“Yeah, we’ll be working up an appetite,” Ryder cackled.

“Preach!” added Duke, as the two of them fist bumped.

As dark dread surged within me, all I could do was struggle not to vomit. Throughout this nightmare, the only tiny consolation had been that no one else knew what was happening to me.

But now everyone in my world knew about my curse… and the fact that my two best “friends” were about to spend the night fucking the woman I loved, and forcing me to listen.

CHAPTER 22

MADDOX

Ipaced wildly at the base of the steps, knowing I was supposed to be cooking for everyone but unable to get started. This was too much. I had to talk Callie out of this.

At last she appeared at the top of the stairs, in the sheerest negligee I had ever seen.

It was not a good sign that she’d chosen lingerie that hid absolutely nothing as the outfit to greet Duke and Ryder when they arrived.

“Callie, please—,” I began, but, in what had become a very familiar move, she immediately raised her hand to silence me.

“You’re going to beg me not to fuck your bros, right?” she asked, her tone as bored as could be.
