“I promise.”

Fifteen

Jessa

Everything changed between us the second I let my guard down.

From the moment I coerced Andy into the bathroom to take a shower, I knew resistance was futile. I was tired of lying to myself, beaten down to barely anything, and caught in a life I didn’t want to live.

Though, the internal battle continues to be fought for the sake of my son. Bentley deserves a good life and loving parents, but even with my unconditional love for him, I’m not his father. The disappointment runs deep, not understanding how Benedict turned into a cold-hearted man, the complete opposite of the man I fell in love with.

Then, there’s Andy.

My safe place.

The only place to ever make me feel alive and secure at the same time. When I’m with him, I can’t explain it, as nothing else matters, and I’m free to be the person I want to be.

I think back to all my moments with Benedict. Our foundation was built on lust, a large fog that plays with your mind and leads to foolish decisions. I’d placed Benedict on this throne, wishing he would be everything I wanted, but in the end, I was distracted by all the changes in life to notice what was missing between us.

All-consuming love.

The kind of love you can’t or will not breathe without.

From the moment we met, it was the thrill of new things—new places, new people. The proposal came as a surprise, and the wedding was so intricate to plan. The awaited honeymoon in Greece, then finding out we were pregnant. The preparations while pregnant again distracted me, and then the birth of Bentley.

Since the day my son was laid in my arms, his entire being has been my sole focus.

But now, I’m torn. My desire for Andy is greater than I ever imagined possible. Every time I’m around him, I struggle to ignore how devastatingly handsome he is. He always has been, but it’s hard to resist him when you’re finally looking at him while wearing clear glasses.

I did, though, sort of.

He gave me every chance to walk away and say no. But more than ever, I wanted something intimate from him without pushing myself to the extreme.

And that’s what he gave me in the shower.

I watched every move, every stroke, mesmerized by how sculpted his body is to his perfect cock. I was fixated on how delicious it looked while hard inside his palm.

My hands moved on their accord into my panties, but I came while watching him explode all over his hand with only a few rubs. My moans filtered out inside the steaming hot bathroom, but my chest could barely catch.

When Andy stepped out, his devious smirk echoed my exact feeling. We both got what we wanted withouttechnicallycrossing the boundaries.

He hadn’t touched me.

Saying goodbye to him was hard, given his upcoming work trip to Spain. The thought of him traveling with Anastasia evoked jealousy, but I have to trust him, just like he needs to trust me.

Back at home, I quickly head to the room to shower and change into some sweats, planning to spend the late afternoon playing with Bentley. We settle for staying in the den, watchingToy Story, which he loves, and a plate of fruit we both snack from. Surprisingly, his attention is on the movie, his eyes perking up every time he hears the name,Andy.

Benedict opens the door during the pizza planet scene, still dressed in his clothes from today. Leaning against the wall with a stiff stance, his arms are crossed over his chest, and his expression remains hard.

“Where were you today?”

Bentley briefly looks up at him but doesn’t falter, shifting his gaze back onto the screen. No surprises, he hasn’t even said the word ‘Dada’ yet.

“Out.”

“Out?”

“Yes, out.”
