Silent tears trickled out of my closed eyes.

He stopped rocking inside me and asked with concern in his voice, “Are you okay?”

I opened my eyes, smiled sadly, and nodded ‘yes’ as more tears trickled down my cheeks.

“Was it before? When we were… being rough?” he asked, his brows knit together as he stared into my eyes, searching for an answer.

I shook my head ‘no.’

“I’ll be back,” I said as I got up.

She immediately reacted in fear. “Who is it? Is it Lou?”

“Don’t worry. I got this,” I said, and walked out naked into the main room.

I answered the phone. “Lou.”

“So. What’s the verdict on our mole?”

“She’s not.”

“And how do you know?”
