A Free Relationship Chapter 8
Ethan's expression shifted. He pushed Felicia away and shot to his feet, dragging Maisie to him. "What the hell are you doing, Maisie?"She struggled to break free. "It hurts. Let me go…""You'd better make yourself clear. What the hell do you mean?"Maisie laughed again. "You wanted me to introduce you to my new man, so I did. Now, you're mad. You're so hard to please, Ethan…"Ethan's expression changed drastically, and he dragged Maisie out with him. Jeremy hurriedly said, "Don't be like this, Ethan. Maisie can't handle your strength…"Ethan stopped and turned to look at him. "I'll settle the score with you later."Jeremy was baffled. "What in the world is going on with you two? Why are you being so weird?"He wanted to run after them to get some answers, but Seth stopped him. He asked, "Have they gotten into a fight, Seth?""Yeah, so don't go over. Let them handle this themselves.""Ethan doesn't look right, though. I've never seen him like that before. It's scary."Seth
A Free Relationship Chapter 9
Maisie remembered that her first sexual experience with Ethan hadn't taken the normal route. It had happened after the class party they'd had after sitting for their college entrance exams.She couldn't hold her liquor, so half a beer had been enough to knock her out. She'd slumped on the table and started muttering gibberish. The teacher knew she and Ethan were an item, so she'd called Ethan over and said, "Take good care of her."Ethan had walked slowly while carrying Maisie home. She wasn't completely out of it, so she remembered that the moon that night had been bright. Both sides of the roads had nice-smelling flowers planted there, and they smelled even nicer when mingled with the smell of Ethan's sweat.His back was broad, and she clung to him like a koala, swinging her legs to the beat of his footsteps. She murmured, "Ethan…"He walked slowly, not seeming to be in a rush to get home. "Yeah?""It'd be nice if we could keep walking like this.""I'd die of exhaustion, then

Maisie smiled, looking down at Ethan with a smug expression. "Don't ask. It's for your own good.""Did you really hook up with another man last night?""Yup!" Maisie laughed out loud and said, "He's better than you."Ethan fell silent."Ethan, you know, even after all these years together, you've never once made me have an orgasm. But he did, all night long," Maisie continued, her voice getting more excited."You're useless, Ethan. If I'd known how much more the world has to offer, I'd have tried it sooner instead of settling on you. If I hadn't slept with another man, I wouldn't have known that there's someone better out there."Maisie added, "Have you given Felicia an orgasm before? I bet she probably faked it, too. My sister and I are both pretty good actresses."While Ethan was rendered speechless, Maisie unbuttoned her shirt slowly and showed him the hickeys on her body. "It's not just my chest. Here, here, and here…"She pointed between her legs. "There, too. Want to take
A Free Relationship Chapter 11
Tension filled the air in an instant.Ethan stared at Seth in disbelief, while Seth merely stood there, unbothered. Felicia held onto Ethan's arm tightly as she feared that he might lash out again.Meanwhile, Jeremy looked the worst. His face was bruised, the corner of his mouth split, and his glasses shattered into pieces, scattering on the ground.Maisie was starting to sober up. She felt a pang of guilt and softly asked Jeremy, "Are you okay?""Quit it." Seth pulled her back and nodded toward Ethan, who looked ready to pounce at any moment.Then, he turned to Jeremy. "You should go. Get yourself to a hospital."Jeremy slowly got up, using a nearby pillar for support. He glanced at Ethan, then at Maisie. "Maisie, if you and Ethan are really over—""Get lost!"This time, it was Seth's turn to get angry.Ethan shoved Felicia aside, causing her to stumble several steps back and nearly fall over. But he didn't care. He stormed up to Seth, his eyes burning with fury. "Seth, are y

Seth leaned down and kissed her, but Maisie pulled away slightly.He stopped, confused.Maisie felt awkward by his stare. "Sorry.""Let me guess. You're going to say we shouldn't see each other anymore, right?"Maisie wanted to deny it, but Seth had already read her mind."Whether it's me or Jeremy, we've both been tools in your little revenge plot against Ethan. Now that you've gotten what you wanted, I'm no longer useful. So, you're just going to leave?"Maisie mumbled guiltily, "I... I don't have to leave right away.""Maisie, what do you take me for? A toy for your amusement?"She retorted, "It takes two to tango. If you're going to say that, then I'm just a life-sized doll to you."He scoffed. "I never realized how free-spirited you are."Maisie said nothing."Or is it that you love Ethan so much that you're willing to plot and scheme, be it to keep him or get back at him? But for those you don't care about, you're completely detached."Seth's voice dropped. "Like me."
A Free Relationship Chapter 13
Seth had actually moved out. Maisie slept for days, recovering from the emotional torment caused by Ethan and Felicia, along with the physical exhaustion from sleeping with Seth repetitively. Eventually, she began to feel like herself again. She wasn't fond of takeout, and there was a small supermarket nearby. So, she went on a shopping spree and stocked Seth's otherwise empty fridge, which had held nothing but a few cans of beer. His apartment was large, occupying over 1,000 square feet. However, as he lived alone, only the master bedroom showed signs of use. The study and gym were well-furnished, but the treadmill was covered in dust.Maisie had nothing to do, so she cleaned the place from top to bottom for three days. While cooking her own meals and enjoying the spotless space, she finally felt like she was back to normal. During the period of conflict with Ethan, she had felt like a completely different person as her mind had been weighed down with resentment. She hadn't l
A Free Relationship Chapter 14
The first time Seth had seen Maisie had been on his way out of the library after an evening study session. She had been huddled in a hidden corner by the entrance, crouching with a few stray cats.She had been so small, barely bigger than the cats themselves. It had been pouring outside, and she hadn't had an umbrella, clearly stranded there by the rain.He had started toward her and had intended to offer his umbrella, but Ethan had beaten him to it. The latter had rushed up from behind, asking, "Seth, do you know her?"Seth had shaken his head."Then, let's go." Ethan hadn't understood why Seth hadn't moved. He glanced back at Maisie and realized she had seemed to be crying. Her eyes had been red and puffy, and her face had been pale.Many years later, Seth would learn that it had been the day Maisie's parents had divorced.It had turned out that her father had been unfaithful and had another child with his mistress. Out of anger, her mother had taken Felicia and had moved abroa
A Free Relationship Chapter 15
Seth had felt pathetic. He had promised himself that he'd give up if this didn't work. But then, he had heard sounds from the room next door at the hotel.The rough breathing of a man, along with the soft moans of a woman.He had succeeded.Perhaps it had been the alcohol or the pressure from work. More likely, it had been the woman Seth had hired—seductive, skilled, and impossible for Ethan to resist.Either way, Ethan had cheated.The two of them had carried on through the night, while Seth had lain awake in his room, staring at the ceiling.…The next morning, Ethan had called, crying, "Seth, do you have time? I could really use a drink."At the bar, Ethan had silently downed glass after glass of alcohol. Seth had tried to stop him. "Take it easy. Your health matters."But Ethan had been on the edge. "Just let me drink."Seth had known why, so he hadn't intervened again. In the end, he had taken Ethan home when he had been completely wasted.Maisie had been worried sick.
