TAMMY’S POVI don’t have concrete evidence that Sean’s cheating on me. But what else could explain his strange relationship with Sue? Him constantly rushing to her side at a moment’s notice. And now he’s avoiding me? I need answers! Before I completely break down. I settle myself on the sofa and open up my laptop. Immediately, I see the wallpaper I set on my home screen: Sean and I kissing at the altar on our wedding day. My stomach sinks. I really hope more than anything that I’m wrong about Sean and Sue. Because if I’m right, my whole world will come crashing down.I double click on my browser and start typing into the search bar:Signs he’s cheating on youI hit ‘Enter’. The answers all seem so generic. Nothing here is the concrete answer I need. I slam my laptop closed in frustration after only reading for two minutes.This is stupid, I’m wasting my time. I completely forget that I have to be at work soon. I rush off to get showered and ready for the day ahead. I have a feelin
TAMMY’S POVI quickly open the message from her.Got me anything cute from Greece? RDamn, I completely forgot about shopping during my honeymoon from hell. I sigh and start replying:Hey Rach, you wouldn’t believe how expensive things are over there. I’ll make it up to you. Dinner? On me.One minute later I get a response from Rachel.I’m in.We decided to meet at a new little Italian restaurant .***“I’m telling you, Tam, I think Carl could be the one. He really seems different. Not like the usual boys I date; so unemotional and immature. The sex is always fabulous but generally they’re misogynistic assholes.” Rachel says, taking a sip of her Pinot Grigio“So why exactly do you think he’s the one, Rach?” I ask, wanting more details.Rachel has always been a serial dater, way more liberal than my Catholic upbringing. Ever since college, she’s been playing the field and exploring her sexuality. I, on the other hand, was already dating Sean. My first boyfriend and my first and only lo
TAMMY’S POVI quickly catch up to Rachel on the sidewalk. She is bee-lining it for the lingerie store that Sean just took Sue into. This is bad. I don’t want this drama to unfold in front of my best friend. I already feel bad enough as it is that I haven’t been completely honest with her. I’m too ashamed to admit what I’m really suspecting is happening between my husband and his step mom. “Rachel, uhm, hold on. Just wait a second. We don’t want to go in there and cause a scene, right? There’s really no point. It’ll make everything so much worse!”“Tammy, don’t be ridiculous. He’s taken another woman into a fucking lingerie store! We’re going in there and strangling him with a set of suspenders. Maybe they’ve even got some of those leather whips in stock.” “Rachel, please! Let’s just forget this and go home!” I plead as she keeps walking.Suddenly, Rachel stops dead in her tracks and turns to look at me.“Tammy, what the hell is going on?”“What do you mean?” I ask, trying to act no
TAMMY’S POVMy mind is racing in the cab drive home. I hope I was right about not really seeing that it was Sean and Sue walking into Peachy Intimates, that it could have been a case of mistaken identity in the evening city lights. I get home to classic opera playing through the speakers and Sue sitting in the living room on the sofa, sipping a martini. She spots me walking towards the hallway that leads to my bedroom.“Oh hi, darling! You look lovely. Were you out somewhere nice?” She asks, taking an olive out of her glass and delicately placing it in her mouth.“Yeah, uhm, I had a nice dinner in town with one of my girlfriends, at that new Italian place in town. You know, right next to the theater…?” I realize I’m trying to get some kind of reaction from her, something that gives away where she was and what she was doing earlier. “Oh, and that cute little lingerie store is quite close to the restaurant; Peachy Intimates.”Sue swallowed her olive with a soft gulp. A smile returned t
TAMMY’S POVThe next morning, I threw all his shiny underwear into the trash can. Sean didn’t notice it.Finally, it's the weekend. I Didn’t expect Sue to speak to me after what happened last night. “Darling! Good morning.” She says taking a long gulp of coffee from her large mug. “ Ángel is grinding a new roast I found at the farmer’s market, this one’s an Arabica. Absolutely divine! Can I make you a cup?”Having her be so kind after the scene I caused last night has caught me off guard. If I really think about it, she’s always been really nice to me, especially in this last year of mine and Sean’s marriage. I decided the best way forward is to return the favor. Even if I feel conflicted about it. On one hand I feel like she cares and is trying her best to be supportive. On the other hand, I feel like if she cared, she would at least give Sean and I space right now, when things seem so strange. But she seems more involved than ever.“Yeah, that sounds lovely, thank you.” I say, ge
TAMMY’S POV“Get on me.” Sean breathed into my mouth as we kissed, deep and hot, on the back seat of the parked limousine. I moved from my seat next to him and straddled his lap, facing his gorgeous face. His eyes smoldered with lust for me in this tight mini dress he bought me.As I seat myself in his lap, my legs parted over him, I can feel his stiffness against my entrance. I softly start riding his bulge, weaving my fingers through his hair, tilting his head back so that I can suck on his bottom lip.“Fuck, Tam. I haven’t felt you like this in a while. I forgot how damn good it feels.”“Mmm-mm, tell me about it.”, I agree, moving to his top lip to take a nibble. I feel the moist heat on my panties as Sean says “Do you want me inside of you?” I giggle in response, “It was hard enough getting this dress on, I don’t know how I’m supposed to take it off.”“No need.” he grins, lifting me by my hips ever so slightly, enough for him to unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. “But befor
TAMMY’S POVI slowly sit up in the bed, rubbing my tired eyes open. It must be close to 2AM in the morning. It can only be Sue and Sean up at this time, unless it’s Ángel and Valentina but there is no way in hell they’re still in the apartment, they’re not live-in staff. Sue told me she couldn’t possibly share the same floor of an apartment with her service staff.I hear a loud laugh followed by a shhh sound. It seems like they don’t want to be heard. Why are they sneaking around?I quietly get out of bed and tiptoe to the bedroom door. I still can’t hear the chatter properly. I need to get closer.I stalk past the guest rooms and stop before the living room archway. It’s definitely Sean and Sue. I start feeling nervous. What do I think I’m going to hear? Didn’t I just accept the fact that I was being insecure and jealous when it comes to their relationship? For them to be up chatting at this hour doesn’t help my neurotic brain. Maybe if I can make out what they’re saying it’ll put m
TAMMY’S POVI quickly stumble to my feet and back to my bedroom where I try to close the door as softly as possible and jump back into bed. I close my eyes, needing to fall back asleep. But I can’t. Not as I hear a set of footsteps walking down the hallway and towards the bedroom. The door to our bedroom swings open. I don’t look over but I know Sean is standing in the doorway, looking at me hiding away in the bed.“Tammy?” Sean asks from the doorway.“Tammy, come on, I heard you in the hallway just now. Were you listening to my conversation with Sue? Listen, we were just joking…Tam? Honey?”I’m frozen in anger, wanting to confront him but not knowing what to say. He walks into the room and sits at the foot of the bed. He tries to rub my foot under the cover but I pull away.So much for my “sleeping’ act. Now he knows I’m wide awake and that it was me hiding in the hallway. “Tammy, look, Sue just wants what’s best for us, okay? Yes, she got those tickets to the concert and bought yo
