Author’s POV

As soon as he got home, he saw her smiling face. God, if this is what married life will feel like, he couldn’t wait to get married to this beautiful woman. She came to him with open arms and he lifted her up.

He nuzzled his face into her neck and placed a kiss, making her moan. Wrapping her legs around his waist, he went to the couch.

She was looking for any sign of betrayal but there was none as he looked at her face in admiration.

“I had no idea that such beauty could exist.” He said it out aloud.

“Are you drunk?” She giggled and he wanted to drink that sound.

“Maybe.” He hid his face in her bosom and took a deep breath.

“How was your day?” She asked.

“Busy, as always.”

“I knew it. That’s why I prepared a bath for you.”

“For us.”

“Ok, Us. Let’s go.” She took his hand and led him to the stairs. He followed her blindly. If she would take him to hell like this, he will gladly follow her.

The bathroom was filled with roses and scented candles. “Let me help you.”

She was helping kids to cross the road. A kid wanted to say something and she bent down to hear. Perfect ass, he thought. She walked a little but turned to look at other kids and it pushed her breasts against the top. Neither busty, nor slim, just perfect boobs, another box checked in his mind. She had a large bun on her head. So long hair, nice when he will wrap them around his hand, and…… A smile grazed his lips. He saw as she smiled and sun shined in a corner of his heart which was dark for years. He was so turned on by looking at her smile. Her lips were a perfect pink. He growled as the pants became too tight. He never used to waste time on details like a smile but she was different. His mouth went dry, his eyes went hazy, and his mind started conjuring up filthy images of him and her. His only thought at

She dropped her keys. “You are late.” He complained.“I know. Julie was unwell.” She walked to the small kitchen. The sink was full of utensils. He must have made something in the afternoon.“I am hungry.” His voice burnt her like acid. “You could cook.” She retorted.“Then what would you do.” This remark made her come out of the kitchen where he was eating something from a pack but hid it as she approached.“What would I do? Seriously? I work 16 hours, John. The least you can do is to keep the house clean, wash your dishes and make us dinner. But no, all you have to do is taunt me. Here, you are eating something, hiding it from me and telling me what would I do when you do nothing. It’s disgusting.” He was just listening to her but then a slap came and she held her face as she fell down on the floor. He had slapp
