Page 72 of Perfect Satisfaction

I make a mad scramble for the covers when I realize my wife caught me rubbing one off the morning after I was in bed with her. Lazily, I inform her, “It’s not like you haven’t seen it before.”

She sneers, “Me and half the known universe.”

Before I can retort, she dashes around to her side of the bed and snatches up her earpiece. “Carry on. I’m sure you can pick up where you left off in your fantasy about the bitch you fucked after you married me.”

Slamming the bedroom door behind her, Sula leaves for whatever she’s doing.

Me? I want to jump from this bed and shake her. Ursula’s the only woman I’ve had since we met, and I know damn well she’d sooner snap my dick off than touch it with the softness she did the first night we were together. Having that visual in my mind, I grab my cock with a grunt and finish the job swiftly.

Still, as ropes of cum lie across my chest and my breathing’s labored, I can’t help but wish I had a fondness for liars.

Then I might be willing to take on my wife again for more than just the money.

CHAPTERTHIRTY-THREE

If you’ve never read Isoroku Yamamoto’s sleeping giant quote, you should.

Why? It might give you a clue about how your roommate/significant other/partner/lover/husband/wife/baby momma or daddy—whatever you call them—may react to being woken from a much needed nap.

It’s beautiful outside. Inside, I’m colder than ice.It has nothing to do with the room temperature and everything to do with my emotional state. I feel myself shutting down.

Day by day.

How am I going to make it? Is the fight even worth it?

Then I think about the people I passed on the way through the lobby, and I dig deep for my core of strength.

Arek Ronan won’t get the chance to break me now.

I fought an emotional battle with myself over the idea of moving to New York when I relocated back to America because I couldn’t bear the thought of running into my husband—a one in an eight million possibility.

The practicality made it a no-brainer. Too many of my clients are based here in the city.

In addition, it allows me to solicit some of the best doctors and lawyers in the United States for the charity I’ve worked tirelessly for. Send Me an Angel not only provides direct support for victims of rape on college campuses, it also works with those victims to press charges against their abusers.

Free of charge.
