On Mother’s Day, I Met Up with My Husband’s Business Partner
When I arrived at the restaurant in my black dress and lace lingerie, I already knew I wouldn’t leave as the faithful wife I pretended to be.
When I arrived at the restaurant in my black dress and lace lingerie, I already knew I wouldn’t leave as the faithful wife I pretended to be.
He was forty, with rough hands and a mustache I’d never liked. Until I found him lying in the bed in my son’s empty room.
When she sent me the photo from the fitting room wearing lingerie, I closed it without replying. She saw that. That was how it all began.
I’d spent months thinking about her, about her feet, about her mouth. The Halloween party gave us the night we’d both wanted without saying it out loud.
Blindfolded on a hotel bed, you hear someone enter the room. You don't know if it's a man or a woman. You only know you were browsing the app together an hour ago.
The app on the hidden phone said three men, a hotel, no romance. All I had to do was type “yes.” I did it before thinking twice.
I stopped halfway up the stairs. The door was open, and what I saw left me speechless: my wife, on her knees, between my sister’s legs.
Natalia had never slept in the same room with me. That night in Cartagena I discovered she didn’t mind being naked in front of me either.
I looked down when I saw my skirt was shorter than was prudent. I crossed my legs on the stool and, before the cocktail even arrived, I could feel two pairs of eyes fixed on my cleavage.
When she closed her fingers around the card, she whispered that I had twenty minutes to decide whether I was going up to her apartment or staying a journalist.
When my husband left town, the two old men from the fifth floor invited me to celebrate a birthday. What happened on the dining table never should have happened.
While they stayed in the water, he proposed what I’d been imagining for a year. I set my beer down on the counter and said yes before I could change my mind.
When Laura read my message, she canceled all her plans. I didn’t need to say much more: two words were enough to set everything between us on fire.
When the masked guide separated me from Mateo at that colonial hacienda, I knew the fantasy we had whispered in the dark was about to become flesh.
Marcos told her it would be a different night. What Laura didn’t know was that her friends were going to bet chips to win favors from her.
Seven in the morning, my husband still asleep, and I already feel that heat settling between my legs without asking permission. Another day like this. Or worse.
She looked at him as if she’d known him all her life. He smiled too much. And I, sitting across from them, was thinking about what I had done with each of them separately.
When he opened the wrong box, he knew it was a mistake. But when she entered his office, small and frightened, doll and woman became one.
I drove sixty kilometers to find silence. What I didn’t expect was a room designed exactly for my most private fantasies.
