I was wandering aimlessly when he lifted his head from a second-floor window and held my gaze as if he knew, before I did, that we’d end up tangled in his sheets.
We had been lovers for three years when he made that proposal. He wanted to watch me with another man—and knowing he was watching changed everything I felt that night.
After twenty years in a starched uniform, I had never trembled in a hallway. That night, holding the ice bucket, I knew I was going to break.
I’d spent weeks with that unbearable need to be taken. One night I decided to act: I got made up, dressed to provoke, and met a well-endowed stranger.
