Just Once

Three years of marriage brought nothing but a thorn to my heart. My child was critically ill and in need of treatment. My husband didn't care and even called me unfaithful. In my desperation, I sold my body and soul in exchange for the recovery of my child. His name was Benjamin. Dominating the underworld and influencing politics, he was like a poppy that impressed, captivated, broke, and disillusioned me. He said that different from the others who approached me only for sex, he wanted every part of me. He also said that I was his only one and that nothing in this world could compare with me. Then he told me that these were all lies. I told him that these were true to me.

I scowled as he walked away holding his clothes. "Do I have time to shower?" I inquired. Jeremy didn't answer verbally, but he did throw a thumbs up over his shoulder.

After a quick shower, I slipped on my dress along with my new shoes. "Hey. Jeremy" I called out while opening the door. He came from down the hall wearing a button up with the sleeves rolled to his elbows. He raised a questioning eyebrow at me. "I- uh" I lost my train of thought.

My mate laughed at me. "I think you're drooling a bit" he teased.

I clicked my tongue and came back to reality. "Can you zip me up?" I asked while turning my back to him. He zipped up my dress, his hand lingering at the top. "Thanks" I mumbled, letting my hair cascade over the zipper.

"You're gorgeous" he stated, kissing the side of my neck.
