Work Wife

She had built cathedrals out of the smallest things he said about Susan.

Audrey thought she knew her husband. Then one honest admission in the dark changed everything: Alan wanted Susan—his sharp, vibrant work colleague—if things were different. The confession didn’t shatter her. It awakened something raw and undeniable between her thighs.

When Susan arrives at their door, the three of them cross a line. Audrey tastes another woman for the first time while her husband watches. Then she sits close enough to see every detail as Alan takes Susan on their bed—slow and deep, then hard from behind—while Audrey’s hands stay twisted in her lap, trembling with need. The taste of them together on Susan’s fingers afterward only deepens the ache.

Later, with Alan still inside her, Audrey begs for every filthy detail about the woman who had just come undone with her husband. What she learns about herself in that moment is more dangerous than any secret.

This is surrender dressed as curiosity, jealousy sharpened into desire, and the strange, perfect heat of watching the man you love come undone in someone else.
