I'll Take You for Myself

I slept with the first man I met. Just as I wanted to— I got back at my husband for half a year of endless cheating! But why don’t I feel any easier at all? I slide my gaze over the guy’s perfect body and look under the blanket, still hoping it was a mistake— but no. I’m naked. Absolutely! What a nightmare! And I don’t even remember his name.

I pull the blanket to slip off the bed, but suddenly the guy gathers me into his arms and pulls me closer.

“Already running away, grown-up girl?” I hear a smile in his voice.

“Prefer walking around the hotel naked? Or did you just forget that your things are in the dryer?”

Only circumstances are clearly against the two of them being together.
