  He nodded as he gestured towards the front door. “Okay, let’s go.”

  “Go? Go where?” she asked just as her phone chimed, alerting her to an incoming text message, making her go completely still.

  “To the house for sex,” he said, gesturing lazily towards the house as he continued to move closer to her as another chime sounded and then another.

  “Right now?” she asked, sounding surprised by the suggestion as her car door popped open.

  “Unless you have somewhere else you’re supposed to be,” he said as he closed the distance between them.

  “I, umm, was going to run a few errands first,” she sputtered a bit as she opened her door wider.

  “They can wait,” he said as he leaned down and brushed his lips against hers.

  Another chime.

  “I-I have to go,” she said against his lips, her breaths coming a little quicker as he wrapped his arms around her.

  “Come inside, sweetheart,” he said soothingly as he dropped his hand down to her generous bottom and gave it a squeeze that had her gasping.

  “I need to go,” she whispered weakly as he brushed his lips teasingly over hers.

  “Where?” he asked as he moved his hand over her ass, taking a moment to enjoy himself before he dragged his hand up and-

  “Give it back!” Zoe demanded as she tried to grab the cellphone from his hand, but he simply raised it higher above her reach as he swiped through her messages.

  “Got something you want to tell me?” he asked, grinding his jaw as he read the proof of her betrayal.

  “It’s not what it looks like,” Zoe said, giving up on trying to get the phone away from him and instead moved to step away from him.

  “Then you weren’t trying to sneak off to meet Marybeth at a new buffet?” he asked, turning accusing eyes on his wife just as she made a run for it.

  Part II

  “I can explain,” Zoe said, swallowing nervously as Trevor set her down on her feet in the foyer.

  “Really?” he drawled dangerously low as he kept his gaze locked on her.

  “Yes,” she said, simply to buy herself some time as she watched Trevor reach back and shut the door.

  “I’m all ears,” he said, startling her when he threw the lock.

  “I, ummm,” she said, swallowing nervously as she took a step back, “that is, this isn’t what it looks likes.”

  “So, then you’re not betraying me with that little bastard’s girlfriend?” Trevor demanded, not bothering to go after her, which actually kind of frightened her.

  Holding up a finger, she said, “Technically, I don’t think they’re dating.”

  “I don’t care what they’re technically doing,” he bit out evenly. “I only care about what you’re doing behind my back.”

  “Umm, nothing?” she said, casually glancing over her shoulder as she took another step back to make sure that there was nothing blocking her escape if she needed it and judging by the murderous glare on his face, she was going to need it.

  “Then you weren’t planning on meeting her at an undisclosed location today?” he asked, pointedly holding up her cellphone in case she tried to deny it.

  She shifted more to the right as she took a step back. “I umm, I may have been planning on meeting her for lunch today.”

  “Huh?” he murmured thoughtfully as he looked down at her phone and scrolled through her text messages. “If you were only planning on meeting her for lunch then why did you have to be there by nine?”

  “So that we could make a well-educated decision on what to order for lunch?” she asked, sounding really hopeful as she took another step back, noting once again that he wasn’t trying to come after her.

  “And you needed three hours to do that?” he asked, watching her every move.

  Taking another step back, “Yes?”

  He leaned back against the front door as he made a show of going through her text messages. “I see…..who else was involved?” he asked in a deceptively calm voice as she stood there, frozen on the spot.

  “I-involved in what?” she asked, trying to take another step back, one that would take her into the family room, but her feet wouldn’t listen to her.

  “In this betrayal,” he said, still looking down at her phone, but she knew that he wouldn’t find anything. She’d made sure to delete the other text messages this morning just in case-

  “Haley sold you out this morning,” he announced, never taking his eyes off the phone as she struggled with the knowledge that Haley had sold her out.

  Haley never would have sold her out…..Never!

  “I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she said firmly, sure that Haley would have taken their secret to the grave.

  “She confessed to Jason last night,” he said with a careless shrug.

  “I don’t know what you’re talking about,” she said, shaking her head as she took another step back even as she had to wonder if that was the reason why she hadn’t heard from Haley since yesterday afternoon.

  “She’s talking right now,” he said, casually scrolling through her phone.

  “There’s nothing to tell?” she said weakly as she took a step back, wondering why she’d let Marybeth talk her into doing this.

  Okay, so maybe the idea of screwing over her husband and all of his male relatives for her own joy may have had something to do with it, but she was still going to blame Marybeth for this one.

  “You want to tell me why you did it?” he asked, finally looking up at her.

  She could have done and said a lot of things to save her ass at that moment, she could have named names, made a run for it or simply denied it, but she didn’t do any of things.

  Instead, she opened her mouth and said the one thing that guaranteed her safety.

  “Arrangement.”

  Part III

  “Arrangement.”

  Oh…Fuck…No…

  Swallowing hard, he stared in disbelief at the only woman in the world who had the power to take him down with one word. He still wasn’t sure how’d she done it, training his poor misguided cock like this, but she had. It didn’t matter where he was or what he was doing, all he needed was to hear that one word and he felt like he’d die if he didn’t have her.

  Giving him a knowing look, she turned around and walked up the stairs while he stood there, struggling to get control. He had questions for this woman and she would answer them. She’d been going behind his back for months now and…and…ummmm…

  A pained groan left him as he watched Zoe pause halfway up the stairs to pull off her shoes and gently toss them aside. She slowly started back up the stairs as she pulled off her shirt and tossed it aside, leaving her in a lacy lavender bra and jeans. By the time she made it to the landing she was shimmying out of her jeans and kicking them aside, revealing a pair of matching panties.

  Licking his lips hungrily, he found himself following after her as though he was in a trance. He tried to fight it, he really did, but he couldn’t, not when he knew what was waiting for him.

  Without a word, he followed her down the hallway, watching as she reached back and unhooked her bra. She held it out to the side and dropped it to the carpeted floor as she stepped inside their room. He wasn’t sure when he’d started removing him own clothing, but by the time he’d joined her in the bathroom he was already shoving his boxers off.

  “Are you mad at me?” Zoe asked as he watched as she pulled her panties down, bending over in the process and giving him a view that had him shifting anxiously behind her.

  “Huh?” was all he could manage and yeah, he was that fucking weak.

  “For going behind your back?” she asked in that same breathless tone that was normally reserved for when she was moaning his name, making it increasingly difficult to think.

  “No, no of course not,” he mumbled absently as he watched as she leaned over, giving him another view of heaven, as she started to fill the large garden tub. Her beautiful ass swayed back an
d forth as she adjusted the temperature and added bath salts to the water.

  “Are you sure?” she asked, glancing over her shoulder as she placed the small canister of bath salts back on the shelf.

  “Sure?” he asked, struggling to figure out what she was asking.

  The smile that she rewarded with made his hungry cock very happy. “Do you want to join me for a bath?” she asked as she carefully climbed in the large bath and sat back on her knees as she watched him with that sensual smile that told him exactly what she had in mind.

  Unable to respond at this point, he carefully stepped in the tub and sat on the edge of the tub without waiting to be asked. Nibbling on her bottom lip, Zoe ran her wet hands over his thighs, gently pushing them apart as she leaned forward and pressed a kiss right below his navel.

  “You’re sure that you’re not mad?” she whispered, pressing teasing little kisses down his stomach next to his eager cock that was demanding her attention as she slowly ran her hands over his thighs.

  He opened his mouth to answer, but all that came out was a loud groan as she ran her hand over his balls and gave them a gentle squeeze, robbing him of the ability to talk or think. Licking his lips, he spread his legs further apart, giving her room to torture him as he reached down and cupped one of her large breasts, earning a moan that had his cock twitching.

  He ran his fingers over the hard nipple begging for his attention and gave it a gentle tug as Zoe rubbed her cheek over the underside of his cock, pressing sweet little kisses along his shaft. By the time that he switched his attention the other breast Zoe was already tracing his cock with her tongue.

  “Fuck,” he groaned as she flicked her tongue over the sensitive spot just below the head of his cock.

  He gently tugged on her nipple as he watched her take the tip in his mouth. She shifted on her knees as she slowly took him in her mouth, suckling on his cock even as she teased it with her tongue.

  This was fucking heaven, he thought as he cupped her cheek, encouraging her to keep going. It never ceased to amaze him just how fucking good her mouth felt on him. She knew what he liked, how he liked it and when to back off. So, when she pulled back after only a few minutes and shifted back, he knew exactly what she wanted next.

  Never taking his eyes off her, he reached over and shut the water off as moved off the edge and sat down in the large tub. He leaned back and shifted his legs closer as he took her hands and helped her climb on his lap. She wrapped her arms around him as she leaned in kissed him.

  “I missed this,” she said as he wrapped his arms around her and pulled her closer, making him chuckle.

  “It’s only been a few hours,” he reminded her, groaning as he thought about the way he woke her up this morning.

  She smiled against his mouth with a small chuckle. “I was talking about having the house to ourselves.”

  “It has been a while,” he agreed with a soft groan as she adjusted herself on his lap until she had her wet slit pressed against his cock.

  “I really missed this,” she said, shifting onto her knees as she reached down between them and wrapped her hand around his cock.

  “Me too,” he said, cupping her hips and helped steady her as she slowly slid down, impaling herself on his cock.

  A groan caught in his throat as he slid inside. God, she was so fucking wet and tight. She wrapped her arms around him tighter, pressing her breasts against his chest as she took him all the way. For a moment, she sat there, not moving as he kissed her and ran his hands all over her, enjoying the feel of the woman that he loved in his arms.

  He wanted to hold her like this for the rest of his life, kissing her and feeling her tight sheath wrapping around his-

  “They made a fucking list!” Jason suddenly yelled from downstairs, startling them both and reminding him of the reason that he’d taken the day off from work.

  He needed to deal with his wife.

  Part IV

  “Uh oh,” she mumbled as Trevor stilled under her.

  Worrying her bottom lip between her teeth, she risked a glance up to find her husband glaring at her. Well, that couldn’t be good, she decided just as self-preservation kicked in and she tried to climb off his lap.

  Unfortunately for her, his homicidal reflexes were a lot quicker.

  “Where are you going, sweetheart?” he asked in a deceptively calm tone as his hold around her tightened, keeping her ass firmly locked on his lap.

  “Ummm, to say hello to Jason?” she said, forcing a smile as she casually tried to get off his lap, but he wasn’t having that.

  “I think he’ll be fine for a few minutes,” Trevor drawled as he leaned back, getting more comfortable as he shifted his hold around her so that he was cupping her hips.

  She swallowed nervously as she shifted on his lap, looking for a weak spot in his hold. “It would be rude to ignore him,” she pointed out, licking her lips nervously.

  Keeping his eyes locked on her, he said loudly, “There’s beer in the fridge and burgers in the freezer.”

  “Cheese and buns?” Jason asked after a slight pause.

  “Help yourself,” he bit out as he continued to glare at her, which she’d have to admit was a bit disconcerting considering that he was still inside her.

  “M-maybe I should go help him,” she suggested with a hopeful smile.

  “He’s fine,” he bit out, making her shoulders sag in defeat.

  Deciding to use an old favorite, and one that never failed, she opened her mouth to say the word that guaranteed her safety when he shook his head.

  “Don’t even think about it,” he said evenly and she couldn’t help but wonder if he realized that he was still inside her.

  “Fine,” she said with a defeated sigh.

  “Now,” he said, gently caressing his thumbs over her hips, “why don’t you tell me about this list you made.”

  “The list?” she asked, hoping to buy herself some time as she glanced around the large bathroom, desperately looking for a way to escape, but there was none.

  “Mmmhmm,” he murmured, gripping her hips and-

  “Oh, God!” she gasped as he shifted her on top of him.

  “The list?” he repeated as he continued to slowly shift her on top of him.

  “Umm, it’s a list of all the men that I’m sleeping with?” she said, knowing that admitting the truth would get her killed.

  “I see,” he murmured thoughtfully as he leaned in and brushed his lips against hers before he sat back, appearing relaxed as shifted his hands so that his thumbs were sliding over her slit, teasing her and making it difficult to think straight.

  “What was really on that list?” he asked as he slid one hand up until it was covering her breast, caressing it and teasing her nipple with gentle pulls and caresses.

  “Ummmm…..”

  “Was it a list of buffet restaurants?” he asked slowly as he watched his hands move over her.

  “Maybe?” she asked, licking her lips as she realized that she’d been slowly riding him.

  God, he felt good!

  “And why exactly were you creating a list of buffets?” he asked as he shifted his attention to her other breast, gently flicking his thumb over her hard nipple.

  “For leverage,” she gasped as he circled his thumb around her clit, teasing the sensitive bundle of nerves.

  “I see,” he murmured thoughtfully as he gently squeezed her breast. “For what exactly?”

  “Girl scout meetings, parent teacher conferences, fundraiser meetings, errands, food shopping and dentist appointments,” she admitted absently as she rolled her hips in a twisting motion that had them both groaning.

  “You were going to bribe us, huh?” he asked, licking his lips as he watched her move on him.

  “Mmmhmm,” she moaned, licking her lips as she continued to ride him.

  He chuckled as he removed his hand from between her legs so that he could cup her nape and pull her down for a kiss that had her breaths coming quicker. “I’m i
mpressed,” he said with a groan against her lips.

  “Are you mad?” she asked, moaning as she wrapped her arms around his shoulders and held on as she slowly moved back and forth on him, loving the way he felt.

  “No, baby, I’m not mad,” he said, moving his hands down and gently gripped her bottom and helped move her.
