Wifey Talk [COMPLETED, 18+]

Chapter forty-five

SOFIA'S POV

Today was the day that Ioane and I had planned to go diving with sharks sans cages. I hadn't told James about it because I figured he'd freak, and in my head, it was better to ask for forgiveness than it was to ask for permission.

"Minimize splashing as that is an indication of injured prey to the sharks. Keep your arms to yourselves and fins to the sharks to appear big and solid." Our guides have been very knowledgeable about sharks, and I feel prepared getting into the open water. I also feel their passion about sharks and ocean conservation, and when I get my first glimpse of a shark while diving with Ioane, I'm left awestruck. The shark steals my breath.

I recognize several oceanic blacktip, Galapagos, and sandbar sharks. They're such magnificent, powerful creatures that are so misunderstood.

We're only allowed in the water for thirty minutes before we head back to shore. The water is choppy and rough, and I'm glad I swallowed seasickness medication before coming today.

"How was the dive for you?" Ioane asks. We're standing on the sand now.

I grin at him. "So much fun! I'm so glad I came back to do this with you."

I lean in and kiss him on the cheek. He smells like salty sea water, and I allow him to pull me close into his arms. "What do you want to do now?" He asks.

"Let's stay on the beach and make sandcastles," I tell him.

So we fool around like children, seeing who can build the tallest structure. Ioane is pretty good, but I have some skills myself. I build a giant moat, and then I work on building a front door. Unfortunately, the waves sweep over my work and turn the sand into mush.

"I feel like I win," Ioane tells me, trying not to laugh at my "castle." It looks more like a large lump of sand at this point.

I roll my eyes. "You waited for the water to wash over mine before claiming you won," I complain.

"I still win," he says. "And winners deserve prizes."

"What prize do you want?" I ask him.

"I want a kiss," he says.

That makes me grin. "Of course. I saw that coming."

I beckon him closer before cupping his face and kissing him hard. He picks me up and wraps my legs around his waist, holding me against the wooden hut where the outdoor showers are. We make out until Ioane kisses his way down my neck. Then, we get interrupted by the police.

"C'mon guys, this is a public beach. We've got kids here," the officer says.

"Sorry officer," I apologize, blushing madly.

The officer smirks. "I'm happy for you Ioane. Is this your girlfriend that you've been hiding from us?"

If I'm not mistaken, Ioane actually blushes. "How many times do I have to tell you Palani? She's just a friend," he says.

"I wish I had friends like yours," Palani says, causing me to flush.

JAMES' POV

When it reaches the end of the day and Sofia still hasn't called, I get anxious. Is everything okay? What is she doing with Ioane that she can't stop for five minutes to let me know? I stay up all night waiting for her call, but I receive nothing.

It isn't until 6 AM the next morning that I decide to call her. What part of talking every day with me does she not understand? Sofia ends up missing my call, but then I receive a FaceTime call back from her within five minutes.

The first thing I notice is that she's wearing one of her negligees around him. What the fuck? That exposes all of her skin. I thought she only wore those around me.

"Why didn't you call earlier?" I ask her.

"We were out late. Ioane took me for dinner and dancing again."

"Okay, did you have fun?"

"So much fun! I want to go every night."

"What did you do during the day?" It was midnight for Sofia right now.

"Promise you won't get mad," she says.

"Why would I get mad?" I ask her.

"Just promise," she says.

"Fine," I promise.

"Ioane and I went shark diving without cages," she says quickly.

My mind erupts. What the hell? I thought I explicitly told her not to do that. What was the point of us having these conversations if she was just going to go ahead and defy me?

"It was very safe," she reassures me. "We saw lots of shark species. And it's not like we were swimming with great whites."

"I just don't understand why you feel the need to do dangerous things where you could get hurt. I want to make sure that you're safe and protected. Ioane doesn't have that same interest. He just takes you here and there and wherever, never caring about your safety. I care," I tell her.

"That's not true. I'm very safe when I'm with him," she tells me.

"Sofia, shark diving in open water is not safe!"

The line goes quiet, and she doesn't say anything. Great, now I'm feeling bad for snapping at her. 

"I thought you said you wouldn't get mad," she says.

"Well, I lied. I didn't know what I was agreeing to," I tell her.

"I think I'm just going to go. I had a really nice day today, and you're ruining it. Call me back when you're ready to stop being an asshole," she says. My jaw drops. She never swears. The line cuts, and I feel myself even more pissed off than before.

Fuck this, I'm going to work. I arrive an hour earlier than usual, so I text Mara to get to the office. She arrives within fifteen minutes of me.

"How can I help you?" She asks. She has her hair twisted back with a clip, and the blouse she's wearing has the top few buttons undone.

I beckon her closer. When she's standing right next to me, I unclip her hair.

"Bend over," I demand. "I'm going to fuck you hard and fast."

If she surprised, she doesn't show it.

Mara drops her skirt eagerly, bending over my desk. I'm amazed to find that she isn't wearing panties. I slide into her with ease, and then I fist her hair with one hand while I fuck her senseless.

She's holding her hand over her mouth, muffling her moans, and when I come undone, she falls apart too. I watch her shakily pull her skirt back up and tuck her shirt back into it.

"Don't forget about your early morning meeting with Henderson," she tells me, re-twisting her hair.

I nod my head, fixing my belt. That did a decent job of getting my frustration with Sofia out of my body. At this rate, I'm going to have to fuck Mara every day until she gets back just to cope.
