Open Marriage (ON HOLD)

Chapter 43

(Tuesday, June 15, 2021)

Y/N gripped onto Sebastian tightly as they stood in the airport lobby. She knew his flight would be boarding soon, and she would have to say her goodbyes.

"It's only four days, baby," Sebastian expressed, repeating her words from the day before.

"I know," she breathed into his chest. "I just realized how much I'm going to miss you."

"You're not going to miss me. You will be too busy with Josh's recovery and those amazing kiddos to have time to think about me," he commented, pulling back a bit to look down at her. "I am going to miss this beautiful face."

Y/N smiled, feeling his lips connect with hers. Her grasp tightened, causing Sebastian to chuckle.

"I have to go, but I'll call you when I land," he promised, his lips still on hers.

"Okay," she whispered, pecking his lips once more.

"I love you, Pretty Girl," Sebastian smiled, cupping her face.

Y/N couldn't reply to those words, but she did her best to display her feelings to Sebastian with her lips and body pressed against his.

Sebastian groaned, pulling away. "I'm going missing these fucking lips."

She smirked while he slowly pulled away. Their eyes remained locked till Sebastian disappeared into the crowd.

Even though she wanted to chase after the man, Y/N needed to get home for Josh. It took the woman about 30 minutes to get home from the airport. Entering her home, darkness and silence greeted the woman. She frowned, calling out for her husband. Receiving no answer, Y/N pulled out her phone as she climbed the stairs to her empty room.

Tanya to Zac: I'm home.

Tanya to Zac: Are you picking up Josh?

Throwing her phone on the bed, Y/N disappeared into her closet, gathering clothes and placing them on the bed. She stripped off the garments from the night before entering the bathroom. She turned the water on in the shower, adjusting it to be as hot as possible.

The woman stretched, taking in her marred body from her night with Sebastian. Bruises were beginning to appear on her hip bones along with her pelvis. Love bites covered the inside of her thighs, stomach, and breasts. As she stepped under the water, she began to feel her body ache.

"This man is a beast," she mumbled to herself.

The hot water felt like heaven against her skin. It washed away every inch of her weekend with Sebastian. Even if she fixed things with the man before he left for New York, speaking those three words caused their relationship to become crazier. Josh returning home would help her not dwell on it so much.

So lost in her thoughts, Y/N didn't hear the door open to the bathroom. Her body jerked, almost falling when her name echoed through the room.

"Baby, I'm sorry," Zac expressed, standing next to the shower, cracking open the glass door.

"It's okay," she breathed, trying to calm down.

Y/N watched Zac's eyes roam slowly over her body, disappointment spreading across his face. "The kids are at my mom's for a couple of days while we get Josh situated here," he informed, turning away from his wife.

"Josh is home?" she asked, turning off the water and carefully stepping out of the shower.

Zac nodded, handing her a towel, keeping his eyes on her face. "Yeah, I just got him settled in his room."
