Sinful Desires

Couple

Alex had twenty minutes left to finish breakfast, she was on autopilot, trying to find her way around the kitchen and make breakfast for Enzo and her husband.

"Hey honey, I think I burnt the toast again. I forgot to put the timer." She shouted, hoping her husband would hear upstairs. He did.

"As usual, don't worry, I'm coming!" Her husband replied from the bedroom.

Two years as a mum and wife, she still couldn't do the simplest thing like breakfast, Alex scolded herself. She ran to the bedroom to pick up Enzo whom she hoped had not soiled his diaper.

"Hey baby, time for your breakfast. I prepared your favourite meal, please eat, okay?" She raised him, kissed his chubby cheeks and played with his tummy.

"Ma-ma," Enzo sputtered, shining his few baby teeth at Alex.

"Who is a good boy? Who is a good, good, good boy? Enzo is." Alex continued to play with Enzo, she did this all the time because who wouldn't? Babies could kill anyone with cuteness.

"Breakfast is ready hun!" Her husband called out to her.

"Coming!"

She carried Enzo and walked to the kitchen, "Thanks honey, you're always a lifesaver." She kissed him.

"I'll do anything for you. Now, you want to do the honour of feeding him?"

"I'll feed him, don't worry." Alex put her son on his baby chair and fed him. She was surprised he finished his food, he always made a fuss whenever he ate.

Right on time, the doorbell rang, and Alex ran to open the door.

"Hi, Mrs Clinton. Thank you so much for helping, my husband and I have an appointment at the family clinic today. I'll be coming a little late."

"No problem at all. Where is the big guy?"

"Right over here." Alex's husband brought Enzo and handed him over to Mrs Clinton. Enzo continued making his baby noise as Mrs Clinton took him away to Day Care.

"Wow, so much peace." Alex heaved a sigh as she climbed the stairs to their bedroom.

"Would you like to take another shower?" Her husband said behind her.

She turned to him, "Why would I want to take a shower when I already had one this morning?" She looked at her husband's face who was looking at her coyly, "Ooh, you mean that shower? I'll always want to have lots of showers with you. Though, I wonder why you're still dressed."

Her husband stripped to his boxers and walked into the bathroom. Alex also stripped to her undies and followed him. When they got in, they turned on the faucet of the basin and the shower. The water rushing out made so much noise. This was what they wanted. So they walked into the shower cubicle and closed the door.

They started whispering to each other, "How are you holding up?" He asked her.

"Anything to stay alive, Josh. Though, the pretence is grating on my nerves."

"We have to keep it up a little longer. You and Junior's life are at stake. They have to believe you have moved on, which you have. But as long as that man remains president, everybody's life is at stake."

"Oh Josh, I don't know what to do. I used to think that I am strong but this is difficult. I can't keep living a lie all because of one man. I can't keep walking on eggshells in my own house because they've got it bugged. This isn't fair. Enzo shouldn't be living this kind of life. He should live in a world where there are no wrongs, where everything is innocent."

Josh put his hands on both her shoulders, "You and I know that that's not the world we live in today. The best we can do is protect him from the evils of this world."

"Thank you for everything Josh, you've been the best friend anyone could ever have" She hugged him.

"I thought I was supposed to be your husband, and shouldn't we be having mind-blowing shower sex right now?"

"Oh shut up, we are done with our sex. Come on, I don't want to be late for work."

They quickly turned off the shower and other faucets. They only turned it on so that it could mask their conversation. Alex and Josh had been living this way since Josh rescued her from Damon's father-in-law.

They had both moved to Vermont where they legally got married just to put up a front. Months after they got married, Alex had her baby. She started teaching at a Preschool while Josh decided to learn a craft, and he became a plumber. A plumber whose father is a millionaire.

Alex didn't know why Josh didn't want to be stable in a particular career. Several times, his father and brother had begged him to take a position in their multi-million-dollar company, but Josh wasn't having any of it. He wanted to be free as a bird, his words.

They usually scanned the house from time to time when they discovered the house was bugged, presumably by the senator, now the President of the United States.

And they were right. It was the president who had their home bugged, to monitor if anyone would break the deal. Alex had often wondered why the men in her life are dangerous and controlling, except for her sweet Josh.

She didn't want this life for her son. Left to her, she would run far away and never look back; but she couldn't do that to her son, and even Damon. As the father of Enzo, he had every right to be in his life. But now was not the right time, they had to keep a low profile until all these were over.

Joh said he was working on it, whatever it was, Alex was not in the picture of it. She had begged Josh to let her in on the plan but he refused and said keeping her away from it was the only thing keeping her safe.

So here they were, pretending that the bugs in the house didn't exist, that there were no cars trailing their every move and that it wasn't just them in their lives, but the President and his minions were part of their lives as well.

After their shower 'sex', Alex kissed Josh goodbye and drove the car to the school. There was no doctor's appointment, they just wanted to have a conversation without all the interruptions since that was their life now.

As she drove, the black sedan came into view. Not long after, the rickety pickup also followed. She wondered if these were supposed to be professionals because if they were, they were doing a poor job of it.

A naughty thought came into her head, what if she stepped on the brake, she would have twenty noses up her ass because they would brake as well. She thought about losing the tail but that would only give her away that she knew she was being followed.

She hated her life. Like she used to say, all she could have done was date a boring college boy and all these wouldn't happen. But she went to fall in love with one of the most powerful men in the world and now, she didn't know what freedom meant anymore.

She hated her life.
