Emily stood in the bedroom, packing her suitcase with the precision of someone who had done this a hundred times before. She glanced over at Ethan, who was leaning against the doorframe, watching her with a mixture of concern and resignation.
"This trip is going to be longer than usual," Emily said, folding a blouse and placing it neatly in her suitcase. "There are a few conferences and client meetings that I can't miss. I'll be gone for over two weeks."
Ethan nodded, trying to keep his expression neutral. "I know it's important," he replied, stepping forward to help her. "Just make sure you take care of yourself while you're out there."
Emily smiled up at him, a hint of sadness in her eyes. "I always do, but I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too," Ethan said, leaning down to kiss her softly. "But we'll talk every day, and before you know it, you'll be back."
She nodded, her smile growing a little brighter. "You're right. And when I get back, we'll plan something special, just the two of us."
"Sounds perfect," Ethan agreed, pulling her into a hug.
As they held each other, Ethan couldn't help but think of the opportunity Emily's absence presented. He knew it was wrong, but the thought of having Sophia all to himself for two weeks was too tempting to resist. As much as he cared for Emily, the excitement of his relationship with Sophia had become something he couldn't easily walk away from.
The next morning, after seeing Emily off to the airport, Ethan felt a strange mix of emotions—guilt, excitement, and anticipation all swirling together. He drove back home, already planning the next few days in his mind. He wanted to give Sophia something she had never experienced before, something that would deepen their connection even further.
As soon as he was back in his car, Ethan called Sophia.
"Hey, it's me," he said when she picked up. "Emily just left for her trip. I was thinking... why don't you come over tonight? We could spend some time together, just the two of us."
There was a pause on the other end of the line, and Ethan could almost hear Sophia's heartbeat quicken. "Are you sure?" she asked, her voice tinged with excitement and a hint of nervousness. "What if someone sees me?"
"No one will," Ethan reassured her. "You can park in the garage, and no one will notice. I want you to come over. I want you to... take on the role of my wife while Emily's away."Sophia's breath hitched at his words. "Your wife?" she repeated, her tone a mix of surprise and curiosity.
"Just for these two weeks," Ethan said, his voice low and persuasive. "I want you to experience what it's like. We can be together without any distractions, without any need to hide."
Sophia was silent for a moment, and Ethan could feel her hesitation. But he also knew the pull between them was strong, and he was confident she would agree.
"Okay," she finally said, her voice soft but filled with anticipation. "I'll come over tonight."
"Good," Ethan replied, a smile spreading across his face. "I can't wait to see you."
That evening, Sophia arrived at Ethan's house, her car tucked away safely in the garage. She stepped inside, taking in the space that was usually reserved for Emily. It felt surreal to be there, to know that for the next two weeks, she would be stepping into Emily's shoes, if only temporarily.
Ethan greeted her at the door, pulling her into his arms for a deep, lingering kiss. "I'm glad you're here," he murmured against her lips. "This is going to be our time, Sophia. I want to give you something special, something different."
Sophia looked up at him, her eyes wide with a mix of excitement and nervousness. "What do you mean?" she asked, her voice barely above a whisper.
Ethan took her hand and led her to the living room, where he had already set the scene. Soft lighting bathed the room in a warm glow, and the scent of lavender filled the air. On the coffee table, a small collection of items was neatly arranged—a few elegant silk scarves, a blindfold, and a sleek, discreet box.
Sophia's eyes widened as she took in the scene. "What... what is this?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly.
Ethan smiled gently, guiding her to sit down on the couch. "I want to explore something with you," he said softly. "You told me you've never really experienced any man. I want to change that. I want to show you how it can be... how it should be."
Sophia bit her lip, her nerves evident in the way her hands fidgeted in her lap. "I trust you, Ethan," she said, though her voice was shaky. "But I've never done anything like this before."Ethan sat beside her, taking her hands in his. "You don't have to be nervous," he reassured her. "We'll go as slow as you want. This is about you, Sophia—what you want, what you're comfortable with."
Sophia looked into his eyes, searching for reassurance. Finding it there, she nodded slowly. "Okay," she whispered. "Show me."
Ethan leaned in, capturing her lips in a tender kiss. He could feel her trembling slightly, and he took his time, letting the kiss deepen naturally. As their lips moved together, he gently guided her back against the cushions, his hands beginning to explore her body with slow, deliberate touches.
Sophia's breath quickened as Ethan's hands moved across her skin, his touch both comforting and exciting. He slowly removed her clothing, his fingers tracing every curve, every line of her body. With each piece of fabric that fell away, Sophia felt more exposed, but also more connected to him.
When she was fully undressed, Ethan reached for one of the silk scarves. "Close your eyes," he whispered, and Sophia obeyed, her breath coming in shallow gasps. He carefully tied the scarf around her eyes, the soft fabric blocking out the light, leaving her in a world of sensation.Ethan took his time, using the remaining scarves to gently bind her wrists, the silk cool against her skin. "Do you trust me?" he asked, his voice low and soothing.
"Yes," Sophia breathed, her voice trembling with a mix of nerves and anticipation.
"Good," Ethan replied, leaning down to kiss her neck. "I'm going to make you feel things you've never felt before, Sophia."
He reached for the box on the table and opened it, revealing a set of sleek, elegant toys. Sophia couldn't see what he was doing, but she could feel the shift in the air, the way Ethan's movements became more deliberate, more focused.
Ethan took one of the toys, its surface smooth and cool to the touch, and began to explore her body with it. Sophia gasped at the sensation, her body responding to the unfamiliar but thrilling experience. Ethan watched her closely, paying attention to every sound, every movement she made, adjusting his touch to ensure she felt nothing but pleasure.
As the evening wore on, Ethan guided Sophia through a series of new experiences, each one more intense than the last. He took his time, savouring every moment, every reaction she gave him. For Sophia, it was an evening of discovery, of learning her own body in a way she never had before.
When it was over, Sophia lay in Ethan's arms, her body spent, her mind reeling from the intensity of what she had just experienced. Ethan gently removed the blindfold and untied her wrists, pressing soft kisses to her skin as he did so.
"Are you okay?" he asked, his voice full of concern.
Sophia nodded, her eyes still closed as she tried to catch her breath. "That was... incredible," she whispered. "I didn't know it could be like that."
Ethan smiled, pulling her closer. "I'm glad you enjoyed it," he murmured. "You deserved to feel special."
They lay together in the quiet of the living room, the soft light still casting a warm glow around them. As Sophia drifted off to sleep, Ethan held her close, his mind already planning the next two weeks. He was determined to make the most of this time, to give Sophia the experiences she had never had, while also savoring the thrill of living on the edge.
