"Hey, sweetheart."

I greeted Rora wrapping my arms around her squeezing tightly. "I haven't seen you in ages."

I called Rora before left my apartment. She showed up to the gym over an hour later.

"Wow."

Rora blurted out raking her eyes over every part of me.

"You're glowing. Your hair is shinier. Your smile is bigger. If you were anyone else I would assume you were still fucking Ruka."

She continued to mock. "Do you even know where you are, Duchess?

I brushed my sweat drenched hair out of my face avoiding her gaze. Her gaze that saw deep into my soul. I wasn't looking at her but I knew her dramatic acts well enough to know she was staring and judging.

"It's not what you think." I lied.

"So, she's not tattooing her name on your ass?"

"Why do you have to say it like that?"

"Oh, sweetheart. What better way to say it?"

She said as dramatic as she could muster making me want to disappear in my own skin.

"Treadmill?" I asked her

"Bikes?" She pleaded.

I nodded hoping it would soften him up a bit.

Rora climbed on the bike on the end.

I plopped on the one next to her without saying anything despite the fact that she hasn't taken her eyes off of me.

"I want you to openly admit that you're still sleeping with her."

She said with her gaze razor sharp and focused.

"I'm still sleeping with her." I admitted. "After going back and forth, and then back again. I'm still sleeping with her so crucify me. Please, I deserve it."

"That's the first step to recovery." Rora chuckled.

"She's not a drug. She just... " I trailed off not knowing how to finish.

"... knows how to use her dick."

Rora added making me look around the room to see if anyone heard.

"It's hard to stay away from her when
I have so much free time on my hands. She's so lordly. If I don't come see her, she feels like she's more than obligated to come by my place and get me."

"That sounds so hot." Rora remarked biting her lip. "You don't know how fortunate you are. I'd kill for someone who wants to dominate me."

I laughed without humor. If only she knew how deep in this I was.

"Being good is hard. Damn near impossible."

"Tell me that what I'm doing is wrong, that I'm hurting my husband. Tell me Ruka is going to crush me and I have no business anywhere near her. Tell me I'm making the stupidest mistake of my life. Please, Rora. I'm begging."

"I'm not going to beat you up for
this when you've been doing that to yourself your whole damn life. You did right by your father. You married the good guy and now it's backfiring because the good guy isn't the kind of person you're attracted to. Honestly,
I saw this coming from a mile away. Actually, I saw you divorced first but your timing has always been a little off. Nonetheless, I'll love you no matter what, Riri."

I smiled at the endearment.

"Don't ever ask me to judge you. I can't especially since you never judge me."
