An Affair

"Harry, come back to bed." Kendall's voice echoed through his ears, onesthat were tuned to listen throughout the house just in case. She pulled at his pants as he stood at the foot of the bed, looking down at her as his long hair cascaded in a mess around his head. She was petite and weak, but she could easily make him do anything she wanted. She was his weakness.

"I can't, you know I can't." Harry responded softly, running his hand through his hair as he attempted to be strong towards her and insistent with his reply. However, she gave him those brutally sad eyes.

"Please, Harry. A few more minutes?" she pleaded, her words almost falling out in a whine. It wasn't a guilt-inducing whine, it was a true one. He knew that. He knew their time together was so bitter sweet, that he had to soak in his time he was able to touch her just so he could pretend she was in his arms when they both resided in their respective beds after nightfall.

"Ken..." Harry tried to resist, he really did. He knew things could end very badly if he stayed too long.

"Dylan isn't getting home for atleast another hour. I know we need to be safe, but I really need you. It wasn't enough." her voice was soft, yet it still cracked. She was staring up at him with depressed eyes, eyes that made hisheart ache.

"A few more minutes." Kendall released a relieved sigh, backing up and allowing him to crawl beside her. He could hardly get settled before she engulfed herself in his body to touch as much as his skin as she could and he didn't fail to do the same. Neither of them had bothered to fully dress themselves after the intimate affair that had occurred between them not ten minutes prior.

You see, Kendall was married. Not to Harry, but to another man named Dylan. Harry knew she had plans to leave Dylan, that she never planned to have an affair in the first place, but sometimes things don't happen the way you plan.

Dylan was a harsh man with little control over his emotions. Kendall met him when they were in highschool and she was convinced they were soul mates. He felt the same, which led them to professing their love to each other at the altar soon after they graduated. However, as many relationships do, things changed after their marriage. Dylan became more distant, not wanting to give her much attention, and the attention he did give her, wasn't very nice. He wasn't abuse at the beginning, no, just mean. So it wasn't much of a shock that when Kendall met Harry at work, she found herself drawn to him.

This was different than most affairs, and different from your typical affair. Neither of them intended to pursue each other, but they were very naturally comfortable with each other and quickly became inseparably close. The mere idea of there being something better than the relationship she was in made her want to divorce Dylan as soon as she could. And, before Harry and Kendall even began their romance, Kendall tried to leave Dylan She tried.

It happened simply enough. He got home one day to see her packing her things in their bedroom. She explained she wasn't happy and she knew she could be happier. She wasn't leaving him for someone else, but she had met someone who had opened her eyes to how things could and should be between two people who are supposed to love each other. She wasn't facing him when she said these things, she was slightly afraid to, for good reason, and, when she finally turned to face him, she began face to face with the barrel of a gun. Dylan was a fan of guns and while that had always made her uneasy, she had never feared anything so much in her life than when she saw that gun pointed at her head. She would never forget the psychotic look in his eyes as he did it either.

Kendall had instantly started crying, begging him to just stop it. It wasn't worth it. It wasn't right. Dylan didn't lower the gun until he explained just how things were going to go. She wasn't going anywhere, she was staying at home and in their happy marriage. She would quit her job and stay at home, but, if she was lucky, he would allow her to go to the store. He would take her phone and he would take her keys. Kendall reluctantly agreed to his demands, deciding being stuck with him for the time being was better than being dead.
