The Affair

Chapter 9

Ryan's POV

"That was amazing" she sighs as she rolls over to lay her head on my chest, I smile, quite proud of myself to be honest

"I'm glad you liked it" I reply, I feel like that sounds weird, I think I just became her mistress or whatever you call the guy version so I don't think that's the biggest thing going on right now

"Well I did" she tells he and I can feel her smile against my chest

I stay silent for a moment, trying to figure out how to ask this, I guess I just have to say it

"Chloe, was this just a one time thing for you?" I ask cautiously

"If you're asking me if I've just used you for revenge sex then no, I did not" she tells me as she sits up with the sheets around her, clearly unimpressed by my question

"You're married" I remark but she doesn't seem to care, God Thomas really screwed up didn't he, how could he let this beautiful and amazing girl go under appreciated?

"I'm in love with you" she whispers as she makes eye contact with me

Well that left me rather taken aback

Chloe's POV

Okay so that was a super crazy thing to say but I said it and I'm not taking it back now

"I'm in love with you too" he replies and I smile one of the biggest smiles I've had since my wedding

"It's crazy isn't it?" I ask him and he nods

"So crazy" he replies

"I just don't care" I tell him and he nods

I look at the clock and know that Archie will wake up for his nap any minute now so I have to get dressed

"Archie's gonna wake up soon" I tell him apologetically as I get up and put my clothes back on

"Can I help?" He asks nicely, god he's so amazing

"If you like" I reply, in my head however I nearly screamed 'HELL YES!' But apparently I do still have some self restraint

He quickly gets dressed and follows me into Archie's room where we find him just waking up

"Hey baby, how's my little boy this afternoon?" I ask gently as he smiles and begins to reach out for me

I take him out of his crib and sit down with him, Ryan sits with us and it's so nice

The more Ryan does the more I can't help thinking about how I know Thomas would never

I do love my husband, but I can't deny that Ryan makes me feel things Thomas just doesn't

Ryan's POV

I know this is wrong, god it's so wrong, but I can't help it, she's so perfect and she deserves so much better than him

I have her in my head every single second and have since the moment I met her, how is that even possible?

I watch her play with her son and the toys she's gotten out for him

She's so adorable with him, just amazing, she's a great mother, you can tell just from the love in her eyes

I feel like it was in that moment I could sense that that would be our downfall
