Wrong marriage [+18]

Chapter 1

"Come on, babe, we'll be late" I heard Ethan calling from the living room, while I was just done applying my lipstick. I looked for the last time in the mirror, just to make sure my outfit was perfect for the dinner. The white pants are wide-leg, providing a clean and polished base. Pairing them with a black crop top adds a touch of edginess and contrast to the ensemble. To complement the white pants, a white coat in a similar shade ties my outfit together seamlessly. 

I chose some simple black stilettos to complete the look. I took my handbag and left my room to the living space where Ethan was waiting for me. He was so handsome. His curly brown hair was pulled back and he was dressed in some black tailored pants, a white t-shirt, and a black coat with just a couple of silver accents. His hazel eyes got bigger when he saw me and he approached me until our faces were a few inches apart.

"You look extremely hot tonight, it makes me have second thoughts about going to this dinner" he said in a low voice, looking me deep in the eyes. The look in his eyes alone was enough to make me question this idea all over again.

"Let's go, horny boy, as you said earlier, we're going to be late" I said after a few moments as I gave him a playful hit on the arm, making him laugh at my comment.

"Alright, we can just leave right now, ignoring the sexual tension between us" he said pulling me back into his arms. His lips slowly found my neck, leaving traces of tender kisses while his hand was lightly caressing my arm.  "Unless..." he then continued snapping me back to reality and making me laugh.

We left my apartment and went straight to his car. He twisted the car keys and it began to move while I was making myself comfortable.

"So, are you excited for tonight?" Ethan's question pierced through the quiet atmosphere inside the car. With a smile, I looked at him curiously, wondering why I should feel excited, our visits there are routine. Still, his innocence is sweet, it's one of the many things I adore about him.

"Uhm, I guess so?" it came out more like a question. "I mean, of course, I am happy. But I am not specifically excited because we go there, I am more excited about spending time with you, that's the thing I love the most, more than any place we could ever go to" I explained softly while holding his hand, gently caressing his skin with my thumb.

"I love that too, baby, I just want to enjoy this night more than before, I had a hectic week at work, and all I want is to savor every second of you tonight" he explained softly as he lifted my hand, delicately brushing his lips against the back of it. Every loving gesture he makes induces a feeling of lightness in my chest, like my heart is fluttering.

The rest of the drive was silent and when we arrived at the restaurant Ethan opened the door for me, before locking the car. He took a second to fix his coat before he took my hand into his, smiling softly. I never thought I would ever deserve someone as kind as him, the fact that he was the most handsome man I've ever seen was just a bonus.
