"That night was hot, isn't it?" He asked, calmy resting his head on his hands.
"Wanna do it again?" He asked excitedly,
"Bring it on." He smirked.
"You like it rough huh?" He said while panting, pulling my hair aggressively and moving so damn fast, we eventually finished.
"I lov-" I cut him off, with this expression on my face I cannot hide.
"Don't tell me you love me? I'm a married woman." I said in a warning tone, this thing between us has been going for a year. Yes, I cheated on my husband. "Her wife cheated on him, she cheated on her husband, she's a slut, a whore- any bitch you could think of." That's what they'll say if a woman gets nice to a guy, or just maybe because she intended to do it in the first place, maybe not? Accidentally? Coincidentally? Purposely? You'll never know a person's motive unless you ask them, though, some lie and some, tell the truth.
"Did you, Mrs. Thatcher, slept with Mr. Vernon on the night of December 25th, at his apartment? Correct?" or more likely, why did I cheat on my husband?
"Objection your honour, it's a leading question to the defendant. Argumentative."
"Sustained."
