Only For Tonight

I took the babysitting job because I needed the money.
No strings. No questions. Just take care of their little girl and go home.

The mansion was huge. The family was picture-perfect.
But it didn't take long to realize that looks can lie.

The wife barely looked at me - unless it was to criticize.
The husband barely spoke -

but his silence said more than words ever could.

Their marriage was tense.
Their home, cold.
Their daughter, the only warmth between them.
I was just the help.
Someone meant to stay invisible.

But he started seeing me.
And once you've been seen...

It's hard to pretend nothing ever happened.
I didn't plan to fall for the man of the house.

But some lines were already cracked before I ever crossed them.
And now, I'm in too deep.

With a secret that could burn everything to the ground.

"Tell me to stop," he whispered, his hand already under my shirt.
I didn't say a word.
