Story: Earn Me
Keiran's hand tightened around the phone. "I learn from my mistakes."
"We'll see."
Viktor hung up, and Keiran handed the phone back to the woman.
"Any instructions from the boss?" she asked.
"None—-"
Fuck!
The woman had caught him off guard as she managed to land a kiss on his mouth.
"You know how this works," the woman said with a shrug. "No one can know who she is...or who sent me."
Damn her. Damn Viktor. And damn this world they were all born to.
Keiran took a shower and brushed his teeth thrice before he felt marginally better about slipping back into bed and pulling his wife into his arms.
"Where have you been?" she whispered.
"I thought I heard a noise in the living room. Nothing to worry about." He kissed the top of her head. "Go back to sleep."
He closed his eyes as well as he said this, and it was why he didn't see the way his wife's face turn ashen...because she had seen him through the bedroom window earlier.
Talking to a woman across his house.
And that woman kissing her husband like she had a right to.
She had seen him do all of these things, and that was why she no longer knew what to think...at the way he so had just lied to her so, so easily.
