"Eat my pussy, please."
He chuckled heftily in her ear and kissed it gently. Kat loosened her hold on him when he started shifting. He pulled the sheets over his shoulder, connected with Kat's eyes and pulled the material over his head too. Kat watched his silhouette under the sheets and she could feel her ankles being pulled apart. She rested on her back, waiting patiently for him to start.
Her heart was racing. Her mind was threatening her with thoughts of Alejandro and her kids but she wouldn't let them ruin this. This was something she wanted—needed from Franco. She deserved it. Kat just had to keep reminding herself of that. Even if it would make entirely no sense to her the next morning.
She couldn't remember the last time Alejandro had touched her, let alone eaten her out. Her husband had essentially stolen her ability to pleasure herself, too. It was hard to get in the right mood when Alejandro got into bed after a day of not speaking to her, or she knew he would never come to bed at all.
Franco took his time, making sure to rub and kiss her thighs for a few seconds. Kat sat still, simply waiting. After the 5
th
second, Kat leaned up on her elbows. She lifted the sheet to see Franco's face buried into her thigh. He was motionless, his fingers left dents in her flesh.
"What's wrong?"
"I don't want you to be uncertain." He mumbled from the barrier of her body. He lifted his eyes and looked her in the face. "I don't want you to regret anything we do." Kat huffed out a breath as she collapsed back on the pillow behind her. He kept kissing and caressing her skin. "I can't ruin my chances. You know it's not about the sex for me."
This was so much more stress than it was worth.

Kat said goodbye to Franco and came back to her room. She was too exhausted to fret and worry about her mistakes as she typically did and for that, she was glad. Her eyes were transfixed on the plush bed and she crashed against it without a second thought.
Kat jolted awake at the sound of her phone ringing. She quickly reached around for it, thinking it could have been about the kids. She answered it without even looking at who it was.
"Kat!" Marlennys said. Kat could hear she was kind of annoyed with her. Kat was supposed to call her back yesterday but had been too preoccupied to get around to it.
"Hey Marlennys," Kat relaxed a little in bed. The sun was rising and the room was lightly illuminated. She brought the covers up over her face to muffle her sounds; this was around the time that Alejandro woke up.
"What's going on? How's everything going?" Her annoyance with Kat seemed to dissipate. Kat took a deep breath and tried to decide how she'd explain this to her best friend—or if she'd explain it at all. "Kat... What is it?" She missed the chance to not tell her, so she had no choice.
"I messed up." Kat whispered.
"What? How?" She was growing frantic. Kat was silent on the other end for a few more seconds. "You're scaring me."
"I cheated on Alejandro." They were silent for a few seconds. Kat could feel her heart thumping in her collar bones but soon enough, the feeling dwindled. Being ashamed of her mistakes wasn't something she had the right to do anymore. She had continuously made her own mess. Even when she knew the consequences, she still chose Franco.
"Kat..." Marlennys was speechless. She opened her mouth the start a sentence and she'd shut her mouth again. Her head was spinning. "I do not want to make you feel guilty. I know you and I know this is already a lot for you. You don't need me adding to it. So, you tell me what you want me to know and what you want me to say."
"Marlennys..." She started and realized she had no idea what she wanted her best friend to say. Kat could barely figure out what she wanted to tell herself. "I was in such a euphoric trance when I met Alejandro." Kat was staring blankly out the large window. Her eyes bypassed the scenery, the sunrise and clear waters. She was piercing beyond all sense of reality to try and relive the happiest moments of her life. "I had never been in love before. I had no idea what it felt like to truly care for someone. I loved how he loved his kids. I loved how he took care of his father. I loved his big heart. There was absolutely nothing I would change about him. And he promised me—"
Kat took a break to allow her throat to open again.
"He promised me he wouldn't let us fall apart." A tear had fell. "And to see him not trying to save us—not trying to keep his wife and his family in one piece, kills me. Every day is harder than the one before. I find it impossible to keep my head on straight knowing that my time with the Alejandro I knew and loved might be over forever. I have to work, I have to take care of our kids and I have to try and get this man to love me again too? And he isn't even meeting me halfway." Kat bit her lip. Marlennys sat quietly on the other end, waiting for her to continue. Kat appreciated the listening ear. She needed it.
"But I know I can't live without him. I am not making any excuses, but I found a well of strength that I needed." A pit stop along a marathon of fighting for her marriage. Franco would never be anything more than that pit stop. "I just needed an ounce of reassurance. I needed to feel something to have the courage to continue feeling nothing until Alejandro is ready."
Marlennys' breathing could be heard on the other end. Kat waited patiently for her to say something.
"I understand how you feel, sweetheart. I can only imagine how much it hurts to feel forgotten by the man you love. I don't for a second doubt that you are willing to fight tooth and nail for your marriage." Kat swallowed roughly. She was surprised.
Marlennys was such a wholesome woman. Kat was once so flattered to know that Marlennys thought the same way about her. However now, she couldn't help but feel branded by her infidelity. Her title had been tarnished. She was not on the same caliber as her best friend anymore.
Kat could hear shuffling on the other end of the phone. The 7 month pregnant woman was panting heavily through the receiver and Kat knew she was moving swiftly.
"Kat," She whispered. Kat was immediately intrigued. "I will not judge you if you decide not to tell."
Kat let out a sigh of relief she didn't know she was holding. A burden had been lifted off her shoulders. Her best friend was empathetic enough not to judge her.
"Thank you. Would you tell Jose?" Kat was curious. Marlennys sighed deeply as she thought over her options.
"Honestly, I would want to. But the consequences would haunt me so much more than keeping the secret, I don't think I ever could. You are spiritually broken, Kat. I know that under natural circumstances—with the love of your husband and family, this would have * never * even crossed your mind. There would be no man in the world who could get you to do this. That doesn't mean I approve—Don't see him again! But I understand."
"You don't know how much it means to me to hear you say that. A piece of me thinks Alejandro would understand too. But I can't risk him. I can't lose him."
"And you won't. We are putting this behind us forever." She sounded so authoritative; she almost had Kat convinced that the worst was over. It would only get better from here. "Kat!" Marlennys yelled out a bark.
