AUTHOR'S NOTE: This is the conclusion to my previous stories, What Katie Wants and What Katie Wants Again. It is highly recommended that you read that first for this to make sense. As with those, this is a cheating story involving a married woman.

---------------
Katie knew she had to finish things.
Not that she knew what 'finishing' meant. Did it mean telling Daniel, her husband's black groomsman, their fling was over? Or indulging herself in him for the next two days before he left?
The past few days had been spent torn between having brilliant sex with Daniel and the mixed emotions that came with betraying the man she loved.
The questions kept turning in Katie's mind until her husband Shaun shifted beside her. They were both still in bed after Katie had awoken in his warm embrace. It grounded her and allowed her to think things through in a calm manner.
Shaun leant over and kissed her cheek. The couple exchanged good mornings before Katie stretched and got out of bed. She didn't bother getting dressed while padding over to the coffee machine, setting it to brew.
Despite wanting to focus on Shaun that day, even making coffee reminded Katie of Daniel. Getting a coffee was what led to their first kiss. Though she'd thought of him in bed, that had been in a logical manner. Now she was reminded of how good a kisser he was.
The machine beeping broke her from her thoughts, and she sorted the coffee into two cups before returning to Shaun.
While drinking, Katie ordered room service and put on a robe to collect it once it arrived. She thanked the server, a young blonde woman of about twenty, and took the food from her, bringing it over to the bed. The newlyweds chatted while they ate before Shaun said something that gave her pause.
"I'm so glad you're getting on with Daniel."
"Yeah?"
"Of course. You never hung out in college, so I'm happy you are now."
It was true that Daniel and Katie had never interacted before. He was two years above her and hung around in different circles. But after what she'd done with Daniel, she wondered if they'd have 'hung out' in the same way they had that past week. She'd joked by the pool that she was better than she had been in college, but it was only then she thought about how different things could've been.
"I don't know if I could've handled him in college, but I'm more than able to now."
The comment was vague enough for Shaun to think she was talking about his personality, but also made Katie realise she was glad things weren't different. Getting with Shaun had been the best decision she'd ever made, and she was more emotionally mature than in college. More equipped to deal with her present situation.
After their meals were done, Shaun turned to her. "I booked us in for lunch at one of the hotel's restaurants, by the way. The one you really wanted to try," he said.
"Aw, thanks, honey." Katie leant over and kissed his cheek, appreciating the gesture.
"I still want to make up for the mess I caused. Seemed like the least I could do."
"I said I was over it, but I won't turn down a nice lunch with you." She again kissed his cheek, receiving a proper one in return. Shaun then slid out of the bed and went to the bathroom.
Once he'd disappeared from view, Katie's phone pinged twice. Once she saw the messages, she was happy Shaun wasn't in the room anymore.
Both were from Daniel, which wasn't a surprise. The first was a seemingly innocent 'good morning', but the second left no debate over his real intentions. It was a picture of Daniel, wet, wearing only a towel. He was clean shaven again and his chest shined with droplets. Katie bit her lip. How she'd love to kiss them away. The towel had also been positioned so that it only just covered his privates, the 'arrow' lines pointing to his groin on full display.
Katie then understood what Daniel had meant by the tease being as good as seeing it all. Thoughts of what lay below the cloth and what it could do made her breath quicken.
A fog of lust threatened to descend over her. Taking a deep breath, she tried to get a hold of herself. The focus of the day was meant to be Shaun and she was already failing at that. It was the first opportunity they'd had to spend a day alone together on the honeymoon. Katie was going to make the most of it.
Of course, Daniel had had other ideas.
The best thing to do was to ignore it, which Katie managed to do for an entire minute before giving in. She just couldn't help herself where Daniel was concerned. Her response was to send a message, fighting off the idea to send a picture back.
>I'm surprised the water hasn't evaporated from how hot you are.
The message held a joking edge, even though she'd meant it. He was gorgeous and they both knew it. But Katie tried not to think of him and told herself the message was enough to fend off further thoughts of Daniel.
Shaun returned to the suite, providing a good distraction. He talked to Katie about their plans for the day despite her phone pinging a minute into the conversation. Katie ignored it, agreeing to go for a steady walk with Shaun before heading to the pool after lunch. They'd need to be careful, but Katie was excited. Time with Shaun under the sun was what she needed. That and nothing else.
After she got dressed in a pair of jeans and a light t-shirt, Katie checked what the message from Daniel had been.
>I look even better in person, though.
Katie rolled her eyes. She didn't doubt he was correct, she just thought Daniel had better moves than that. Typing out a message, she told him just that and reminded him again that she wanted to focus on Shaun. He then sent a final message that Katie didn't feel the need to reply to.
>Get ready for my real moves, then.
Katie knew she'd made an error in judgment by setting Daniel what he'd perceived as a challenge. She would let him think up his next move while she went out with Shaun.
They spent the morning strolling the nearby area before stopping at a small café to rest Shaun's leg. While drinking sweet tea, Katie looked over at him with a soft smile on her face. He really was her dream man. Handsome, kind, loving. Not the best lover but he more than made up for it in other areas. Even then, there were signs he was improving in that department.
Yet she was still swept up in a honeymoon fling and, guilt about not giving Shaun the attention he deserved aside, she wasn't sure she regretted it. The realisation from the night before had helped calm her, as well as remembering Ashlyn's suggestion of separating love and sex. Plus, there were only two days before Daniel would be far away from her, and she could focus on Shaun again.
Like she should've been doing all along.
There were an increasing number of 'should'ves', she knew, but again she didn't really regret that. It was all quite exhilarating. The inherent wrongness of sneaking around and getting pounded was part of the draw to Daniel. In times gone by, the fact they were an interracial pairing would've added to that. In a way it still did, though it was the way their complexions contrasted with each other that got her going rather than any stereotype.
Continuing to think about her situation, she and Shaun finished up and resumed their walk, soon heading back to the hotel. Thankful that she'd silenced her phone before leaving their room earlier, Katie managed to not be tempted by Daniel himself. It allowed her to think more clearly. She was sure ignoring him would drive his advances even more, though.
Knowing that someone like Daniel, who'd been with a lot of women, was doing everything he could to get back into bed with her made her overjoyed.
Upon checking her messages when arriving back at the suite, there were three from Daniel. Each was sent about an hour apart. She read the last one first, which was a comment on her not replying and how she was such a tease. It made her laugh and she scrolled up for the other two, a giddy nervousness building over what he'd said.
The first was a straight up question on if she'd thought more about meeting up later. The second was another picture, showing Daniel with a pout. He wore a light shirt unbuttoned to reveal part of his muscled torso. Smiling, Katie composed two messages of her own.
>I said I was busy with Shaun today.
>You look super-hot, though. And I'm always eager to tease. And please.
She sent it off and hoped it was clear she hadn't said no, because that would've made Daniel stop and she didn't want him to. Still undecided on if she would give in, Katie held out hope she could remain strong. But the thrill of the chase was making her horny.
After putting her bikini on and covering it in a light button-up and jean shorts, Katie focused on Shaun once more. He'd been taking a rest after putting his own swimming gear on, preparing for lunch and then the pool. Soon they were off.
Lunch was a quiet affair. They were content to enjoy their meals and the sounds of the pool in the distance. Katie did bring up the reservation, though.
"Hun, when did you even get the booking for this place?" He'd been bed bound for much of the last week, so his openings were few.
Taking a bite of food, Shaun smiled. "Yesterday, when I got back from my appointment. You were still out so it seemed the perfect time."
Katie nodded before a slight chill went through her. Doing quick maths in her head, the time he'd have returned matched when she'd been at the pool with Daniel. "Did you see me?" She asked, trying to use a teasing tone.
"Unfortunately, no, otherwise I'd have joined you. I'm sure Daniel was great company, though."
