"I found him" My heart was racing as Stella answered the phone.
"Found who?" She said.
"Jax, remember I told you I couldn't get him out my damn head, like he was taunting me, haunting me even. You must remember." I urged.
I had told her in confidence months ago how my ex Jax had been plaguing my dreams and fantasies for years. It had gotten to the point where I struggled to fall asleep, and my sexual drive had been through the roof because of it.
Out of curiosity I had tried stalking his social media but came up empty. All his socials were dormant for years. Last I knew he moved to another part of the country and that was that.
I had convinced myself the only reason I was even looking is to check he was still alive and happy. Perhaps married and raising kids like me.
Maybe then I would finally let go.
But nothing. A dead end every time and somewhere deep down I feared maybe he had passed. But I knew better. I could hear his voice in my head almost every night. Calling me. Taunting me.
I had laughed to myself on a few occasions maybe this man had somehow played with the dark arts and put some kind of spell on me. His payback for me walking away from him.
The last time I had seen him I had invited him to be my date at my cousins wedding after breaking up with my now husband. Again, going back and picking fruit from the past. We had dated years back.
He was my first love. He loved me more than I loved him, I could see that. And I ended it with him to go explore the world and chase new dreams. Leaving him heart broken. It killed me. But I had to do it for his sake.
I had completely forgotten about him. Moved on. Had a child. Met a new man and fallen in love. Then when that hadn't worked out I turned back to my first love for console and attention. Who wants to go to a wedding alone anyways.
He agreed, too easily actually. It was a great weekend. But after a wonderful night of catching up and having fun I hadn't expected him to drop the bomb shell and tell me he is still in love with me.
I couldn't do this. Not now. I had just gotten out of a long relationship and my heart was just not there.
He had left the ceremony after I blew him off as kindly as I could and went back to our room. I had expected him to be asleep when I got back later to avoid him, but alas he was up. Simply watching some tv.
I had ignored him for fear of hurting his feelings even more. Simply climbed into bed next to him, turned my back and prayed I would fall asleep somehow, hoping the awkwardness would fade away.
It didn't.
He slowly moved his way over to me and started caressing my back and thighs. I didn't stop him. I didn't want to. No words were spoken. We simply let the night take us. He pulled my panties down and positioned himself on top of me. Entering me. It was glorious. Better than it had ever been before. I had never cum with him when we were together. I was too young and scared. Always in my head. I still enjoyed it though, every time just getting close and my head getting in the way.
But in our years apart I had given birth. Become a strong woman. Learned my body well. This I could do now.
We woke the next morning not saying a word. The drive home quieter still.
We never spoke again.
And now another 10 years later, he more fresh and more vivid in my mind than ever.
So much time has passed. I love my husband. He fulfils every need. But Jax, something burns inside my body for him. I need to find a way to get him out of my mind.
I simply got a friend suggestion and there he was. A profile I had never seen before. That must be why I could not find him.
I couldn't help myself I had to take a peek. It was worse than I had hoped.
One, he had aged like a fine wine, more gorgeous than ever.
Two he was single, no wife, no kids nothing.
And three, he had moved back home.
What the fuck am I supposed to do with this information? Every fibre of my brain is telling me run, forget. But every fibre of my body calls for him. Its frustrating this confusion.
"Ooooh him. Oh my god! How?" Stella urged.
"It was by accident I swear. But he's here, back in town. Single. And Stel, more beautiful than ever. I'm scared. You need to talk me down." I felt so guilty.
"Look, you haven't done anything relax. Besides show me one married woman that doesn't pine for some Greek god some way or the other. Maybe your just bored." She tried to calm me.
"No, I wish. Then I would have some excuse. Brad and I are good. So good. We lack nothing in the bedroom, or otherwise. I don't know what it is, but its some kind of pull and I don't know how to turn it off."
"Chill friend, you guys have been together for 14 years. Its nice to fantasize, sometimes we all need it ok. And remember like you said some days you don't even think about him at all. Its likely just your hormones relax. What you get when you start hitting your prime. Lets just hope Brad can keep up with you now." She laughed loud.
I couldn't help but laugh with her.
Maybe she was right, but I am only 37, I mean isn't prime at 40 or something for a woman, and besides its not a recent thing its more of a last 8 years thing and its only getting worse.
I put my head down after hanging up the phone and tried desperately to get on with my day, but he was there, more fresh than ever with his new profile picture burnt in my brain.
Sleep didn't find me till early morning.
I woke the next morning alone as Brad leaves before me. I laid in bed fantasizing and aching anew.
I pulled out my bullet from bedside drawer. A sweet gift from Brad for when he is out of town and we sext, or my body is so wound up and he is too tired. Best gift ever.
I parted my legs and let the sweet gift do its job. Jax's forefront of my mind. I cam hard and quick.
"I can't go on like this anymore." I whispered to myself.
I need to see him.
Put this to bed once and for all. Or us. "NO STOP IT." I said more harshly to myself this time.
Days, months, years have passed, and this pull was going nowhere, just getting worse.
I believed more now there was something supernatural going on here. I had to put an end to it.
I racked my brain for days. Do I contact him? No then there may be a paper trail that could get me into trouble with Brad.
