Husband With Benefits

While everyone was busy plotting against her, Nora was busy plotting against her husband. As the man left the house at his usual ungodly hour for his exercise, she slowly slid out of the bed, racing out.

Should she go in or not? As she paced outside the door of "The Forbidden Room", she wondered if this would mean crossing a line. Earlier in the relationship, she had never dared to step into his room, not wanting to invade his privacy. With the new development in their relationship, there seemed to be some tacit understanding that they would be spending the night in her room.

But why not his room? As she crossed her hands behind her back and walked around, she grinned as she imagined what his room would be like. Would it be all dark and sparse furnishings, clean lines that she always read about in novels? Or would it be something different?

As she stared at the door, she could not help but imagine. Maybe she should ask him to invite her to his room. That way she would not have to think so much. No wonder all those people thought so much before having a live-in relationship. She was already married to the man and she was overthinking things.

Well, that was enough. She was not going to tarry anymore. She was going to satisfy her curiosity and visit the wolf’s lair while the wolf was away.

Nodding to herself, Nora made her way towards the closed door. However, before she could reach the door, a voice sounded curiously," Why are you lurking like a thief?"

Almost jumping out of her skin, Nora turned around swiftly, coming face to face with Demetri who was staring at her with amusement.

"I...uh.."

"You want some time to think of an excuse for your peculiar behavior?" Demetri asked her while he strolled towards her with leisure. He’d already guessed what she was up to but of course, he needed to tease her.
