She Got A Better Man

Elvira had no time to think about the consequences of not arriving in time before. Now, the mere thought left her struggling for breath. 'If I hadn't arrived in time, that would've meant... he would've turned to another woman?' she thought. This possibility was something she found utterly intolerable.

To her, loyalty in a relationship wasn't just important, it was everything. Her father's betrayal had shattered her and Marsh's childhood, leaving them starved of parental love. That pain was a shadow that followed her through life. And now, realizing she had fallen for Zach despite their short time together, she found herself wanting him all to herself.

This intense desire surprised even her.

Upon returning home, she intended to take a bath first. Exhausted and sore from the previous day, she hadn't yet bathed. After she mentioned it to Zach, he immediately went to prepare the bath for her.

As she wanted to grab her bathrobe, Zach insisted she stay put, and fetched it for her.

Sitting there, watching him bustle about for her, her smile grew uncontrollably. 'How wonderful it feels like to be taken care of!' she thought.

With the bath ready, she was about to step in when she turned, embraced Zach, and kissed him, who was standing still. She said, "Zach, please step out, I'll call you when I'm done."

"Elvira, let me help you. We're married, after all, we've been intimate. Don't send me away," Zach pleaded, kissing her hand, not ready to let go.

"How about we wait until we're a bit closer? Later, you can help me with some ointment," she suggested, thinking about a spot on her back she couldn't reach.

Zach, looking at her in silence, agreed after a soft kiss. He knew she would be shy. "I'll make you something to eat," he said.

Submerging herself in the warm bath, Elvira couldn't help but sigh in contentment.
