The Wrong Woman

The curtains blocked out the light well. The room went dark when Nathan closed them. Mila seemed to be uncomfortable as he got into the bed. She moved away and turned her back on him. It made Nathan sad to see her like that. His eyes wandered silently over her long, flowing hair. He didn't think about crossing any boundaries even though he wanted her.

Nathan knew they shouldn't sleep together too soon because Mila had just given birth. He always respected how she felt and didn't want to force her to sleep with him. Yet, he had longed for that intense pleasure ever since they had made love, and now it was harder for him to resist the urge. He found himself feeling restless and tortured. Nathan leaned closer to Mila with his eyes closed, finding solace in the subtle scent of her hair shampoo.

Mila lay still. Only then did she realize Nathan had refrained from touching her while awake. He only kissed her and held her discreetly while she slept.

Lost in thought, Mila eventually drifted off to sleep. When she woke up, it was almost noon and Nathan was nowhere to be seen. She got out of bed, freshened up, and dressed before leaving the room. Everyone in the house was busy with their things and no one was home. Phoebe lounged in the living room, snacking and watching TV dramas.

Mila came downstairs and joined Phoebe in the living room where she saw an intimate scene on TV-a couple kissing passionately and sinking onto a bed. The sweetness and romance of the scene was overwhelming.

Phoebe was completely engrossed in the drama. She didn't even notice Mila approaching. Her eyes were shining with excitement and she had a big grin.

"You can try it with Cole if you're jealous," Mila suggested.

Phoebe was startled and turned around to see that Mila was close by. When she understood what Mila suggested, she exclaimed, "Mila, what are you talking about? I'm not his girlfriend."
