shared together. I don't care what you say, but if you were 100% fulfilled in your
marriage I never would have seen that raw, intense
sexuality that I saw a few times -- watching your mouth on my breast or looking in
your eyes while you explored the depth of my sex. Instead, it would have been a routine
encounter void of anything but a sexual release. I do not want you to breach your moral
