donât have to take it.â
She waited.
âLike, if you ever get to that point where you want something better, consider me.â
Eddison grabbed her hand. He squeezed it.
âEvery marriage doesnât work out. Not to say that yours wonât, but if youâve given it all you got, and you still arenât satisfied, weigh your options.â
âAre you telling me youâre a good option?â
âIâm telling you that Iâm here for you. Iâm not trying to break up your relationship, but I wonât sit back and watch your spirit sink to nothing, either. You have way too much going for you.â
Kiara told Eddison about the most recent events. About how she tried to get Rashad to open up to her but it backfired; and how she tried to get his attention with the blue balls joke and how her actions hadnât necessarily made things better between them since then.
âNo woman can permanently change a manâs ways. Basically, most men will do what they feel they want to do.â
âI now realize that.â
âKiara, Iâm just going to put it out there. Keep me in mind.â He squeezed her hand then let go. âThink of me when youâre feeling down.â
Kiara could only smile and acknowledge the happiness he wanted to offer to her. âIf I were to leave him, youâd be my option, Eddison. As crazy as it sounds, Iâve already thought about it.â
âYou have?â He looked pleasantly surprised.
âSee, thatâs what I like about you. You do not take anything for granted.â
Eddison lifted her chin and gently pulled her face near his mouth. When their lips meshed together, the warmth of his touch made Kiara instantly feel like she was being swallowed up by a warm, soothing blanket. He gently and lovingly pressed his lips against hers. Kiara didnât think about it. She automatically opened her mouth and let Eddison in. He extended his tongue and kept reaching till his touched hers. She widened her mouth and let even more of him in. Kiara wanted Eddisonâs kiss. Their tongues bathed each otherâs in urgent fashion. She felt like his tongue was making tender love to her entire body. Sheâd never been kissed that way before. The more she kissed him, the more her vagina got wet. And hot. And she felt she needed to stop. To slow things down. But she couldnât. Eddison felt too good and he smelled even better. She loved his scent and it turned her on so much that she let go of all logic.
Kiara noticed the second her hand wrapped itself around Eddisonâs neck as if it were a snake. She shut out warning thoughts and pulled him closer to her. She longed to feel him, to be as close to him as humanly possible. Little by little, she noticed her nipples grow rock hard. She wondered how it would feel if his hands rubbed her breasts. She couldnât believe she was sitting in a manâs car in broad daylight with her tongue deep inside his mouth as if she didnât have a husband back home. That man may have been at home but what was he doing when he wasnât at home? Thatâs what had been worrying Kiara lately. Her gut vexed her daily. She didnât know if she was losing this fight. All she knew was her marriage was in trouble.
When they finally let each other go, Kiara had tears in her eyes.
âDonât cry. Iâd never want to hurt you, my love.â
âThen what do you want?â
âIâd like an honest chance. If fate allows it, I want to be your man.â
Kiara didnât say a word. She just opened his car door and let herself out. She drove back to work wondering how on earth she got into this position. And how on earth would she get herself out of it.

âH i, Mrs. Eason.â
Kiara had been deeply immersed in her work. She looked up from her desk. Nicole Greene, the new hire for the media coordinator position, stood in the doorway clutching her tote
