Affair
"This is the last time," the woman says.
"Yes," the man agrees, although both know that she will be back anyway.
How many last times had they already had?
They know that it is betrayal and the guilt consumes them afterwards. And yet, it is apparently not enough to make them stop.
They had not planned for it to happen. But it happened.
Her husband's constant absence from her life had left her feeling empty and completely alone. When she finally felt like she was about to break, Hayato had been the one to pick up the pieces. He had been the one to dry her tears, had been the one that held her gently in his embrace, had been the one to stroke her hair and whisper comforting words until the crying stopped. Haru wondered why her husband was not around to do all this.
She had thanked him when she regained her composure, looking him straight in the eyes as she did so. She wanted to convey her sincerity as best as she could for she truly was thankful, is still thankful, for his comforting presence. She had never noticed how shockingly beautiful his emerald eyes were before. In a moment of complete insanity, she had leaned tentatively forwards and kissed him on the lips.
One thing led to another and soon, she found herself in his room, lying on his bed as naked as she had been when she first came into the world. They made love to each other, and Haru was ashamed to recall that the experience was extremely pleasurable. The fierce Storm had been able to satisfy her much more than the gentle Sky ever had. She stayed the night and slunk back to her own room the next morning, for once relieved to find that her husband had not returned.
She told herself that it would not happen again.
But it was only a matter of time before the crushing weight of loneliness sent her back to his bed. She went to him again and again.
She wanted to stop.
She couldn't stop.
