Hard Needs

It was like clockwork. After nearly three weeks, Andromeda's skin began to feel itchy. She scratched, but she knew she wasn't really itchy. It was just the unfulfilled need that began to boil and take over. Very soon, it would be all that she could think about if she didn't get her needs met.

"Andi, are you okay?" Ted asked once he noticed her distraction.

Andromeda plastered on her best smile. "Of course." She wound her arm around his neck and pressed her lips against his.

Ted returned the kiss and they fell back onto the bed. Ted's touch was soft and soothing as they made love, and it took everything Andromeda had to not scream in frustration. Sometimes, a girl didn't want it to be soft and loving. She wanted fast and furious.

Ted quickly fell asleep after he was done, and she tried to ignore the burning sensation between her legs because of an orgasm that never came to fruition. That night, she didn't sleep very much.

It was two days before she could sneak away, and Rabastan was where he always was. At the abandoned, decrepit house his went to when he needed some alone time. She swallowed at the sight of his tall and muscular form spread out on a ratty mud brown couch.

Rabastan didn't look surprised to see her despite having not been contacted beforehand. Then again, they've been doing this for so long, he probably knew when to expect her.

"Bored one again in your beloved marital bed?" he snarked.

"Shut up, Rabastan. I don't come to you for the tantalizing conversation."

Rabastan narrowed his eyes. "You do realize I'm more than your personal boy toy, right? I have needs."

Andromeda arched an eyebrow. "And with the way he groaned last time and how much you shuddered afterward, I say your needs get met."

Rabastan's eyes darkened. His walk over to her was like a snake's slither. And once they were toe-to-toe, he gripped her hair in a tight fist and yanked her head back, exposing her neck. "Your mouth is going to get you in trouble."

She moaned and pressed her thighs close together, already feeling the beginning of wetness.

"Give it to me," Andromeda whispered, her hands clutching his shirt as she felt his muscles ripple along his chest.

He gently kissed her neck before he clamped down on it, sucking and biting to leave a mark.

Thank Merlin for magic; otherwise, she'd never be able to explain the mark to her husband.

He ripped off her dress, exposing her to his greedy eyes and palmed her right breast as he continued to suck on her neck.

Her legs wobbled and he lifted her. She wrapped her legs around his waist and ground against his toned stomach. Rabastan practically threw her on the couch and climbed on top of her, pinching and touching and kissing until she was a wanton mess, her nerve endings on fire.

Rabastan shed his own clothes without any care, and their coupling was fast and rough. There was nothing soft and sweet about it, and it was just what Andromeda needed it. When she came, she screamed out her lover's name, her vision going black because of the all-consuming pleasure.

Andromeda laid panting as she slowly regained her strength. Rabastan caught his breath next to her, his eyes closed.

Andromeda knew she shouldn't cheat on her hushand; she loved Ted with her whole heart, but sometimes, a girl needed something more, and Rabastan gave it to her.

It wasn't like she went to Rabastan every night. It was only when the need for something hard arose within her. And what Ted didn't know wouldn't hurt him.
