Undeniable Attraction

"Come in." Theresa says, opening her bedroom door for Ethan to enter.

Walking into the bedroom, Ethan closes his eyes for a brief moment, as he inhales the sweet scent of Theresa's perfume. Please, let this be the right choice, he says to himself. Turning around, he stares at Theresa.

"I…I've been thinking." Ethan begins by saying.

"Have you come to a decision?"

"Yes, I believe I have."

"Alright, I'm listening."

Sighing, Ethan closes the bedroom door so no one will hear what he has to say. Looking back at Theresa's stare, Ethan sighs again, walking toward her. "You make me feel things I thought I'd never feel with a woman. You make me feel alive, and you make me feel your love in your touch, in your smile, and in your heart."

Caressing her cheek, Ethan continues. "What you asked me to do in the kitchen earlier is something that I've been thinking about all night. Whenever I close my eyes, I see you. I see your eyes, your face, your lips. They beckon me to a place that I feel at peace."

"What are you saying, Ethan?" Theresa asks, looking into Ethan's eyes.

"I'm..I'm saying…god, this is so hard…" Taking Theresa's face into his hands, Ethan touches his forehead to hers. "I want you, Theresa…I want you more than my next breath…"

"Does this mean?" Theresa asks in a whispered tone.

"It means that I want to have an affair with you, and damn the consequences. I can't control my feelings anymore. I want you so much, it's killing me. I feel awful though that I'm resorting to how Julian was when he married my mother. I vowed I would never do this, and yet, here I am with you."

"Look, Ethan, I've given it some thought, and I was crazy to suggest that you have an affair with me. I know the type of man you are, it's one of the reasons I fell in love with you. You're moral, you're honest, and you're trusting. I couldn't possibly ask you to go through with this."

"But, Theresa, I WANT to. I know what's at stake, but I don't care right now. All that matters to me is to be with you. Do you remember that night at the club when I said I would have given anything to have one more night with you?"

Nodding slowly, Theresa looks at Ethan, falling more in love with him despite the circumstances.

"This is our chance, Theresa. For however long it can last, I want you. I've always wanted you. Hell, I'll admit it, I love you with such a fierceness I can't see straight sometimes. Please, Theresa, just give us some more memories to hold deep in our hearts."

Moving into his arms, Theresa sighs and nods. "Alright, Ethan. Alright. I'll have an affair with you." God, please let this be the right thing. She thinks to herself.
