Chapter 6:

Note: This Fiction is rated M. Don't read if you don't like it. Otherwise, enjoy!

Julia was in the living room of her big house. It was late evening, and she was lying on the sofa in a white dressing gown, a book in her hand. Her daughters were sleeping in their bedrooms and her husband had been out. He was attending a medical conference on X-rays. A revolutionary science for medicine that a physicist named Wilhem Röntgen had just perfected. When Ethan told her where he was going, Julia felt an emptiness inside her. She would have loved to attend. She wished she had the right to go to this kind of conference. It was a medical revolution… And she could not take part in it.

She had not asked any questions. She knew Ethan hated it. They had met in medical school, but Ethan had always told his friends and the strangers he met at social events that they had first seen each other in a restaurant. And she never protested. She had no right. Ethan always pretended, even in private, that Julia had never studied medicine. Her own daughters were unaware that she had been educated.

Julia stared at the top of page 54 of her book. She knew that William would understand her… She knew that the young man would never have done such a thing to her. He would have let her live her passion… her job…

As soon as she thought of the detective, her face lit up with a rare smile. William Murdoch…This man was simply unique and exceptional. He had made her head spin. She thought of him every moment of her days and she missed him. She had not felt that for anyone but him. It was almost scary. They had only seen each other for a few hours in an entire lifetime, but there was so much osmosis and passion between them. She could not resist when they had been in the Brackenreids' garden. She had wanted to kiss him so badly. When their lips touched, then their tongues… she felt her heart racing. When his hand brushed her thigh, she felt completely smitten. She longed to see him again. But how could she do it?

At the time, when they had lost their temper and her husband had called from the Brackenreids' living room, she had thought she would die of horror. She had just cheated on her husband. Her husband to whom she had assured that he should not worry for anything in the world. But William was… amazing. Their chemistry was magical.

When she had returned to the Brackenreids' living room, her husband had been even more drunk than when he had slipped away into the householder's office. They had left so quickly that William had not even had time to return from the garden. In the carriage, her husband fell asleep with his head tilted towards the window, Julia had allowed herself to think back to what had happened. She had smiled and allowed herself to fantasize about a world in which she would not be married. A world where she was a doctor and where she could work every day alongside William Murdoch in the Toronto morgue. But that would also mean she never had her lovely daughters and that was something she would not have wanted for anything in the world, she loved them so much.

"Is this smile for me?"

Julia jerked her head up from her book and stared at the living room doorway. Her husband was there, looking at her with starry eyes and his heart sank. As much as she used to fantasize about another life, she knew she was her husband's treasure. He loved her so much that sometimes she felt like she was suffocating. He was jealous and had little self-confidence. But her heart sank again when she realized he was, after all, right.

She watched her husband walk slowly towards her his eyes hungry. And she knew what was going to happen. When her husband had that look, he was not fooling anyone. She knew what he was thinking. She just watched him approach her and he then leaned over her. He snatched her book from her hands and let down her long golden hair as she remained lying on the sofa, her left elbow propped up on it for support.

"You are beautiful… So seductive…"

He leaned over her and gently kissed her neck. The young woman closed her eyes and directly imagined William, despite herself. She imagined him kissing her neck and running his hand gently through her hair. She saw him squeeze her waist and slide his hand under her dressing gown to land on her center.

She felt William's weight on her, and she felt him continue to kiss her face. She moaned as he continued to pleasure her. She threw her head back in ecstasy and gripped the edges of the sofa.

"W…" Julia quickly opened her eyes.

She had almost said William's name. She had almost moaned the name of another man in her husband's arms. She had felt so much pleasure. A pleasure she had literally never felt. She had been about to cum for the first time in her life but had been snapped back to reality and pretended to have an orgasm. It was not William's black hair that she saw, but her husband's blond-red hair.

Her husband looked at her and smiled.

"I've never felt you so passionate..." remarked the doctor proudly.

Julia forced herself to smile at her husband.

"You were beautiful…so feminine."

Ethan got up and while the hand to his wife who took it. She felt so frustrated… She knew her husband wanted to continue their antics in their bedroom. And she knew she would not feel anything she wanted to feel with William… She knew it would be like the other times… She did not want that anymore… She wanted to change her life.
