Change of Mind

"We shouldn't be doing this."

He said it as he ran fingers down her soft cheek, feeling every part of her beautiful face.

"You have a husband."

"And you have a wife."

She said it as she wrapped arms around his neck, drawing their lips closer to one another, almost meeting.

"But it doesn't mean we shouldn't be doing this."

"It feels wrong."

He said it as he laid her down on the bed, straddling her.

"I have a child."

"I don't."

She didn't care for children. They were dirty, cried a lot, and kept one up at night.

"It's exciting."

"I love my wife."

He pressed kisses to her neck, extracting a moan from her.

"I do."

"I love my husband, too."

She ran fingers down his torso.

"But not like I love you."

"I love you, too."

It felt so natural coming from his lips.

"But we can't be doing this."

"Why? Where are you going?"

They'd barely got started before he was up and off the bed, redressing himself.

"You can't leave!"

"I'm going home to my wife and son."

He grabbed his wand and went for the door.

"They need me."

"I need you."

She followed him.

"Please."

"I'm sorry."

He threw the door open.

"I need to go."

"Please!"

She followed him out, but it was too late; he was gone.

"I love you."
