” Nothing.” David replied, smiling down at her.
He didn’t want her finding out about the absurd proposal his friend made. According to him, it felt unfair to her and that’s not something his conscience could take.
Looking at him, she felt guilty.
Hiding the truth from him was the best way to make sure everything went as planned.
‘ I’m sorry David but this is the only way to ensure that Lily gets well. I would do anything for her because to me, she isn’t just my stepdaughter, she is my daughter.’ Sheila apologised inwardly.
David resumed to kiss her. He captured her sweet and plump lips, nibbling on them softly. Their tongues entwined and caressed each other, moans escaped from their throats, lips muffled the sounds. David deepened the kiss, sucking on her lower lip before biting it. His hand went up to her waist, lifting her T-shirt up, feeling her bare skin underneath.
He always Loved how her skin felt soft and pleasant to his touch. It had been a few days since he last touched her bare skin but now as he ran his hands up and down her back, he realised how much he missed it. He pressed her closer to him, trying to feel as much as he could of her.
To him, Sheila was akin to the drug he was addicted to yet still wanted more.
Having been in love for the first time in his life, he could not get enough of her.
David’s hands wandered up and cupped her twin melons. He had seen how those twin nipples poked on her shirt, demanding his attention.
Now, he would give them the attention they deserve.
” David…” Sheila moaned, as she felt the familiar flutter in her stomach.
They made out for some time until Sheila pulled herself back.
” Let’s make love tonight.” She breathed out. The effect of her soft purr stirred something deep inside David and his member replied to her request by standing at attention.
” What?” David asked in surprise.
” Tonight, let’s make love until dawn.” Sheila smiled.
David was rendered speechless. He was used to a shy Sheila who would never take the initiative to initiate any intimacy between them so what happened tonight?
Why was she acting like a lustful woman who desperately needed her husband to make love to her?
Not like he was complaining. He loved all the versions of his wife.
” Are you drunk?” David could not help but ask. Only a drunk Sheila would be that audacious.
But they didn’t drink any wine during dinner.
Sheila felt like slapping the man before her.
Drunk? Must she be inebriated to be brave and ask for her rights?
Despite the displeasure, she smiled beautifully at him.
” Yes, I am so drunk that all I think about is making love to you.” She purred into his ears before licking his earlobes.
A shiver ran down David’s spine.
He instantly pushed her away.
” You secretly had a drink?” He reprimanded.
Sheila rolled her eyes.
‘Seriously? What the fuck is wrong with this dimwit? Can’t he tell I am seducing him? Must I spell it out clearly so that he can understand?’ she complained inwardly.
She was so angry that she wanted to vomit blood.
Suppressing her anger, she decided to give it one more try.
Giving David her signature smile, she inched closer, implanting herself in his arms and sticking to him like a koala.
” I am drunk with your love honey. Anytime I see you, I just want to kidnap you and lock you in a house and have my way with you.” She spoke seductively.
David frowned.
” Are you perhaps possessed?” He asked. He could not figure out why all of a sudden, his wife was acting strange.
She was just fine when she put Lily to sleep so what the hell happened to her?
After racking his brains, he came out with two explanations. She is either drunk or possessed.
” Possessed huh?” Sheila spat, a look of fury taking over her once smiling face.
” You are impossible.” She added. Glaring at him one last time, she turned to Walk away only to have David grip her wrist.
” Where are you going? It’s late, we should head to bed.” He said amidst his confusion.
Sheila turned to glare at him, making David release her hand and take a step back.
The look on his wife’s face told him that she was angry. Really angry.
But what did he do to piss her off so badly? He didn’t have any idea.
” Good night.” Sheila spoke and with that, she turned around and stormed up the out, not caring if he was following her or not.
She slammed the door Making David jump in fright.
” What did I do wrong?” David was left wondering all by himself.
No matter how hard he tried to think, he didn’t see any mistake he made that could explain her anger towards him.
As he laid in bed all by himself, he felt unsettled.
Sheila on the other hand made her way to her old room before they got married.
She had thought that she had left the room, who would have thought she would be coming back so soon?
” That loathsome man? How can he remain indifferent to my seduction!” She cursed inwardly.
It was like David’s brain had been fried. Otherwise how could he not tell her intentions?
The more she thought about it, the more annoyed she got.
Sitting on her bed, she recalled how that man always tried to initiate intimacy on their honeymoon.
Could it be that he was now tired of her and did not desire her anymore?
That disturbing thought had her picking her phone and giving a call to the only person who could help her with advice.
The phone was picked on the second ring.
” Sweetheart, what’s with the call so late at night? Are you not supposed to be cuddling with your husband considering that you are newlyweds?” Vanessa’s question was like a painful reminder, mocking her of her current situation.
” Don’t even mention his name. I’m so angry right now.” Sheila replied with a huff.
” Wait a minute, did you guys fight?” Vanessa’s worried voice greeted Sheila’s ears, making her shake her head.
” Not exactly.” She replied.
“Then what the hell happened? Why are you angry at him?” Vanessa Inquired, a hint of impatience lacing her words.
” I…” Sheila was about to answer when she stopped herself. What was she going to say to Vanessa? That she tried to seduce her husband and failed miserably? Won’t that make her a target of ridicule? Knowing her friend well, she was never going to hear the end of it.
” You…?” Vanessa pressed, leaving Sheila with no option but to tell her about it. Anyway, she needed Vanessa’s help and for that, she had to come clean about everything.
” I tried to seduce my husband but he won’t bulge.” Sheila said in a low voice.
She waited for a few seconds to hear Vanessa’s reply but it never came.
” Did you hear what I just said? I said I tried…”
” I heard you already.” Vanessa said, ” I’m just trying to absorb that piece of breaking news.” She added before she burst out laughing.
” What’s funny? Are you laughing at my predicament?” Sheila berated.
Deep down, she was actually embarrassed. It didn’t help that her friend was now laughing at her.
” Of Course I’m not laughing at you. I’m just wondering, why would you seduce him? That guy is totally smitten by your charm.” Vanessa spoke, still chuckling.
” What charm?” Sheila asked in mockery.
” Can you believe he thought that I was drunk when I asked him to make love to me? It’s unbelievable.” Sheila complained.
” Isn’t it the usual thing for newlyweds? I mean, you are supposed to make love to each other so why would he think that you are drunk?” Vanessa probed.
” I’m going to divorce him.” Sheila declared.
David who had just arrived at her door to have a talk with her felt his heart constrict painfully. Dejected, he turned to walk away.
After Vanessa managed to calm down Sheila, the two made an appointment to meet tomorrow.
With a smile, she went to sleep.
