He pulls me into a tight embrace, and his eyes lock onto mine

This man...I don't know what it is about him, but I just can't seem to stay away. If this is wrong, then I don't want to be right. I-I want.......

He leans in until our lips just barely brush, sending tingles down my spine

What do you want, baby?

I look straight into his eyes and take a deep breath, aware my answer will change everything between us. But before I can admit what's been on my mind ever since I met him, a different, familiar voice chills me straight to the bone.

What's going on here?!  
Is that my husband??

Ten days ago...
Although being a senator's wife has its perks, the downsides are far greater. Every moment of my life is planned out and scrutinised every wrinkle scoffed at

Good morning, Jessica

I flash a wide smile at the receptionist, who looks almost startled to see me. Her cheeks are flushed, and her mouth remains open right until the elevator doors close between us

What's up with her?

As soon as I reach the third floor, I walk straight into Eli's office and glance down at my watch
Eli and I are supposed to have a sit-down interview with National News today to discuss his campaign

we're running a bit late - we'll have to hurry if we want to make it on time

I open my mouth to announce my arrival, but the sight before me stops me in my tracks

Is that Lora, His assistant? No wait, I think her name is Lexa

She's half sitting on the edge of the desk, facing my husband. When I noticed her hand rubbing him between his legs, it didn't take me long to realise what was going on
I watch through the thinly veiled fascination as the woman in question straddled my husband on his office chair

She's much more attractive than the last one

Eli's chapped lips are kissing her exposed shoulder while her head is thrown back and her eyes close in pleasure

Oh, please I've felt those lips on my skin before. There's no way it feels that good

She moans loudly as his hand begins to move up her thigh. They are so wrapped up in one another that they haven't even noticed I'm standing in the doorway. Just as he starts to slide down her panties, I clear my throat

Eli, are you ready to go?
     
                                        Kiara!!!

Eli immediately stands up, which sends Lana tumbling to the ground

Ouch!

It didn't take her long to get back on her feet, and her eyes grew wide when she noticed me

Mrs.Nelson! It's so nice to see you again!

I nod in her direction

Lexa

         Oh, it's Lana actually, ma'am. But that's close enough! Wow, you look lovely, Mrs.Nelson!

Lana adjusts her blouse, then runs her hand through her hair, Giving me a big, nervous smile.
Poor girl! She can't believe this is the first time I've walked in on something like this, can she?
