Page 75 of Choosing a Forever
Something’s shifted between Mack and me in the week since I was injured.
She’s been both more open and more reserved. I don’t know how to explain it. She talks to me about her day more, and I’ve been able to pull more smiles from her than I have before, but she still goes a little quiet sometimes when things turn serious. Something in my gut tells me she’s holding back from saying something, but I don’t have a single clue what it could be.
She’s been an angel helping me with my recovery, cooking for me and making sure I have everything I need so I don’t have to get up. She’s acting like I broke my entire leg instead of just spraining my ankle, but I’m basking in her doting attention, and I don’t want to give it up.
I got bored of TV, so I’ve been working my way through some of her books.
Books I didn’t realize had explicit sex scenes. Dirty, filthy scenes that have my imagination running away.
I thought I was picking up a nice, fun fantasy novel about dragons and fairies with a sweet little romance where the two main characters fall in love.
And thatiswhat it’s about. But I didn’t realize halfway through the male main character would say “fuck it,” pin his love interest against a wall, and stick his head up her skirt.
I had to sit on the couch for half an hour to will my erection to go down because Mack was behind me working, and I didn’t know how she would react.
I went to find some other reading material, but I thinkallof Mack’s books contain scenes like that.
Some of them, she put little sticky tabs in, like she wanted to remember where the scene was so she could come back to it later. Those are the only parts of the book with sticky tabs, at least from the four I looked at. I didn’t want to keep looking at them and make her wonder what I was looking for. I don’t want her to feel ashamed for what she likes.
Does she…touch herselfto these scenes?
Oh no, that’s a dangerous thought. Nope. Don’t go there.
But if she does…
It must mean she likes that stuff in real life, right? Reading the marked scenes would be like a how-to guide for pleasuring my wife.
Not that she’s given any indication shewantsme to pleasure her, but if the chance arose…
I should be prepared.
Mack has a team lunch today, so she’ll be out of the house long enough for me to snoop without being questioned and give me time to take notes.
“Are you sure you’re going to be okay?” she calls from the bedroom.
“Yes, Mack. I’m feeling a lot better. I just need to…” I trail off as she comes out in those freaking black skinny jeans and a black shirt with billowy sleeves. Her lips are painted the same color as the night I proposed to her, and my heart leaps into my throat as I remember our kiss.
“Need to what?” She tilts her head, her hair falling over one shoulder.
What was I saying?“Need to make sure I stay consistent on my pain meds and keep it iced. I should be fine to go back to office duty next week.”
Mack nods. “Text me if you need anything.”
“Okay. Have fun at your lunch. I l-like the outfit. You look amazing.”
Mack’s face flushes. “Thank you. I’ll see you later.”
As soon as I hear the front door close, I hobble over to her bookcase and grab a stack of books with the most sticky tabs.
I spend the next hour reading through the tabbed sections. One book has seven scenes marked, and it’s…
Hot.
I’m not entirely sure what the book is about, but the sex scenes start five chapters in and seem to happen every couple of chapters. He… licks her in his office on his desk, then ties her to his bed at his house. He uses a vibrator on her and puts clamps on her nipples.
I had to look up if nipple clamps are safe because it soundspainful, but apparently, they’re very, very pleasurable if used correctly.
There are so many things I don’t know, and I’m suddenly ravenous for more information.
