The dashboard thermometer reads ninety-three when I pull into AquaZen. Summer heat radiates off the pavement, creating wavy mirages above the cars. I check my lipstick in the rearview—a splash of red against otherwise minimal makeup.
I take my time gathering my things. The caftan was a calculated decision—sheer enough that my new bikini shows through if the light hits right, but still offering the pretense of modesty. I've worn progressively revealing swimwear over the past year, each new purchase a silent question cast across the chlorinated water.
When I step out, the heavy air wraps around my bare legs like damp silk. My sandals click against the asphalt as I swing my legs out, one at a time.
And there he is. Jacob. Leaning against his car across the lot, just free from his shift.
He hasn't bothered with a shirt. Why would he? His chest gleams in the late afternoon sun, all tight planes and smooth curves. That dark pompadour hairstyle makes him look like he stepped out of another era—something classic and masculine that doesn't exist anymore. Only twenty-six, but he carries himself with the gravity of someone far older.
We've never spoken. Not once in a year of seeing each other at the same times, in the same pool. But I know his eyes. I know exactly how they feel when they move over me.
Like now.
My heart quickens as our gazes connect across the lot. The world narrows to just this—his steady, expressionless stare and the heat rising up my neck. I want his attention desperately and fear it just the same.
I offer a small, tight smile—the kind that doesn't reveal anything, the kind I can later pretend meant nothing if necessary.
His face remains impassive. Not cold, exactly, but unreadable. Judging me? Desiring me? It's impossible to tell, and that uncertainty makes my skin tingle.
Self-consciousness hits me like a wave. I drop my eyes and fumble with my gym bag, suddenly fascinated by the zipper that refuses to close completely. I make a show of arranging my towel, buying seconds to compose myself.
When I start walking toward the entrance, I don't look back at him. I don't need to. The weight of his gaze follows me like a physical touch across my shoulders, down the curve of my spine, lingering on the roundness of my ass beneath the thin fabric. My body responds to this invisible contact—nipples tightening, a hollow feeling spreading through my abdomen.
I maintain my pace—not hurrying, not slowing. My hips sway perhaps a little more than necessary. The doors hiss open, and cool, chlorine-scented air rushes to meet me.
Only when I'm inside do I permit myself a smile—a real one this time, not the careful thing I offered him. Tomorrow, we'll do this again. The same silent exchange, the same unspoken promise. He'll watch. I'll pretend not to notice, even as I position myself where he can see best.
This is what we do. This is all we do.
For now.

The upper floor at AquaZen smells musty, unused. I squint in the half-light of the storage closet, scanning shelves of ancient invoices for last quarter's inventory sheets. Management insists everything should be digitized, but here I am, hunting through paper files like it's 1995.
A sound stops me mid-reach – the unmistakable click of a door closing nearby. The office next door. Nobody uses it except occasionally for staff meetings.
Voices murmur through the thin wall, indistinct but unmistakably a man and woman. I freeze, not wanting to announce my presence and create an awkward situation for all of us. I'll just wait until they leave.
Then I hear her laugh – soft, throaty. Samantha.
My heart pounds harder. I recognize the sound from poolside – that rare, genuine laugh she gives when she thinks no one is paying attention. I've caught it a few times from the lifeguard chair.
"Daniel, we shouldn't..." Her voice, clearer now, playful but hushed.
"You're the one who brought me up here." A man's voice – her husband, I assume.
The rustle of clothing. A soft thud against the wall we share.
I should leave. I know I should leave. But any movement now would give me away. I'm trapped, forced to listen as more sounds filter through: heavy breathing, the soft wet sounds of kissing, a zipper being pulled down.
"Shhh," she whispers. "Someone might hear."
She has no idea how right she is. I stand perfectly still, barely breathing.
"God, you're wet," her husband murmurs.
The wall vibrates slightly as something – someone – presses against it. A desk, maybe. I hear a small gasp from Samantha.
"Just... quickly," she whispers.
My cock hardens instantly, traitorously. I close my eyes, trying to block out the sounds, but that only makes them more vivid.
The rhythmic creaking begins – quiet but unmistakable. I can picture her perched on the edge of the desk, her husband standing between her legs. The mental image is excruciating.
"Yes," she breathes, almost inaudible.
The sounds quicken – skin against skin, the desk's subtle protestations, her soft, controlled pants. She's holding back, I can tell. Keeping quiet by necessity but also, I sense, by habit.
My hand presses against the bulge in my shorts without conscious decision. I pull it away immediately, disgusted with myself. This is wrong. So fucking wrong.
"I'm close," the man grunts.
A louder gasp from Samantha. "Me too. Don't stop."
I press my back against the wall, eyes squeezed shut, my entire body rigid with the effort not to move, not to make a sound, not to touch myself.
"Fuck," her husband hisses.
A subtle, stifled moan from Samantha – the sound of someone coming who doesn't want to be heard. It's the most erotic thing I've ever heard in my life.
A few more muffled movements. The sound of tissues being pulled from a box. Clothing being readjusted.
"We should get back," Samantha says, her voice returning to normal.
"That was... unexpected," her husband replies, sounding pleased but confused.
"I know." A smile in her voice. "See you at home later."
More shuffling. The door opens and closes. Footsteps recede down the hallway.
I remain frozen for several minutes after they leave, my breathing shallow, my heart hammering. My erection strains painfully against my shorts. My hands shake.
The room feels too hot, airless. The faint scent of sex seems to seep through the wall.
I slide down until I'm sitting on the dusty floor, head in my hands. What just happened? What kind of person am I, getting turned on by that?
I try to stand but my legs feel weak. The inventory sheets are forgotten. All I can think about is Samantha's breathy gasps, the sound of her coming. I'll never be able to look at her the same way again.
I wait until I'm sure the hallway is empty. Then I slip out of the storage closet and head straight for the men's locker room. I need a cold shower. I need to wash away what just happened.
But I know the sounds are burned into my memory now. I'll hear them every time I see her by the pool.

The locker room is empty this late. Everyone's gone home except the night janitor, and he won't make his rounds for another hour. The sound of water dripping from a leaky showerhead echoes off the tile walls. I need this solitude. Need to get my head straight.
I've taken three cold showers since this afternoon. None of them helped.
Her voice keeps playing in my head. Those little gasps. The way she tried so hard to stay quiet while her husband fucked her. I close my eyes and immediately see her – not as I've actually seen her by the pool, but how I imagine she looked in that office. Skirt hiked up. Panties pushed aside. Her husband's fingers sliding through her wet folds.
"Fuck," I mutter, slamming my locker shut. My erection hasn't subsided for more than twenty minutes at a time since I heard them. This isn't me. I don't obsess over married women. I don't fantasize about people I work with. I don't get off on sounds I was never meant to hear.
But I can't stop.
I strip down to nothing and head for the shower stalls. Each step makes my cock bounce heavily against my thigh. I'm so hard it almost hurts. I turn the water to scalding, hoping the heat will burn these thoughts away. Steam fills the small space as I close the stall door and slide the lock into place.
The water pounds against my shoulders, but instead of clearing my mind, it just creates white noise – a backdrop that makes the memory of her sounds even clearer. I close my eyes and lean one arm against the tile wall.
"Just... quickly." Her whisper echoes in my mind.
My hand moves to my cock without conscious decision. I wrap my fingers around the shaft and squeeze, hoping the pressure might diminish the need. Instead, it intensifies it.
I start to stroke, slowly at first. This is wrong. So wrong. But I can't stop the images now – Samantha spread out beneath me instead of her husband. Her full, pouty lips parted in pleasure. Those big round eyes locked on mine as I push inside her.
I pump faster, my breathing harsh and ragged. In my mind, I hear her again – that stifled moan when she came. But this time she's not holding back. She's crying out my name as I thrust into her.
"Yes, Jacob, yes."
My pace becomes frantic, desperate. Water cascades down my back as I imagine her full breasts bouncing with each thrust, her pussy gripping my cock tight. I think about how wet she was – "God, you're wet" – and imagine sliding my fingers through those slick folds before pushing inside her.
"Fuck," I hiss through gritted teeth.
The fantasy shifts. Now she's on her knees before me, those red lips stretched around my cock as she looks up at me. Her hand between her legs, touching herself while she sucks me off.
I'm close now, my hand a blur on my shaft, gripping tight, twisting slightly at the head where I'm most sensitive. My balls draw up tight against my body. The tension builds, unbearable, unstoppable.
I come with a strangled groan, spurts of cum hitting the shower wall, washing away in rivulets down the tile. My body shudders with the force of my orgasm, knees buckling slightly. For just a moment, the relief is transcendent, pure physical release washing through me.
Then the shame crashes down, instant and suffocating.
What the fuck am I doing? Getting off to the sounds of a married woman having sex with her husband? Fantasizing about a woman who's never shown the slightest interest in me beyond a tight-lipped smile? This isn't me. This isn't who I want to be.
I scrub myself roughly with soap, as if I could wash away the guilt along with the sweat. The water begins to cool as the hot water tank depletes. I shut it off and stand dripping, my forehead pressed against the tile.
"Get it together," I mutter to myself.
That's when I hear it – the locker room door swinging open, followed by footsteps. I freeze.
"Hey, anyone here? I think I left my phone..."
It's Matt, the college kid who works weekends as a lifeguard. His voice bounces off the tile walls.
I clear my throat. "Yeah, I'm in the shower."
"Oh, Jacob? That you? Sorry, man, just need to grab my—"
I hear him approaching the shower area. I reach for my towel, but it's too late. As I turn, Matt rounds the corner. He stops abruptly, eyes widening as they take in the scene – me, still half-hard, the evidence of what I've been doing still visible on the shower wall despite the water.
Our eyes lock for one excruciating second. His face turns bright red.
"Oh, shit, my bad, man," he sputters, already backing away. "I'll... um... I can come back..." He practically runs out of the locker room, the door slamming behind him.
I stand there, naked, exposed, humiliated. The fortress of self-control I've built over years just crumbled completely. First the voyeurism in the closet, then jerking off in the staff shower, now caught by a teenager who looks up to me.
I sink down onto the shower bench, towel clutched in my hand, water dripping from my hair onto my shoulders. I feel hollowed out. Raw. Everything I've tried to be – disciplined, moral, in control – suddenly seems like a joke. All it took was the sound of Samantha coming to completely unravel me.
Tomorrow I'll see her by the pool again, probably in that black bikini that barely contains her breasts. I'll have to look her in the eye knowing what I've done, knowing what I've imagined.
I dry off mechanically and pull on my clothes, movements stiff and deliberate. I need to lock this down. Build the walls higher. Stronger. No more looking at her. No more thinking about her sounds, her body, her lips.
I slam my locker shut with unnecessary force. The sound echoes in the empty room, a punctuation mark on my resolution.
I will not become this person.
I just need to stay away from Samantha.

I slide into the pool, immersing myself up to my shoulders in the cool water. The chlorine smell fills my nose as I push off, breast-stroking lazily toward the deep end. My muscles are already loose from my earlier workout, but I need the ritual of the pool—something to calm my mind after what happened with Daniel in the office yesterday.
Jacob is here, of course. He's always here this time of day. Today he's on the lifeguard stand, his body rigid, sunglasses obscuring his eyes. But I feel him watching. I always do.
Except—something's different. His head is angled slightly away from me, jaw clenched. Even with the glasses, I can tell he's deliberately avoiding looking my way. The realization makes my stomach tighten. Our unspoken dance of watching each other has become so familiar, so expected, that its absence feels like a slap.
Did I do something wrong? I mentally review our last wordless exchange—that tight smile I gave him in the parking lot yesterday. Nothing unusual there.
I wait until his shift change, when Antonio climbs onto the stand and Jacob descends. He moves toward the equipment room, tall and stiff. My window is now.
I push myself out of the pool in one smooth motion, water cascading down my body. My red bikini clings to me, and I feel a petty satisfaction knowing how it accentuates every curve. I catch him glancing my way before immediately averting his eyes.
Grabbing my towel, I follow him. I shouldn't care this much about a man I've never actually spoken to, but this sudden shift in our routine bothers me more than I'd like to admit.
"Hey," I say when I catch up to him by the deep end. The pool is nearly empty this time of day, just a few elderly swimmers doing slow laps at the shallow end.
Jacob looks at me, startled. "Ma'am?" His voice is deeper than I expected.
"You seem... off today," I say, lowering my voice to a conspiratorial whisper. "Is everything okay?"
His face hardens, muscles in his jaw working. He stands completely still, like he's trying to physically distance himself without actually moving away.
"Fine," he says curtly.
My irritation flares. A year of stolen glances, of this electricity between us, and this is what I get? One word? I step closer—close enough to smell the chlorine on his skin mixed with something warmer, more masculine.
"You know," I say, my lips almost brushing his ear, "ever since that day in the office, I've been very turned on by the... tension between us."
His whole body goes rigid. His eyes, suddenly wide, lock onto mine.
"What did you just say?" His voice is barely audible.
It takes me a moment to register what I've just admitted. Heat creeps up my neck. I'm not sure what possessed me to say it—I've never been so forward in my life. But there's no taking it back now, and honestly, I don't want to. The way he's looking at me makes my skin tingle.
"You heard me," I say, surprised by my own boldness. "There's something between us. Has been for a long time. And I think you feel it too."
Jacob stares at me for what feels like an eternity, conflict raging behind his eyes. Then, without warning, he glances down pointedly at the front of his navy swim trunks. I follow his gaze and see the unmistakable bulge there.
When he meets my eyes again, his voice is a low growl. "That 'tension'? It makes my cock hard every time I look at you."
The crude words hit me like a physical shock. My breath catches, and for a moment I can't speak. Nobody has ever talked to me like that—not even Daniel in our most intimate moments. It's raw, honest, completely unfiltered by politeness or pretense.
And it's the hottest thing I've ever heard.
"So you have been watching me," I manage to say, my voice barely above a whisper.
"Every damn day for a year," he admits. "And now I can't stop hearing you. From the office." His eyes darken. "Were you thinking about me? When you were with him?"
My mind races back to yesterday with Daniel—quick, functional, forgettable. Had I been thinking of Jacob? Not consciously. But his question makes me realize that I've always been performing for him, even when he wasn't there. Wearing the bikinis I know draw attention, arching my back slightly when I feel his eyes on me.
"I'm thinking about you now," I say, instead of answering directly.
A family with small children enters the pool area, their cheerful voices shattering our bubble. Jacob takes a deliberate step back, his professional mask slipping back into place.
"I have to get back to work," he says, voice carefully controlled.
I nod, suddenly uncertain. Have I crossed a line? Made a fool of myself?
But as he turns to go, he murmurs, "Samantha." My name in his mouth sends a shiver down my spine. "This isn't over."
I watch him walk away, my heart pounding so hard I'm certain everyone around me can hear it. Whatever I've started, there's no turning back now.

The door of the women's locker room swings shut behind me with a muted thud. I'm alone in here, thank god. My hands are trembling. My face feels hot.
I stand in front of the mirror, watching a droplet of pool water trace a path from my collarbone down between my breasts. My skin is flushed, not from exertion but from what just happened.
"That 'tension'? It makes my cock hard every time I look at you."
The words replay in my head, sending another jolt through my body. I grip the edge of the sink. I've heard men talk dirty before—Daniel occasionally tries when he's had a few drinks—but this was different. There was no performance in Jacob's words, no calculation. Just raw truth.
And I provoked it. I made it happen.
A slow smile spreads across my face as I look at my reflection. My lips are slightly swollen from being pressed together so tightly during our exchange. My pupils are dilated. I look... different. Alive in a way I haven't felt in years.
For so long, I've dressed to be looked at. Worn bikinis that make men's eyes linger. But I've always been passive in the transaction—the object to be admired, never the one making demands. I'd forgotten what it feels like to want something and simply reach for it.
I trace my finger over my bottom lip, studying its fullness. These lips have smiled politely at countless men. They've whispered sweet nothings to Daniel. They've pressed together in silent frustration when what I really wanted to say felt too dangerous.
But today, they spoke a truth. They asked for something.
And the response I got—crude, blunt, honest—was more thrilling than any practiced compliment I've ever received.
I turn on the tap, splash cold water on my face. My heart is still racing. The woman in the mirror doesn't look like the Samantha who walked into the pool an hour ago. There's something different in her eyes. Something hungry.
"This isn't over," he'd said. The memory makes me shiver despite the locker room's humid warmth.
No, it certainly isn't.
I dry my hands, smooth my hair, and adjust my cover-up with more care than usual. I'm suddenly impatient to be home, to be alone with these new feelings, this strange energy coursing through me.
As I gather my things, I catch myself smiling again at my reflection. The woman looking back at me seems both familiar and like a stranger. Forty-three years old, and I'm only just discovering that my desire has a voice.
And it feels so damn good to finally let it speak.

For the next several days, I avoided her eyes. Each time I saw Samantha enter the pool area, I focused intently on whatever I was doing—checking water pH levels, organizing life vests, anything to keep my gaze from drifting to her curves beneath that little black bikini. Our moment by the deep end had crossed a line. Speaking those words aloud—admitting what she did to me physically—had made this thing between us too real.
Tonight I'm working late, finishing inventory before closing. The gym is nearly empty, just a few die-hards getting in their final laps. I'm exhausted, but my body is wired, tense from days of keeping myself in check.
That's when Evelyn walks in.
She's been coming onto me for weeks. Lingering touches when I spot her at the weight machines, suggestive comments during her swim lessons. Tonight she catches me alone in the staff corridor.
"You look tense," she says, her hand grazing my arm. "I could help with that."
I should say no. I always say no. But tonight, with my nerves frayed and my body aching for release, I just nod.
We slip into the men's locker room. It's after hours, the cleaning crew will be through soon, but right now it's deserted. I prop the door open slightly with a towel—standard procedure for the cleaning staff—and lead her to the back row of lockers where we won't be seen from the entrance.
There are no kisses. This isn't about connection. It's purely physical, an outlet for the pressure that's been building inside me. Evelyn seems to understand this, turning away from me, bending slightly to brace herself against the lockers.
I unzip my shorts, pushing them down just enough. Evelyn's already slipped her yoga pants to her knees. I pull a condom from my wallet, tear it open, roll it on. My cock is painfully hard, has been for days, thinking about Samantha's words, her lips, the way she looked at me.
But I push those thoughts away. This is about release, nothing more.
Evelyn's wet, ready. I push into her from behind in one smooth thrust, and she gasps. The sound echoes in the empty room. I grip her hips tightly, maybe too tightly, and begin to move. Hard, fast, mechanical. Each thrust drives us both forward, her hands slapping against the metal lockers for balance.
"Fuck, Jacob," she moans. "Harder."
I oblige, my fingers digging into the soft flesh of her hips as I pound into her. The slapping sound of skin on skin fills the locker room. Evelyn's pussy grips me with each thrust, hot and tight, but my mind is elsewhere. I'm operating on instinct, my body taking what it needs while my thoughts remain distant.
I close my eyes, focusing only on sensation. The pressure builds quickly, my breath coming in ragged pants. Evelyn reaches between her legs to touch herself, her internal muscles clenching around me as she works toward her own climax.
"You're so fucking big," she breathes, and I thrust deeper in response.
The rhythm grows erratic as I near the edge. My muscles tense, sweat beading on my forehead. Evelyn comes first, a sharp cry escaping her lips as her body shudders. The pulsing of her orgasm triggers my own. I grunt, driving into her one final time as I empty myself, the relief almost painful in its intensity.
For a moment, we stay like that, both catching our breath. Then I pull out carefully, dispose of the condom in the nearby trash. We don't speak as we readjust our clothing. This wasn't our first encounter, and we both understand the rules. No strings, no talking afterward.
"Thanks," Evelyn says simply, running a hand through her disheveled hair. "I needed that."
I nod, already feeling the familiar weight of guilt settling on my shoulders. Not for what we did—we're both consenting adults—but for the emptiness of it. For the fact that even at the height of pleasure, I felt disconnected, my mind elsewhere.
Evelyn leaves first. I stay behind to splash some water on my face, to gather myself before finishing up for the night.
I don't notice the subtle shift in the doorway's opening. Don't see the shadow that lingers there for a moment before disappearing. Don't realize we had an audience.
If I had, everything that happens next might have made more sense.

I stumble up the back stairs, my heart hammering against my ribs. What I just saw—Jacob's powerful body, the way his muscles tensed with each thrust, the absolute focus on his face—has left me dizzy. The image loops in my mind: his hands gripping Evelyn's hips, the raw, animal power of him.
My legs feel weak by the time I reach the upstairs office. This dusty room, barely used since the new administration area was built downstairs, has become a kind of sanctuary. It's where Daniel and I... but now all I can think about is Jacob.
I lock the door behind me and sink into the creaking desk chair. My breath comes in shallow gasps. Between my legs, I'm embarrassingly wet. I've never felt jealousy like this before—it burns through me, mingles with desire until I can't separate the two.
"Fuck," I whisper to the empty room.
My hand moves without conscious decision, sliding under my skirt, pushing aside the damp fabric of my underwear. I'm swollen, slick. I close my eyes and imagine it's me pressed against those lockers, Jacob's strong hands on my body, his cock—thicker than I'd even fantasized—driving into me.
"Jacob," I breathe, my fingers circling my clit.
The fantasy is vivid, unstoppable. I see myself in Evelyn's place, feel the cold metal of the lockers against my palms, the delicious stretch as he fills me. My fingers move faster, my breathing grows ragged.
I don't hear the doorknob rattle at first. When I do, I freeze. Then comes the sound of a key in the lock.
There's no time to compose myself. I'm still touching myself when the door swings open and Jacob stands there, his expression shifting from surprise to something darker as he takes in the scene before him.
For one awful moment, I'm mortified. Then I see the way his eyes darken, the unmistakable bulge in his shorts. The humiliation transforms, melts into something molten and urgent.
"Watching you," I say, my voice barely recognizable, husky with need. "It made me so fucking hot."
He says nothing, just stares at me with those intense brown eyes. In the silence, I make a decision. For once in my life, I'm not going to be passive. I'm not going to wait for what I want to be given to me.
I slide from the chair onto my knees before him. The thin carpet does little to cushion the hard floor, but I don't care. I look up at him, all pretense gone.
"Fuck me," I say, the words both plea and demand. "Please."
His face changes then, softens somehow despite the raw desire in his eyes. He steps forward, cups my face in his large hand. The tenderness of the gesture nearly undoes me.
I reach for his shorts, my fingers fumbling with the button, the zipper. He's already hard again, his cock springing free as I push the fabric down. He's beautiful—thick, flushed, a drop of pre-cum glistening at the tip.
Without hesitation, I take him in my mouth. He tastes clean, masculine. Above me, Jacob groans, his fingers threading through my hair.
"Jesus, Samantha," he says, his voice strained.
I take him deeper, hollowing my cheeks, using my tongue along the underside. All those years of being a dutiful wife have taught me this skill, at least. But this is different. This isn't duty. This is hunger.
Jacob's breathing grows ragged. His hips move subtly, carefully, as if he's fighting the urge to thrust deeper. I grab his ass, urging him on, wanting to feel him lose control.
Suddenly he pulls away, his cock slipping from my mouth with a wet sound that should be obscene but only makes me want him more.
"Not like this," he says, bending down to pull me to my feet.
We're a tangle of hands and mouths then, frantic. He pushes my skirt up, yanks my underwear down. I fumble with his shorts, pushing them further down his thighs. He lifts me onto the desk, scattering old papers to the floor, but I shake my head.
"I want to be on top," I say, surprising myself with the boldness.
Jacob's eyes flash with approval. He lays back on the floor, and I straddle him. For a moment, I hesitate—this is real, this is happening—but then his hands find my hips, and all hesitation vanishes.
I sink down onto him slowly, gasping at the stretch. He fills me completely, perfectly. Jacob's eyes lock with mine as I begin to move, his hands guiding my hips but letting me set the pace.
"Fuck, you feel so good," he groans. "So tight, so wet for me."
His words send a jolt of pleasure through me. I've never been talked to like this. It's raw, honest, and it makes me wild. I ride him harder, my hands braced on his chest, feeling the hard planes of muscle under my palms.
Jacob reaches between us, his thumb finding my clit with unerring accuracy. The dual sensation—his thick cock filling me, his thumb circling that sensitive bundle of nerves—is overwhelming.
"Jacob," I pant. "I'm going to—"
"Yes," he urges, his hips thrusting up to meet mine. "Come for me. I want to feel you."
The orgasm crashes over me suddenly, intensely. My inner walls clamp down on him, pulsing as waves of pleasure radiate outward. I cry out, not caring who might hear.
Jacob's control snaps. He grips my hips hard enough to bruise, holding me in place as he thrusts up into me, once, twice, three times before he stiffens, his face contorting in pleasure as he comes deep inside me.
I collapse onto his chest, both of us breathing heavily. The office smells of sex and chlorine, a strange but not unpleasant combination. His arms come around me, holding me close, his heartbeat thundering against my ear.
For a long moment, neither of us speaks. Reality begins to seep back in—I've just cheated on my husband, with a man nearly two decades younger—but I can't bring myself to regret it.
Finally, Jacob breaks the silence. "I saw you," he says softly. "Standing at the door."
I tense, but his arms tighten around me.
"I'm glad you watched," he continues. "I've wanted this—wanted you—for so long."
I lift my head to look at him. The cold, judgmental mask he usually wears is gone, replaced by something open, almost vulnerable.
My phone buzzes from where I dropped my purse. Daniel, probably wondering where I am. Reality intrudes further, but I push it away. Not yet.
"What happens now?" Jacob asks.
I have no answer for him. But for the first time in what feels like forever, I'm not just going to passively accept whatever comes. I'm going to choose.
"I don't know," I say honestly. "But I want to see you again."

Two nights later, I pull into the far corner of the AquaZen parking lot, killing the engine and the lights. The lot is empty except for the solitary figure leaning against the back wall, illuminated only by the distant glow of the street lamps. My heart pounds against my ribs as I watch Jacob push off the wall and walk toward my car.
He's wearing dark jeans and a plain black t-shirt that stretches across his chest. Even in the dim light, I can see the intensity in his eyes. My phone sits in the cup holder, the screen still displaying our text exchange from earlier today.
*Meet me. 11pm. Back lot.*
His reply had been immediate: *I'll be there.*
I unlock the passenger door just as he reaches the car. He slides in without a word, bringing with him the crisp scent of night air and something deeper, masculine. For a moment, we just stare at each other, the silence electric.
Then his hand is on the back of my neck, pulling me toward him. Our mouths meet with bruising force. His tongue pushes past my lips, demanding entrance. I moan into his mouth, my body instantly responsive.
"I've been thinking about this all day," he murmurs against my lips.
Before I can respond, he's reaching for me, grabbing my waist and pulling me across the center console. The gearshift digs into my thigh, but I barely notice as he maneuvers me onto his lap. His hands push up my skirt, bunching it around my waist.
"Fuck, you're not wearing anything underneath," he growls, his fingers finding me already wet and ready.
"I didn't see the point," I gasp as his thumb circles my clit.
The confines of the car make everything more urgent, more immediate. There's no space to think, only to feel. Jacob's hands are everywhere—kneading my breasts through my thin blouse, sliding down my back, gripping my ass as he grinds me against his hardening cock.
Suddenly, he's shifting me off his lap.
"I need to taste you," he says, his voice rough with desire.
He maneuvers me back into the driver's seat, then kneels awkwardly in the passenger footwell. The sight of him, this young, beautiful man, cramped in my car and desperate to pleasure me, sends a fresh pulse of arousal through me.
Jacob pushes my thighs apart, his strong hands gripping me just above the knees. He lowers his head, and the first touch of his tongue against my pussy makes me cry out. He licks a long, slow stripe from my entrance to my clit, then looks up at me, his eyes gleaming in the darkness.
"You taste even better than I imagined," he says, then dives back in.
His tongue is relentless, alternating between broad strokes and pointed precision. When he slides two fingers inside me, curling them to find that sensitive spot, I nearly come off the seat. My hands find his hair, gripping the thick, dark strands as I rock against his face.
Gone is the passive woman who used to just lie back and think of England. I'm grinding against Jacob's mouth, shamelessly chasing my pleasure, directing him with tugs of his hair and breathless commands.
"Right there... harder... oh god, yes, just like that..."
He moans against me, the vibrations adding to the building pressure. His free hand moves to the bulge in his jeans, rubbing himself through the denim as he devours me.
When I feel the familiar tightening in my core, the trembling in my thighs that signals I'm close, I pull away. Jacob looks up, confusion and desire warring on his face.
"I want to feel you inside me when I cum," I tell him, surprising myself with my boldness.
His eyes darken with lust. He fumbles with his belt, then the button of his jeans. I help him push them down just enough to free his cock, thick and hard and already leaking at the tip.
I climb back onto his lap, straddling him in the passenger seat. The position is cramped, my head brushing the roof of the car, but I don't care. All I want is him inside me.
I position myself over him, then sink down slowly, taking him inch by inch. We both groan as I bottom out, his cock filling me completely.
"Fuck, you feel amazing," he breathes, his hands gripping my hips.
I begin to move, riding him with increasing urgency. The car feels impossibly hot, the windows fogging with our breath and the heat of our bodies. The leather seat creaks beneath us, and the whole car rocks slightly with our movements.
Jacob's hands leave my hips, sliding up to cup my breasts. He pushes my blouse up, tugging down my bra to expose my nipples. When he pinches one gently between his thumb and forefinger, I clench around him, making us both gasp.
"That's it," he encourages, "show me how much you love my cock."
His words send a fresh surge of arousal through me. I've never been talked to like this during sex, never had a partner who seemed to genuinely delight in my pleasure.
I ride him faster, chasing the orgasm that's building rapidly. Jacob's hands return to my hips, helping me move, lifting me slightly so he can thrust up into me. The new angle has him hitting that perfect spot with each thrust.
"Jacob," I pant, "I'm going to cum..."
"Yes," he groans, his fingers digging into my flesh. "Cum on my cock, Samantha. Let me feel you."
The combination of his words, his cock filling me, and the forbidden thrill of what we're doing pushes me over the edge. My orgasm crashes through me, my pussy clenching rhythmically around him as wave after wave of pleasure radiates outward. I cry out his name, my nails digging into his shoulders through his t-shirt.
My climax triggers his. With a strangled groan, Jacob thrusts up into me one final time, his cock pulsing as he cums deep inside me. I feel each hot spurt, and the sensation almost triggers a second orgasm.
We collapse against each other, both of us breathing hard. My head rests on his shoulder, his arms wrapped around my waist. Our bodies are slick with sweat, my thighs trembling from exertion and aftershocks of pleasure.
The windows of the car are completely fogged over, creating a private world for just the two of us. As our breathing slows, I become aware of the uncomfortable position, the sticky evidence of our encounter, and the growing weight of what we've done.
I lift my head to look at Jacob. In the dim light filtering through the foggy windows, his face is soft, open in a way I've never seen before. The cold, judgmental mask is gone. This is a different Jacob than the one who watches me with stoic intensity at the pool.
A question forms in my mind, pushing past the physical satisfaction to something deeper, something neither of us has acknowledged.
