I swallow.

BrokenBee

I want you to chase me. Scare me. Hurt me

BrokenBee

Fuck me

BlackHearted1

I play rough, BrokenBee

BrokenBee

Good

BlackHearted1

Your safe word will be ORANGE. When are you available tonight

I close my eyes, my heart wrenching.

What the fuck am I doing?

I take a shaky breath and start to type “this was a mistake, sorry” to my new match. But then I switch to my texts, bring up the thread with Kratos, and text him.

Me

Are we exclusive

Only a few seconds later, he responds.

Kratos

What?

Me

Like, monogamous

Kratos

You’re my fucking wife.

I shiver as I re-read that a few times, feeling the pulse of something hot in my core. But I refuse to allow myself to get pulled under his dark waves that blind me to the obvious. Not anymore.

Me

What does that mean to you

Kratos

It means you’re my wife.

Me

But does that MATTER to you
