“You’re not going out today,” I say to her before heading to the fridge to get some food. I turn to see her looking angrily at me.

“And Osei wants you to call him back.” She gets up, places her plate in the sink, and turns to say something to me. I face her, waiting for her to speak, while my eyes roam from her breast to her thigh and back up to her face. Whatever she had planned to say stops. She turns and walks away. I admire her ass, too. A small chuckle escapes me at the thought of my wife trying to be defiant.

She can talk to Osei, but she’s not going out today, and he’s not coming over either. Maybe I need to remind him of that as well. My stomach rumbles for food, and that deserves more attention than Osei right now. I finish eating the scrambled eggs and pancakes Dele had prepared for me.

Lily is next,my subconscious reminds me. I’ve avoided her calls all week, but it’s time I set things straight with her. I can’t afford another moment where Dele turns away from me. I take more bites of my food.

“If I’m not going out, you’re not going out either,” she says. She’s back in the kitchen, trying to stare me down.

“That’s fine with me,” I reply, grinning as she grunts and storms off.

I smile, finish my food, and put the plate in the sink. I want to call Lily. Instead, I find myself heading to find my wife. Lily can wait. She’s on the bed, glued to her phone. I get into bed withher. She refuses to look at me. I smile inwardly—only one of us is going to win this silent battle, and it’s going to be me.

“Dele.”

“Not talking to you,” she retorts, still avoiding me.

I roll her on top of me and quickly toss her phone aside before she can fight me for it. She’s underneath me now. I kiss her. At first, she resists, but soon she softens, letting me in. I take over her mouth and her tongue. It’s all mine. She keeps her legs tight together, but my hands slip under her t-shirt to squeeze her breast. She moans. I pull away from the kiss and rip her shirt off, sliding down her body to undress her completely.

My hands yank her shorts off, and she sits up, raising an eyebrow at me. I raise mine back, my finger slipping inside her, stroking the way I know she likes. She gets wetter with every stroke. She smacks her lips in resistance, eyes closing as she fist the sheets in defiance. A soft, caged moan escapes her as her eyes flip open. I smile, and she smirks back at me. My lips take over her nipple as my fingers keep filling her. She fights, but we’re in a battle of wills. I know it’s taking everything in her to hold off while I enjoy every second of working her. She’s drenched, even as she tries to close her legs.

“Fine, you win!” she blurts out. I laugh.

“If you dare stop, this unit can’t contain both of us.” She challenges.

“With a threat like that, I dare not stop,” I tease, taking her mouth and kissing her neck.

“I can’t promise to be gentle. I’ve been deprived for a week.”

“Luke, it was just five days,” she moans.

“My body counts seven, so it’s seven,” I say, pulling my pants down. She stares at me with a raised brow.

“Did you grow bigger in the last five days?”

I chuckle, massaging my girth as I prepare for her.

“That’s where the extra two days come in. You shouldn’t have starved me,” I tease, spreading her legs as I fill her completely. Her warmth encases me, and I groan.

“I’ve missed you,” I whisper.

“Oh God, Luke, she cries out. I wrap her legs around me before taking a nipple in my mouth and begin to move. Her cries fill the room. I increase my speed as she screams my name more. “Don’t stop … Please don’t stop… I’ve missed you so much,” she cries out, closing her eyes.

“L…u…k…e.” Her voice crescendos as her walls tighten around me.

“Eyes on me, Dele,” I say to her. She opens her eyes to look at me. “That’s it, Ayo mi.” Her mouth opens wide with a loud cry, and she lets it all out. I cum right after, letting it all pour in her. It’s potent enough to impregnate her. I fall on top of her, then roll to the side and pull her close to me.

“I missed you, Dele. Don’t shut me out again.”

“I missed you too,” she says, resting her head on my chest. “I didn’t shut you out. I was busy.”

“Liar, just please don’t do it again. I can’t handle you not speaking to me.”

“Okay.”

We spend more time in bed and laugh about funny ER stories she tells me. We order in and decide to watch a movie. Before the movie starts, I pull her to me.

“I have to tell you something important.” She tries to sit up, but I pull her back and, she rests her head on my chest.
