His briefcase hit the floor in a thump and then he stalked toward me unbuttoning his suit jacket and tossing it wherever it landed.
I picked up the glass and held it out for him, “How was your day, darling?” I asked.
He took the martini, and while sipping it, his pupils flared with raw hunger. “Much better now,” he said over the rim.
I stepped closer and unzipped his pants, shoving them down quickly so I could free his erection that was most definitely trapped in his boxers. “I missed you today,” I purred. “and I thought I’d show you just how much.”
His gaze smoldered as he watched me. “Jesus, baby, this is my fantasy.”
Kicking my shoes off, I dropped to my knees. He’d said he wanted me barefoot and naked, after all. “Oh, darling, I know. I’ve been making mental notes of them all. And tonight, I intend to gift you with every single one,” I told him, looking up into his eyes.
These weren’t the day to day things we had navigated through as a couple. His need for control. My willingness to give it to him. Those had been mastered.
These were different. They were a list of sexual fantasies that was quite long, then again so was the night.

Where had this woman come from?
I still couldn’t believe she was mine. The start had been rough, but we had worked hard to get to where we were. What we had was something I cherished—love, passion, respect, and admiration.
I looked down at my wife.
She flicked out her tongue and licked her lips.
“You drive me crazy,” I breathed.
“Good,” she said licking her lips once again.
Oh fuck, this was really happening. And so I let the fantasy begin. I took my straining erection in my hand and jutted it forward. “Suck it,” I growled.
I hissed in reaction to the light flicks of her tongue, and then I took another sip of my martini as she did as she was told.
The dutiful wife.
It would be one night of her submitting to my every whim, but it would be a lifetime of love. I’d come to learn that marriage wasn’t endless pussy. It was love, affection, respect, and hard work, and that endless pussy was just a bene. A great bene at that.
I slid my free hand in her hair and leaned into her. Fuck, but no one ever made me feel the way she did.
As I sank deeper into her luscious mouth, ready to do all kinds of dirty things to her, I couldn’t help but remember the first time I saw her. Right then I had to have her. She’d walked into that club and my whole world changed. Somehow I knew she belonged with me, before I even knew her.
And the hell of it was…
I wasn’t wrong.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:
Kim Karr is a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author.
She grew up in Rochester, New York, and now lives in Florida with her husband and four kids. She’s always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, she wanted to teach at the college level, but that was not to be. She went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise her family. Kim currently works part-time with her husband and recently decided to embrace one of her biggest passions—writing.
Kim wears a lot of hats: writer, book-lover, wife, soccer mom, taxi driver, and the all-around go-to person of her family. However, she always finds time to read. One of her favorite family outings when her kids were little was taking them to the bookstore or the library. Today, Kim’s oldest child is twenty-one and no longer goes with her on these now rare and infrequent outings. She finds that she doesn’t need to go on them anymore because she has the greatest device ever invented—a Kindle.
Kim likes to believe in soul mates, kindred spirits, true friends, and happily-ever-afters. She loves to drink champagne and listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.
