My plan in place, I set out to Frost dressed only in thigh high stockings with lace trim, my red pumps, new steaming-hot lingerie and a trench coat. I’ve done all I need to get ready for this occasion. My makeup is subtle but sexy, I smell fresh as a daisy and I am hair-free where I need to be.

I’m ready.

I giggle to myself.

This is so naughty!

Today was our six-month anniversary, our two-month wedding anniversary and even though we’ve never celebrated anything big before, I’ve decided to bring the party to Bastien. Even if it’ll only be for an hour of mind-blowing sex.

Is there anything better than sharing a perfect celebration with the person you love most in the world?

I think not.

Tina helped me set the whole thing up. Who knew she had it in her to be a saucy little wench?

I thought I was bad, but apparently Tina has been known to call emergency meetings with her husband, Nik, at his office.

The emergency being that Tina is horny.

She’s become such a good friend. I’m so glad to know her better.

I woke this morning to a brand new platinum diamond bracelet on my wrist. It had one pendant attached. A simple love heart with a ruby on one side and a sapphire on the other.

Bastien doesn’t do cards. He never has. But with a gift like that, who needs a card?

I knew what it meant.

We were two halves of a whole. And nothing could make me happier.

Maybe one day I’d add a diamond at the bottom of that pendant.

It’s no secret that I want children. I want enough to have my own soccer team. I love kids and from seeing Bastien interact with his nieces and nephews, he loves them just as much as I do.

I stopped taking birth control a month ago. My doctor told me getting pregnant is easy for some but with others can take months. I’m in no rush. I’m happy to wait. Sure, I’m helping the process by jumping Bastien every spare chance I get, but other than that, I’m happy to let nature take its course.

The taxi drops me off right outside the club and as I step out, more of my thigh shows than I’m used to. I smirk, feeling sexy as hell when a club bystander whistles at me.

An ego boost I needed. Thank you, kind sir!

Stu spots me and I kiss his cheek. He smiles down at me, “Hey cuz. He’s on a break. Happy anniversary, Em.”

“Thanks, Stu. You’re sweet.”

Just as I walk inside, Stu takes my hand, stopping me. “You know, I’m really glad you ended up being on the list.”

My smile softens. “Me too, Stu. Me too.”

I make my way inside, hiding in a corner. I pull out my cell to text Tina who couldn’t be here tonight but is instead at the club she and Nik own downtown, The White Rabbit.

Me: I’m freaking out, dude!

Tina: Relax, Max! You’re offering yourself up on a platter to a man who loves you. You’re going to be fine!

She is not wrong. Bastien does love me. And he loves freaky time with me.

What am I worried about?

Me: Okay. You’re right. I’m going in! Wish me luck x

I laugh at her response.

Tina: Luck!!! Knock his penis dead! X

Everything is going to plan. Bastien is on a break, now I just have to find him. I approach the bar to find my favourite bar bitch there, a young, tattooed Asian woman named Lana. I wave enthusiastically and she motions me over. “Happy anniversary, Em. He’s in the first bunk. I’m sure it’ll be locked so I asked Tina to get me this.” She pulls out a key and hands it to me.

I look up at her in awe. “You’re amazing. Like a female, Asian double-oh-seven.”

She tilts her head, brows bunched. “Surprising as hell but it’s not the first time I’ve been called that.”

“You’re awesome, lady. Thank you so much. I don’t think I could’ve done this without all your help.”

She smiles softly. “You’re welcome. It’s nice to see Bastien smile.”

I wave as I walk over to the ‘staff only’ side doors. I’ve been in the back many a time, whether it was just to see my man or to have a short break from the blaring music when I’ve had a headache. Thankfully, I know where the first bunk is. The bunks are rooms that aren’t really rooms at all. They’re the size of a small walk-in closet.

The first bunk is a rest area with a cot in it. The second bunk an almost identical rest area with a TV inside.

As I approach the first bunk, I slowly test the handle and just as Lana predicted, the door is locked. Stepping back, I take in a deep breath, calming myself in order to seduce my husband.

I’m ready.

Sliding the key in, I unlock the door, step in and close the door behind me. “Happy Anniversary, baby.”

I slide the trench coat down my back and onto the floor.

When I lift my head, my breath leaves me in a whoosh.

There stands Bastien, wide eyes on me, mouth attached to another man’s neck.

This can’t be what it looks like. Surely there’s an explanation for this.

I blink. Bastien has still to remove his mouth from the unknown man’s neck. I blink some more. “You- are you- I don’t understand. You-” My voice weakens to a hush. “You like men?”

With eyes so green they near glow, he finally detaches himself from the man, panting. “Em, baby, what are you doing here?”

The man my husband is cheating on me with simply stands there, looking like a droid. I look into his empty eyes but answer my husband. “I came to surprise you with dirty anniversary sex. I don’t understand, Bastien. I thought we were happy.”

He steps around the man and moves closer to me. “We are happy. I’m happy. I had no idea you were coming here.” His eyes flash as he fixates on my barely there lingerie. He swallows hard, “Jesus, Em. You’re fucking gorgeous.”

The bridge of my nose tingles. I lean down to pick up my coat, wrapping it around me. A single tear falls down my cheek. “How long has this been going on?”

He takes a step closer, reaching out for me. “I swear this is not what it looked like. I can explain.”

I look into his eyes. He doesn’t look embarrassed or caught out, just tired. Bastien has never given me a reason to question him before. Why should I start now?

“Okay, so explain.” The unknown man still unmoved, I ask quietly, “Is he okay?”

Bastien looks back. “Shit. Hold on, babe. Let me take care of him.”

Take care of him?

I rush forward, grip his shirt and whisper hiss, “You are not going to kill him!”

Bastien rolls his eyes at me before turning to the man, looking into his eyes and speaking in a firm but neutral tone. “You were a great help.”

The man responds a robotic. “I was a great help.”

Bastien tells him, “You should go home and get some rest.”

The man nods slowly. “I should go home and get some rest.”

Bastien helps the man to the door, uttering his agreement. “You should, man. Thank you.”

The man responds. “You’re welcome,” then putters down the hall and out of sight.

Looking around, Bastien closes the door behind him, locking it and leaning against it. “Shit, Em, I’m sorry. I ruined our anniversary.”

Why isn’t he acting like he’s done something wrong? What the heck is going on?

He steps forward, directly under the down light. “I’ve been meaning to tell you. I have. But I-”

Red at the corner of his lip has me stepping forward. “Honey, you’re bleeding.”

Bastien swipes at his lips, looking down at the blood smeared across his fingers. He looks me in the eye before responding carefully. “It’s not mine.”

Confusion mars my face. “Were you-” I shake my head. “Did you bite him?”

He swallows hard then looks away. He shrugs lightly. “A man’s gotta eat.”

I force a harsh laugh at the statement. “That’s crazy! What are you saying? That you’re a vampire or something?”

I expect him to laugh and deny it. I expect him to react. But he does nothing. Just stares at me with an expression I’ve never seen Bastien wear.
