“Hush now, pet”
You’d said it to me countless times before. To watch me squirm and hold it in. As a reminder that the neighbors might hear.
Never before had it been a command.
Now, with the stakes higher than ever, I didn’t dare play the brat. If we were caught, we faced far more than your wife finding out you’ve been fucking a college girl for the better part of the year. No, these were real consequences. Real, serious, *legal* consequences.
Because just one wall away, in the front hall of the poorly insulated house, your wife was handing out candy to trick or treaters.
*Children.*
And while they wouldn’t be able to insinuate what we were doing from a moan or gasp or rattle of the headboard, their parents sure could. Parents who did *not* want their children exposed to perverts on what should be an innocent holiday.
So yes, I did hush. Put all the concentration my little sex-addled brain could into it.
But you sure weren’t making it easy on me.
