When Temptation Struck at Coreen’s Party

I’ve been so bored hunting for jobs that I welcomed the invitation to Coreen and Cephas’s anniversary party—even if I’m wary of her husband’s business ambitions. When I learn Rajesh Sharma will be there, excitement and guilt churn inside me. That night I dress to the nines, but William’s work call pulls him away almost immediately. Left alone, I sip my wine and size up the party—Cephas boasting about his new hotel, Coreen beaming beside him, and me itching for something more. Rajesh reappears with Scotch and leads me into a guest room. One heated kiss turns into an affair I never saw coming. His demands thrill me and push every boundary I thought I had. Back home with William, I lie in bed torn between the rush of forbidden desire and the comfort of our marriage. I know I shouldn’t—but I can’t help wondering if I’ll ever resist calling Rajesh again.
