Prologue

Lucy

There were a ht I would never see or do Space? I was a secretary, not an astronaut President of the United States? My career trajectory didn’t go that high I couldn’t even go a single day without using my hands to count It was a bad habit I was scolded for when I was a child but never ed to overcome it

Those were reasonable expectations and limitations

It was just life It was hoas Logical, just like me

What I never thought I’d see— soical— wasanother woman in his arms

In My Bed

The sae He didn’t even seetake-out inhim fuck her in a way he never fuckedinto her like he wasn’t worried about causing her pain My eyes were glued to him, unable to look away from the scene in front of me It was like a car wreck I knew I should look away, but the shock made me wonder if what I saas real

The girl was a brunette, of course He always e ether I never thought it was a deal breaker

Our bed s like wild ani at it for a while now Why did I notice that? It was the last thing I should have been focused on

“Fuck yeah, you like that, bitch?” He sneered at her, and I flinched because I never wanted to be spoken to like that

She seemed to love it because she leaned up on her forearms and bit his lips

“Yes, Daddy Just like that Harder More!” She groaned like she was in the middle of a porn movie Her pleasure didn’t even sound real
