Consequence

She felt no guilt no shame as he climbed off of her.

Just minutes earlier she was in the throws of raw animalistic carnal passion. 

In between screams of ecstasy she glanced down at the shimmering diamond on her left hand, giggled at the thought of the man who placed that diamond on her finger. 

The man now standing above her, admiring his work, was not that man.

That man wasn't half the man of the man above her, in so many ways.

She now caught his steady gaze.

His smile told her he was ready for more. 

She rolled, and again he pleased her right down to her very core.

There were only two things the man who loved her brought to her life that gave her joy. 

Financial stability, and their little boy. 

Their little boy 

He was the only reason for their rushed union. 

She returned home 

Their boy still away at school 

The man who loved her arrival still hours away 

She loathed him

Thought him such a fool 

Her mind wandered back to her earlier rendezvous 

Already planning her next adventure 

Thinking about how often he pleases her 

The man who loved her standing by

The blade in his raised hand brought down 

again again and again 

She fell to the floor with a thud and groan 

Lifeless now covered in crimson 

He'd known 

He'd always known…
