Chapter 1
Isla stared at her phone, the blue light washing over the freckles dusted across her cheeks. The message was simple: *“Heard you were looking for a good time.”* It was from a profile she hadn’t seen in over a decade—Marcus. Her thumb hovered, a tremor of something long-forgotten—excitement, nerves, pure, unadulterated risk—crawling up her spine.
Her husband, Daniel, was in the living room, the low rumble of his laughter a comforting anchor. He’d been the one to suggest this, to finally turn their bedroom whispers into reality. “You deserve to feel like the fantasy,” he’d said, his bearded face sincere. But her standards were impossibly high, and her history was short. Only a few names, a few memories. The idea of a true stranger felt too vast, too unknown. But Marcus… Marcus was a memory. A very specific, very potent memory.
She’d booked the suite herself, a small act of ownership that made her pulse race. The room was sleek, all cool grays and soft lighting. She stood before the floor-to-ceiling window, the city glittering below, and looked at her reflection. The mother of two, the woman of forty. The curves that had softened, the thighs that were fuller, the breasts that were heavier. She saw the history in her body, and for a fleeting second, shyness threatened to clamp down. Then she remembered Daniel’s hands on her that morning, his worshipful touch, and the playful glint in his eye. *“Go be a Hotwife for a night,”* he’d whispered. *“I’ll be watching.”*
He wasn’t here, not physically. But he’d see the videos. He’d hear the audio. The voyeuristic thread of it all, the shared secret, sent a fresh, liquid heat to her core.
A knock at the door, firm and confident.
She opened it, and there he was. Marcus. Time had been kind, carving him into something even more formidable. His dark skin was a canvas for intricate tattoos that snaked down his powerful arms. That same dimple flashed in his cheek as he smiled, his gaze traveling over her with an appreciative slowness that made her toes curl in the plush carpet.
“Damn, Isla,” he said, his voice a deep, smooth baritone. “You look… incredible.”
Her smart mouth, usually her first line of defense, failed her. A blush crept up her neck. “You don’t look so bad yourself,” she managed, stepping back to let him in.
The door clicked shut, sealing them in the quiet, charged space. He didn’t move to touch her, just stood there, letting the tension build. “Your man knows you’re here?” he asked, already knowing the answer.
“He knows.” The words felt both like a confession and a declaration.
Marcus’s playful, adventurous spirit took over. He circled her, a predator appreciating his prize. “Good. Then he knows what you’re in for.” His hand finally came up, not to grab, but to trace the line of her jaw with his knuckle. “Still shy?”
She met his eyes, the submissive ache in her belly warming into something bolder. “Try me.”
He laughed, the sound rich and warm. In one smooth, dominant motion, he pulled her against him. The hard, undeniable proof of his size pressed against her stomach, exactly as she remembered—long, girthy, a promise of forgotten intensity. Her breath hitched, all the playful sarcasm melting into pure, wanting honesty.
“Ten years,” he murmured against her ear, his full lips brushing her skin. “Let’s see if you remember how to take it.”
From the nightstand, her phone screen glowed, recording. Somewhere across town, Daniel was watching, his own desire a silent participant in the room. Isla surrendered to the moment, to the decadent thrill of being wanted, of being shared, of being, finally, the fantasy.
Chapter 2
His touch was a slow, claiming exploration. Marcus’s large hands slid down from her jaw, over the soft curve of her shoulders, and then around to cup the full swell of her ass through the thin fabric of her dress. His fingers traced the generous line of her hip, then squeezed the plush flesh of her thick thigh.
“God, look at you,” he whispered, his lips brushing her temple as his hands roamed. “All these perfect, soft curves. A real woman’s body.” His voice was a low, appreciative rumble. “The fact you’ve had kids just makes it better. Drives me fucking wild knowing this is all you.”
A shiver, half-shy, half-thrilled, raced through her. His words were a balm, melting the last of her insecurity. He wasn’t just tolerating her shape; he was voracious for it.
“You talk a good game for a man who’s still dressed,” she managed, her smart mouth finding its footing again, even as her breath hitched.
He laughed, the sound dark and pleased. “Is that an invitation, Hotwife?”
Before she could answer, he pulled her flush against him. The hard, undeniable length of him, trapped behind his jeans, pressed insistently against her lower stomach. It was exactly as she remembered—long and thick, a promise of the stretch and fullness she’d craved. A soft, involuntary moan escaped her lips.
“Feel that?” he murmured, grinding against her slowly, making sure she felt every inch. “That’s all for you. Been thinking about this for ten years. About how you’d feel wrapped around me now.”
The crude, hungry words sent a flood of heat between her legs. She arched into him, her own desire a sharp, answering pull. The camera on the nightstand was a silent witness, and the thought of Daniel watching this, seeing her being claimed so thoroughly, ignited something bold and confident within her.
“Prove it,” she breathed, her hands sliding up his tattooed arms. “Show me what ten years of thinking looks like.”
His eyes flashed with dark intent. “Gladly. But we’re doing this my way.” His hands went to the hem of her dress. “These clothes are in the way.”
Chapter 3
“You want this dress gone? Do it yourself,” Isla challenged, her voice a low tremor.
Marcus’s answering grin was all white teeth and dark promise. His hands slid back up her body, finding the zipper at the back of her neck. He tugged it down slowly, the sound loud in the quiet room. The dress pooled at her feet, leaving her in just her lace panties. The cool air kissed her skin, but his hot gaze was what made her shiver.
“Fuck, Isla,” he breathed, his large hands coming to rest on the soft swell of her hips. He walked her backwards until her legs hit the edge of the king-sized bed. “This right here,” he said, squeezing the generous flesh of her thigh, then palming her ass fully. “This body. Knowing it made life? It’s the hottest thing I’ve ever seen.” He leaned in, his lips brushing her ear. “Drives me fucking wild.”
His words melted her. She sank onto the mattress, looking up at him as he stripped off his shirt, revealing more of the intricate tapestry of ink on his dark skin. He knelt on the floor, spreading her thighs with a gentle, firm pressure. His thumbs hooked into the sides of her panties and pulled them down her legs.
“You remember this, don’t you?” he murmured, his eyes locked on hers as his fingers began a slow, teasing circle over her slick folds. “How much you loved my fingers inside you. How you’d shake for me.”
A sharp, wanton gasp tore from her. He was right. Daniel was incredible, attentive, loving—but Marcus’s touch was something else. It was an art he’d mastered, a specific, confident knowledge of her body that bypassed thought and went straight to need. One long finger slipped inside her, then two, curling perfectly.
“Oh, god,” she moaned, her hips lifting off the bed to meet his hand.
“That’s it,” he coaxed, his pace deliberate, stretching her. “Show me how much you missed it. Your husband’s watching, right? Seeing how bad you need this.”
The reminder of Daniel, of the camera, fused with the exquisite pressure of his fingers. Her back arched, her hands fisting in the duvet. “Marcus… please…”
“Please what?” he asked, adding a third finger, the exquisite, filling stretch making her cry out.
“Your cock,” she begged, the words raw and honest. “I need your long, thick cock. Right now.” She managed a shaky, teasing smile, her eyes glazing with lust. “Give Daniel the best show of his life.”
Marcus’s growl of approval vibrated through her. He stood, freeing himself from his jeans. He was magnificent, hard and heavy in his hand, exactly as her body remembered. He loomed over her, the head of his cock pressing against her soaked entrance.
“Tell him,” Marcus commanded, not moving, holding himself there with torturous control.
“Daniel,” Isla panted, turning her head slightly toward the camera’s faint glow, her body trembling on the precipice. “Baby… you should see this. You should see how full he’s about to make me.”
