It wasn’t supposed to happen. I never intended for things to go that far. But now, as I sit here replaying everything in my mind, I can’t help but feel the rush of excitement all over again—the thrill of something so forbidden, so reckless, that it still sends chills through my body.

It started innocently enough. My husband was away for business, like he often is, leaving me alone for the weekend. I had no plans, just a quiet night in mind, maybe some wine and a good book. But then, I heard the music from the neighborhood club drifting through the window, loud enough to stir a sense of restlessness inside me. Without thinking too much, I decided to go. I needed a distraction—something to shake up the monotony of the evening.

When I walked into the dimly lit club, the band was already playing, and the crowd seemed lost in the music. The guitarist immediately caught my eye—he was magnetic, effortlessly cool, with a look of confidence that made it hard to look away. I could feel his energy from across the room, and I wasn’t the only one. Women in the audience were leaning in, hanging on to every note he played, every smile he flashed their way. But when his eyes landed on me, it felt different.

I tried to tell myself it was nothing. Just the excitement of live music, a few drinks, and the buzz of the night. But there was something undeniable about the way he looked at me—intense, knowing, like he could sense the loneliness I had been carrying for too long.

After the set, I stayed longer than I had planned. I don’t know why. Part of me was already caught in the pull of his presence. I watched as he packed up his guitar, lingering at the bar, hoping he wouldn’t notice me but also silently wishing he would. And then, as if reading my mind, he came over.

Our conversation was light at first—small talk, casual compliments—but the air between us was thick with unspoken tension. Every glance, every smile felt like a challenge, a temptation. The way he stood so close, his hand casually brushing against mine, sent sparks through me. I knew I should’ve walked away right then, but I didn’t.

Before I knew it, we were walking out of the club together, the night air cool against my skin but doing nothing to quell the heat building inside me. He invited me back to his place, and I hesitated for a second. The rational part of my brain screamed at me to stop, to remember that this wasn’t right. But the thrill of it all—the excitement of doing something so dangerous, so out of character—was overwhelming. I couldn’t say no.

When we got to his place, everything happened so fast, but it was so perfect. The way his hands explored my body, the raw passion in every kiss, every touch—it was like nothing I had ever experienced before. It wasn’t love, it wasn’t even affection; it was pure, unfiltered desire. And in that moment, it felt like the best thing in the world.

I wasn’t thinking about my husband, or the consequences, or what this meant for my marriage. All I could think about was the way my body responded to his, the way he made me feel—alive, free, wild. I didn’t realize how much I had been craving that feeling until I was in the middle of it, completely lost in the moment.

Now, as I sit here, the memories of that night flood my mind. I can still feel the electricity of his touch, the way his fingers traced my skin, the way he whispered in my ear. The guilt hasn’t fully set in yet. Maybe it will later, but right now, all I can think about is how alive I felt in that moment. How, for the first time in a long time, I wasn’t the woman waiting at home, the one always trying to be perfect, the dutiful wife.

I know it’s not a good idea to keep thinking about it, to let my mind wander back to that night. I know it could ruin everything. But a part of me can’t help but feel exhilarated by the memory—the rush of breaking the rules, of doing something so completely reckless and selfish. It’s like an addiction now, creeping into my thoughts when I least expect it, reminding me of what it felt like to let go completely.

I didn’t mean to do it. I didn’t plan on it, and I know I probably shouldn’t have. But I did. And now, I can’t stop thinking about it.
