I never thought I’d question my loyalty to my husband. He’s been my partner, my best friend, the person I’ve built my life with. I never imagined I’d be faced with something that would make me doubt the bond we share. But then there’s my boss—someone I never planned on feeling anything for.

It started innocently enough. We’d exchange work-related conversations, collaborate on projects, and over time, I began to notice how he carried himself. His presence commands attention in a way that’s impossible to ignore. It’s not just about the way he looks or how he speaks; it’s the energy he gives off, a raw magnetism that draws me in. His words seem to linger longer than they should, and the way he looks at me sends a shiver down my spine.

What’s more confusing is how he makes me feel. I’ve always prided myself on being grounded, on knowing who I am and what I want. But with him, there’s something that stirs inside me—something thrilling, almost dangerous, that makes me question if I’ve been missing out on a part of myself.

I’ve never sought this out. I’ve never looked for excitement outside of my marriage. But now, every time I see him or feel that pull between us, I can’t help but wonder what I’ve been missing. What if there’s more to life than the steady love and routine I’ve always known? What if there’s a side of me—wild, passionate, untamed—that I’ve been suppressing without even realizing it?

I’m torn, and I feel guilty for even entertaining these thoughts. But I can’t ignore the way he makes me feel. It’s as though the person I used to be has been awakened, and now I don’t know how to reconcile that with the life I’ve built.
