When Seeing Her Lover is a Refuge to Feeling Alive Again.

Enter Chef George. He makes her feel alive, helps her explore her sexuality, and not only accepts, but glorifies the sexy sexual being that she is. How could something that feels this right be wrong? The answer is...it can't be. Enjoy this story of about complicated taboo relationships, sexuality, seeking one's needs, the search for feeling alive again, and the forbidden love of a secret lover.  Entertainment arts can come in the form of an erotic romance short story, providing tales that stretch our minds, help us process life, and give us different perspectives to consider, all through the art of storytelling. This can greatly impact our lives. Takeaways to ponder: Does this story trigger you?  Why? Why not? Do you identify with any of the characters? Why do people cheat? Would you ever decide on trying ethical nonmonogamy in your relationship? Life is messy, complicated, and convoluted, but ignoring your sexuality surely ends in disaster, low quality of life, and unfulfillment. Don't ignore your sexuality/sexual health/sexual wellness, or that of your partner, that's one of the keys to a successful relationship and a happier life.
