My husband doesn't love me

Jimena woke up with dark circles under her eyes. Even though the baby was already six months old, there were nights when he wouldn’t let her sleep, and this had been one of those nights. By the time she got up, Pablo had already left for work, so she began her morning workout routine.

She had been putting in a lot of effort lately, especially since she’d gained quite a bit of weight during her pregnancy. However, she was regaining her figure without much trouble, as she had always been disciplined about her exercise.

In front of the mirror, Jimena studied her pale skin, noticing how her blue eyes seemed lost amidst the dark circles, a clear sign of exhaustion and sleeplessness. But the dark circles weren’t just from lack of sleep—she had cried again the night before. She remembered when Pablo had kissed her for the first time that summer, the moment their love story had begun.

They had been in the middle of a forest, playing a silly paintball game. She drifted into the memories...

“Hey, beautiful,” Pablo said, approaching her, trying to intimidate her. She stood tall, studying his every move.“Are you planning to shoot me?” he asked, stepping in front of her weapon.“What are you doing?” she asked nervously, seeing her gun pressed against his chest.“Why don’t we play a different game?” He dropped his weapon, then took hers and tossed it to the ground.“What do you think you’re doing, Pablo Mars?” she demanded, her voice trembling.“I just can’t wait for our date tomorrow,” he said, surprising her. With that, he pressed his lips to hers.The kiss was slow and tender, but still, Jimena felt like she was losing her breath. She’d kissed other guys before, but never had she felt anything that sent shivers through her like this.

Immersed in the pleasure that the delicious lips gave her, she gripped his neck, her fingers tightening passionately to intensify the kiss, to which he responded by grabbing her waist. The union of their mouths became more intense and the desire caused an exciting tingling on their skin.

Paul attacked her neck, at the same time hitting her against a nearby tree, then he began to caress her more boldly and bit her earlobe. He clung to the girl’s mouth fiercely and kissed her neck again. Jimena felt like she would lose her breath at any moment, due to the savagery and hunger with which he was kissing her.

“Don’t you think we’re moving a little too fast?” she said, pulling away slightly, her gaze lingering on his deep brown eyes.“Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.” He smiled, his voice low and teasing. “But just so you know, we’ve got a date tomorrow, and... well, there’s a good chance I might push things a bit.” He whispered the last part near her neck, his breath sending a shiver through her as it brushed her skin. “So it’s up to you—whether you’re ready to take the challenge or not.” He gave her a wicked smile before turning and disappearing between the trees.

Pablo was sitting behind his desk, reviewing some papers, when his new assistant walked in. He had left the task of finding her replacement for his previous employee, trusting that no one knew better who would be the right person for the job than she did.

And she chose wisely.

The young woman was very disciplined and excellent at her work. In addition to her solid resume, she had experience and adapted quickly, learning on the fly. The only problem was her exotic beauty and the natural sensuality she radiated. To make matters worse, the girl seemed to be showing an interest that went beyond the professional, making subtle hints. As if that weren’t enough, his relationship with Jimena wasn’t going well.

He looked his assistant up and down in a daze. She was wearing a tight gray mini-skirt, inside of which she wore a white shirt that revealed part of her large cleavage.

The girl possessed the most beautiful dark mixed-race skin he had ever seen, which contrasted with her gray eyes, whose crystalline shine gave them a singular and very attractive appearance. Her black, straight, and abundant hair was usually loose and covered her arms since it was very long. She had a tiny waist and a wide, well-defined hip. Her legs were long and beautiful. Her small and full lips, and those thick eyelashes that he still didn’t know if they were natural. What to say about her breasts, he also doubted they were what nature gave them.

But there was something about her that unraveled him, something that made him nervous. He knew it was wrong, that he shouldn’t allow himself to tremble when he heard that sensual voice, or when he saw that smile that seemed to invite him to sin.

Although his relationship with Jimena wasn’t what it used to be, she was still his wife and the mother of his child. He couldn’t go that far.

His assistant approached seductively and handed him some documents, purposely brushing her hand against his. He looked at her indifferently, trying to mask his desire. The girl left a bit disappointed, while he was left disturbed, not knowing how long he could resist that beautiful temptation.
