Getting to know sarah

The next few weeks became a dangerous balancing act.

I saw Sarah three more times. The tension between us had been building steadily. On the third date she invited me back to my house instead of hers.

We barely made it through the front door.

The moment the door closed Sarah pushed me against the wall and kissed me with raw hunger. Her hands were already unbuttoning my shirt. I lifted her up, her legs wrapping around my waist as I carried her to the bedroom. We fell onto the bed together, clothes coming off in a frantic rush.

She was incredible. Confident, passionate, and surprisingly vocal. I took my time with her, exploring every inch of her body while she moaned my name and dug her nails into my back. When I finally entered her she gasped, pulling me deeper, her hips moving urgently against mine.

We fucked hard and deep for a long time. She came first, trembling beneath me with a loud cry. I followed soon after, burying myself inside her as I finished. Afterward we lay tangled together, breathing heavily, her head resting on my chest.

“You are full of surprises, Alex,” she whispered, tracing a finger across my skin. “I really like you.”

I held her close, feeling a confusing mix of satisfaction and guilt. She had no idea what I had become. What I was doing.

The next morning after she left for work, I stood in my kitchen drinking coffee and staring at my phone. Emily had sent a new message.

Good work last night. We monitored the situation. Sarah is getting very attached. Keep it going. In the meantime, your next real assignment is ready.

Attached was a photo of Rebecca, the fiancée of one of my old coworkers. Pretty, ambitious, stressed. Perfect.

Make her curious. Bring her to the club. We will handle the rest.

I looked around my quiet house. The same house where Abbigail and I had once planned our future. Now it felt like the headquarters of a completely different life.

I replied to Emily with a single word.

Understood.

Then I opened my messages with Sarah and typed:

Last night was amazing. Can’t stop thinking about you.

The game was getting more dangerous by the day.

And I was starting to crave every part of it.
