Chapter 34: Close Call

Elena had been lying in bed for a while, unable to sleep. Her mind was restless. After what happened with Max and David in the afternoon, she felt a strange mix of satisfaction and unease. She had taken control in a way she never had before, and it excited her more than she wanted to admit.

She picked up her phone and started scrolling through random things, trying to distract herself. After some time, she felt thirsty. Without thinking much, she got out of bed in her nightdress and walked toward the living room to get some water.

Her eyes were still on her phone as she walked into the living room.

She reached for the switch and turned on the light.

At that exact moment, Edward and Ana froze on the couch.

Edward was still inside Ana, both of them half-naked and breathing heavily. They had been so lost in each other that they didn't hear Elena coming. When the lights suddenly turned on, both of them went completely still.

Elena was standing near the switch, still looking at her phone. She hadn't looked up yet.

Edward's eyes widened in panic. He quickly pulled out of Ana and gestured for her to hide. Ana, wide-eyed and terrified, quickly slid down from the couch and hid behind it, pressing herself against the floor as much as possible.

Elena finally looked up from her phone and saw Edward standing there, completely naked.

She blinked in surprise.

"Edward?" she said, confused. "When did you come home?"

Edward's mind was racing. He tried to act normal, even though his heart was beating like crazy.

"Just now," he said, forcing a casual tone. "I just got in a few minutes ago."

Elena nodded, still looking a little surprised. "Oh… I didn't hear you come in."

Edward gave her a small smile, trying to hide his panic. "Yeah, I was trying not to wake you up."

Elena looked at him for a second, then her eyes slowly moved down his body. She noticed he was completely naked.

"Why are you naked?" she asked, raising an eyebrow.

Edward's brain scrambled for an excuse. "Ah… I was feeling really hot," he said quickly. "I just took everything off. I was about to take a shower."

Elena looked at him for a moment, then nodded slowly. "Okay…"

She turned around and started walking toward the kitchen to get water. Edward's heart was still pounding. He glanced toward the couch and saw Ana hiding behind it, looking terrified. He gave her a quick signal with his eyes to stay hidden.

Elena came back from the kitchen with a glass of water. She took a sip and looked at Edward again.

"You came home quite late today," she said casually.

Edward walked toward her, trying to act normal. "Yeah… work was hectic."

Elena was about to say something else when Edward suddenly stepped closer to her. Before she could react, he leaned in and kissed her.

Elena was surprised. Edward hadn't kissed her like this in a long time — with so much urgency. His hands moved to her waist, pulling her closer as he deepened the kiss.

Elena's eyes widened for a second, then slowly closed as she responded to the kiss. She had been feeling neglected for so long that this sudden intensity from Edward caught her off guard.

Edward didn't waste time. He kept kissing her while gently guiding her backward toward their bedroom. Elena was still holding the glass of water, but she didn't resist. She let him lead her.

As they reached the bedroom, Edward closed the door behind them — but he didn't lock it completely. He wanted to make sure Ana had a chance to escape if she wanted to.

He pushed Elena onto the bed and climbed on top of her, kissing her neck and shoulders. Elena was surprised by how eager he was tonight. Usually, their sex was quick and routine. But right now, Edward was touching her like he couldn't get enough.

Elena moaned softly as Edward removed her nightdress and started kissing down her body. She wrapped her arms around him, pulling him closer.

Meanwhile, in the living room, Ana was still hiding behind the couch. She could hear everything — the sounds coming from the bedroom, Elena's soft moans, Edward's heavy breathing.

She should have left.

She knew she should quietly slip out of the house while they were busy. But something stopped her.

Instead of leaving, Ana slowly stood up and moved closer to the bedroom door. She stood just outside, hidden in the dark, and peeked inside through the slightly open door.

What she saw made her freeze.

Edward was on top of Elena on the bed, fucking her with deep, steady thrusts. Elena had her legs wrapped around him, her hands gripping his back as she moaned softly. Her eyes were closed, and she looked like she was genuinely enjoying it.

Ana's heart was racing. She knew she should leave, but she couldn't move. Instead, she stayed there, hidden behind the door, watching them.

Her breathing became heavier. Without even realizing it, her hand slowly moved down between her legs. She was still naked from earlier, and her pussy was still wet from when Edward was fucking her on the couch.

As she watched Edward fuck his wife, Ana's fingers started rubbing her clit. She bit her lip to stay quiet, her eyes fixed on the scene in front of her.

She knew this was wrong. She knew she was playing with fire. But she couldn't stop.

Inside the bedroom, Elena was surprised by how passionate Edward was being tonight. He was kissing her deeply, touching her like he actually wanted her. It had been so long since he had fucked her like this.

She moaned as he thrust deeper, her nails digging into his back.

Edward, on the other hand, was fucking her with a strange mix of guilt and desperation. He was trying to distract her, trying to make sure she didn't go back to the living room and find Ana. But at the same time, a twisted part of him was enjoying this — fucking his wife while his mistress was hiding just outside the door, watching them.

Elena opened her eyes and looked at him.

"You're… very eager tonight," she whispered, her voice breathless.

Edward didn't answer. He just kissed her harder and kept moving inside her.

Elena closed her eyes again, letting herself enjoy the moment. For the first time in a long while, she felt wanted by her husband.

She didn't knew that just outside the door, Ana was touching herself while watching them — her body trembling as she brought herself closer to orgasm.

The night was far from over.

And none of them realized just how dangerous this situation had become.
