She wants to see him later

*Henry won't be home until Friday. Come over tonight after the kids are asleep. I'll be waiting for you.*

She then held up her phone, smiling seductively at the camera as she snapped a quick photo of herself, making sure the marks he'd left on her neck were visible.

Her heart pounded as she hit send, the enormity of what she was doing sinking in. But even as guilt gnawed at her, she couldn't deny the thrill that coursed through her veins at the prospect of another clandestine encounter with Seth. As Amanda sent the provocative text to Seth, a rush of adrenaline surged through her body, her pulse quickening with anticipation. She knew she was treading on dangerous ground, but the thrill of the forbidden was too intoxicating to resist. With trembling hands, she set down her phone and poured herself another glass of wine, needing the liquid courage to calm her nerves.

The hours ticked by agonizingly slowly as Amanda went through the motions of putting the children to bed and tidying up the house. All the while, her mind was consumed with thoughts of Seth and the sensual pleasures he would bring. As she finally heard the soft knock at the back door, Amanda's heart leapt into her throat. She quickly checked herself in the mirror one last time, making sure her appearance was perfect, before padding barefoot to the kitchen. The knock at the door seemed to echo through the quiet house, and Amanda's heart raced in anticipation as she moved to answer it. As she turned the knob, she found herself face to face with Seth, his tall frame filling the doorway. His eyes raked over her body, taking in the loose, flowing skirt and t-shirt that clung to her curves in all the right places. Amanda felt a shiver run down her spine under his intense gaze, and she stepped back to let him enter.

"Hey there, neighbor," Seth greeted her with a smirk, his voice low and full of promise.

"Hi Seth," Amanda replied breathlessly, her cheeks flushing under his heated stare. She stepped aside to let him in, hyper-aware of the sexual tension crackling between them. As Seth brushed past her, his arm grazing the swell of her breast, Amanda shivered with desire.

"I hope I'm not interrupting anything. I got your text. Seems like you've been thinking about me." Seth noted with a smile as Amanda closed the door softly behind him. Amanda's breath caught in her throat as Seth's words hung in the air, his deep, husky voice sending shivers down her body. She turned to face him, her heart pounding so loudly she was sure he could hear it. "No, you're not interrupting at all. I've been waiting for you."

Seth's eyes darkened as he took a step closer, his tall frame towering above Amanda. He reached out, his strong hand cupping her cheek as he leaned down, his lips brushing against her ear. "Is that so? And what exactly have you been waiting for, Mrs. Reynolds?"
