Maine lit the fuse, and motel sheets kept it burning. He’s married. He’s her friend. They swore it was just heat, nothing deeper. But every stolen look and every too-close touch dares them to break their own rules. Secrets thrum louder than their vows, while friendships crack under the weight of what they’ve done—and keep doing. She whispers, “Don’t save me…destroy me,” and he obeys. Now they’re trapped in a fire that refuses to burn out. Is this the start of ruin, or the ashes where something real might grow? The next trip promises more guests, more secrets, and more sparks ready to explode.

Book 2: Motel Mirrors
“Oh God, right there! Fuck, don’t stop,” Terry gasped, her fingers gripping the luxurious sheets of the Four Seasons Hotel bed like her life depended on it.
Donald didn’t dare slow down. His tongue swirled faster, hungrier, tasting her fully as she arched beneath him.
He relished the way her thighs clenched around his head, her hips bucking against his mouth.
Her breath hitched sharply when he slipped two fingers inside her, curling them just the right way. He knew her now as well as he knew himself—the rhythm she craved, the pressure that unraveled her piece by piece.
“Fuck, Donald, I’m gonna cum,” Terry warned breathlessly, her hand tangling tightly in his hair.
He groaned softly against her, the vibration on her clit sending her spiraling over the edge.
Terry’s moan was raw and primal, her body shuddering violently beneath his touch.
He didn’t stop, savoring the taste and every pulse of her orgasm until she finally collapsed, breathless and trembling.
Slowly, he moved upward, pressing gentle kisses along her quivering belly, tasting the faint sheen of sweat on her skin.
She looked up at him, eyes hazy with satisfaction and lingering heat.
“That was fucking incredible,” Terry murmured, a smile spreading across her flushed face. She reached up, running her fingers down the firm muscles of his chest, biting her lower lip teasingly. “But what about you? Think you can handle more?”
Donald gave a low chuckle, leaning in until his lips hovered just above hers. “We’ve got plenty of time,” he said.
“Good,” she purred softly, capturing his mouth in a deep, lingering kiss. “I taste good, don’t I? Tonight, I want every inch of you.”
Donald didn’t hesitate. He positioned himself carefully, watching Terry’s face closely as he slowly pushed inside her.
She gasped softly, her nails gently digging into his shoulders as she adjusted to his fullness. Her body rose to meet him, hips moving instinctively as they found their rhythm together.
“Fuck, you feel incredible,” Donald murmured, his voice tight with restraint as he moved deeper, each thrust becoming more urgent, driven by mutual hunger.
“Yes, right there, babe. Don’t stop,” Terry whispered, wrapping her legs around him tightly, pulling him even closer, needing him fully.
“I’m not stopping. I love this pussy,” he squeaked out.
The rhythmic sound of their bodies coming together was enhanced by her wetness spreading.
He lost himself in the heat of her, the intensity building quickly, his control slipping. “Fuck, I’m about to cum.”
“Yes, baby, fill me up. Please fill me up.”
With a guttural moan, he finally let go, his body shuddering deeply as he emptied himself into her.
“Yes, I’m cumming again too! Keep pounding, baby.”
Their combined pleasure crashed over them like a wave, leaving them breathless and trembling together.
A brief chuckle filled the air, still thick with sex. Their laughter was intimate, warm—a fleeting illusion of calm before the real world crept back in.
They lay there for a moment, tangled and blissfully unaware of the storm they’d set in motion.
Finally, Donald rolled onto his back, one arm draped behind his head. “Think anyone at the bar recognized us?”
Terry laughed softly, propping herself up on one elbow, eyes gleaming mischievously. “If they did, they’re definitely jealous now.”
Donald smiled, but something in his chest tightened.
The shadows of their past encounters flickered through his mind—Kristal’s sly glances, his uneasy situation with Peter and his huge cock.
Pleasure came easily between him and Terry, but peace? Peace might never come.
Outside, footsteps shuffled softly down the hotel hallway—a quiet murmur, maybe laughter.
Donald and Terry glanced at the door, then back at each other, smiles fading into cautious curiosity.
“Ready to face reality?” Terry asked quietly, her fingers tracing slow, sensual circles on his chest.
Donald drew a slow breath, savoring the last few seconds of intimacy. “Not even a little. But this little roleplay was a nice break.”
“Yeah, it was,” Terry replied, looking down at the floor.

Donald stared at his phone like it had just slapped him.
Kristal
🌞 who’s ready for round 2? Summer house, Outer Banks, July twenty-fourth to thirty-first. No excuses. Bring booze, swimsuits, and better secrets. 😘
He reread it four times. Same winking emoji. Same cocky energy. Same Kristal.
Below it, Terry had already responded.
Terry
Oooooh yesss. I need sun and sin. We’re in.
Well. That settled that.
Donald sighed and dropped the phone on the counter. Right next to it sat an unopened white bottle with shiny metallic labeling.
“Alpha Virility XL—For the Man You’re Becoming.”
It looked ridiculous sitting next to his clean protein shaker and the half-eaten banana he’d forgotten to finish after his morning workout.
He twisted the cap, stared into the bottle like it held answers, then sealed it again with a sigh.
Five months.
That’s how long it had been since the Maine trip, since the mountain cabin, the hot tub, and the moaning through the goddamn walls.
He still couldn’t hear the words lift ticket without feeling small.
Donald ran a hand down his face. He wasn’t the same guy he was back then. Literally. Thirty pounds lighter, five days a week in the gym, meal prepping like a bro in a shaker commercial.
He even shaved his chest once, then scratched himself raw and swore never again.
The effort wasn’t just about looking better. It was about not feeling like the punchline of someone else’s fantasy. Mainly, his wife’s fantasy.
Terry hadn’t really said a thing about his transformation. She noticed, and sure, she’d said some vague things like “you look leaner” in the middle of folding laundry.
But it wasn’t the way he needed her to notice.
He glanced at the toaster’s reflection. Jawline? Visible. Neck? Present. Arms? Not bad, if he flexed just right.
Still, something was missing. Maybe it was size. Maybe it was swagger. Maybe it was just confidence, and the pills promised to manufacture that too.
“You gonna keep modeling or clean the damn blender?” Terry’s voice broke his spiral.
He turned around. She walked in, fresh from her run, glowing, dewy, beautiful in that effortless way that made him simultaneously proud and panicked.
Her sports bra clung to her curves. Her dark curls were damp and pulled into a loose ponytail. Even her sweat looked sexy to him.
“Sorry,” he said, grabbing the blender like it had committed a crime. “Just reading Kristal’s message. So, Outer Banks, huh? Think it’s a good idea?”
“Yep.” Terry’s answer was simple as she opened the fridge, grabbed a bottle of water, and leaned against the door like a scene from a wellness ad. “Should be fun. Beach this time. Change of scenery.”
Then she smiled a little too brightly for Donald’s liking. “Maybe this trip won’t be so…intense,” she added.
Donald forced a grin. “Right. Fun in the sun. Group therapy with sunscreen.”
Terry rolled her eyes. “We’re all adults. So, don’t worry.”
Donald didn’t respond.
As Terry moved past him, her fingers traced the curve of his back, gentle and familiar. Not icy. Not thrilling. Just warm.
Their roleplay hadn’t lit the spark they were chasing. Instead, it left a soft burn, like coals that never quite caught fire.
Once she disappeared into the bathroom, he stared at the counter again. His phone buzzed.
Kristal
BTW I invited two extras this time 😏 You’ll love them. Going to be epic. Promise.
Two extras? He narrowed his eyes. Kristal didn’t promise anything unless she was stirring the pot.
He had a feeling she’d been shaking the whole damn spice rack.
Donald picked up the supplement bottle again, and the label practically winked at him.
He muttered the caption. “Enhance your confidence. Dominate your desire. Dominate my damn bills.” He smiled, then unscrewed the cap.
The garage gym wasn’t fancy, but it was his. Adjustable bench. A full rack. Dumbbells. A punching bag that hadn’t been used in weeks, but it made him feel badass just having it hang there.
Donald threw on some music—old-school hip-hop—and started his warm-up. Push-ups, pull-ups, and some light curls to the rhythm helped slow his thoughts.
He used to be proud of his body. Not because it was perfect, but because it got shit done. However, Maine had shaken that.
Peter’s body. Peter’s confidence. Peter’s everything.
Even now, Donald couldn’t forget Terry watching Peter fix that damn heat lamp. Her eyes had drifted and stayed. He’d noticed. And done nothing.
That’s what stung. Not her looking—he got it, Peter was a walking thirst trap. It was the silence afterward.
The unspoken parts. The way Terry had never brought it up.
That, and Kristal’s noises through the walls.
Donald grunted mid-rep, forcing the weights up like he could bench press the memory away.
After his workout, Donald sat at the kitchen table with a towel over his shoulders, staring out the window. Terry was outside now, watering the plants.
Her tank top clung to her back, and he let himself admire her for a moment. She was still the woman he’d fallen for. Still smart, sexy, sarcastic in all the right ways.
But they hadn’t been in sync in weeks, months.
Hell, maybe longer.
The Maine trip had just exposed the cracks that were already there. Like a spotlight on the things they didn’t say.
About attraction. About curiosity. About how comfortable they’d gotten—and not in the sexy way, but the lazy way.
His phone buzzed again.
This time, a private message.
Kristal
BTW bring swim trunks that actually fit this time. 😏 Beach bodies are coming for blood lol.
Donald stared at the screen. Was that flirting? Friendly banter? Or was she hinting at what hadn’t happened in Maine?
Back at the cabin, there was a moment between them. In the kitchen, alone, too many drinks. She’d leaned close and whispered something about seeing potential. He’d laughed it off, but she hadn’t.
Maybe it was time he stopped laughing everything off.
***
Later that night, Terry stood in front of the bedroom mirror, trying on a swimsuit. She twisted left, then right, admiring the cut. Donald watched from the bed, quietly.
“That new?” he asked.
“Yeah. Figured I’d go bold for the beach.” She smiled, but not at him.
“You look amazing in it,” he said. Soft, sincere.
She paused. “Thanks.” No follow-up. No compliment back. Just “thanks.”
She turned back to the mirror. Donald stood up, walked behind her, and wrapped his arms around her waist. He kissed her shoulder.
She didn’t pull away, but she didn’t melt either.
He whispered, “You ever think about that night? The last trip?”
Terry stiffened just slightly. “You mean the orgasm symphony next door?”
He chuckled. “Yeah. That. All of it. How…crazy it got.”
She met his eyes in the mirror. “It was a moment. We’re past it.”
“Are we?” he asked.
She held his gaze. “Do you want to go down that road again?”
“I’m not sure we ever left it.”
She turned around, placing a hand on his chest. “I love you, Donald. That hasn’t changed.”
“I know,” he said.
But something had shifted. That love they had didn’t look the same.
That night, they lay in bed facing opposite directions. Donald stared at the door, wide awake, while Terry’s breathing settled into rhythm.
He reached for his phone. Another message from Kristal had come in hours ago, but he hadn’t seen it.
Kristal
It’s Nia and Julian that’s coming. Not much of a surprise I know, but they couldn’t come last time. Trust me. This trip’s gonna be different.”
Donald read it twice. Then again.
And again.
Something told him different didn’t mean easier.
Terry shifted in her sleep beside him. Donald listened to the slow rhythm of her breath, the soft rasp of the ceiling fan stirring air above them.
Their bedroom smelled faintly of lemongrass and fabric softener—clean, cozy, and quiet. Too quiet.
He checked his phone again.
Midnight.
He rolled onto his back, stared at the ceiling, and whispered, “What am I doing wrong?”
The silence didn’t answer.
There was a time when Terry would have turned into him in her sleep. She used to rest her leg over his, tuck her foot under his calf like a secret.
Now she stayed on her side, distant but not angry—just…separate.
They hadn’t fought. That was the weird part. If they’d screamed at each other, it might’ve been easier. Instead, they’d drifted, silently, like boats tied to different docks.
His phone buzzed one more time—an Instagram notification. @NiaJKnowsBest tagged you in a story.
He blinked. What the hell does she want?
He tapped it open. A quick selfie video: Kristal and Nia clinking glasses at some outdoor rooftop lounge.
Nia, presumably, was laughing with her phone held high, while Kristal mouthed something to the camera. “The boys aren’t ready,” she lip-synced dramatically. “Not even close.”
The clip ended with Kristal biting her lip and Nia winking.
Donald sat up.
“Well. Okay then.”
He clicked on Nia’s profile to look at more of her recent pictures. One photo was of her in a gold bikini that did not leave anything to the imagination. He briefly read over Nia’s profile—a fashion publicist from Brooklyn.
He glanced at a few pictures. There were several of her and Terry and Kristal.
Donald shut the app quickly, suddenly feeling warm. Not because he was interested in Terry’s friend, at least not entirely, but because he knew how this game worked.
Kristal was setting the stage. Luring attention. Priming the drama before they ever crossed the state line.
And Terry had already RSVP’d “Yes.”
***
The next morning, Donald woke to find Terry scrolling on her phone beside him. Her hair was a puff of gorgeous chaos against the pillow, and she looked good, soft and rested.
“Morning,” he mumbled.
“Morning,” she replied without looking up.
“What’s got your attention this early?”
She smiled slightly. “Nia. That girl… She’s wild. She just posted a reel talking about orgasms and warm pretzels.”
Donald blinked. “What?”
“I know. She’s hilarious though. Definitely going to be the life of the trip.” She laughed softly. “Might even teach you something.”
He ignored that last bit and sat up.
Terry kept scrolling, thumb moving with idle pleasure. “I’m thinking about packing early,” she said. “I want to look good this time.”
Donald didn’t say anything. What he wanted to ask was: For who?
***
Later that afternoon, he stood at the sink, rinsing his blender bottle, shirtless, when he caught a glimpse of himself in the window’s reflection.
He flexed. The line of his deltoid caught the light just right. It wasn’t Peter’s physique, but it wasn’t nothing either.
The front door opened, and Kristal’s voice shouted from the hallway. “Knock, knock! I brought tequilaaaa!”
Donald blinked. “What the hell?”
Terry jogged out of the bedroom. “She’s just dropping something off. Chill.”
Kristal walked in with oversized sunglasses, cutoff shorts, and a tank top that required real commitment. She looked like vacation had already started. “I figured we’d pregame before the beach, metaphorically speaking,” she said, holding up the bottle.
Donald gave her a tight smile. “Starting early.”
She looked him over and raised a brow. “Well damn. Someone’s been doing pull-ups in private. Look at you.”
Terry smirked. “He’s been living in the garage gym.”
Donald blushed, muttering something about protein.
Kristal sauntered closer, leaned against the counter, and tapped the supplement bottle sitting next to the sink. “Still chasing that alpha energy, huh?” she teased. “You might be dangerous this time.”
Donald gave her a lopsided grin. “Or I might just be tired and sore. We’ll see.”
Kristal leaned in, close enough for Donald to smell coconut oil and mischief. “Something tells me…this trip’s gonna light a few fires.” Then she winked, turned on her heel, and left the bottle on the counter before strolling out of the kitchen.
Terry grabbed the tequila and laughed. “She’s chaos. But she does keep things interesting.”
“Yeah,” he said, more to himself. “She definitely does.”
Donald stared after her.
