Chapter 43

• The day started out innocently enough. Or, well, not innocently. Nothing between Kat and I had been innocent. In retrospect, I should have figured out something was about to happen. Maybe I was thinking with my little head. It was hard not to. And coupled with the fact that work had been busy, I wasn't as sharp as I'd normally be to notice something looming on the horizon.
• It was spring, and things with our affair had been humming along smoothly. Kat and I played two or three times a week. We had taken a weekend trip to Austin together a few weeks earlier, which preceded a particularly busy time at work for both of us. So it was nice to connect and fuck our brains out for two days. As work settled down, we fell back into our routine.
• On this Friday afternoon, Kat wanted me to come over before date night with her boyfriend, which had become a favorite activity. I enjoyed having her first, so she went out with her man used. I called it making her "pre-satisfied." It was wicked. It was exciting, and it turned on both of us. We were supposed to rendezvous at 2 p.m., before James picked her up at 6 p.m. for drinks and dinner, but she got caught up editing a story, and I didn't arrive until 3:30.
