One day,I accidentally discovered that I could share sensations with my husband.
Not only could I feel the pain from his injuries,but I could also experience the pleasure he felt when doing things he loved.
Until one night,while he was live-streaming a skydiving event from the United States,I watched as he and his female partner soared together—and suddenly,I felt an indescribable surge of pleasure...
My husband,Chase,is a thrill-seeker,especially passionate about skydiving.
I,on the other hand,am a professional designer—one of us is always on the move,while the other is steady,and that’s how fate brought us together.
Extreme sports often take place abroad,so Chase and I spend a lot of time apart.
After one skydiving accident,Chase broke his leg,forcing him to come back to the States and stay in the hospital for a while.
When I brought him some chicken noodle soup to the hospital,he was engrossed in watching a live stream.
I leaned over to take a peek at his iPad screen,which read:
“#The Inaugural National Paragliding Championship–Qualifiers in Progress.#”
I sighed,“Babe,can we stop with these dangerous sports?”
Chase loves skydiving and paragliding.He’s had dozens of metal pins put into his body because of it.
He’s taken his hobby to an elite level,even competing in the Pro Circuit internationally.
Startled by my presence,he still smiled cheekily and shook his head.
“Lily,I know you worry about me,but this is what I live for.The thrill and excitement I get from these sports are like nothing else.”
I gazed at Chase’s handsome face,momentarily lost in thought.
Extreme sports are a rich man’s hobby,not something the average person can afford.And since he doesn’t need to work,Chase is clearly a trust fund baby.
People envy me for marrying a rich and attractive man,but what they don’t see is how we can never be together all the time.
Honestly,I envy his teammates more than anyone.
I spooned some chicken noodle soup into Chase’s mouth,and he grinned happily.
“My wife is amazing,the perfect woman who can run the house and cook!I risk my life outside,but I never have to worry about things at home.”
I quickly shoved a piece of chicken into his mouth.
“Stop talking about life and death,would you?”
Since our marriage,Chase has been home very little.I’ve been the one taking care of everything for his family,handling all the domestic affairs.
He coughed violently after choking on some soup,but still laughed mysteriously.
“You’re worried about your husband,huh?Haha,I should give you a kid soon so you won’t miss me so much.”
Just as we were joking around,a gorgeous woman knocked on the door and walked in,smiling as she took off her sunglasses.
“Oops,didn’t mean to interrupt you two.”
The moment I saw Sophie Lee,I froze.I had seen her in countless photos on Chase’s Instagram.
Sophie was his long-time paragliding partner,an Asian-American,and they’d won many trophies together on the Pro Circuit.
Even though she spent years outdoors,her skin was still smooth and glowing,with an enviable hourglass figure and long legs that would make anyone jealous.
She was dressed provocatively,wearing a skimpy tank top that revealed a lot in this cool weather,completely unbothered by the chill.
She waltzed in,playfully flicked Chase’s forehead,and lifted the blanket to inspect his injured leg.
“What’s up with you?Can’t believe you managed to hurt yourself like this.”
I was shocked because Chase was lying there with only his underwear on,and Sophie was acting like it was the most natural thing in the world.
Noticing my discomfort,she laughed openly.
“We’re the best partners on the field and practically siblings off it.Hope you don’t mind,Lily?”
Chase quickly covered his leg.
“She might not mind,but I do!Give me some privacy here,would you?”
As they bantered back and forth,I couldn’t help but notice the sudden change under the blanket.Chase had clearly reacted to Sophie’s presence.
Was I imagining it,or had my husband just…responded to her?
