Kitty flinched at the word “sex” - even though she and Finlay had had a lot of it over the course of their relationship, she didn’t really have much experience beyond that. She didn’t even know what she liked in the act, always taking Finlay’s lead and doing the things he enjoyed. She’d always felt guilty in the rare instances when Finlay was focusing on her pleasure more, feeling like she was somehow undeserving of it and that he’d stop loving her if she didn’t get right back to showing attention to his genitals.

“You’re being so cruel,” Kitty said her eyes tearing once again. “I didn’t even know he was married at first. I just - after I learned I already loved him too much. And he told me all those things about you, about how cruel you are, how neglectful, how you were a terrible mother, he told me he wanted to run away to start the family he always wanted.”
