The Sinful Affair

Chapter 9

Anne sat on her parents back porch that weekend and smiled as she watched both boys play in the kiddie pool her mom had went out and bought yesterday which had flown by uneventful mainly because she hadn't had an art class nor had she went to go see Tristan.

Hearing someone sit down in the chair beside her she turned her head to see her dad. She hadn't seen much of him since coming to stay with them.

"Are you planning on moving back in?" Keith asked his daughter harshly his eyes coming to land on her. "Because the last time I checked you had a husband that loved you and a home of your own."

Being taken aback by her father's harshness Anne's smile fell and she chewed her lip, "I'm just staying here until Tristan and I work things out," she told him as she looked away from him and back out at her boys. "I don't have any intentions of moving back in."

"You and Tristan have nothing to work out," Keith said once Anne looked away from him. "I went to see him yesterday. Apparently this whole thing was just a misunderstanding on your part Anne. You need to go back home. That's where your place is now."

"My place?" Anne asked trying to keep her emotions in check.

Keith nodded his head at her question, "Your place is being a good wife and mother. Submitting to your husband and letting him lead your family. Being the wife God would want you to be not letting Satan get in and ruin your marriage by leaving because of some silly misunderstanding."

"No," Anne corrected him. "You mean my place is being his servant. Letting him get what he wants while I do like mom and just sit around and raise the children and fix the dinners and be a doormat."

"If you see it that way then yes," Keith said as he knew he should just be honest with his daughter on how he felt. "You knew what you were stepping into when you married him. You give up your life so your husband can lead his family," he told her as he shook his head. "I am only going to allow you to stay here another week Anne Laurel, after that you are either going to go home or find your own place because I am not going to let you stay here and let Satan destroy your marriage."

Hearing her dad Anne laughed bitterly before standing from the chair, "Of course you won't," she spat before heading inside. Seeing her mom who just gave her a frown it was then that she knew her mother was aware of what her dad was going to tell her and of course her mother was okay with it. Her mother never stood up to her father.

Shaking her head at her mom she walked out of the kitchen and went to the table by the door where her car keys were. Grabbing them she went outside and got in her car. She needed to go for a drive and clear her mind. She needed to get away from her asshole father and forget what he had said.

Kobe who had been up in his bedroom painting groaned to himself as he heard a knock on the door downstairs. He would have hollered at his mom to get it but he knew she was at the hospital where she worked the day shift. Putting the paint brush down he left the room and wiped his hands on the pair of jeans he had. He didn't care that paint was now on them. They were an old pair that he never wore out anymore so he could get them as dirty as he wanted.

Opening the door when he made it downstairs he raised an eyebrow at the sight of Anne on his doorstep, "Anne?" he asked feeling confused at how she had even found out where he lived.

Anne pushed her way inside after Kobe had said her name, "I may or may not have had my sister text me every Coleman in the phone book," she said knowing that he was probably wondering how she had found him and this probably made her seem like even more of a creeper than her randomly showing up on his doorstep had done.

Laughing at her words Kobe shut the door behind her, "And my mom's the last one under Coleman," he said knowing that meant she had probably went to every other Coleman's house.

"She is," Anne nodded as she too laughed. "You wouldn't believe the weird stares I got from everyone else. I was so glad when I knocked on this door and you answered. I probably would have been scared if your mom had answered."

"I'm sure I could believe them," Kobe said as he smiled and just shook his head. "What are you doing here though? I mean I may be wrong but our date isn't until tomorrow."

When Kobe asked her what she was doing her Anne shrugged, "I needed to get away from my parents house," she admitted. "It's where I have been staying since I left my husband. My father said some things and it ticked me off and I just needed to get away."

"And you ran to my house?" Kobe asked. "Well my mom's house I mean," he corrected himself knowing he didn't really consider this his place. He was only staying here until he got his own place.

"It's not like I could go to my husband and my one sister that I could go too is probably too busy doing something with her husband's family," Anne answered as she felt herself blush. "I didn't think you'd complain about seeing me since you seem to like me."

Kobe smiled again as he looked at Anne, "I never said I was complaining," he told her as he turned to head back upstairs to his room where he had left his painting unfinished. "I just was wondering what lead you here is all."

Following behind him Anne couldn't help but grin at the fact that he wasn't complaining about her being there. "You don't think I am creepy either do you? I mean for literally stalking to find where you live?"

"Oh no, I definitely think you are creepy," Kobe teased her as he walked into his room and picked up the paintbrush he had laid on top of his painting. Sitting down in the floor he dipped the paintbrush into the little container of blue paint and went back to what he had been doing before Anne had gotten here.

Anne came to a stop in what was obviously Kobe's room and she watched him as he sat back down on the floor and began to paint, her cheeks heating up when she realized what he was painting. "Is..is that?" she asked almost not able to find her voice to even ask that question. The unspoken one on the tip of her tongue.

"Is that an orgy?" Kobe asked finishing her question for her as he looked up at her and from the painting he was doing. "It is a group of people involved in an orgy," he confirmed as he nodded his head before going back to his painting.

When Kobe confirmed her question Anne blushed more as she stood there in silence watching as he finished up his painting. The details were so realistic and just the thought of him painting something so erotic made her blush even more again. She was surprised mainly because minus his hitting on her while knowing she was married he seemed so innocent. Not the type to draw something like that.

"Does my dirty painting bother you?" Kobe asked once the painting was done and he stood up. Closing up the bottles of paint he put them away along with his paintbrush. "If so I would apologize but why apologize for how I am right," he smirked seeing the blush on her cheeks.

"It doesn't bother me," Anne said watching as he smirked. "I just wasn't expecting such a painting from you. You seem so innocent. I mean besides having a slight crush on a married woman and making it known."

At her words Kobe smirked even more as he stepped closer to her, "There is a lot of things about me that aren't so innocent," he told her once he was directly in front of her.

"L..like what?" Anne asked stuttering at how close he was. She wasn't sure why being this close to him made her so nervous.

"I don't know if you are ready to know that stuff yet," Kobe whispered as he inched his face closer to hers. "Preacher's daughter and all. I might corrupt you and god knows I'll go to hell for it."

Anne again felt nervous as his face inched closer to hers, "You know my dad's preacher?" she asked as she raised an eyebrow curiously.

Kobe nodded as he locked eyes with her, "Apparently my mom went to his church for a bit. That's how she met my dad. He was some drifter and I guess he came to your dad's church and it was insta attraction for both of them," he laughed as he kept his eye contact with her.

"Oh," Anne squeaked out as she stepped away from him some. "Yeah wouldn't want to corrupt me," she teased as she shook her head breaking their eye contact.

"Nope." Kobe said as he shook his head too. "So what did your dad say to make you want to get away?" he asked as he moved away from her and exited the room.

Anne looked down at the floor as she found herself following Kobe again, "He said I need to go back home or find my own place," she told him feeling angry at her fathers words. "Said I knew what my place was when I married my husband. He meant I should be a good wife and be a doormat. Fix his dinners and let him have his life while I just became a step-ford wife," she sighed still pissed at that. "Then said he wasn't going to let Satan destroy my marriage because of a misunderstanding between my husband and I."

Kobe reached the bottom stairs and turned to look at Anne, "He really said that?" he asked astounded that her dad would be that religious. It was almost insane.

"Yeah pretty much," Anne nodded as she looked back at him. "He's the reason I married my husband in the first place. I got pregnant before marriage. God forbid that worked out too well with him. So I got married on my eighteenth birthday while being eight months pregnant," she said as she shrugged. "My father rules with an iron fist."

Hearing her speak Kobe turned and finished walking down the last remaining stairs, "He seems like it," he admitted before cringing inside because he wasn't sure if he should agree or not. "But you married really young. I couldn't imagine getting married at eighteen."

"I don't think I ever saw myself marrying that young or even starting a family that young but then I had John and things changed," Anne smiled as she thought of her oldest son. "I had dreams to go to college. Study art actually but then I got pregnant and things changed. Instead I became a wife and mother and I lost anything I wanted to do," she shrugged as she made it to the bottom of the stairs as well and stopped beside Kobe. "I think sometimes I wish I could do the things I want or just be like every adult woman my age and have experiences but I can't do that because I have family."

"And that's bullshit," Kobe spoke as he looked at her. "Just because you have kids and a husband doesn't mean you can't have experiences," he told her as he gave her a smile. "I think I want to show you that if you'll let me," he whispered before moving in to kiss her softly on the lips. Every boundary now had been broken and he was kissing a married woman..a married woman who was separated from her husband.

When Kobe kissed her Anne froze briefly before finding herself kissing him back. The kiss was different than any she had shared with Tristan recently. It was new and raw and passionate. It was things she had missed and things she had craved and she allowed it to continue for awhile longer before eventually pulling away to catch her breath.

"I think I want you to show me that," she finally spoke as she gave him a smile. "I want experiences."

Nodding at her words Kobe leaned into her again, "Then I think I'll take you out tonight instead of waiting until tomorrow," he whispered before kissing her again.

Kissing Kobe back again, Anne just let her hands go around his neck as she moved into him. She was sure where ever he took her she'd like it. She'd get to do something fun. She'd get to just be free, something she hadn't been in so long.
