The morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a golden haze across the bedroom. Lilith stretched her cream-colored retriever body across the sheets, watching as Joshua hurriedly knotted his tie. The small gray cat fumbled with the silk, his blue eyes narrowed in concentration.

"Have a good day at the office!" Lilith said, her voice honeyed with false affection. She flashed her perfect teeth in what appeared to be a loving smile.

Joshua's whiskers twitched nervously. "Thanks darling, I'll try to be home early tonight!" He always spoke this way-tentatively, as if awaiting approval.

Lilith's tail swished impatiently beneath the covers. "Don't worry about me, I have tennis today!"

As the front door shut, Lilith's demeanor transformed. The façade of contentment crumbled, revealing the contempt she'd harbored throughout their five-year marriage. Joshua's accounting firm had provided them with a comfortable life, but comfort wasn't what Lilith craved. She needed sex, a dominant partner, raw passion-everything her diminutive husband couldn't provide.

She padded to her closet, pulling out the red lace lingerie she'd purchased last week. The scarlet fabric contrasted beautifully against her golden fur as she admired herself in the full-length mirror. Her athletic body, toned from countless tennis sessions, deserved better than Joshua's timid touch.

Lilith's paw trembled slightly as she dialed Travis's number, her tennis coach. The German Shepherd answered on the second ring, his deep voice sending shivers down her spine.

"He's gone." she whispered "Come over now."

Twenty minutes later, Travis's powerful knock rattled the front door. Lilith opened it to find him filling all of the doorframe with his muscular body, with a gleam of dangerous intelligence in his dark eyes.

"About damn time." Travis growled, pushing past her into the house. Unlike Joshua, who always asked permission, Travis took what he wanted. "I've been thinking about you all week long."

Lilith felt herself flush beneath her fur. "I couldn't wait another day."

Travis didn't waste time with pleasantries. His massive paws gripped her shoulders, pushing her against the wall. Where his mouth found hers, tongue demanding entrance where Joshua would have gently asked. Lilith moaned very hard, feeling REALLY alive for the first time in a while.

"Your husband can't give you this, can he?" Travis growled, tearing the delicate red lingerie with one swipe of his claws.

"N-Never! A-Ahwn!" Lilith gasped, arching her back as Travis's teeth grazed her neck. "He's too..." she couldn't finish as Travis lifted her up, carrying her to the kitchen counter.

The cold marble against her back made her gasp, but Travis's heat soon overwhelmed the chill. His considerable length pressed against her, making her realize how inadequate Joshua had always been. Travis mounted her with confident thrusts that made the decorative fruit bowl rattle and fall.

"H-Harder!!~ OHWN! OHWNN!!" Lilith commanded, digging her claws into his powerful shoulders. "Make me feel it inside of me!!!"

Travis obliged, his powerful hips driving into her with such force that she slid across the counter, knocking over the wedding photo she'd never truly cherished. The glass shattered on the floor-a fitting metaphor, she thought distantly.

"Is this what you needed, bitch??" Travis snarled, his domineering presence everything Joshua wasn't and everything Lilith wanted.

"GOD, P-PLEASE!!~ YESSS!" Lilith cried out, her voice echoing through the house she shared with a husband who didn't deserve her. "DEEPER!! DON'T STOP IT BABY, DON'T  STOP!!~"

They moved from the kitchen to the living room, Travis bending her over the sofa where Joshua watched movies on  the evenings. The comparison only heightened her pleasure. Travis's impressive endowment filled her completely, each thrust punctuated by his grunts and her increasingly desperate moans.

"T-Take me upstairs." she demanded between gasps. "I want you in my bed."

Travis carried her up the stairs in his muscular arms, never breaking their connection. In the bedroom she shared with Joshua, Travis claimed her again and again. His relentless stamina matched her own as they rolled across the sheets, knocking pillows to the floor and leaving the bedspread in disarray.

Hours and hours passed by in a blur of primal pleasure. Lilith lost count of her climaxes as Travis satisfied her in ways she'd only imagined in her head. When they finally collapsed, sweat-soaked and panting, the afternoon sun was beginning to wane.

"Same time tomorrow?" Travis asked, already reaching for his clothes.

Lilith nodded yes, gazing at the ceiling. she felt no guilt, only clarity. She would tell Joshua tonight. Their marriage built on her deception and his naivety-was over.

She had finally chosen herself.
