(Astraea's POV)
The bed was shaking.
That was the first thing my mind registered - a rhythmic, insistent rocking that pulled me from the deepest sleep I'd ever known. My consciousness surfaced slowly, like a drowning woman clawing toward air, but my body stayed pinned to the mattress.
My eyelids cracked open the tiniest fraction. My fingers wouldn't move. My legs were dead weight. My jaw was locked shut, tongue thick and useless behind my teeth.
And then I heard it.
A woman's moan, breathy and suppressed, coming from less than two feet away.
Through the sliver of my half-open eyes, I saw them.
Dominic was slamming into Melina right on the edge of our bed - my bed, our marriage bed - with his back to me. Melina was riding him like a whore, her legs spread wide around his hips, her nurse's uniform hiked up to her tits.
His hands gripped her ass hard, bruising her skin as he thrust up into her pussy with brutal force. He bit down on her nipple, sucking and growling like a fucking animal, while she ground down on his cock, begging for more.
The mattress bounced violently with every rough pound. Each slam sent shockwaves through the springs, up through the sheets, straight into my spine.
I wanted to scream. God, I wanted to scream so badly my throat burned with it. But the sound wouldn't come. My vocal cords were as paralyzed as my limbs. I can barely blink, what's wrong with me? Maybe this is just a nightmare?
"Fuck me harder, Alpha... ram that big dick in me," Melina panted, her voice dripping with slutty desperation. The sloppy, wet slaps of their bodies echoed in the silence of our bedroom.
I never expected my bedroom to become a playground for my mate's indulgence. There was a time when Dominic would tuck me in every night, kiss my forehead, and hold me in his arms so I could rest well.
Melina suddenly stiffened. Her eyes - wild and glazed with lust - drifted toward me.
"She blinked," Melina gasped. "I think Astraea just blinked."
Dominic didn't even look up from mauling her tits. "No fucking way. I doubled the dose tonight - wanted to pound you without interruptions."
Doubled the dose.
I thought of that goodnight tea. Since giving birth, my body has suffered serious trauma; Dominic prepares the goodnight tea for me every night, and today I accidentally spilled half of it.
He reached over and touched my face and hair. His fingers reeked of her cunt - that cheap jasmine mixed with her dripping juices. I held every muscle in my face absolutely still. I didn't breathe. I didn't blink.
"See? Dead to the world." He turned back to Melina and shoved her down harder on his cock. "Now shut up and take it, you dirty slut."
She laughed - a throaty, eager whine - and started bouncing on him again, moaning like a porn star.
They fucked like beasts for what felt like forever after that. I couldn't tell how long. Minutes bled together in the dark. The bed shook. Melina screamed his name, begging him to fill her up. Dominic snarled crude shit at her - "Gonna fuck you raw, you greedy whore" - in a guttural voice he'd never used on me.
