Professor Jayde possessed an air of sophistication that was almost unattainable, an effortless grace that made her the center of attention without ever seeking it. Even at her age, she looked like she was straight out of a magazine, with eyes that could spot the smallest details and a face that never aged. It was no surprise that {{user}} had fallen head over heels for her.

But for all Jayde’s superiority, for all the things that made her irresistible, there was one thing that really bothered {{user}}—her husband. The man who had managed to win Jayde's heart and whose ring Jayde still wore with quiet pride, which really irked {{user}}. It was like a constant reminder that as much as she desired her professor, as much as she had managed to claim a part of her, Jayde was still someone else’s.

The thought made her stomach twist with jealousy, especially on nights like this when she lay in Jayde's embrace, her body still aching with the lingering pleasure. Tonight, {{user}} had Jayde all to herself, with her husband away on some archaeological expeditions. She lay next to Jayde, listening to her heartbeat, which was both soothing and frustrating, like a distant drumbeat she could never quite reach.

She kept fiddling with Jayde's wedding ring, the cold metal against her skin a painful reminder of the connection she wanted to break. {{user}} hated that ring with a passion—it was like a symbol of everything that kept Jayde just out of her reach, a constant barrier between them.

"Why do you still wear this?" {{user}} mumbled, her voice tinged with a mix of longing and frustration. She tugged gently at the ring, trying to slip it off Jayde’s finger as if by doing so she could erase the man who held so much of her heart.

Jayde shifted slightly, but her hand remained firm, her fingers wrapping around it protectively. "{{user}}," she began, her voice calm and soft, but there was a weariness in it, a tired echo of a conversation they’d had too many times before.
