Love after Divorce

24: 8 months

Ch. 24 / 127 Apr 15, 2026

P.O.V Mason

It's been 8 months since I've been married, eight months without real sex, can you imagine what that's like for someone sexually active? You may wonder what I mean by real sex, I will explain, but not in detail, I have been maintaining my communication with Peyton, at least by phone or video call. That is if we only talk when I'm in the office, nothing at home. I respect Paige, even if it's hard for them to understand me, because if we don't just talk, we also have our sex talks, more than talks I would say. It is impossible to do nothing no matter how much I try to be 100 percent faithful, I think I have been a good husband, because I have not seen any woman. She is a witness to that, as my conversations with Peyton no one knows.

I feel connected to her, I am sure she is the woman I always wanted, but never looked for. Peyton is my other half, she understands me, since she knows all about the contract, she agrees to wait for me and love me from a distance while these three years pass by. what woman does that? I can assure you that no one, only true love would make you do something like that for love. That's why I feel so confident with her, I tell her everything, what I do every day, how my relationship with my wife is going, she knows we sleep together.

But she trusts me and knows that she has me in the palm of her hand, to the level that I cannot see any woman with other eyes as I see her.

Paige is an excellent companion, friend, not to mention how she raises Simba, she is the best at it, she is even the only one who dares to scold him when he does something wrong. I usually lose putting on a straight face when he does a prank, the laughter wins me over, so I get a furious look from Paige, I pretend to celebrate the things she does. Some of them are funny and even she has a hard time keeping an angry expression.

In the company everything increases, contracts, partners, and clients. I have even asked Paige for help in some things, and she is pretty good at it for not having finished her higher education yet. I am sure she will be an excellent CEO of her family's company, which I have been taking care of and watching the contracts coming in so that when it is my turn to hand everything over to Paige, I will explain everything that has happened during this time with her inheritance.

Ethan tells me he has noticed me happier lately, he says it's because of Paige, it hurts me to lie to him, but I can't tell him the truth, I know him too well and Sarah more than me, he doesn't know how to lie or keep a lie, she would find out everything and that fucks everything up for us. I love my friend, but she doesn't know how to keep a secret. I tell him yes, it's for love, since that's the truth, just not for the person he thinks. Those are small details, when the three years are over, we will tell all our friends the whole truth, it was an agreement we made a few months ago with Paige, something we both grieve for and that at that time we will be free of this lie.

Sometimes I am surprised by my wife, I mean she has not been out alone, she spends all her time with Simba or the girls. Well lately at the gym, at what point does she vent on the sexual issue, it is a question I have asked myself repeatedly and even Peyton I asked, her answer was:

"We are not like men, if we have stress from classes, exams, learning something new about the company, taking care of a puppy, etc. They can keep you totally busy and exhausted, we women can live without sex honey."

At first, I thought she was teasing me with what she said, but it turns out to be true. Because my wife hardly ever leaves the house and it's not like I'm following her around, because she can go out and have a sexual encounter with some guy as long as she respects our agreement.

I don't dare to bring it up, as she will ask me what I do and I can't tell her that I do sexting, I'm not capable. Although I think she must imagine that when I wake up with a tent in my underwear and run to the bathroom it's to use my hand, because I do that anyway, I'm not going to deny it.

Then I thought that maybe that's why she asked for the gym, since I've read that some people get even for having sex by exercising, I must point out that it's doing her a lot of good to be there every day, her body has taken more shape than it already had, any guy would be besotted by her, she's cute, smart, with a great body,

What more could you ask for? For my taste she is not, I feel she lacks sensuality, I see her as a sister because of that, I have never seen her seductive and that makes me not see her with other eyes.

other eyes. I don't think I will ever see her like that since we both agreed that we would only be friends and partners.

My mother is furious with Paige's parents, she says they don't deserve a daughter like her, how is it possible that this lady who claims to be her mother still doesn't talk to her because she is getting married on the sly, it really seems crazy to me. The good thing is that my mother adores her and treats her like a daughter, she has even thought of adopting her when I finished the contract, which I told her was illogical, she is of age, how is she going to adopt her? But my mother is my mother and she told me that even if she is 35, she needs a mother. Obviously, mine is willing to be one for Paige. I preferred not to touch the subject anymore or my mother would end up scolding me very badly, she says that the children, no matter how old they are, never stop being the kids for them.

People outside our close circle of friends believe the story that we are in love and that we are a happy family with our father. We are both very concerned when we go out somewhere, that they see us affectionate and attentive to each other, that has generated rumors of crazy in love, to which we laugh like crazy when we see something new in the press about us.

My poor Peyton gets to see all those things, it hurts me that she sees them, but it's for a good in the future, she says she understands, although every time something new comes out about us I see the pain in her eyes. It makes me feel helpless, so much so that I have planned a work trip where she is, just to see her and be with her. I need to see her, or I feel like I'm going to die, I can't live on masturbation, I really have tried, very, very hard, but I can't anymore.
