Alex

He's been my best friend since we were children, and I've admired him all that time.

I've always known we were different, even before he matured and revealed his animalistic side.

I'm a married man with a sweet, beguiling wife who never fails to rouse my ardor while holding my infinite love.

Only now, when I see the two most important people in my life together, I realize something has changed.

In him, her, or me? I wish I could say. I wish I could pull back from the brink; that we could escape this deep, forbidden well into which the three of us sink.

I shouldn't want to see him hold her.

Nor to kiss her lips.

And I definitely shouldn't want to watch my best friend do a whole lot more with my beautiful beta wife.
