Wednesday

Every Wednesday, for two hours, a man who was once the narrator's closest friend comes to her for physical intimacy and nothing more. He is grieving his wife, who died young, and carries a heavy load of guilt and sorrow. She understands that the arrangement is all he can manage, even as she longs for something deeper between them.

The story alternates between her perspective and his, and its emotional tension builds alongside its sexual content. As her feelings grow past the terms they set, she must decide whether to risk everything by revealing how much she wants him. The book is short, intense and frank, and it is meant only for readers who want mature, sexually explicit material.
