Ben thought he had the perfect life. A loving wife, Chloe, their first child on the way, and a quiet, predictable routine he cherished. He was a good, kind husband, the type to run out late at night for her pregnancy cravings, content in their simple, happy world.
It all changed in the sterile quiet of a doctor's office. Left alone and half-dressed for an exam, the wrong door opens. A tall, powerful orderly walks in and doesn't immediately look away. Instead, he stares, his gaze lingering on her pregnant belly and the scandalous underwear she wore on a whim. His own body's raw, immediate reaction plants a dark seed in Chloe's mind.
Suddenly, Chloe is consumed by a new, insatiable hunger. A craving for something more, something harder, something her gentle, loving husband can no longer provide. The memory of the stranger becomes an obsession that poisons their intimacy, leaving Ben feeling inadequate and confused.
So how does a happy, pregnant wife convince her husband to let her go on a date with another man? First, she calls it a sickness, a constant "hum" in her blood caused by pregnancy hormones that only gets worse. Then, she proposes a radical "therapy": if she meets a man who fits the fantasy?a tall, powerful, Black man?the boring reality will kill the obsession for good. Finally, to make him feel safe, to make him feel in control, she makes him the one in charge. He has to be the one to go online, to search the profiles, to find the perfect man to cuckold him.
How does that one "clinical" coffee date, designed to cure her, become a regular prescription for his own humiliation? How does Ben go from a reluctant planner to an obsessive interrogator, demanding she come home and tell him every single, filthy detail of her encounters? And how does he end up not just listening, but watching from a chair in the doorway as his wife's body is taken in ways he could only dream of?
Was this all just an extreme case of pregnant cravings? Or did that one fateful glance in a doctor's office simply unlock a dark, shared perversion that was waiting inside both of them all along?
