I married after my husband pursued me passionately. He was kind and considerate, but I had one lingering dissatisfaction: our sex life. His performance was merely average—satisfying enough, yet I had never once reached orgasm. Having never been with any other man, I assumed this was simply how married sex was supposed to be. That all changed the day I met Mr. Takada from next door. From that moment on, my life took a dramatic turn. I was no longer the modest, dutiful wife I had always been—I discovered an entirely different side of myself.
