Tonight's Loss

Losing to my husband tonight was a hollow victory for him; I didn't feel it at all. Afterward, he wanted me as his prize, but even the physical act felt like a chore. He entered me roughly, trying to reclaim dominance, and I let him, my body just moved through the motions, detached and cold. My mind wandered to a distant place where I could imagine someone else’s touch, someone who might actually care about my needs. But it was too late; as he climaxed with a final thrust inside me, I felt nothing but an emptiness that no amount of sex could fill.
