Fired at Work Demoted at Home

Eriq walks in and drops the news—fired. The mortgage is gonna bite hard. Cali just laughs, cold and loud, like she’s been waiting for this exact excuse. She tells him he’s not a man anymore. No money, no shopping trips, no weekend escapes. No use at all. She orders him out so her new man can slide in and fuck her proper. Eriq drops to his knees, voice cracking, begging to stay. Cali leans in, voice low and cutting: he can stick around only if he stops pretending he’s her equal and starts acting like her slave.
