All Other Things is a short story of newlyweds Bea and Tommy. The couple is attracted to each other, but the intimacy in their marriage is sparse and unsatisfying. Bea talks to her close friend/co-worker, Kieran about her failed attempts of seducing her husband. Secretly she crushes on him, as he offers her advice and soothe her fears. Bea can’t seem to shake the gut feeling that Tommy is having an affair. Why else would he not be interested in having sex with his wife?

Bea hears all the gossip the floats around the office about Kieran and his sexcapades. She can’t help but secretly crush on the sexy man, especially when he makes sexual innuendos about the two of them. One question from Kieran nags at Bea and puts her into action…..Have you ever caught your husband masterbating?

Tommy tries to sooth his wife’s fear about his late hours at work, explaining that he is finishing a project that requires his attention. Still questioning her husband and Kierans’ question in the back of her mind, Bea enjoys the sight of her sexy and attractive husband in the shower. The sight of her naked husband reminds her of how long it has been since they had been intimate. As the water trickles down his sculpted body, Bea tries to coax Tommy into bed. The chemistry turns ice cold as quickly as it had heated up. Bea awakens that night to find her husband missing and tracks him to his office chatting online and from what she can see it is a sexual conversation. Mixed emotions running high, she is glued peering through the cracked door watching as he strokes his cock. Bea can’t tear her eyes away from the screen as she discovers that they are talking about her and all the naught things Tommy wants to do to her but can’t.
