His Saliva Allergy Was Only To Me

Adrian has a saliva allergy. Even the slightest contact with someone's lips would cause his whole body to break out in hives.

At our wedding, when the officiant asked us to kiss, just one light touch sent him into shock and straight to the hospital.

During sex at night, he makes me wear a mask, terrified of coming into contact with my saliva.

Rumors spread like wildfire. People said I had bad breath, that I carried bacteria, that I was the reason a perfectly good man had to be so cautious.

To protect his pride, I silently endured all the speculation.
