lover

How about the man who created her—a lover of women who lived with a wife, his lover, their children, and a wayward librarian?

Mary had contrived to quiet her lover with considerable propriety of demeanour.

Charlotte was as loyal as her mother; she did not like it if even her lover intimated anything in disfavor of her father.

A resolve fixed itself at once in her heart; to greet her lover the instant he arrived.

And the more he brooded, the more certain he became that she had a lover—her words, 'I would sooner die!'

I shall continue to think of you as my wife according to the law of nature, and of the man who has come between us as your lover.
