DAMIAN

Two Weeks Earlier: Damian’s Apartment

Risa’s flush came without the inducement of alcohol. Perched on the edge of my bed, she kicked her small feet in happiness.

“I can’t believe I landed it! I mean, it was such a long-shot for me considering that company has always had such a Good Ole Boy reputation.”

“What changed?”

“The old guard is out and the new guard is young and fresh and run by the granddaughter.”

“Congratulations, Risa.”

“Thank you.”

“Arms up.”

She obeyed me and continued chattering about her triumph. I listened attentively. I nodded at the correct moments and praised her when necessity dictated as I undressed her.

Such a little chatterbox.

Gretchen hadn’t been one for sharing her mind so unflinchingly. Opening her body to me—yes. Her uncensored thoughts—no. The same went for me. Every word had been spoken in calculation. Not necessarily for manipulation but for the instinct of self-preservation.

Respect in silence kept my past safe.

The wall between Gretchen and me had loomed high. Divided into our own private spaces, seeing the other but never letting our individual mental spheres come too close, it had made for a comfortable existence.

Risa seems to have no idea of how much she lets me see into her. Our conversations are one-sided with her speaking 98% of the time but I truly could listen to her talk for days. It doesn’t annoy me.

Risa interested me beyond her delightful, luscious body.

I loved to hear her talk about what she heard on the morning radio, what she had for lunch, what new account she wanted to cozen, what she wanted to eat for dinner, and how badly she wanted me to fuck her.

I especially loved hearing that part of her scintillating conversation.

Especially when she begs so prettily.

Yet, I wasn’t satisfied. Discontent interrupted the peacefulness of being with her because I was growing attached to her far too quickly.

I’d begun to wonder how I was going to break the news that I wasn’t Damian Black, IT Director, but Damian Black-Price—founder and CEO of Bridgewater National and the parent company of hers, Black-Price Holdings. How would she take knowing her lover’s net worth had landed him on the “Top 10 Billionaires Under 30” list?

Trailing that I wondered if I’d ever come to a point where I could tell Risa about the Konstantinovs? As my wife she’d deserve to know.

Wife?

The ease and permanency of those thoughts disturbed me. Still, the idea of letting Risa Kelly go was absolutely not a possibility. Not now.

It wasn’t the kind of position I’d ever expected to be in. Couple that with the fact that Risa seemed oblivious to my affection to her—well it was enough to exasperate me.

She talks about anything and everything but not what I want to hear.

Risa never spoke about her family, her love for me, and her growing pain in keeping silent about them both. This infuriated me. I hated Risa maintaining any part of her thoughts hidden from me and I hated having to pretend I didn’t know what lay just beyond the flashing smile.

This is the world she runs to when she doesn’t want me to see her.
