Damon
After spending the day with Donovan at the park, followed by a visit to Chuck E. Cheese’s, I discovered the kid was smart, full of energy, and very well mannered. I spent the entire day with him, attempting to make up for as much lost time as possible in twenty-four hours. When it came time for me to drop him off at the hotel with Nadia, he wrapped his arms around my neck and started to cry. I didn’t have the heart to leave the kid in tears, so I opted to give him a bath and read him a bedtime story until he drifted off to sleep. I loved those father-son moments, and I was instantly caught up in them—so caught up that I didn’t hear my phone ring when Octavia called. I came up with a quick lie that she believed, but it didn’t make me feel any better about the situation. I was slipping quickly, and I knew if I didn’t gain some control over my situation, I was going to be exposed. To make matters worse, I was almost busted on the phone when Nadia came waltzing into the room, talking to me while my wife was listening on the other end. Nadia did so even after I had told her I was calling to check on my wife. Granted, Octavia hadn’t heard her (at least I guessed and hoped not), but I had a strong feeling that Nadia did it on purpose.
“Why would I do that, Damon?” she asked, rolling her eyes. “I told you I respect your decision to keep our family a secret.”
Nadia had begun referring to the three of us as “our family” at every opportunity. Earlier she had insisted upon accompanying Donovan and me on our outing, but I told her firmly that I was there to visit with my son and only my son. I didn’t want her getting too comfortable around me, and I didn’t want to delude her into thinking that there was an ounce of hope that the two of us would someday get back together. After pouting and trying to throw a bullshit line at me about Donovan not being familiar with me, she finally gave up.
I peeked in on Donovan one last time before going back to my hotel. I was satisfied to see that he was still sleeping peacefully. I slipped out of the room and back into the living room of the suite to find the lights dimmed and Nadia sitting on the sofa wearing nothing but a smile. There was an open bottle of Rémy Martin sitting on the coffee table in front of her, along with two glasses, one of which was half-empty.
“María is gone,” she said, standing and walking up to me.
I allowed my eyes to drop from hers just long enough to scan over her body and then back up again. I felt a rising inside my pants and wanted to readjust my man, but I refused to allow Nadia the pleasure of seeing me do so.
