WILLOW
“I guess, since I can’t go to your place, you should come back to mine, instead of spending a fortune on hotel rooms,” I suggested.
Rex looked amused. “Don’t worry about it, Willow. I’m just calling in a favor.”
“Yeah, very funny. But seriously, what a waste of money.”
“Your place is too far from your workplace, or my home. It makes more sense for us to meet in the middle.”
“Where do you live?” I asked curiously.
“Steinway Tower, 57th street,” he said.
Of course, he lived a stone’s throw away from Central Park on the street called the Billionaire’s Row.
“It won’t always be like this,” he added softly. “Just give me a little time to sort my situation out, okay?”
“Are you… are you ashamed of me, Rex?” I asked.
That expression of indulgent mild amusement fled from his face. “Oh, Willow. Never. Nothing would give me more pride than to take you to meet my family.”
I frowned. “Then what is it? Can’t you just tell me?”
“I will tell you. Just not yet. Maybe, if I can get it all to fit, next week.”
I sighed.
He angled his mouth over mine and when our lips touched, a moan escaped my mouth. Oh God. It was only one night of being apart, but how had I gone on for so long without him? He tasted of heat and wine—a heady combination. Our tongues swathed over each other, teasing, tasting.
Rex ’s hands roved over my back and ass and I did the same. Our movements grew more frenzied. Then Rex pulled back, lifted me up and carried me to the bedroom.
He kissed me again then moved down to cup my breasts and kiss my nipples. I let out a luxurious moan. Pleasure pulsed in my veins and my pussy throbbed with the need to be possessed.
He pushed my knees up and wedged himself between my thighs. First, he teased my folds with the tip of his cock, then he pushed his cock in, plunging deep. I let out a cry and clung to his shoulders as he thrust in and out.
I came quickly as if I was having sex for the first time.
Sweat clung to both our bodies as Rex kept up the rhythm. In and out. In and out. He let out a low rumble of pleasure as he came, his cock filling my pussy with hot cum.

REX
What I was doing wasn’t fair to Willow, but she belonged with me and so did Kayden, so come hell or high water I would find a way to persuade her to accept my son.
Willow was a warm, loving woman, and Kayden was irresistibly adorable.
There was no way she would not fall immediately and completely in love with him when she met him. I was sure of that. I just needed to get all the pieces in order before I introduced them.
I drained my coffee just as Finn texted to let me know that he was waiting downstairs. I left quietly making sure not to wake Willow up.
First things first. Kayden.
Just thinking about him brought a smile to my face. My son. Unbelievable that a blood connection could change my life just like that. Make me smile for no reason whatsoever.
The day was jam-packed with stuff I had to do to bring him over to live with me.
In the morning Jessica and I interviewed several live-in nannies, before we settled on one. A sweet woman in her late twenties who had worked with children all her adult life. Hannah had a gentleness about her that made me instantly trust her with Kayden.
In the afternoon, Jessica helped with furnishing Kayden’s bedroom and all the other stuff that a three-year-old needed. It was amazing how such a small person needed so much. I might have overdone the toys, but seeing the joy in his eyes when he opened them. Pure joy.
What really helped was when he met my Swiss Shepherd dog. I didn’t know how Shadow would react to a baby and I had him on a leash, but the connection was instant. Both were utterly fascinated with each other. Shadow licked his chubby hand and Kayden threw his arms around Shadow’s neck and laughed with delight.
Then Jessica left and it was just me, Kayden and Hannah. Kayden didn’t seem bothered that his mom had gone. She’d promised to visit in two weeks though.
The first night, I was nervous as hell, but having Hannah around helped. She was awesome with him and after the first night, I felt a little more confident about my role as a dad.
Willow and I exchanged a few text messages, but I told her I was swamped with work. I felt guilty that I was lying to her, but I promised myself that when things settled down, I would explain everything to her.
We would then open a new chapter in our relationship.
