“Your wife is carrying my child, and she’s leaving with me.” He stood there in shock, and he turned to Stephora. “I need you to tell me right now that he’s lying…, please tell me it’s not true, Stephora!”

She stood there not knowing what to say. He screamed, and his face turned beet red, “You know I didn’t want any more children, and you let this fucking Gigolo get you pregnant…” “Graham I’m not sure if it’s his or yours.”

“What did you say…?” “I thought you were using protection?” “I was until three months ago, and it was my decision to get pregnant.” “I wanted my own child Graham, and I’m willing to raise it on my own.”

Graham snapped his voice almost at a whisper, “You’d better hope that it’s his child, because I would never let you raise a child of mine.” “I will make your life and his living hell, I promise.”

“You’re a slut… and unfit to raise any child.” “If there’s any way possible, I will send you back to the slums you came from.” “I promise you this Stephora; you will never get a dime of my money.” “I loved you, and you have betrayed me by getting pregnant with this nobody.”

“You loved me…?” “I felt you never loved me, because I was only your possession, and never your wife.” I stepped in front of them and said, “That’s enough Graham; I will not stand by and let you talk to her this way.” “I can’t stand any more of this so if you want this Gigolo you can have him,” he said as walked out slamming the door.

Stephora began to cry, and I took her in my arms. “It’s going to be all right.” “Donavan I just want to have my baby in peace.”  “Stephora, you don’t have to worry, things will be ok.” “What am I going to do?” “I won’t have a dime to my name after this, and he will make sure I never do.”  “I said almost in tears myself, don’t worry I’ll take care of you.” “Both of my businesses are doing well right now.” “Believe me I won’t be put in this position ever again.”

The next day we flew back to Chicago, and Stephora seemed a little distant. I thought she might be a little worried about the threats Graham had made yesterday. I tried to reassure her they were only threats, and that I would take care of her. I knew I didn’t have the money Graham had, but I would make sure she never wanted for anything ever again.

I stopped by Moms so Stephora could see Janet. She picked her up, and I finally saw a smile cross her face. She said smiling from ear to ear, “Donavan she is so beautiful just like her father.” “To me she looks like her mother, but now her new mother is holding her,” I said, smiling. “Valencia will always be her mother but I know she would love the fact that you’ll love her just as much.” “I will Donavan, and I love her already.” 

We began packing our things to move to L.A. I had already talked to a realtor, and our new home was ready. I knew I would be coming back in a week to get Janet, and Mom was coming to make sure we got settled.  I wanted Stephora to feel at home, so I waited on the furnishings.

I called Nick to let him know, but he was on vacation. “Whatever,” I thought; maybe he thought he deserved one. I was all over the place with my personal life, but now I was getting things on track. The house in Beverly Hills was just what Stephora needed. It was too much for my taste, but anything to make her happy.

“Donavan it’s spectacular, and I can’t wait to decorate,” she squealed. “Do whatever you like, and don’t worry about the cost.” “I can’t wait for my parents to come to California.” “They will love it here!” “I’ll start working on Janet’s room first, and then the baby’s room.”

I never heard her mention her parents much except for the fact that Graham had taken care of them. “Hey Babe, why don’t we christen our new home, right now…?.” I laid her on the soft rug, and we made passionate love. I missed the way she felt, and with all the shit going on, it had been a minute.  After making love, I wanted to take her somewhere nice. 

I made reservations at The Vine, a restaurant I’d heard about.  We showered and dressed and after dinner we walked the along Rodeo drive window shopping. This was something we both needed just to forget about the whole Graham thing.

After returning home, I called to let Mom know we had made it, and things were fine. “Juan I’m glad you called.” “I took Janet to her doctor’s appointment today, and you need to know.” “What wrong with Janet... Mom, talk to me?” “Juan the doctor thinks she has Sickle Cell Anemia, but until they do more tests they won’t know.” This just couldn’t be happening… “Is she all right?” “Yes, she seems fine, but the blood work was what they were concerned about.” 

“Why hadn’t Joyce said anything?” I asked. “Maybe she didn’t know Juan.” I replied, “Mom, I’ll fly back in a few days to make sure things are ok.” “I don’t think that’s necessary right now, but I wanted you to know what was going on.” “When are they doing the tests?”

“Her next appointment is Monday, and I think I’ll be ok going by myself.” “I’ll call you if I need you and we’ll be in L.A in two weeks.” “All right Mom, just keep me posted on things.” “You know I will Juan so don’t worry.” I didn’t tell Stephora about Janet, because she had enough on her plate.

  Stephora was busy making sure things were right with the decorators. I still hadn’t talked to Nick, so I called the office, and he was still on vacation and left Aaron in charge. I only met Aaron once, at a party in Vegas, but he must be reliable if Nick left him in charge. 

“Aaron this is Donavan,” I said, “And I’m on my way over to check things out.”  “All right,” he said, “But do you need me to send a car for you?” “Yes that’ll work, because I really don’t know my way around yet.” “No problem, I’ll send them right away.” “Thanks Aaron, I’ll see you soon.”

I still was puzzled about Nick’s sudden vacation, because he was money hungry. There must be a women involved or man, but it was serious.  Nick was always down my back about Stephora, and the business.

I knew Nick didn’t have much grown up, and he told me about not knowing his father. I also knew he didn’t trust women because of his relationship with his mother. Why his sudden need for a vacation?  I knew this man and what I thought made him tick.  Nick would do anything for a buck.

I needed to find a new place for my brokerage firm, and I wanted everything to be legit. I would keep the one in Chicago as well, because it was doing well. I dressed in my business suit and tie, grabbed my briefcase, but only to put Stephora at ease. I wanted her to think I was getting out of the escort business. It wasn’t that I was lying, I told myself, and I was just protecting her.

“Stephora,” I said, “I’m going out to check on a possible business location, and I’ll be back in a while.” She was so busy she hardly noticed I was leaving. I wouldn’t do this forever, but for now the money would come in handy. The decorators alone were costing me a fortune, but I did say “Spare No Cost.’ 

Nick had done a wonderful job with the office.  It was masculine with a modern flare. No one would know it was an escort business. “Hello Donavan, I’m Aaron, and it’s so nice to meet you.” “I spoke to Nick this morning, and he’ll be back in the city in a few days.”

I said looking him up and down, “Aaron, while Nick is away, I want all the facts and figures sent to my computer.”  “Ok,” he replied checking me out as well, “But I’ve made sure everything was reported, and the guys are scheduled daily.” “I appreciate that, but there’s a more discreet way of doing things.” “I’m sure you heard about what happened to Heidi a few years ago, and I don’t want to be next.”

“Always stay a step ahead of the cops and the competition that’s my motto,” I laughed. He looked at me a rolled his eyes as if to say, whatever. “Aaron what about you, do you have your client list?” “But of course I do, and it’s probably better than yours,” he snaps his fingers. “I doubt that, but I’m sure it’s impressive.”  “Aaron I’m not here to cause discord I just want things done right.” “They ran just fine before you got here, and will continue to run just fine” “I’m sure they will, but I have a lot invested in this as well as you do.”

“Nick and I are close friends, but this is business.” “Aaron why don’t you get the things that I’ve asked for and we can go from there.” Aaron looked annoyed and said, “Ok, I can do that, but we have assistants for that sort of thing...” “I laughed and said, you’re a piece of work my friend.”

I watched as he walked out the door, and I was still laughing.

I called Shanghai and informed her I was in L.A and needed to be connected on the low. She laughed and said, “Donavan you’ve been away for a while, but I’m sure I can help with that.” “What makes you think that your clients have disappeared?” I replied, “I don’t think they have disappeared, but I want to fly under the radar.” “What is this about Donavan?”

“No, don’t tell me it’s the woman in your life.”

“Donavan you’re much too good to be controlled by a woman.” I answered thinking it wasn’t her business, “It’s not that, she knows what I do, and she just wants me out of the biz.” “Donavan if I’ve taught you anything it’s that you have to choose.” “This life is not for the family man, and the man that wants to fly under the radar.” I said straight and to the point, “Let me do this my way Shanghai.” “I know what I can and cannot do.”  “All right, but I do have just the right client for you, but there’s one drawback, it’s out of the country.” 

“Ok and when will I have to leave?”, “So I’m assuming the answer is yes?” asked Shanghai. “How much, and you know it has to be worth my while.”

“The location is Paris.”  “The how much is thirty thousand for the weekend.” “She has an event in a month and she needs an escort.” I replied thinking how I would tell Stephora, “In a month; I can do it so, set it up.” “I’ll let everyone know your back in the business.” “Shanghai, only put calls through to my private number.” “All right, I will do.”

I went over the books to see how much we’d made in the last month. If this was right, we were making money hand over fist.  The business was making a quarter of a million a month, and that excluded expenses.

Nick was definitely taking care of business, and Aaron was a big asset. I was meeting a realtor about an office space in an hour, so I needed to wrap things up.  I cleared things up, grabbed my briefcase, and headed for the door. I saw Aaron getting ready to leave for the day. I said smiling, “Hey, Aaron good job, and keep up the good work!” and winked in his direction.

I agreed to meet Dana at the four seasons for lunch and then see the property. I ordered a glass of water, and waited for him to arrive.  “Hello Mr. Jacobs”, a tall redhead extends her hand to me. “I’m Shelia Fox my husband and I own and operate Fox Realtors,” and she hands me her card.

The first thing I noticed was the enormous rock on her slender finger. “I’m sorry my husband couldn’t make it but I came in his place.”

“I hear you’re in the market for some prime office space?” “Yes I am, and your husband came highly recommended.” She said tilting her sunglasses for a better view, “I have a few prime locations that I would love to show you.” “Let’s have some lunch first and then we can see the properties.” “It’s, however, you want to do this I’m yours for the afternoon.” She said still checking me out. “That sounds great, waiter we are ready to order.” I couldn’t take my eyes off her. She was stunning.  Her rose colored Chanel suit fit her like a glove. She ordered a salad and a glass of wine.

“Mr. Jacobs are you married?”  “No I’m not, but maybe one day.” I answered. “My husband said you recently purchased a large home in Beverly Hills, but you used another realtor.” “Yes I did, but that’s before I found out about Fox.” “I’m sorry to hear that.” “I might have gotten you a better deal.” I said, “Maybe, but I think the deal I got was fair.” We finished our lunch and went on to the first property.

The first one was small for the price, but she informed me it was the location.  The only thing I could think about was what was under her skirt. Her beige five inch red bottoms clicking on the tiled floors were a definite turn on. “Mr. Jacob’s what do you think?” “Oh.., I think it’s a bit smaller than I expected.” “Well I have a few more after this, and they may suit your taste better.” This woman was flirting with me in a subtle, but seductive way.

Ok, this was the game she wanted to play? When we arrived at the third property, I knew I wasn’t imagining things. I ran my finger slightly down her arm, and she gasped. “Is there something you want Mrs. Fox,” and I pressed my body close to hers. “What do you mean Mr. Jacobs?” “You know exactly what I mean Mrs. Fox.”

I kissed her and ran my hands up her skirt touching her, she was moist from anticipation.  “That’s what I mean.” “You’ve wanted me all day, am I right?” “Yes, but I can’t I’m married.”  Who’s going to tell?” “I’m not.”

I laid her across the big oak desk and entered her gently. She was tight at first, but she loosened with every stroke of my hardness. 

She moved with the rhythm of my every stroke and climaxed almost instantly. I nibbled at her now exposed breast, as she squirmed beneath me. “Now you will pleasure me my way,” I said. I moved her from the desk to her knees before me. She wraps her full red lips around me. I placed my hand behind her head, and she sucks me to my climax. I fell back on the desk catching my breath. “That was spectacular Mrs. Fox, and I hope your husband appreciates you.”

After our encounter, Shelia was one of my loyal customers, but she was demanding. She paid me extremely well, and my lease was on the house.  Well I wouldn’t say it was free, because she wanted sex every time she came to my office.

“Stephora I’m home baby, where are you?” She replied, “I’m in the kitchen so get cleaned up, because I’m almost done with dinner.”
