week, then made love to her, honeymoon style. He hadn’t made
love to a woman since Teresa and had to admit now that he missed
the connection of being this close, this intimate with a woman. But
still, that didn’t mean he wanted anything long term, because that
wouldn’t work out in his mind. It never did, so there was no need
in starting over.
He did, however, enjoy the time he spent
with Kamila. She was younger than him, but she was carefree and fun
to be with. And feeling her naked body against his made him feel
whole again, like she was the missing piece of his life. And for
the first time in a long time, he could rest and feel happy and
wanted, even though he knew a relationship is not what he wanted –
at least not now.
~ Chapter Eight ~
Kamila closed her eyes and dreamed about being with him, not just
for a few days on a cruise ship but permanently – visiting his
home, meeting his family and being his woman. But he’d made it
clear that he wasn’t interested in a relationship. She couldn’t
tell that by the way he made love to her – so tender, passionate
and personal. And he was a family man. She always wanted a family. She wanted a
family with Tony, but he was busy planning a family with another
woman.
With his arms around her petite frame,
Donovan thought about how good this felt. This is what he needed.
But fear held him back from trying to pursue a relationship with
Kamila. And though he didn’t want to, though he had one of the best
love-making experiences of his life and though he enjoyed every
crazy moment he spent with Kamila on this cruise, he made the
decision then and there that he would stay true to his word. He
wouldn’t see her again after the cruise was over and that was
that.
~ Chapter Nine ~
One month later, Kamila found herself back into her
regular routine of working. The cruise seemed like a distant
memory, but the time she spent with Donovan didn’t. She’d gotten
married to the man, still wore the ring he’d bought for her and
could still feel his hands on her body. She hadn’t heard from him,
not that she expected to. He didn’t bother giving her any contact
information, so she didn’t give him any of her contact information.
She did, however, find him on Facebook, staring at his profile
picture, one showcasing that perfect smile she loved so much. She
thought about sending him a private message but refused. A man knew
when he wanted a woman. If he really wanted her, he would’ve
found a way to contact her somehow.

Sitting at a bar after work, Kamila braced herself
for Lori’s arrival. She was caressing a glass of Moscato, twirling
the ring on her finger – the ring Donovan had given her. Why on
earth was she still wearing it?
She fantasized about the idea of him going above and
beyond to track her down and proclaim his love – things she’d seen
on Lifetime movies. But soon, she realized that Donovan was true to
his word. He didn’t want a relationship. He told her that from
jump. Still, she believed she could change him and their
spur-of-the-moment cruise ship marriage would work out in the end.
Wishful thinking...
“Hey, girl, “Lori said, squeezing Kamila from
behind.
“Hey,” Kamila said dryly. “’Bout time you got
here.”
“I was stuck in traffic.” Lori sat on the bar stool
next to her. “So what’s up? I haven’t had a chance to talk to you
since the cruise. What’s been going on gal?”
“Nothing. Just working. Other than that, nothing’s
changed.”
“What’s that you’re drinking?”
“Moscato.”
“Is it good?”
“Yeah. It’s straight.”
“Okay. I’ma order a glass.” Lori waved the bartender
her way, ordered a glass of Moscato and took a sip. “Mmm. This is
delicious.”
“I told you it was.” Kamila took a sip. “So how’s
life in the real estate world?” she asked Lori. Lori had a degree
in business administration and once deciding she wanted to be in
