David is getting big,” he added as an
afterthought.
“I can’t believe that he’s almost a year old
already,” Tristan said.

“Believe it. He’s the cutest little thing—
light-brown skin, chubby cheeks and full head
of dark, curly hair…He’s a heart stopper.”
Brandon smiled. “He favors both David and
Nadia.”
“You’re okay with being his godfather
after…you know…what happened?” Tristan
asked.
“Absolutely. In fact, I think I love him
more for it,” Brandon responded.
“Okay brothers I’m out,” Sinjin said,
slapping his hands together.
“Yeah, me too,” Tristan said.
Brandon walked both of them to the door
and saw them out. Sinjin was still trying to talk
Tristan into asking Alisha about Asia. Oh man,
Brandon couldn’t even imagine Sinjin with Asia
in any way, shape, or form. After Tristan and
Sinjin left, Brandon finished getting dressed,
packed his case and headed out. No sense in
staying here any longer, he thought. But he was
glad he had talked to his brothers. He felt as if
he had dropped off a five-hundred pound
weight.
CHAPTER SEVEN
Bone-tired and sore, Dominique sat at
her desk. “Oh God,” she groaned. She hurt in
places she’d forgotten existed. After she’d left
Brandon yesterday, she’d gone straight to her
townhouse and fallen asleep. Dominique was
tired both emotionally and physically. Her
weekend with Brandon had been a great one. It
reminded her of the old times she and Brandon
had shared. Days filled with fun and laughter
before life took over.
Dominique had to admit that for the first
time in a long while, she was happy. “I just
hope that I don’t have to do much walking
today. My pussy lips are so swollen, I had to
sleep with a warm towel between my legs,”
Dominique whispered. The pounding Brandon
had given her felt so good at the time. However,
she wished they would have saved some of that
energy for another day, because she was surely
paying the price for the rough sex now. The
shrill sound of her cell phone ringing brought
Dominique back to the present. Reaching for
her phone and looking at the caller ID, she
quickly answered.

“Hey, you,” she chirped.
“Hey, baby, how you are feeling this
morning?” she heard Brandon say in his
cheerful voice.
“The same as last night, as you very well
know. God Brandon, I can barely walk
straight.”
Dominique heard Brandon’s boisterous
laughter through the receiver.
“It’s not funny, Brandon. Seriously, I am
a mess this morning. Not only can I not walk
properly, I had to wear a sleeveless semi-
turtleneck to the office today just to cover the
passion marks on my neck.” Brandon laughed
harder. “Stop laughing!” Dominique snapped,
and then started to chuckle herself.
“I’m sorry, baby, but since I didn’t have
court today, I didn’t bother to cover the one you
left on me. It’s there for the entire world to see
that Brandon Cameron is taken. I’m glad we
had that time together, Dominique. We needed
it. I missed having you in my arms last night,”
Brandon said.
Dominique caught her breath. Brandon
never ceased to amaze her. He actually wanted
people to see that he was taken. She couldn’t
have asked God for a better husband. He’d

already given her the best there was in her
opinion. Now she needed to be the wife that
Brandon needed. “I missed being in your arms,
too. I can’t wait to see you this weekend,
Brandon,” Dominique murmured into the
phone.
“Nor I you. That’s why you, wife, need to
do whatever it is to get better, because I plan on
keeping you on your back this weekend as
well,” he mocked-threatened.
“Not if I get you on yours first,” was her
sassy reply.
“Oh, it’s like that, huh?” he chuckled.
“Yes, it is. I plan on putting a hurting on
you when I see you, husband of mine,” she
teased.
