A Bundle of Joy 4: Secret Baby Seduction (BWWM Interracial Romance)
another man, her boss. It’d been the shock of his life. Then, he’d sworn off women completely.
    Dayna however, forced him to quickly revisit that particular resolution. He glanced at her as she stared out of the window. He would bet his life that she’d never cheat on him. She was a mujer fiel , a faithful woman. She wasn’t the sort who’d be dishonest in a relationship. If she got enough of him, her likely attitude would be to toss him out but only after a heart-to-heart talk. He couldn’t imagine the wonderful Dayna ever breaking his heart. “So, how does it feel to be back in the city?”
    She turned to gaze at him and her lips lifted in a smile. “It’s good, but also—slightly painful.”
    “Painful?”
    Dayna glanced away in an evasive manner as if she’d said something she didn’t want to explain. “I guess that was an odd word. What I meant was that being back has opened a floodgate of memories, made me question old decisions...” She trailed off.
    “What decisions? Not our break-up. I mean, I think about that too, but given that situation, there was little else we could’ve done.” Parking the car, Aron opened the door and got out.
    Before he could go to the other side, she’d already stepped out. “Not that,” she said, falling into step beside him. “But I do regret—devoting so much time to my work. At that time, it felt exciting to travel, to see the world, to be in these beautiful, exotic and often dangerous situations, but now...I wonder if I let go of something beautiful to achieve all that.”
    “You don’t like your work anymore?” It was a hot but windy day, so Aron pulled out his sunglasses and slipped them on as he led the way to a restaurant.
    “I loved my work until a few weeks ago—but I guess it’s lost some of its appeal.”
    “You’re ready for a change,” he predicted as they stepped inside the cool interior. The Italian place had five star reviews on the internet and Aron pre-booked a table. They cut through the long queue when he gave his name and were led to their corner table. “Maybe you’re ready for the next great adventure of your life?” he said after he’d helped Dayna get seated and then took his own seat.
    Dayna collected the menu from the waiter. Pushing back the sunglasses up on top of her head, she eyed him with curiosity. “Adventure? What kind of an adventure?”
    “For starters, you could move to London with me where I’m based most of the year. It’s a lovely place, muy bonito .”
    “Move with you?” A gleam of panic roiled in her eyes but dissipated when he grinned. “Oh!” She punched him lightly on his arm. “You’re joking.”
    “Am I?”
    “Stop it!” she ordered with a smile. The waiter came back and she placed her order. “What I really have a hankering for is an order of fries.”
    Aron laughed. He ordered shrimp sautéed with tomatoes, garlic and white wine, served with linguini and vegetables. After the waiter left, he leaned forward. “Fries?”
    “I can’t ever resist French Fries,” she admitted.
    “I remember you eating them by the bucketful in high school,” he recalled.
    Dayna sighed. “Well, back then, I could eat a horse and not gain weight, but now things are different. So, I eat salad to cut the calories and have the French Fries to indulge myself.”
    “It makes a wonderful sort of sense,” he agreed, happy to see that gleam back in her eyes. For reasons he couldn’t understand, she seemed to be ill at ease in his company. If he didn’t know any better, he would have suspected that she was keeping something to herself and it was making her uncomfortable. The Dayna he once knew had never been able to hide things well. He felt sure that she hadn’t changed all that much in the succeeding years. “And what would dessert qualify as?”
    “A necessity,” she answered with a poker face. When he burst out laughing, she joined him. “I suppose it’s cheating, but we only get to live once and I
