“Maybe he couldn’t authenticate it, but once I realized who you really were it didn’t matter,” he suddenly blurts out, tossing his breakfast aside. “At that point it could all be settled by the DNA test, so that’s what we did next. Fuck it all fits!” he says springing right out of his chair.

“Is everything okay, Sir?” a startled waiter turns and asks.

“Everything is great, but we need a bottle of champagne.” He turns back to check for my approval.

“Hey, I definitely think we should toast to our combined genius.” It might even dampen my headache just a bit.

Trey looks like a cat that just swallowed a goldfish as we sit in the gorgeous sunshine, sipping delicious champagne and finish our breakfast. It’s good to see him in a better mood after the darkness of the past several days. I feel my temperature begin to rise when he slips his hand under the table, begins to caress my leg and gives me that seductive smile of his. I’m hoping he can turn off the security cameras in whatever airplane we are taking back to New York. It could be a hot and steamy trip.

Chapter 6

Mandy

As soon as we board the jet, Trey heads right to the back, grabs a seat and gets on his phone. He mentioned that he wants to talk to Jürgen and Jake to make sure they were both onboard with our newly devised plan. It gives me a chance to call my parents and let them know that I am coming home for a visit. I need to get something that resembles documentation from my father, as well as spend some quality time with Mom. Maybe I’ll take her out for a special day trip.

“Mandy, how are you? Is everything okay?” Dad asks after answering Mom’s phone.

“I’m good. I’m coming home for a few days before I go back to California,” I inform him.

“Really? What prompted this?” he asks nervously.

Even though I wanted to let him have both barrels, I manage to keep my cool. “I just want to spend some time with Mom. I have been feeling bad about not being home for so long.”

“Oh, yes, she would definitely enjoy seeing you. When will you get here?” he asks, sounding relieved after hearing my agenda.

“I’m going to try get there by early tomorrow afternoon,” I reply, hopeful that I’m able to secure a flight. “I’ll rent a car at the airport so you don’t have to worry about picking me up.”

“Actually, you and I should have a little talk before you see your mother,” he says in a more somber tone. “Just let me know where to pick you up.”

“Okay,” I reply, suddenly feeling butterflies in my stomach. “Is she okay?”

“She’s stable,” he says unconvincingly. “But I just don’t want you to be shocked by her appearance.”

“Okay, I’ll call you once I know my flight information. Bye Dad.” My heart sinks as I hang up the phone and begin thinking about her. Now I really regret not visiting since last Christmas, it’s just been so busy with the new job and all. A tear rolls down my cheek and I begin reflecting on the good times I had with her right after moving to Tennessee. We would go out exploring almost every afternoon because she was trying to distract me from being so homesick.

“What’s wrong?” Trey asks after seeing my tear stained face.

“Mom isn’t doing very well. I’m a little nervous about seeing her tomorrow. Tickets are only about a thousand bucks if I can fly out at six am tomorrow morning, the later ones are quite a bit more,” I tell him while scrolling through the available flights on my phone.

“I have a better app for that.” He pulls out his phone and gives me a wink. “How close are you to the Tullahoma airport?”

“About a ten minute drive, why?”

“Because they have a fifty five hundred foot runway, so you can take a Citation X. You can go tonight if you want,” he offers. “Do you want me to reserve one?”

“How much does that cost?”

“Don’t worry about it,” he says with a look of disgust crossing his face. “You are doing to do me a huge favor, so the least I can do is make sure you have a decent flight.”

“Wow, thank you. If I leave tonight it will give me a little more time with Mom too.” I lean over, giving him a kiss.

“There is only one Citation available at LaGuardia this evening so I’m going to grab it for you.” He clicks a few buttons on his phone. “After we land I’ll make sure you get boarded and headed for home. Do you need a car in Tennessee?”

“No, Dad wants to pick me up.” As if I wasn’t hot enough already, my passion begins to boil over as I watch him arranging the details of my trip. “Did you get everything squared away with Jürgen and Jake?” I ask, trying to distract my mind away from sex for a moment.
