"Maybe I'll keep you guessing if I'd say yes or not," Delilah offered with a sly smile.

Donovan chuckled and took her by the hand, leading her back to their bedroom.

"I wouldn't doubt it now. Look what you put me through the last two hours."

"I'd never really be like you, Donnie. It's hard for me not to give in to you."

"That's why you need to find that fire in you, Delilah. If it turns you on to make me beg then so be it. We're a couple and we satisfy each other's needs."

Delilah was practically melting into him as they showered and went to sleep, but not before Donovan texted his boys while watching Delilah check the monitor one more time.

Drifting off into slumber, Delilah was plagued by the past.

Everytime she'd close her eyes, she'd see Brett and Miranda or he children crying over what their father had done to her.

Her shuffling woke up Donovan who turned on the lamp beside the bed. Tears were streaming down Delilah's face, but she wasn't awake yet.

"No..." she whimpered, eliciting a pain inside of Donavan's heart,"No, please.. stop..."

"Delilah.." Donovan stroked her cheek, causing his queen to stir as her eyes slowly fluttered open, "Are you alright?"

She gazed up at him with a confused look.

"I... I think I was having a nightmare."

"Do you remember it?"

"No, I'm so sorry if I woke you up."

Donovan smiled and cut off the light before curling up next to her again.

"If you want to talk, let me know. I'm always an ear for you, my love."

—-----

Delilah remembered all of her dreams, but she didn't want to worry Donovan with them.

They were simply dreams that never went away, nightmares of sleepless nights when Brett would be in a mood or she would be forced to see Miranda again and again, knowing she was sleeping with her husband.

Breakfast was hearty with a buffet of foods, from cereal to quiche, muffins to steak.

Butlers and housekeepers came bustling in and out of the dining room while the children argued about the day's adventures.

"Well, I think boating and the beach should be on our list for today," Delilah offered, having already spoken to Donovan about his schedule for them.

"Yeah!!" Isaiah said, "A big boat?!"

"A decent sized boat," Donovan winked, "We'll be able to get ready and head out to the marina as soon as you're all, -"

"Done!"

Delilah sighed,"All of you are done? Ezra, you barely touched your, -"

"Yes, ma'am! We're all done," Isaiah spoke for the group, "Can we go get our swimsuits on?"

Delilah nodded and motioned for them to leave, much to the joy of her children.

She smiled at Donovan who called for the breakfast table to be cleaned.

"They are the best," Delilah said as she thanked the butlers and other servants, "Always smiling."

"You're always smiling," Donovan told her as they watched Beatrice scurry to the bathroom, "That's what I love about you, even through the storms you are my calm."

"Then we're a match made in Heaven," Delilah said,"The kids are oddly quiet. They usually fight over the bathroom."

Donovan nodded,"Before we were ever in the Boston house, the boys shared a bathroom and that was quite an adventure."

"Are they, -"

Donovan pulled her along to their bedroom to dress and gather belongings.

"I'm happy the children were alright with the day's schedule," Donovan admitted, "It's been so long since I arranged family gatherings and events. Feels good.."

Delilah smiled, "Yes, it does."

"Is this alright to wear?" Delilah held up a suit, but also a sundress she would wear over it

Donovan nodded, "Dubai is conservative, but they're pretty lenient towards tourists and the like."

"Well, all of us are pretty modest in the family, unless I'm in the Red Room," Delilah winked as Donovan's cock twitched just thinking about it.

"You really must know that I brought more than those vibrators."

Delilah nodded, "Oh, I've seen what you brought, Donnie! I can't wait!"

"Cuffs and lotions and candles and rope," he said, "The Embassy has my back when it comes to customs in the country."

"It would have to," Delilah laughed, "Naughty in all parts of the world."

"Delilah..." Donovan growled when he caught sight of her naked body coming into view.

Bending over, he got the best few of her asshole and pussy, feeling the incredible urge to sink his cock all the way into her and claim her.

He stepped forward just in time for her to turn around and give him a kiss on the lips.

"Always thinking about us, Donnie? I know I do..."

"Delilah Dixon.. has a nice ring to it, yeah?"

Delilah blushed and shook her head,"Of course it does and I can't wait until that's my last name."

"Unless I take yours... or we take each other's..."

"Rivers-Dixon, or Dixon-Rivers?"

Donovan shrugged,"I actually like both."

Delilah wrapped her arms around him and melted,"You're going to be the best husband, my king."

She was just about to say that else when something caught her eye on the monitor.

"Who is that??! Are the butlers and housekeepers still here?!" Delilah rushed out the door and down the stairs,"Someone is with my children!"

All of her nightmares of Miranda and Brett taking her children... all of the times she thought Brett would kill them all were rushing over her. She didn't even hear Donovan call out to her when she flung open the living room doors and gasped.

"Oh... my goodness!!!"

"Surprise!" Julie exclaimed as she stood next to Jason, who was playing thumb war with Ezra, "Your new nannies have arrived!"
