He claimed to be away on business but was secretly cavorting with Odessa at the same inn.
What he didn't expect was that while he and Odessa were making a racket, I was enjoying my own intimate moments with Matias.
"Matias, you scoundrel!" Clayton's furious voice resonated through the phone.
"Tell me your location! I'm coming to confront you right now!"
Matias grinned provocatively, his tone oozing sarcasm. "If you've got the courage, come right ahead."
