Diane was glad that Marie dropped the questions about the door. Diane wasn't going to give her much information. She didn't even know what story she was supposed to spin about what happened. She needed Rich for that. He always had good stories to explain things away. Diane nodded her head to Marie. Eating sounded good. It had been a while since she ate.<br/><br/>"Yeah, you're right."<br/><br/>Things would make more sense once she ate. Diane thought it would seem odd if she just let Marie watch her eat.<br/><br/>"Are you originally from Paris?"<br/><br/>She asked, trying to strike up a conversation.<br/><br/>--------------------------------<br/><br/>Martin told himself, even as he led Pierre into the bedroom, one time was all they would have. Back home, in LA, he'd find someone to replace Paul. Pierre wouldn't be filling that void in his life. He'd hire another bodyguard. Let Diane have someone in the house too. She had needs and Martin would never be able to meet them.<br/><br/>Maybe she'd be into a guy who looked enough like him, that if she got pregnant, everyone would believe the kid belonged to Martin. Yeah, that would work, Martin thought. Kids...that was what started the stupid fight to begin with. When he pushed Pierre onto the bed, thoughts of Diane and future kids, were pushed out of his mind too.<br/><br/>All Martin cared about what he wanted and making sure that he and Pierre had a good time. After all, it was only going to be one time. Might as well make it a really good memory. Luckily for Pierre, Martin was a more giving lover then his agent was with the Lady. He actually wanted to make sure his partner would enjoy themselves as well. Martin got pleasure from making his partner feel good.<br/><br/>--------------------------------<br/><br/>Rich didn't see any harm with a vacation fling. It wasn't like he'd ever see the Lady again when he got home. If she did arrive in Hollywood, he'd claimed to have never known her. Tell Mary or Raquel, which ever woman the Italian found him with, that he had no idea who she was. She was probably just trying to go after him because of their wealth. It wouldn't be the first time he had used that excuse.<br/><br/>Rich smiled when the Lady said she'd miss him. Of course, she would, he thought. He had given her the time of her life. He was certain she'd think of him fondly for years to come. Perhaps imagine him when she was with another man. He definitely enjoyed looking at her body.<br/><br/>"I may take you up on that."<br/><br/>Rich replied with a happily smile on his face. He might be with her as much as he could for the rest of the vacation. Although he did have work to do. He couldn't forget that Martin and Diane Hayes had to have a very romantic time here in grand old Paris.<br/><br/>--------------------------------<br/><br/>Paul wasn't sure what he should do. Today had a been a day from hell. He learned what Martin had truly thought of him. God...he was such a fool. He had thought he and Martin had been in love. His feelings had been true and now he saw that Martin lied to everyone in his life. Martin Hayes lied to himself. What to do about Diane? She might have worked for Rich but she wasn't a bad person. Her heart was in good place. She didn't deserve to be hit. Although he doubted he could convince her to leave. Maybe Shane could...<br/><br/>Paul didn't know the other man very well, but his love for Diane was clear. Maybe if he and Shane worked together, they could get Diane to leave. Blackmail Martin...Why not? Rich Porter had blackmailed so many other people. It would destroy Martin's career if it came out that he hit women. Almost as bad as what his sexual preferences were. Paul didn't want to play dirty handed if he didn't have to, but he felt he was running out of options.<br/><br/>Martin was right, Paul did have to play a hero at times. He couldn't just sit by and do nothing. Not when Diane could be in danger. If a man hit a woman once, there was nothing to stop him from doing it again. And if Diane ever had a kid...Paul, wouldn't be able to live with himself if something terrible happened to her when he could have stopped it.
