Y&R: If/when Deacon finds out about Nikki?

I think that Deacon really cares for Nikki and is surprised himself by that, and he is protecting her from Meggie, he ought to go on and tell Nikki about his and Meggie's plan and how he fell for her, just get it out on the table, it'll be much worse if she hears it from Meggie, she will be devastated and feel betrayed. I don't really think it would upset deacon to know that Nikki and Victor slept together, he knows about their long torturous relationship.
