“What?” Sienna gasps. “What issue? Are you okay?”

“Yeah,” Ellie says softly. “I have pregnancy anemia. I didn’t even know I was pregnant. I got dizzy during practice for the showcase...”

“You said it was canceled.” Sienna pouts.

“I didn’t want you to come,” Ellie admits. “I knew if you came to see me, you’d take one look at me and know I was pregnant, so I lied to keep you away. About the showcase, the job, not being able to attend graduation. I’ve told so many lies, and I’m so sorry. It feels like everything has spun out of control, and I don’t know how to fix any of it.”

Sienna sighs. “Are you okay now? Is the baby okay?”

“Yeah,” Ellie tells her with a small smile. “I’m taking prenatal vitamins and iron supplements. Because of how far along I was, they were able to tell me the gender. I’m having a little boy.”

Sienna smiles and gives her sister a hug. “Congratulations! How far along are you?”

“A little over three months. I’m due November 21st.”

“Eek!” Sienna squeals. “Our babies will only be three months apart! Obviously, we don’t know if we’re having a boy or girl yet, since we like to be surprised, but it won’t matter. Our babies will grow up together and be best friends. How cool is that?” She turns to Micah, whose face is devoid of all emotion, andshe drops her smile, suddenly remembering the elephant in the room.

“Oh, shit,” Sienna murmurs. “You’re pregnant...with Lincoln’s baby.”

“Yeah, she is,” I agree, wondering where we go from here.

Ellie’s emerald eyes meet mine—eyes I’ve been fantasizing about—and I suddenly can’t breathe. Because she might be several years younger than me and off limits, but that doesn’t change the fact that I fucked her...several goddamn times. I ate her sweet cunt and feasted on her perfect tits. I held her and talked with her and...Fuck! She was my mystery woman. No, notwas...sheis.She’s the woman I’ve been searching for, hell-bent on finding. She broke my goddamn cock.

“Lincoln,” Ellie says gently, carefully, not wanting to poke the beast. “What are you thinking?”

“I’m thinking about how I was determined to find the woman whom I thought was ‘the one.’ My mystery woman. I didn’t think I’d ever find her.” I wave my hand toward her. “I guess the joke was on me.” I snort out a harsh laugh. “Because even though she’s standing right in front of me, the truth is, she never existed.”

Ellie opens her mouth to say something—what, I don’t know—but I can’t take another moment of being in the same room as her, so I raise my hand to stop her and then stalk out, slamming the door behind me.

Instead of taking the elevator, I take the steps, needing to burn off the raw emotions coursing through my veins. When I get to my car, I go straight to Elite without thinking, with only one purpose in mind: needing to fuck that woman right out of my head.

Only it’s easier said than done. Because when I get there and find a willing participant, I realize far too quickly that my cock doesn’t want this woman.

He wants the woman with the green eyes.

Who smells like vanilla.

With the chocolate and caramel hair.

And perfect, luscious tits.

As I sit in my office and stare at the grainy image of the mystery woman, who I now know is Eliza Bardot, I realize I’m screwed. Because despite the fact that she’s too young, too off-limits, and that she fucked up big time, I still want to feel her under me, on top of me. I want to inhale her sweet scent, taste her delicious cunt. Sink into her body and get lost in her.

And now, instead of running the fuck away from her, in a few months, I’m going to have a baby with her.

“Figured I’d find you here,” Micah says, walking into my office and sitting across from me. “You okay?”

“No,” I tell him honestly.

“What can I do?”

I drop the picture onto the desk and look at him. “You can tell me that I’m an idiot.”

“You didn’t know.”

“No, not because of that.”

“Then why?”
