“El Devine.”

I quirk a brow. The last time I was there I was with Emilia and Meredith having the time of my life. Not pregnant and drunk.The last time he was there, a beautiful perky blonde woman was savoring the taste of him on her lips.

“With another blonde on your arm?” I tease.

He groans and his muscles go rigid.

“Don’t question my loyalty to you. No one has ever come close to the woman that you are. I’m not a liar. I’ve always been honest with you. I've been brutally blunt with them every single girl before you, with what I want and who I am. I never promised them anything but Ari…I promise you,you won’t ever have to worry about me being faithful to you.”

A fire ignites inside my chest. When we first met that’s all I’ve been getting. Raw honesty. He means what he says.

“I was with Lopez and Kane.” His fingers trail from my breasts to my small bump and he palms it. "How's my boy cooking in there?" He whispers.

I smile with sparkles in my eyes.

"It could be a girl, you know?"

He chuckles.

"All my swimmers are future Navy SEAL men like me."

I shake my head, rolling my eyes.

"Or princesses. I have some pictures of the ultrasou—" I cut myself off as the realization creeps into me and my heart sinks. The problem of Shane, still here.Shit.The past few days have been absolute insanity and I almost forgot that I have a psychotic ex-boyfriend who wants me dead.

My body stiffens and Danny notices.

"What's wrong Ari? Where are the pictures?”

Shit. I shouldn't hide this any longer from him.

I breathe deeply, sighing.

"It's Shane." I can't face Danny so I stay on my side staring at his nightstand in the darkness.

"He's been terrorizing me non-stop since he saw me with you at the coffee shop... when I came back home, he's been breaking into my house and leaving me threatening messages..."

Danny freezes and my heart pounds in my chest.

"What kind of messages?" Danny growls enraged, his voice deeper than I've ever heard it before. I close my eyes shut.

"Well one, and I don't know how he knows this, but he knows you and I had sex. And he knows I'm pregnant. He found the pictures of my ultrasound from one of my doctors' appointments and tore them. He also..." I breathe unable to finish.

"He what?" He spits.

"My hair's short because he cut it off in my sleep. I woke up to locks of my hair falling out." I tremble.

Danny vanishes away from me so fast I can't even blink. I turn on the light.

The lamp reveals Danny throwing on clothes. He starts with his boxers and then his jeans.

"What are you doing? Where are you going?"

"I'm going to fucking kill him."

I shake my head, my eyes bulging.

"No, Danny! The cops are already on it. I've reported it. The military police are already looking for him. He deserted the Marines and he's been missing for some time now."
