Her breath hitches before she lets it out slowly. I grunt, gripping her waist tighter, holding her against me. I lightly brush my mouth against hers, then move my lips across her jaw to her ear before I speak.

“Maverick,” she exhales, and my cock hardens, my balls ache.

I need her. I need to be inside her. I’m not sure how much longer I can hold off. I’m ready to rip her clothes off right here in the middle of the goddamn grass. Lifting my head, I look into her eyes, wishing there were more light so I could tell what color they are.

“We shouldn’t do this,” she whispers.

“Yeah?” I ask.

She smiles. “But I want to. I want to be bad.”

Fuck. Yes.

That’s all she needs to say.

Reaching down, I pick her up. She wraps her legs around my waist, and I walk her straight to my guest room at the clubhouse. I eat her. I fuck her. Lose my fucking head to her. Zadie is fucking perfection personified, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, my brother doesn’t fuck a woman with me, and I don’t want him to, either.

CHAPTER ONE

ZADIE

PRESENT DAY

“What haven’t you told me?” Sable demands.

I know what I haven’t told her, and I thought I could go my whole life without saying the words—without anyone knowing. I’m embarrassed, not because ofhim, but myself. I did what I did with a complete stranger, and now I’m suffering the consequences.

I’ve successfully been able to keep it all a secret for the past three months. I’m not sure I can any longer, though, because I’m going to need her help on this. And soon enough, it will be blatantly obvious to the entire world, not just to her.

“I’m pregnant,” I blurt out.

She stares at me, her eyes wide as she watches me. She doesn’t say anything, just stares at me. I don’t know what to say.What to do. I don’t know how much longer I’ll be able to hide this.

I’m in deep shit.

My dad is going to find out, and when he does… all those years of following the rules, of being a good girl, of doing everything the right way, the way he wanted me to do them, it’s all out the window.

He's going to hate me.

I screwed some guy I didn’t even know… with zero protection. A complete stranger. The one and only time I did something wild, a bit dangerous, and completely out of character, it changed the trajectory of my entire life.

I know I should regret it too, but it was amazing. He was amazing, and while I’m embarrassed, I’ll never forget how much I loved every second of it. And I’ll probably never stop dreaming of it, either.

“How?” Sable demands.

She seems suspicious. She knows my background, knows every guy I’ve ever had a crush on, every guy I’ve ever kissed, and definitely every guy I’ve had sex with, of which the list is extremely short, except for this one.

I never told her.

Pinching my eyes closed, I cover my face with my hands as I shake my head a couple of times. There is silence for a moment... A long moment. I can feel her staring at me, but I ignore it because what the actual fuck?

How did this happen?

How. Did. It. Happen?

“I broke the rules,” I whisper.

Releasing my hands, I place them in my lap, opening my eyes as I lift my head to look up at her. She is watching me, her eyes wide as she stares. I don’t know if she even realizes that I can seethe judgment in her expression. Maybe there isn’t any judgment at all. Maybe it’s all me.
