“Yes, Blaze is yours,” I confirm in a soft voice. “He was conceived during our time at the cabin together. I didn’t know I was pregnant at the time, Christian. I swear it.”
To my surprise, there are tears in the billionaire’s eyes, and as I watch, he raises one big hand to dash them from his cheek.
“My son,” he rasps hoarsely again. “I have a child.”
I nod once more, this time leading Christian from the room before quietly shutting the door behind us. Then, I turn to the mountain man while taking a deep breath.
“I can explain,” I begin.
The massive alpha male looms over me, his expression curling into a harsh snarl.
“You better,” he grinds out. “Because I might still kill you myself, Emily. Now talk.”

Christian
She’s even more beautiful than I remember. Emily’s golden hair is tied up in a messy bun, and her face is free of make-up. But her features are delicate and innocent, and those pink lips utterly kissable. Her body’s hidden behind loose clothes, yet I can still make out her enormous breasts, as well as that round rear end and thick thighs. I long to bite her in her most sensitive spots, making her scream with pleasure, before licking those same spots to soothe her pain.
But first, the golden girl needs to explain how the fuck we got here. How she survived the fire, and why she never looked for me, much less told me about our son.
“Start talking,” I bite out, trying not to shout. “Don’t leave anything out.”
She takes a deep breath and fixes me with a look.
“Okay, but can you sit first? It makes me nervous to have you looming in this small space, and your head’s almost touching the ceiling. Just sit.”
I have half a mind to sit down and then pull her over my lap for a spanking on that round backside, but I manage to stop myself and sit, albeit ungraciously. Emily’s right. This trailer is a piece of shit, and far too small for my son. It looks to be held together by duct tape and super glue, what with the cracked windows and faded linoleum.
But there’s time for that later.
“Start talking,” I rasp, my expression furious. “Don’t stop until it’s done.”
Emily’s blue eyes spark at my command, but she pulls out a chair for herself at the rickety two-person dining table and crosses her legs.
“So I escaped the fire,” she begins.
“I can see that,” I snark.
The blonde throws me a hateful look, her chin trembling.
“Do you mind? Give me a chance to tell my story, okay?”
“Be my guest,” I retort in a nasty tone. Emily’s fists grip together in a tight squeeze, but then she audibly exhales before relaxing her fingers.
“I drove your truck downtown,” she begins. “But the road was blocked. I can’t remember what was blocking it because I was so panicked, and there was fire everywhere. Maybe a tree. Maybe a light pole. I don’t know. But I got out of the car and ran for the lake. You know that downtown is only a few hundred feet from the shores of Lake Tahoe, and that’s what saved me. I jumped into the water, and treaded water for as long as I could. It was scary, Christian. The flames came all the way to the edge of the lake, and embers were shooting everywhere. My arms and legs felt numb because the water was freezing, and I thought I was going to die.”
I shoot her a glare.
“You got into a freezing lake with my baby in your belly?”
She shoots me an icy look right back.
“I didn’t know I was pregnant then,” she bites out bitterly. “We’d only been fucking for a little while, so how could I have known? But some first responders finally came, and they managed to haul me from the water. I was suffering from hypothermia, shock, and a host of other things, and they put me into an ambulance and took me to the hospital straightway. I was there for a while, Christian. A couple weeks in fact, and it was there that the doctors informed me I was pregnant.”
I squint.
“It had only been a couple weeks. Can they tell so fast?”
Emily deflates a little.
“I guess so because Blaze was already growing in me. But right, I found out about the baby and panicked. I admit that, Christian, and I’m sorry. But we also weren’t using protection, so you knew there was a possibility. Yes, you came in my ass a lot. Yes, you pulled out before coming in my pussy, but even one drop is enough, and it happened. I got pregnant, and I had your baby in secret.”
This is where the pedal hits the metal. My fists clench on my thighs as I pin her with an accusing look.
