The hotel room, arranged and paid for by the Titans’ media rep, is quiet except for the soft hum of the air conditioner and the faint noise of traffic below.

My heels are sprawled on the floor. They are black, five-inch high, red-bottomed Louboutins that were supposed to crush Jaxon’s ego today.

Instead of crushing anyone, I shook in them as I practically ran from Jaxon.

Just like I’ve been shaking as I stare at the mirror on the other end of the room.

My nose is red. My makeup is smu

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 12

    "Mommy, that was the best ice cream in the whole world!" Harry announces, bouncing on his toes as he grips my hand tightly.I can still see traces of chocolate chip cookie dough around his mouth from the cone we shared in the park just before coming into the mall.Chuckling, I swing our joined hands gently as we walk through the aisles of one of my favorite clothing stores.Freda says I come to this store because they are the cheapest, and while she’s not wrong, I also come here because they have almost everything, ranging from my size to Harry’s."You liked the ice cream that much, baby?" I feign surprise, like I can’t see it in the way his blue eyes twinkle."Mhm! Like...a million gazillion, Mommy!" He bounces again, the sugar rush clearly still affecting him. "Can I get another one when we're done shopping?""We'll see. Remember what happened last time when you had two ice creams in one day?” I ask moving the racks to some of the clothes in Harry’s size.Harry holds my hand tighte

    Natalie "So, Natalie. Can I call you Natalie? What I'm really curious about is whether you're single, because I've been thinking we could grab dinner and discuss my...athletic performance in more detail."Oh brother.I mentally roll my eyes while keeping my expression professionally neutral.Believe it or not, out of all the players I've interviewed so far, Jake Morrison has been the most entertaining and the goofiest. It’s odd for a guy who's a Dallas Titans wide receiver with enormous pressure on his shoulders.There’s also the fact that he’s living up to his player reputation and has been flirting with me since he entered the room."Mr. Morrison, I think we are going off-track a bit," I say, shuffling my interview cards, "And if you can bear with me, I have two fan questions I'm required to ask before we wrap this up."Jake leans back in his chair, that trademark grin he uses on and off the field spreading across his face."Fire away, beautiful. Though I'm hoping one of them is

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 10

    Jaxon I stare at the way the movement makes her breasts press against the fabric of her shirt, and my mouth goes dry imagining my hands mapping every inch of skin hidden beneath that flimsy top.We both step into her hotel room, and the door closes behind me with a soft click.The room feels smaller with both of us in it.All I can do is breathe her in. All I see is her…after five torturous years."How have you been?" I ask, the question coming out like it did five years ago.Back then, I made sure she ate regularly and none of that junk food she always ate on her lunch break. The boss she was interning under had starved and worked her to the bone.I made sure to check up on her—her sleep, her health, her…untouched grief about her father’s death that she carried at the time.Positioning herself by the window to keep the distance between us, Natalie’s cold glare is almost enough to dig a hole in my heart."Let's not waste each other's time with you pretending you care about my well-b

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 9

    Jaxon The elevator ride is like a damn highway to hell. Every floor that passes seems to crank my wolf’s vibrating need to see our Mate higher.It takes a total of six minutes to reach Room 2847.I stand outside the door for a full minute, trying to find words for how I’ll explain everything.Is it selfish of me that I want her to see me in a better light? That I want to wipe that pain away from her face and ask for another chance because seeing her again has one thing running through my mind.We want her back. We are not losing her again, my wolf growls, matching my thoughts.Five years ago, I was terrified of the danger my world would bring her—the same danger that killed her father.But I've spent these same years building Wolfgang pack into something stronger, more secure. Our territories are fortified, our alliances solid, and our enemies contained.More importantly, abandoning Natalie didn't honor David's memory. It just left her out there in the world unprotected and alone.

  • A Secret Baby For The Alpha Quarterback   Chapter 8

    Jaxon The Dallas skyline stretches endlessly before me, the sprawl of glittering lights against the midnight sky making my head throb. From the floor-to-ceiling windows of my penthouse, the city looks nothing like the chaos raging inside my chest. My wolf hasn't stopped pacing since this afternoon. Since we saw her. Mate. Mate. Mate. The word pounds through my skull like a relentless hum, and it drowns out every rational thought I've tried to form in the last eight hours. Five years of convincing myself I made the right choice. Five years of burying the Mate bond so deep I thought it was dead, only for all of it to crumble the moment Natalie Matthews walked back into my life. She looked...fuck, she looked incredible. Not like the broken twenty-one-year-old I'd been forced to walk away from, but like a woman who'd built herself into something formidable. Our Freckles thrived without us. The thought should comfort me. Instead, it feels like a knife twisting in my gut. My p

They are black, five-inch high, red-bottomed Louboutins that were supposed to crush Jaxon’s ego today.Instead of crushing anyone, I shook in them as I practically ran from Jaxon.Just like I’ve been shaking as I stare at the mirror on the other end of the room.My nose is red. My makeup is smudged, and I look nothing like the Natalie that walked into that media room a few hours ago.Why? Because the minute Jaxon touched me, everything hit me. The anger, the humiliation, the fury, and the…feelings.Feelings that are still clogging my throat. I remember every inch of him and that stupid nickname.My eyes flick to the phone that rests near my thigh, and wiping my tears from my cheeks, I resort to calling the one place that makes me feel at peace: home.Freda picks up on the first ring,
