Just as Iโm going around a particularly steep bend, I hear what sounds like another vehicle coming down the road. Thatโs weird because my closest neighbor is twenty miles away, and like I mentioned, itโs not hunting season. Then at that last moment, my vision is filled with headlights. What stupid person is driving with their head lamps on in the middle of the day? I have to squint to avoid getting in a crash as a huge Mercedes roars past, going way above the speed limit. I barely have the time to register as it disappears around another curve.Who the fuck was that? Most people on the mountain drive serviceable cars, and not fancy luxury sedans. Plus, I caught a glimpse of the driverโs features, and he looked crazy. He was gripping the wheel with white-knuckled fingers, his mouth open in a maniacal laugh. But there was nothing to laugh about. Hell, I should call the sheriff before he crashes that thing, ending his own life.But then, I shrug my shoulders a little and let out a breath
Sophiaโs POVA scream erupts from my throat when I see a strange man standing at the front door with a gun in his hand. Itโs not just a small gun either. It looks huge, and he looks like he knows how to use it.โWho are you?โ I scream. โGet out! OMG, donโt look at me!โThe man looks right back at me, a flush rising on those high cheekbones.โWho am I?โ he growls. โWho the fuck are you?โI let out another scream then because this is totally crazy. When I first heard a car pulling into the drive, I figured it was just Vinnie coming back to apologize. After all, who leaves a woman naked and handcuffed in an isolated cabin? Even worse, after all this straining, I still havenโt ben able to get it out.But obviously, it wasnโt Duke at all. Instead, itโs this glowering stranger who looks like he could fight a mountain lion bare-handed and win. Heโs huge, with night-black hair, piercing blue eyes and a strong jaw. The strange manโs wearing a plaid shirt that emphasizes wide shoulders and bulg
โI canโt help it!โ I moan ecstatically. โIt feels so good!โโMmm, excellent,โ he murmurs. โBut you know, I think we can do better than this.โI whine as he stops moving the toy, and I squirm around in an attempt to get some friction again, but itโs no use. Then, Xander undoes his belt and my eyes open when I hear the buckle hit the floor. Goosebumps rise on my skin when I hear the telltale unzip of his pants, and I let out another low moan. But itโs a moan of welcome because I feel like a bitch in heat. Iโm burning up and can barely breathe, and I feel so desperate that I donโt know what to do with myself. The toy isnโt enough anymoreโI want the real thing, and a hard cock is the only thing that will satisfy me now.Lucky for me, Xander seems to be reading my mind.He pulls the toy out with a satisfying pop, and I should be embarrassed at the obscene sound, but Iโm not. Then he stares at my ass for a bit.โYouโre already stretched,โ he groans approvingly. โSo fucking gaped from this m
I merely giggle, and crack one eye to look at him over my shoulder.โUnexpected? Thatโs one way of putting it,โ I mewl in an amused tone. But then I do something so dirty that even Iโm surprised. I reach one hand between my legs and gently grasp his ball sack, squeezing the soft orbs and milking them to get the last drops of seed out. He groans, dropping his forehead to my sweaty shoulder.โWhat are you doing to me?โ he says hoarsely as the last spurts of hot seed jet into my bottom. โYou minx.โโIt just felt so good, Mr.Xander ,โ I murmur throatily. โI want to get all of your semen, thatโs all. And I want more too, if thatโs what you want.โThat does it. A light flares in those intense blue eyes, and suddenly, I know Iโll be enjoying my weekend at the cabin after all.Xanderโs POVThe next morning, I wake up feeling like Iโve been hit with a ten-ton pile of bricks. Donโt get me wrong. Itโs a bone-deep, satisfying type of fatigue, and it only comes from a heavy night of hot sex. Sure
She looks up, biting her lip.โWell, Mr.Xander , you mentioned last night that you wanted to have a relaxing weekend, so I figured I better get out of your hair so you can do that. I donโt want to overstay my welcome, but thank you so much for your hospitality,โ she babbles while struggling to get her jeans all the way on. โI know that technically, I wasnโt welcome at all because I sort of broke in, butโyou get what Iโm saying. Sorry.โ She shakes her head in apology, staring at the floor. I shoot her an amused look.โHoney, you really think that after what we shared last night that I want you to leave?โSheโs still staring at the floor.โOh, I donโt want to intrude any more than I already have, Mr.Xander .โI get out of bed then, stark naked, and stand in front of her before putting a big hand beneath her chin to tip it up at me.โYouโre not intruding, baby girl. I mean, yes, you broke in, but Iโm fine with it. It was unexpected but youโre my daughterโs friend, so itโs no big deal. Be

I roll my eyes.โBecause thatโs your surprise! It means that weโre having a baby,Xander , and the blue interior means that itโs a boy.โMy boyfriendโs mouth drops open and he stares at me.โAre you serious,Sophia? Iโm going to be a father?โI nod, bouncing on the heels of my feet in excitement.โYes, I just found out yesterday! I took a pregnancy test and Iโm definitely pregnant,Xander . Weโre pregnant. Youโre going to be a daddy.โHe whoops and pulls me into his arms then, dancing around a bit.โA baby! A baby!โ he keeps repeating, beyond excited for this moment. But then, Xander lets out a growl and pulls me closer to him, devouring my mouth with his own. โThank you honey,โ he rasps. โThis means so much to me. This is the best gift a woman can give a man, and I appreciate it.โI moan into his kiss, my knees going weak as I melt into his broad chest.โIโm so glad youโre happy,โ I murmur. But then I straighten. โHow do you think Sassy is going to feel about being a big sister? I mean,
But are we celebrating something in particular?โOops, I almost gave away my surprise. Quickly, I shake my head.โNope, I just wanted to bake today. Sweet tooth, you know,โ I say in a sassy tone before handing him a knife. โHere, cut.โHe takes a moment to look it over and I canโt help but sigh again, looking at this damned thing. The cakeโs pretty funny-looking, with a huge crater right in the middle, and the icing all lopsided because itโs spread too thin on one side and way too thick on the other. Plus, I attempted to add some fruit decorations, but it looks more like the fruit fairy barfed all over the damned thing. Well, at least I tried my best.But Xander knows better than to comment. Slowly, my man positions the knife and then cuts deep, showing off a deep blue interior.โBlue?โ he asks, nonplussed. โThatโs an interesting choice for cake.โโIt is, isnโt it?โ I ask mysteriously. โHere, take a bite.โWith that, I feed him a large morsel of cake, and he chews and swallows before s
EPILOGUESophiaOne year later.I have no idea why I thought baking a cake for this occasion would be a smart idea. After all, Iโm an excellent cook, but horrible when it comes to ovens. Although Iโve been improving a little bit as of late, this particular cake still looks like it went through a war.Ugh, how annoying. This discipline is so impossible because itโs really precise (sometimes down to the last gram) and you have to get everything exactly right, like โsoftened butterโ and not โmelted butter.โ I sigh with exasperation. Whatโs the difference? Seriously, this exercise is going to kill me.But itโs too late to try to make another dessert or even redecorate the pastry on hand because Iโm out of time. Xander will be arriving any moment now, and I want to give him his surprise asap, even if this cake looks incredibly amateur.Quickly, I frost the damned thing, muttering under my breath as the sugary paste gets everywhere. But then I stop and make myself inhale deeply. After all,
I just hope that she knows sheโs safe now. As long as sheโs with me, no one will ever harm her again. Hell, Iโll do worse than take out a knee next time. Iโll physically smash their head in, not to mention beating their brains into a pulp. My hands flex and clench as I snarl under my breath. No one hurts my girl, and that is my vow.But now, weโre safe and she leans against me, letting my warmth seep into her form.โSweetheart, are you okay?โ I murmur against her hair. โI know itโs been a rough night and youโre probably exhausted right now. Do you want to go up to bed? You donโt have to sleep in the master bedroom with me if you donโt want. I have plenty of space, and a very comfortable guest room too.โSophia turns to look at me and my heart throbs painfully in my chest as she blinks a few times, tears pooling in her eyes. Sheโs so beautiful that it breaks my heart, but she nods.โYes, Iโm okay,โ she whispers before taking a long, shuddering breath. โI just canโt believe today has unf
Sassy nods.โYes, but what happened?โ she demands. โI mean, guns? Violence?Duke? How in the world?โWith that, Xander begins to speak, filling in the gaps. My man is straightforward and honest. He doesnโt get into the details, but he does mention that we were making love when Vinnie saw us.โWait, what?!โ Sassy gasps. โYou were doing the what what? Come again?โTears fill my eyes.โPlease donโt be mad Sassy,โ I beg. โIt just happened between me and your dad. Neither of us expected it.โXander nods.โSparks flew, honey, and that was it. Sophia and I spent the weekend together at the cabin, and I hope you can accept our relationship because what we feel for each other is real. Maybe it was forged in fire, given the circumstances, but itโs also very genuine.โSassyโs jaw drops down to the ground and her eyes are almost comically wide as they dart back and forth between her father and me. For what feels like an eternity, she doesnโt move, but then she leaps into action.โOf course Iโm not
Whatโs going on?โ I ask in a small voice. โWhat happened?โHe takes a deep breath.โWell, letโs start at the beginning. You knew that man, right? The one on the stretcher who was wailing and screaming? Heโs your ex-boyfriend, right?โI blink a few times.โYes, thatโs Vinnie. We came up to the cabin together, but as I mentioned, we broke up and he took off. What was he doing back on the mountain?โXander sighs, shoving a hand through his hair and leaving the black strands ruffled.โWell, it seems that Duke had a change of heart after leaving you handcuffed and alone in the cabin. He decided that he was going to be the hero. So he turned tail and came back to the cabin to allegedly โsave you.โ I guess he thought he was going to find you still handcuffed, and begging to be released.โI stare at him.โBut by then, youโd come,โ I say in a slow voice.Xander nods grimly.โYes. Iโd arrived by then, and it seems that when Duke peered in through the window, he saw us. Making love,โXander clari
