“Cody is at the gym, and Ryder headed to work.” Jace cast a sympathetic glance toward the stairs. “Skylar is still asleep.”

She sat up. “How was he last night?”

“He woke a few times and threw up.” Jace grimaced. “I made him drink some water and take some aspirin.”

“He’s going to be super hungover when he wakes up,” Maddy said around a yawn.

“Why don’t you go up and take a nap before dinner?” Jace suggested.

She agreed, and Jace helped her upstairs, along with all her shopping bags.

“I’ll wake you up before dinner.” He kissed her head and shut the door behind him.

Maddy wanted to wash off the sweat she had worked up by walking all over the mall, so she took a quick shower before climbing into bed.

She must have fallen asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow because she woke when the bed dipped.

Her eyelashes fluttered open, meeting Skylar’s blue eyes, and she murmured, “Hi.”

The smile he gave her looked strained. “Hi, Princess.”

She touched his arm. “How are you feeling?”

“Like a Mack truck hit me, but it’s what I deserve.” He scooted closer. “I’m sorry I ran.”

“I’m just glad you’re alive.” She reached for his hand. “Do you want to talk about it?”

“I don’t know what to think, let alone do. Jace told me how he felt.” He took a shaky breath. “How do you feel about it?”

“I’m angry at her.” She swallowed, trying her best not to cry. “If the baby turns out to be yours, you’ll have a special bond with Amber, and I’m afraid you’ll eventually leave me.”

“Hell, no. I’ll never leave you, no matter what.” He pulled her into his arms. “After everything she’s done to me, if the baby is mine, I’ll fight for full custody. She won’t be in our lives, no matter what.”

“Whatever you decide, I’ll stand behind you, but you need to have a fetal DNA test done ASAP.” Maddy pulled back to meet Skylar’s gaze. “I ran into Amber at the mall.”

She told Skylar what she heard in the bathroom.

“Scott?” he growled out. “The kid could be his?”

Maddy nodded. “And she has some plan to make the paternity test look like the baby’s yours, no matter the results. You need to make sure there’s no way she can screw with it. But if the baby is yours, I’m with you one hundred percent.”

“I know, Princess. That’s one of the many reasons I fell in love with you.” Skylar’s last words were formed against her lips, and his talented mouth sent shivers down her spine.

She lifted her leg to throw it over his, and his dick hardened against her.

He broke the kiss. “I can’t get enough of you.”

His hand ran under her shirt, lifting her bra off her breasts. Maddy took off her shirt and threw it on the floor, but Skylar didn’t wait for her to take off her bra, pushing the cup up to move it out of the way. She cried out as he took her breast into his mouth and gently teased her nipple with his tongue.

His hand walked down her silken belly until he sank his finger between her thighs. His fingers moved in and out of her, thrusting faster, teasing her to the point of no return.

Her back arched as stars filled her vision.

“God, you look beautiful when you come.” He kissed her as he shifted their position, spreading her thighs wide before he sank into her.

She moaned deep in her throat as he stretched her open, her body welcoming him.

“You’re so tight for me.” He rocked in and out of her. “I wish I could stay here all day.”
