I listened to the endless sound of a ringing line as I pulled into the empty parking lot. I slammed my hand down on the wheel; I was so fucking pissed. After Jocelyn had left, I decided to head to the office. I needed to do something to calm myself down, and normally throwing myself into work did it. However, I had thought about Autumn all the way to the office. I needed to explain, and I wasn’t going to give up until she let me. The phone rang another half-dozen times before I finally ended the call and headed up to the office.

Jocelyn was insane. That’s all there was to it. I wasn’t sure how dumb she thought I was, but it had been seven months since the last time we had been together, so even if she was pregnant, it definitely wasn’t mine.

Once inside, I turned on my laptop and tried burying myself into work, but the only thing that was occupying my mind was those teary beautiful grey-blue eyes as Autumn had stepped onto that elevator. I’d wanted to go after her, but I had been frozen in shock. I picked up my phone and tried her again. Again, the same thing—the line just rang. Running my hand through my hair, I threw my phone down on my desk and headed to the lunchroom to make a coffee. I was convinced it was going to be a long night.

As I headed down the hall, I saw the light on in Carter’s office and decided to go there instead. He was sitting behind his desk, working away on his computer. “Hey, you got a minute?” I asked, standing just outside his door.

“Hunter! What are you doing here? I thought you were taking the weekend off to bang that broad you met down south? At least that’s what our brothers told me.” He laughed, looking up from his paperwork.

“Carter, she’s not some broad. I need to talk.” His demeanor changed the second he looked at my face. This was serious. I needed guidance, advice—something—and Carter was always my go-to.

“Come in and sit.” I caught the worried look on his face. “Is everything okay?”

I sat down across from him. “Jocelyn showed up at my place this morning,” I said, deadpan.

“Oh, for fuck’s sake.” Carter put his pen down and sat back. “I thought you got rid of that crazy bitch.”

“Yep, so did I. Autumn let her in while I was in the shower.”

“What happened?”

“Jocelyn is Jocelyn. She started lying to her, and Autumn left in tears. She wouldn’t give me a minute to explain—nothing. Autumn has been through a really tough time, so I know this was a big blow to her. After she left, Jocelyn told me she is pregnant and it’s mine.”

“Well, you know it’s not. Hope and I saw Jocelyn while you were away in Jamaica. She was out with another guy.”

“I know it’s not mine. And I don’t care whose it is.”

“Why don’t you go see Autumn—explain it in person as opposed to over the phone?”

“I’m afraid to.
