Bobby was worried.

Stella had fallen asleep. He wanted to get her back to his apartment as fast as he could, but he was afraid to go even five miles over the speed limit. He found himself thinking murderous thoughts at people who were speeding or texting. If they hit him and anything happened to Stella...

So he putted along at a glacial speed, obeying all traffic laws and driving defensively. But his mind? That raced.

What if Ben was right? What if Caine already knew about this? What if he had been behind it? What if he wanted out of the deal? What if he was using Stella?

What if it was all a trap?

Bobby couldn’t get his head around that. Ben’s job was to work all the angles, run the worst-case scenario. He was good at it. He’d saved the company a few times because he’d been prepared for the worst.

But that wasn’t Bobby’s job. Whether his brothers liked it or not, he always saw the good in people. He figured out what they wanted and how he could give it to them.

Billy knew bikes. Ben knew numbers. But Bobby knew people. Even if there was some outside chance that he was being set up, he didn’t believe it. He couldn’t believe that Stella would allow herself to be used in such a way.

Besides, Ben hadn’t been at the club. Bobby had. He had been the one to approach her, not the other way around.

So Ben was wrong about Stella and her motives and Bobby was right. Great. This still left him with a hell of a problem—a problem that went far beyond David Caine and the deal with FreeFall TV.

He needed to marry Stella and she was in no particular hurry to marry him.

So she had agreed to stay with him for a few weeks. Sooner or later, Stella would walk away from him—again—because she thought it was best. He would probably lose his deal after David Caine got done dragging his name through the courts. He’d have no resort, a child who lived two time zones away and...

And he wouldn’t have Stella.

He wouldn’t have anything.

This wasn’t like him. Why did he care so much whether she stayed or went?

He pulled into the parking garage and looked at Stella. Her chest rose and fell in even breaths, her mouth open just a bit. She looked completely vulnerable.

She hadn’t taken him to her car because it would look good in the morning paper or because the exposure would grow her name recognition in fashion circles. He hadn’t been a commodity to her. She’d chosen him because she liked him. Because he’d noticed her.

He hadn’t known who she was. The more he thought about it...instead of working the room and finding the biggest name, he’d done something completely out of character. He’d spent the evening with a woman who had nothing to offer him.

Except herself.

Then it hit him. Yeah, he needed to marry her. The list of reasons was long. The baby needed to be a Bolton in both name and blood.
