Scott headed indoors shortly after Meg went upstairs and popped open a cold beer. What the hell are you doing? he asked himself. Why had he let Meg go to bed alone when he knew how upset she had to be after his story? Not the story, asshole, but his gut reaction to what Leah had done.

That family thing is for suckers, and happily ever after only happens in fairy tales. What the fuck had possessed him to dump all that on her and in those words?

He rubbed his burning eyes with the heels of his hands. Meg had asked for honesty, and once he’d gotten rolling on what Leah had done, his lingering anger had burst through. He hadn’t been talking to Meg. Sensitive, caring Meg. He’d been furious and still feeling betrayed by his ex-wife.

Scott put down the full bottle of beer. Drinking wasn’t going to help. Neither was attempting to sort through his feelings for Meg, though he couldn’t contain his thoughts.

He’d been unable to stay away from her, attraction and desire overcoming any rational thought. To be honest, he hadn’t had a single rational moment since laying eyes on Meg in that hospital bed. As a result, he’d talked her into a one-night stand, though admittedly, he hadn’t had to try too hard to convince her. She’d been right there with him. Except he’d known going in that one night wouldn’t be enough.

And now he found himself acting like her white knight and protector, and he had no regrets about it. None at all. The desire he’d felt for her from the beginning was still going strong, but now he knew her. Liked her even more.

Meg was everything Leah wasn’t. Warm, caring, nurturing yet strong. Beautiful and real, inside and out. And she was more independent than she wanted to believe herself. He admired everything about her. But as much as he’d told himself he’d known she was pregnant going in, that it didn’t matter, suddenly it did. She was creating a life for herself that he’d never believed he desired. And the one time he’d allowed himself to want it, everything had been ripped away from him in an instant, leaving him raw and back where he’d started. Convinced marriage, babies, and family weren’t for him.

Except with Meg, a part of him was starting to envision just that, and it scared him to death. He couldn’t pull away from her if he wanted to—and he didn’t. Nor could he tell himself he was staying because she needed protection. He was sticking around because he needed her. Wanted her. But Meg made it perfectly clear she preferred to be independent and not lean on any man. Which put him back in the same position he’d unwittingly found himself in with his ex. When this mess with her stalker baby daddy was over, Meg might just decide she no longer needed Scott in her life. At all.
