While Beck took a shower, Cady sat on his couch, clutching the cup of ginger tea. Thankful for some time alone, she thought back to his expression when she’d made her announcement. To say he looked shocked was an understatement, but she couldn’t blame him for the string of curses he’d let fly.

He was a guy who wasn’t into commitment or relationships, only quick flings, and she was damn sure that having a quick fling with a pregnant woman was not on his bucket list. Even if they did share a history and were madly attracted to each other.

Beck was too into control to be caught up in such an unstable, potentially highly dramatic situation. As for her, she was borderline nuts to be even thinking about Beck in this way. She had enough emotional, physical and financial problems without adding the complication of sleeping with that delicious slab of muscle.

Man, her life was so messed up. For someone who’d always tried so hard to do the right thing, who pursued perfection, she was surrounded by chaos.

Cady stared at her fingers and wished that Beck would come down from his room. Sitting here, wondering what he was thinking, hoping that he wasn’t judging her too harshly, had her palms sweating. Cady knew that she shouldn’t care what he thought of her. She was an adult and she should be over wanting anyone’s approval. But Beck wasn’t just anyone. He was an important part of her life.

She still respected him and he was her client. And, dammit, when she pushed her lust away, she still liked him. He was, and always had been, a good man.

Cady heard his footsteps and watched Beck walk down the spiral stairs, freshly shaved and his hair damp from his shower. She watched as he shoved his arms into a navy blazer, perfectly complementing his white dress shirt worn under a thin berry-colored sweater. Slim-fit wool pants in dark gray covered his long legs, and his trendy sneakers added a hip touch to his outfit. Between Thailand and now, T-shirt-and-cargo-shorts-wearing Beck had morphed into a clotheshorse, Cady thought. She looked down at her baggy sweatshirt and thought that she really had to up her game.

Beck walked over to her and sat on the backless leather chair facing her. “So, pregnant, huh?”

Cady couldn’t see any judgment in his eyes or distaste on his face.

She nodded glumly. “Yep.”

“Are you okay? Any problems?”

“Apart from the puking and the tiredness that I understand is normal, no.” Cady gripped her teacup with both hands. Thinking that he might think she was whining, Cady straightened her back. “I’m perfectly able to manage this campaign, Beck.”

“I never doubted that for a second,” Beck replied, his voice steady. “I just need to know that you’re healthy.”

Cady nodded, touched by his concern. “I’m fine. I haven’t seen a doctor yet but I will.”

Beck nodded and stood up. He walked over to the window and leaned into the red brick wall. “And the father? Is he out of the picture?”

“Very.
