“Get her out of here,” Jaxon snapped viciously, whirling around on his foot as he stormed away toward the hotel. “I can’t do this right now.”

“Jax!” I cry out, straining against the massive arms of the security men just as large and strong as the football players themselves, “Jax, I just want to talk!”

“Listen, lady,” the man holding me back chuckles as he exchanges a quick glance with the other guard, like they’re in on some private joke that I just can’t possibly comprehend.

“We don’t let just any girl follow our boys around. If you want an autograph or if you want to claim he’s your baby daddy then you’ll have to follow the rules—”

“What?” I gasp in shock, pushing myself out of the man’s arms and straightening up indignantly.

I tug the hem of my shirt down, glowering at the security officer as I puff out my chest a bit and lift my head higher. There was no way I was going to let them think that I was just some lunatic trying to claim I’d gotten knocked up by one of the team’s players.

“I’m not just some girl, I’m Emily Hart, I’m Jax’s sister.”

“Jax…” I mumbled to myself in sadness, smoothing down the wrinkled fabric of my faded shirt and gazing at the door as if I expected him to bust back through and apologize for being so cold.

He didn’t though, and the doors remained firmly shut. Another security guard took a fixed place in front of the glass doors, shooting me one warning look that made my cheeks flush.

One attempt to contact my stepbrother and I was already being treated like a felon by the staff. Mom always did say I was persistent.

“I guess it’s been a while since the last family reunion,” the officer chuckled faintly, prodding me away from their secure perimeter, “Why don’t you hurry on home, now. Go tell Mommy and Daddy that Jaxon is in a grumpy mood tonight. I don’t think he wants to play.”

I glare up at him scornfully but bite back the argument that rises the back of my throat. That was clearly not going to get me anywhere at this point. Fishing my phone from my pocket, I turned and strode purposefully down
