"You're stressing Hollie out," Gabbi announces, sailing into my office at the arena like she owns the place. She tosses her coat over the back of a chair before plopping down into it, making it clear she came to read me the riot act.

Awesome. Just what I needed today. I thought the four weeks I spent without Hollie were hell. The last two are coming in hot to steal the crown. I find some new way to fuck up with her every day.

"I miss the days when you didn't hang out around here." There's a reason I didn't want her dating one of my players. I mean, aside from the fact that she's too goddamn young to even be living on her own, let alone dating. I didn't want her here all the time. She's one of the lights in my life. And the biggest pain in my ass. Affectionately.

"I miss the days when you weren't an idiot," she says, smiling brightly. "But we can't all have what we want, now can we?"

Ouch. Harsh… but she's not wrong, either. I am a fucking idiot.

"Hollie told you about the SUV?" I guess.

Gabbi's narrowed eyes and scornful expression are answer enough. Hollie definitely told her about the SUV.

"I'm not going to apologize for making sure the mother of my child and my child have a safe vehicle." To hell with that. I don't care if Hollie is pissed about it. Her car is an accident waiting to happen. I need her and our baby safe.

"You can't just throw money at everything."

"I'm not."

"Oh, really?" Gabbi crosses her arms, arching a brow. "Four hundred roses, Jordan. Really?"

Okay, so maybe that was overkill. I didn't anticipate exactly how much space that many flowers would take up. Or how tired Hollie would be when she got home and saw them covering every surface. Or how long it'd take Colter and Noah to remove them from her apartment. By the time they were done, she was exhausted.

I felt like an asshole.

I'm acting like an asshole. Every time a player gets near her, jealousy rattles through me like a fucking demon. She has to touch them to do her job, but I don't want her hands on them. I don't want them smiling at her or laughing with her. I don't want them looking at her.

She's been my obsession for years, and I had her right where I wanted her, only to watch it all slip away. I know I don't deserve her, and I'm worried as fuck that she knows it, too.

I was supposed to be her daddy, the one man she trusted above all others. And I broke her heart. What if she can't forgive me for that? The thought is giving me nightmares.

I know I need to ease off and approach things in a different way. But the thought of losing her and our baby for good this time is literally my worst nightmare. I can't stop worrying about it.

"You're afraid you're going to lose
