“Call me if he gets out of hand!” Ana said, and because Levi didn’t look around, Ana shot her glare at their leader.

King smirked and lifted a small bottle of whiskey. “Care for a glass?”

“No,” Ana said with disdain.

“How about some wine?” Nash said, lifting a bottle from the counter.

Ana smiled for the first time since they’d met and walked gracefully over to Nash.

“I believe I will.”

Carla curled up on the couch with a throw blanket and her phone.

“What do you do, Ana?” Nash gave the woman a charming smile and uncorked the bottle.

“I’m a criminal defense attorney. And you?”

“Oh…I work for the government,” Nash said vaguely with an easy smile.

“Are we talking city water works or something else?”

Nash smirked. The woman was extremely smart, he could see why she was a lawyer. Not to mention, she was drop dead gorgeous with a wealth of black hair that hung to the top of her ass. She probably stopped the court in its tracks when she entered the room.

“Something.” He smiled and handed her a glass of wine.

Sara came out of the room’s bathroom and found Levi standing with his back to the room, facing a large window.

“What do you want,” she said. It wasn’t a question. It was more of a…what the hell do you think you’re doing…kind of thing.

Levi released a heavy sigh and turned slowly. His eyes raked over her, and Sara crossed her arms over her chest to keep her traitorous nipples hidden. She expected him to laugh or smirk, but he did neither. Which was good because she wasn’t opposed to walking over and smacking him upside the head.

His blue gaze was serious, his mouth firm. He’d tucked his hands into the front pockets of his jeans in a slow, sexy slide, outlining his crotch. She knew intimately what that material covered and she tipped her chin to glare at him, covering her shiver.

“Rebecca is not pregnant with my baby,” Levi said flatly.

Sara blinked. Of all the things he could have said, that had not been what she expected him to say.

“She’s not?”

“No, she lied. She is a chronic liar.”

“She said you two were together and had only had an argument.” Sara rubbed her hands up and down her arms.

“We are not, and haven’t been together in years. Long story short, I neglected her. She took money from my father and traveled abroad, thinking I would chase her,” Levi said, holding her gaze.

“But you didn’t,” she murmured softly.

“No, nor will I ever chase her or go back to her.”

“Why would she lie about you?”

“She’s an obsessive person. Lies are her go-to.”

“But about a baby?” she asked incredulously.

“I know. She’s delusional. I have no desire for a kid.”

Sara felt the immediate burn in her stomach. He didn’t want kids. Levi didn’t want to be a father.
