Talon (Rise of the Pride, Book 1) (25 page)

It was a curse that sex with Taylor was the
best sex I’d ever had. It was also a given that sex that good
should’ve come with a warning label, because nothing said I’d get
knocked up with his kid. Of course, at the time, I really didn’t
care when he was buried to the hilt and I was screaming his
name.

My birth control obviously didn’t work or
I’d have made him use some sort of protection. That was the other
dumbass move on my part. Rule number one….don’t sleep with
rockstars who’ve dipped their pen in so much ink that their cocks
are stained from all the attention.

Now, I had to get in touch with him and he
wasn’t answering my calls or returning my messages. The whole thing
was nothing but a one night stand, and the sad thing was…I wanted
more. Even if he was the biggest jerk on the face of the planet, I
still wanted him. We clicked in ways I’d never had with another
man. He got me, but obviously the feelings were one-sided.

Standing in the bathroom of my condo in Los
Angeles, and looking at the pregnancy tests lined up on the sink, I
realized that I was the fool. Taylor Vaughn didn’t want anything
from me but a hot night in the sack. I was a conquest. He’d scaled
that mountain and posted his flag at the peak.

And the kicker? In just
two months’ time, he would be taking over for
Glory Days
guitarist, Gabe Miller,
while he returned home for the birth of his child. I’d be screwed,
because with my line of work and being pregnant, I wouldn’t be
doing much more than being the band’s gofer, and Taylor would
definitely know that I was pregnant as soon as I started showing.
Which I didn’t mind about the work situation, but I was sure that
once my cousin found out about the little bun in my oven, Taylor
Vaughn would be a dead man.
