Alton's Secret Baby

When it comes to women, I only have two rules:
Never get attached.
Never call back.

It’s not like I lie about it—they know what they’re getting into.
They’re thrilled to sleep with a hockey legend, even if it’s just for one night.

It’s a simple life, but a good one.
Or at least it was simple.
Until I met Jessie.
Until she was the one who never called back.

Then I see her again five months later.
Five months pregnant.
Doesn’t matter.
She still looks amazing.
I still want her.
And now suddenly my life is a crazy, complicated mess.

But whatever past she’s running away from—
Whatever lies she told out of necessity—
None of it matters.
All I want now is to make things right.
Because this time, it’s not going to be just one weekend.
This time I’m never letting go.
