The Billionaire's Pregnant Mistress. Lucy Monroe

“Tell him you want to come with me.”

      She glared back at him. “I don’t.”

      Dimitri stiffened and Hunter became more menacing, but in his fury, Dimitri shrugged off Hunter’s restraining hold as if it were nothing more than a wispy cobweb. He spun to face Hunter. “I’m not going to hurt her. She’s mine. She’s pregnant with my child and we’re going to talk.”

      After that, neither Dimitri nor Hunter spoke for what seemed like several minutes, but was in all probability only seconds. Then something passed between the two men and much to Madeleine’s dismay and Alexandra’s irritation Hunter nodded.

      “You can talk to her, but you’ll have to do it here.”

      Alexandra tried to shove herself out of Dimitri’s arms. “I’m not talking to him.”

      His hold tightened. “Be careful. If you fall, you could hurt the baby.”

      “What do you care about my baby?”

      If possible, his expression turned grimmer. “I care.”

      Those two words scared her more than the thought of giving birth to a child. He was going to try to take her baby from her. She knew it. “I’m not giving you and your little Greek paragon wife my baby. I’m not!”

      He shook his head. “Talk. Xandra. We need to talk.”

      “You didn’t even believe the baby was yours at first,” she said, giving up any hope at deceiving him about her identity.

      Emotion passed across his chiseled features. “I do now.”

      “What changed your mind?” she demanded, ceasing her struggle against the increasing pressure of his hold.

      He smelled like whiskey, expensive aftershave and sweat. Something had made Dimitri sweat. In fact, his hairline still showed evidence of moisture. The thought of losing his baby must have really destroyed him. She could almost feel sorry for him, but she refused to be so weak. He’d denied his paternity of their baby. He deserved what he got.

      “I spoke to a doctor. He told me it was actually quite common for a woman to have one or even two menses after conceiving a child.”

      “So you believed some stranger over me. I’m impressed, Dimitri. It certainly shows where our relationship fit in the scheme of your life.”

      “He’s not a stranger. He’s a friend.”

      Who cared how well he knew the stupid doctor? “I’m not giving you my baby!” she reiterated while inside she cursed the doctor who had put her bond with her child at risk like this.

      “If you don’t put my sister down this instant and leave my home, I’m calling the police,” Madeleine interrupted.

      Eyes deadly with intent, Dimitri met Madeleine’s gaze with his own inflexible one. “Go ahead.” He turned to Hunter. “I’m not going anywhere without her.”

      Hunter sighed. “You can talk out here. We’ll close off the doors to the house so you’ll have some privacy.”

      Alexandra shuddered. She didn’t want privacy with Dimitri. “If I have to talk to you, I’d rather do it somewhere public.”

      “You don’t have to talk to him at all,” Madeleine’s angry voice interjected.
