I had my escape planned. One last time letting him tie me up, strip me down, and own me completely. Then? I was betrayed—by my own damn hormonal body. 
 
One second, I was drunk on pleasure. The next? A sharp nip to my overly sensitive nipple made me scream—not in bliss like usual, but in agonizing pain. 
 
I woke up in the ER—Just in time for a big-mouthed doctor to announce to Oleksi: "First pregnancies are always the worst!" Now, Oleksi knows—everything. And my escape plan is blown to hell. But just when I think it can't get worse—Russian Special Forces storm his mansion.
