‘I’m not here to be judged by a man who was happy enough to bed me but who rejects the consequences.’
Luc reared back with surprise. Clearly the last thing he had expected was for her to take him on. The great Lucas Marcelos versus Emma Fane, a chambermaid? No contest, he must have thought. No contest? She’d be a mother soon. He’d better get used to that idea.
‘I’ll need proof that your baby is mine,’ he grated out.
‘I’d expect nothing less,’ she said coldly.
‘Well, we are where we are, so I will tell you what’s going to happen next.’
‘No, you won’t,’ she argued firmly. ‘This is one occasion where you don’t decide. This is my body and my baby—’
‘Our baby, according to you,’ he fired back.
‘Our baby,’ she conceded. ‘There is no blame here, Luc. We’re both equally responsible for this child, and both equally invested in its future.’
She hoped that was true, and something in Luc’s eyes said he did want to be part of this—though whether that was a good thing, right now she couldn’t tell. For all that he was a notorious playboy, Lucas Marcelos was famous for his loyalty—to his friends, to his polo team, and to the staff who worked for him. Her only worry was that Lucas would take his sense of responsibility to the nth degree, and that once he was satisfied he was the father of her child he would demand complete control.

EPILOGUE
HAVING THE NIGHT off from her job as chambermaid to attend the wedding of her best friend in Scotland should have been a cause for celebration. A racing heart made that impossible, because Lucas Marcelos would almost certainly attend the wedding too, which meant no swerving from the truth.
Luc...
Would she ever learn?
No, Emma concluded, staring into the mirror in the ladies room at her rabbit-in-the-headlights
