The 31-year-old sued the NBA star, 30, for paternal child support, after she claimed they conceived a baby on the night of his March 13 birthday.
The athlete was involved with Khloe, 37, at the time - though their relationship was short-lived after the "wild" June night where he was reportedly seen entering a room with three women before emerging "disheveled" 30 minutes later.
In his response to Maralee's child support filing , the Sacramento Kings player admitted to having sex with her "several times" at a Houston hotel after they attended his party together.
The fitness guru allegedly "drove him to the event in her Maserati sportscar" before they headed back to his hotel where she "had a special birthday surprise" for the athlete.
Tristan claimed he knew the encounter would be sex, though he asserted that was the only time they were "intimate."
ON-GOING AFFAIR However, Maralee's lawyers have countered the statement, saying their affair began "five months" prior to the birthday evening in March.
They added that the Texas native "traveled to California on multiple occasions" and continued to see the then father-of-two "after she got pregnant."
In Tristan's recount of the evening, he said: "When we got to my hotel room, we immediately had sexual intercourse. Petitioner [Nichols] initiated our sexual contact and never objected to our having sexual intercourse.
"She was very awake and conscious and did not exhibit any signs that she was other than a willing participant in our sexual activities."
The professional athlete recalled: "We did not drink at my hotel room and Petitioner was not drunk. After we had sexual intercourse, Petitioner specifically asked me if she could spend the night because it was my 'special birthday' as she called it.
"I told her I had to get up early in the morning but she said it would not be an issue for her. After we had sexual intercourse, we went to bed.
"We were both naked sleeping with one another. Before I left the hotel, we had sexual intercourse again in the morning."
Tristan also mentioned Khloe in the documents , with whom he shares his 3-year-old daughter True.
PATERNITY LAWSUIT Maralee filed the lawsuit against her alleged baby daddy on June 30, just days after moving from Texas to Los Angeles.
The fitness instructor requested child support as well as "reimbursement of medical expenses and pregnancy-related costs such as Lamaze classes, a doula, and prenatal vitamins."
In the papers, Maralee has also asked that Tristan pay for costly items needed after the baby's birth, including "clothing, formula, and diapers."
The Keeping Up With the Kardashians alum has not denied that he is the baby boy's father but requested that a paternity test be completed after the child's birth.
The former Boston Celtics player has asked that the court move the case to Maralee's native Texas, in order to limit the amount of his child support contributions.
Tristan also raised complaints about how he was served, alleging that Maralee's legal team "slipped through the gates" of his Encino Hills home in front of his two children to present the court documents.
Tristan is also father to 4-year-old son Prince with ex Jordan Craig.
