BONES
Pulling her into my room before anything else can happen, I lock the door behind me and kiss her. “You haven’t spoken to me in days, and now you’re here. Tell me what’s going on in your head, baby.”
“Well, I was feeling a little unsure with your whole situation, and then I was talking to Pyro, and I thought that maybe if I just showed up here, I could see your lifestyle for myself,” she admits, wincing. “I made him bring me here.”
My jaw tightens at the thought of her coming here with Pyro.
I should have been the one bringing her here for the first time.
I would have tried to control the situation and give the clubhouse its best chance of impressing her, but I guess she knew that, which is why she decided to show up unannounced.
Either way, she’s here. And that’s something.
I was giving her until tomorrow before I came to her, but she beat me to it.
“And then I showed up and saw you with who I assume is Isla, and now, I’m even more confused than when I got here,” she says with a bite to her tone.
My brow furrows. Isla was telling me that Natalia tried avocado and loved it. I suppose we were having a moment, but there was nothing romantic about it.
“I didn’t realize,” I mutter, trailing off. It’s easy for me to brush it off, but seeing Doc in a moment like that with any other man would make me murderous. “She was talking about Natalia. I don’t have any feelings for her, Doc. I promise you. You have nothing to worry about.”
“I’ve been an outsider for my whole life, Nate. I don’t want to be one here with you. You don’t get to stare adoringly into another woman’s eyes. I don’t care who she is.”
“Baby, I won’t ever make you feel that way again,” I vow. I know once she and Isla form a friendship, and she and Skull become closer, she might understand the dynamic a little better. I hope she does, anyway. “You know you’re the only woman I want.”
“I better be,” she grumbles, making me laugh.
“I’m glad you came to me. Even if you had another man do it,” I mutter, and she arches her brow at me.
“Pyro has been nothing but a good friend to me.”
The bastard is just waiting for me to fuck up so he can swoop right in and save the day and steal her from me, but I’m not going to get into that right now.
Instead, I push her back against the door and kiss her hungrily, showing her how much I missed her without any words.
“You want to go downstairs and meet everyone?” I ask, hoping like hell that the men are behaving. They usually do during the day, since we now have women and kids around, but the pole room is never safe.
“Yes, I already met a few of them…” She pauses and adds, “Do you guys only let hot men in? Because I felt like I was walking into one of those male strip shows—”
I cover her mouth with my hand, and she laughs. “Do you need a reminder of who you belong to before we get back out there?” My hand slides over her. “Whose pussy is this, Doc?”
She gasps, mischief in her eyes. “Why would you mention him?”
Him?
The thought of her thinking about another man, even though I know she’s joking, has me seeing red.
“Okay, that’s it, get on the bed, baby. You want to play, we’re going to play.”
I let go of her, and she stalks to the bed, studying it. “How many women have you fucked in this bed? I’m not getting on it.”
“None,” I promise her. “It’s new. I’ve fucked no one on it. Now get naked.”
With a huff, she undresses and then climbs onto the bed, her peachy ass sticking in the air. I’m on my knees with my mouth on her before she can open that smart mouth again.
“Yes, Nate,” she moans, while my hands grip her fleshy ass cheeks.
“I missed you, Doc.”
“I missed you too.” She pants as I lick her clit in the perfect rhythm that I know drives her wild.
“You want my cock, or do you want to come in my mouth and then go downstairs?” I ask her, sliding one finger into her wet heat.
“I want your cock!”
“Good girl, telling me what you need.”
And for giving me what I need.
Taking out my cock, I slide it against her cunt before pushing in. She’s so wet, and it feels so fucking good. “Put your hands on the headboard. That’s it. I’m going to show you how much I missed you. And not just this perfect pussy,” I say with an audible groan.
I thrust harder. “I missed your text messages.” Another deep stroke. “I missed your voice at bedtime.” Another thrust. “And I missed seeing you. Being with you.” I keep fucking her until she’s begging.
And then I make her come all over my cock.
Mine.
When I finish inside her and pull out, I slide my finger through my cum and push it back inside her. “So fucking pretty,” I murmur, as she finally lets her hands drop from the headboard and sags against the mattress.
Pressing a kiss on her ass, I lie back and hold her as she rolls over into my arms.
It would have taken guts to walk in here.
Meredith is brave and badass, and I have no doubt that she will fit into my world once she gets over the initial shock.
And then there are a few details that I’ve left out.
One, I will tell her in time.
And the other, I don’t want her ever to know.
It was before her, so it doesn’t matter anyway.
“I’m glad you came here,” I say against her hair. “I know that you said it’s too early to meet Natalia, so does this mean that you’ve changed your mind and you’ll meet her?”
“Yeah, I think I need to be thrown into the deep end so I can see the dynamic going on here. No more surprises. I do want you, Nate.”
But she wants to see if she can handle my life and the fact that I have a baby.
It hurts, I’m not going to lie. I want her to love my daughter and me, but I know things aren’t as simple as that. I’m sure once she meets Natalia, she will fall in love with her, as everyone else has.
But there’s also Skull and Isla that she’ll need to accept.
And the MC.
And the fact that my brother is a part of me.
Yeah, I think I might be getting the better end of the deal.
But I know a few things. I can be faithful. I can give her anything she wants. And I can protect her with my brothers standing behind me. She’ll never want for anything, and she’ll always be treated like a queen.
“I want you too, baby. I’m not going to lie, I fucked around a lot before you—”
“Yes, I gathered as much.”
“But I don’t want anyone else,” I say gently, kissing her temple.
She has no competition.
But that doesn’t mean she’s not going to have my past conquests thrown right into her face.
Fuck.
Three of them are in this clubhouse right now.
