Chapter 5 Skull
SKULL
“You want some company?” Janet purrs, biting her lower lip. She’s one of the new club girls, a tall blonde with big fake tits. Her hands start to wander, trailing down my chest, but I stop her before she gets to my belt.
For a moment, I consider it. I haven’t fucked anyone since I found out about Natalia, and I could use the stress release, but something holds me back.
After getting Daisy pregnant, even though we always used protection, it makes the wild, casual sex a little more of a gamble.
Or maybe it’s because her eyes are blue instead of the chocolate brown I want to look into when I come.
Danger walks by the bar, sliding into the seat next to me. He’s texting on his phone, his brow furrowed.
“Everything all right, brother?” I ask, ignoring Janet, who is still trying to press herself against me.
“Yeah,” he replies, placing his phone on the counter.
I nod toward Janet. “Why don’t you see if you can cheer up Danger?”
She reaches for him instantly, dropping to her knees and reaching for his belt. Danger glances down at her but doesn’t look too pleased. Lucky for him, he’s saved by Curse, who steps into the room with a grin. “I need a throat on my dick right fucking now.”
Danger grips her hair in his fist and tugs. “Go to him.”
Janet gets up and sways her hips until she reaches Curse, who picks her up and throws her over his shoulder, slapping her ass as he takes her into the pole room, which is usually used for when you want to fuck and don’t care who might come in and see. Or join in.
Yeah, we need to find a house for Natalia and fast.
It’s been two days since I’ve seen my little nurse.
Scorp told me that she had a few days off.
He also told me everything he knew about her.
She moved to Rest Falls over a year ago, no man, no kids, doesn’t even date, as far as he knows, but said she’s a good nurse. Smart. Hard working. Funny. Nerdy.
Apparently, she’s a big Pokémon and Sailor Moon fan.
Fucking cute.
And then he told me I should leave her alone. He doesn’t think she would want any part in my ‘twin fuckery’ as he called it.
And he’s right, I should let her go.
I have a daughter to focus on.
But why the fuck can’t I stop thinking about that kiss? And why did her kissing Bones make me feel a little possessive?
That’s the real mind fuck. I’ve always shared everything with my twin, and her kissing him should have made this whole thing easier.
We both get her in our bed.
That’s our usual plan, right?
My phone beeps with a message.
Bones
Doc said we can take her home. Bring the truck and make sure the car seat is secure.
Skull
On my way.
Fuck.
Guess I’m bringing home a baby.
* * *
“She’s so cute,” Ora coos, gently rocking her in her arms. She’s sitting in the chair in my room, her blue eyes not leaving my daughter’s face.
I’m stocking up the changing table with diapers, wipes, and all the other baby shit the old ladies bought for Natalia.
I’m so out of my fucking element it’s not funny.
We’ve decided to put a crib and a change table in each of our rooms so we can both take turns caring for her until we move out of the clubhouse and give Natalia her own bedroom.
We both replaced our beds, too, wanting new mattresses and sheets.
“Thanks for watching her while I showered,” I say, sitting down on the edge of the bed.
“Any time, Skull. You know we are all here to help with her. It takes a village, and you have a whole clubhouse,” she says, smiling up at me.
“Do you think Daisy will come back?” I ask, leaning back.
She sighs and rubs her forehead, her eyes hardening. “I don’t know, but I hope she either stays in or out. Anything else will be so hard on Natalia. She deserves consistency and a mother who will be there for her no matter what.”
“Shouldn’t have stuck my dick in crazy,” I mutter, and Ora laughs.
“Don’t be so hard on yourself, Skull. Protection doesn’t always work, and now we have this little princess. Everything played out how it was meant to.”
She sounds so sure, but Daisy is a wildcard, and we’re going to have to protect Natalia.
War comes looking for his woman, their son is his arms. His dark eyes narrow, and a muscle ticks in his jaw when he finds her alone in my room with me.
Territorial bastard.
Ora just smiles and stands, handing the baby back to me. “You two going to be okay tonight? If you need anything, send me a message.”
“Or message one of the other women,” War adds, and Ora rolls her eyes.
“Don’t listen to him. Message me anytime.”
“He’s my president, Ora. I don’t want him to kill me,” I rasp, just as Bones steps into the room, freshly showered, his hair still damp.
He rubs his hands together. “Okay, I’m ready for night one of being a full-time daddy.” He glances around. “We having a fucking sleepover or what?”
War collars the back of Ora’s neck and leads her out.
Skull looks down at our daughter in my arms, and then back up at me. Natalia takes that moment to decide to cry. Loudly. “Fuck, we’re in over our heads, aren’t we? I’ll get another bottle. You see if she needs a diaper change.”
He storms out, while I try to calm the little chaos. When I place her down gently on the changing table, she looks up at me with her deep blue eyes as she wails. I give her a quick change. She stops crying when I start talking to her.
“We’re going to be okay, you know that? You’re going to be so loved, Natalia. A Serpents of Chaos MC princess. Whatever you want, you’re going to get…” I pause, and then add, “Except a boyfriend. I’ll kill any fucker who tries to go near you.”
Bones steps in with the bottle in his hands, a smirk playing on his lips. “You threatening boys twenty years from now?”
“Twenty? Kids start dating at like fifteen,” I say, watching him test the temperature on his wrist, just like the nurses showed us.
He hands me the bottle, and I sit on my bed and start to feed her. She takes cute, small gulps of the milk.
“Let’s worry about that later. Right now, we have to keep her alive until then.”
My lip twitches. “Do you want to take first watch?”
Bones runs a hand through his shoulder-length hair and nods. “The last time you asked me that, we were on a fucking stakeout.”
We both share a laugh. “This is more important.”
She is more important.
I didn’t see this coming, but now that it’s here?
Time to embrace it.
