“I need…”

“I know exactly what you need, and you’ll get it when I’m ready,” he growls, lifting his head to look into my eyes. His thumb works my clit between us, and I can’t look away from his gaze as we lose ourselves in each other.

He waits until I come again before he kisses me gently, then with us still joined, he rolls us over so I’m on top.

Smiling down at him, I start to ride him.

His eyes roam over my body before he grips my hips and thrusts upward. “I’m going to come.”

“Yes,” I pant, unable to look away.

“Fuck, Doc,” he growls, lifting me harder and faster on him. Taking the hint, I pick up the pace, leaning my hands back on his thighs.

His breathing picks up as he finishes, the sexiest expression etched on his face. “Fuck!”

Burying my face in his neck, I close my eyes and sigh happily. “That was worth the wait.”

He laughs, running his hand down my spine, the other resting on my nape. “Glad to hear it, but that was just the start, baby.”

“How long do you need?” I ask in a sultry tone.

He rolls me onto my back and kisses me.

“There’s something I need to tell you,” I say the next morning. After five rounds of sex during the night, Doc woke up and made me breakfast. She brought it to bed, and we ate together before getting into the shower. Now we’re dressed and sitting on her bed, making a plan for the day. I want to take her to the clubhouse, show her a little of my world, but before I do that, I need to tell her about Natalia.

“What?” she asks, leaning back on her elbows on the bed. “If you tell me you’re married, I’m going to kick your ass.”

I shake my head, laughing. “No, not married, never been married. But I do have a daughter. Her name is Natalia. She’s six months old now.”

Something flickers in her eyes before she masks it. She’s impossible to read, and I have no idea what’s running through her mind right now. “Who is her mother?”

“It’s a long story, but she passed away,” I say, clearing my throat. Ghost actually killed her, but that’s another story. “She didn’t want Natalia anyway. She left her at the hospital after she gave birth. That’s how Skull met Isla, his old lady. She was a nurse at the hospital.”

“You have a… baby. Okay, that’s definitely not what I thought you were going to say. I feel like this is something you should have told me over the weekend, don’t you think?” she asks, frowning.

Yes, probably, but I wanted her to get to know me and not give her any reason to push me away.

“I wanted to ease you into… everything.” I wince, rubbing the back of my neck. “Do you not like kids?”

I don’t know what I’d do if she didn’t, because I want more kids someday.

“Of course, I like children. I just didn’t expect you to have any, especially not a baby. She’s so young,” she mutters, standing up and starting to pace. “Who is looking after her right now?”

“Skull and Isla,” I say, then take a deep breath. “We kind of just raise her all together.”

I want to add that we don’t actually know who the father is, not that we care, but then I’ll have to explain that we both fucked Daisy.

“I need to process this,” she whispers, crossing her arms over her chest.

“Can you process it with me here? Because I don’t want to leave you yet,” I ask, flashing her a charming smile. “I want to take you to the clubhouse, but only when you’re ready, okay?”

She’s studying me closely now, but shielding her emotions. “It doesn’t change anything, Doc. It just means sometimes I’ll have my daughter with us when we hang out. Do you want kids one day?”

She nods. “Yeah, I do. Three.”

“Three? And you wouldn’t treat Natalia any differently, would you? I know it’s early to be talking about these things, but I have to ask.”
