Okay. So, this is one of the club women Bones has been with. She obviously seems very comfortable with Suit, too, so do they all just share her?

Suit pulls me away before I can say anything, his hand going to my nape. “We all have pasts.”

“Yeah, and some are right here walking around in hot pants,” I murmur, and he barks out a laugh.

“Hey, at least you know he hasn’t touched her in weeks.”

“Do you ever kiss her and wonder if you’re swallowing one of your brother’s kids?” I ask, and he stops, his shoulders shaking with laughter.

“Fucking hell, Doc. No wonder Bones likes you.”

“He likes lots of people,” I grumble, but then forget all about Rose when I see Nate and Skull sitting there with skull masks on their faces.

Okay, why do I like that?

He looks fucking hot.

Everything else about them is identical, of course. I know Bones has one little curl of hair on his forehead that Skull doesn’t have, but as far as I can tell, that’s the only different thing about them.

However, I can feel Nate.

They have taken off their boots, leaving them in socks. I guess their boots must have been slightly different.

“You can smell or touch, but no removing the masks,” Suit announces.

Isla and the rest of the women come out to see what’s going on, and I look up at her. “Can I touch your man?”

She takes in the scene and laughs. “Go ahead.”

As I get closer, I place my hand on twin one’s chest, then on twin two’s. I already know which one is Nate. He’s the first one, but I think I want to play around with him.

“He’s this one,” I mouth, pointing to him, then sit on his lap and run my hands around his pecs and abs. Burying my face in his neck, I smell him and kiss his skin. This is my man.

“I might have to see a little more before I can decide,” I say out loud, lifting his shirt and running my fingers over his abs. I go lower, touching his thighs, every place except his dick, which I can see is now getting hard. “Hmm. I’m not sure, I’ll need to touch twin number two first.”

When I move off his lap, he growls and pulls me back down, and everyone starts laughing.

He takes off the mask and frowns at me, while Skull does the same, smiling when he sees me sitting on his brother’s lap.

“How did you know?” Suit asks, crossing his arms over his chest.

“I don’t know, I just do. I can feel that he’s mine. I looked at him, and straightaway I was drawn to him,” I say with a shrug. Nate cups my face and turns it to look at him, scanning my eyes before kissing me softly. It’s an intimate moment, and I can feel something almost change between us.

Strengthen.

“Well, I love her,” I hear Isla say, and I feel his lips curve against mine as he smiles. We enjoy the moment for a minute, and then I stand up and walk over to the women. “Okay, let’s get back to the interrogation.”

Ora laughs, and Isla hands Natalia back. I glance back at Nate to see him watching me holding his daughter, his eyes softening.

Skull is watching us, too, in that same intense way.

Winking at him, I head back to the kitchen to tell the old ladies all about how I was kidnapped.

BONES

After putting Natalia to bed, I come back downstairs to watch my woman doing shots with the old ladies, minus Lu, who is pregnant and drinking juice. Seeing her holding Natalia made me feel things I didn’t even know I was capable of feeling. She wasn’t sure about meeting her, I know that, but she did it anyway. She put herself right into my world and hasn’t run away yet. She’s so fucking strong and just keeps surprising me. I never thought I’d ever settle down, but now I know that it was because I’d never met her.

She’s going to be my old lady. Seeing her in my space has only cemented the fact.
