I smirked. “Baby Doll, what did you expect? It’s the underworld.”
A small laugh escaped her lips, and I wanted to taste them so damn bad. She’d gotten me so worked up, then gone off like a firecracker this morning that I didn’t get a chance to kiss her before Jagger woke up. I grinned, thinking about the noises she’d made. Fuck, it had been the hottest damn thing I’d ever seen or heard.
She went through the next door into the living room. Gage was on the sofa, and his gaze swung over to us from the television he’d been watching. The slow grin that spread across his face made me realize I hadn’t warned Genesis about the shit that would come out of his mouth.
“We can eat!” he shouted toward the kitchen and stood up. His focus was on Jagger, and he just smirked and shook his head like he couldn’t believe what he was seeing before he looked at Genesis. “So, this is the girl whose text can get you to take your dick out of a—”
“GAGE!” Shiloh’s voice interrupted him, and he flashed her a wicked grin.
“What, sweet baby?”
Shiloh put her hand on her hip and shook her head at him. “You know what,” she said, then turned her attention to Genesis. “You’ll learn to ignore the things he says. I’m Shiloh, and we are so happy that Kye brought you and Jagger to the house.”
“It’s nice to meet you,” Genesis replied.
Shiloh’s gaze went to Jagger then. “Can I please?” she asked hopefully.
I stepped forward and handed Jagger to her. Shiloh’s gaze lit up, and she started cooing at him.
“Thanks, man,” Gage drawled. “You’re gonna give them all baby fever.”
I shrugged. “It’s not a bad thing.”
Gage narrowed his eyes as he studied me. I placed my hand on Genesis’s lower back, and we followed Shiloh into the kitchen. When we stepped inside, Huck was at the end of the table with his coffee and some papers in front of him. Levi was to his right, looking over whatever it was Huck had with him. Aspen and Trinity were in the kitchen, getting the food set up on the island, like a breakfast bar.
“Look who I have,” Shiloh said in a singsong voice.
Both women stopped what they were doing and hurried around the bar to see Jagger up close.
“Oh my God, Kye! He looks just like you,” Trinity gushed. “Hey, little guy,” she said, taking one of his socked feet and tickling it as he kicked.
Aspen smiled sweetly at him, then turned her attention to Genesis. “I’m Aspen,” she said to her. “It’s really nice to meet you. We’ve heard a lot about you. I’m so happy Kye brought you for breakfast. I hope that becomes a regular thing.”
Genesis seemed to visibly relax. “Thank you for having me at the last minute,” she replied. “It’s nice to finally see this part of Kye’s life. I think I envisioned it a little differently.”
Trinity looked up from Jagger and grinned knowingly at Genesis. “I’m Trinity, and you are always welcome, even without advanced warning. This is Kye’s home, and that makes you family.”
“That’s very kind of you,” Genesis told her.
I could tell by the tone of her voice that she was surprised by everyone. This wasn’t what she’d expected at all. I couldn’t help but grin.
Leaning down, I whispered in her ear, “Not very underworld-like, is it?”
I saw her blush, and she shook her head. I had needed her to see my place here, where I lived, and that the people in my life weren’t unsafe for Jagger to be around.
I slid my hand around to rest on her hip, then pointed to Huck, who was watching everything with his typical serious expression.
“That’s Huck,” I told her. Then shifted my finger to Levi. “That’s Levi.”
I knew she’d heard stories of both, and seeing their women must be shocking. Especially some of the things I’d told her about Levi. Aspen was much younger than him and had that innocent freshness about her. I couldn’t wait to hear Genesis’s take on all this later at the house. My plan had been to bring her here already, but Bowie showing up had put this on pause.
“Glad he finally got around to bringing you to the house,” Levi said to her.
She smiled at him, and I tightened my hold on her, surprising myself yet again. What was wrong with me? That was Levi. He was so fucking in love with Aspen that he couldn’t function without her. Genesis could smile at him. Jesus, she’d had one orgasm underneath me, and I’d lost my damn mind. I had to snap out of that.
“I need to hold this sweet boy,” Trinity said, taking Jagger from Shiloh. “You are so precious!”
Genesis watched with a pleased smile as they fawned over Jagger. There was a look of pride in her gaze that twisted me up inside. Right now was not the time to dissect that.
