“Auden mentioned you were gorgeous, but I’ll say his words didn’t do you justice,” Hayden told me.
So, the other guy was named Auden. And I had another hot biker flirting with me, which felt like a fever dream. What in the world was going on?
“You guys sure are charmers with all your sweet words,” I commented with a little smirk as warmth seemed to float over my skin.
Hayden leaned closer as his fingertips ghosted over my upper arm.
“Mind if I say a few more sweet words?” he asked as our eyes locked.
My breath hitched as I stared into his dark eyes that seemed so deep and intense. I wondered what all he had seen with them. I couldn’t find my voice, so all I could do was nod.
Hayden chuckled a little.
“It’s too bad it wasn’t me that you first met at Altitude,” he said. Before I could even react, he gently took my hand and led me toward the door of the clubhouse. “There are others you need to meet. Don’t worry. We don’t bite… unless you ask.”
A shiver ran through me as I followed him, tension gripping my shoulders as I walked through the door into an open space that looked like a hangout spot.
It kind of reminded me of a cozy bar, but that sense of coziness died out at the sight of Kai as he leaned against a pool table.
“Well, we might as well use our real names since we’ll be involved with each other for a while,” Hayden told me as he gestured to three bikers that stood from the couch. I only recognized one of them from the last time I came to the clubhouse. “This is Cameron, Lincoln, and Auden.”
My heart skipped at the sight of Cameron as he approached me.
He had dark brown hair that was cut short around his ears with some light stubble on his handsome face. There was also a snake tattoo that wrapped its way up his right arm that caught my eye. When he got close to me, I looked up at him with a small smile, trying to rein in my nerves.
“I’m Aisling,” I introduced myself. Something told me that he already knew who I was, though.
“Cameron,” he said as he shook my hand before placing his other hand on top of mine. “Nice to meet you.”
His hands were warm and firm on mine, and I noted his serious yet calming demeanor. He helped me relax before Lincoln took his place.
Lincoln looked to be around my age with dark, hair that was cut short and light brown skin that didn’t have a single tattoo. At least where I couldn’t see. His face was clean shaven, and he looked to be the most casual one from what I could see, wearing a graphic t-shirt and a pair of Vans.
“I wasn’t sure if you’d show up or not,” he admitted as he seemed to inspect me.
His gaze felt heavy as his eye roamed over me. Was he checking for weapons or checking me out? I couldn’t tell.
“I figured it was important,” I told him as we shook hands. I tried to ignore the smell of cedarwood and cherry that rolled off him, but it was intoxicating.
“It is,” Auden spoke up as he walked over to me, flashing me a grin. “Good to see you again, sweetheart.”
With warm cheeks, I smiled at him before heading over to Kai, still reeling a bit from all of these handsome, mysterious men. What were their stories? Who were they really?
“Why am I here, Kai?” I asked him as he pushed off the pool table to walk over to me.
Kai stopped a foot away from me, looming over me with his serious expression and tense jaw.
“We’ve talked it over, and we want you to have the baby,” he stated. Before I could tell him that I was already planning to do that, he spoke again. “As an heir to our club.”
I couldn’t stop the shocked laugh that broke from me.
“What?” I questioned him. “An heir?”
Kai nodded, his expression not wavering. He was very different from the flirty man that I met at the Altitude. Which one was the real him?
“To continue the legacy of our club, whether I get too old or die, we need an heir,” he explained. “If you agree to let us raise them as our heir, while you have contact with them, we’ll take care of you for the next year. You’ll stay with us, and we’ll provide for you and cover all of your medical bills and pregnancy check-ups.”
My head started to spin, and I found myself reaching out for the pool table for stability.
To my surprise, Cameron jumped to my side and guided me over to the pool table so that I could lean against it. I nodded to him in thanks and breathed in deeply before facing Kai once more.
