“I am finally whole,” he says into my hair as he holds me tightly.
I inhale as the same feeling comes over me. I feel complete for the first time in my life.
What’s Going On?
“This doesn’t make any sense,” I say as I sit in Ardan’s lap while looking down at my phone. This is the third time I’ve tried and failed to log into the chat my sisters and I have been using to talk to each other.
“I know. Something is wrong. Could it be something blocking the Wi-Fi signal here or something?” Ray asks.
“No. You shouldn’t have any interference. Our system is high tech. Our human brothers made sure of it for their needs whenever they’re here. We also protect it with magic, so it’s impenetrable,” Reilly replies.
I shake my head and try again but get the same results. When I look up, Ray and Taylor have similar looks on their faces as they, too, try to log in with no success. I frown.
“I never log out. I don’t know what’s going on,” Taylor says.
“Same here. This is crazy,” Ray murmurs as she stares down at her phone.
“Don’t worry about it. I’ll find her and then we’ll know if she’s Charlie or not,” Reilly says dejectedly and gets up to walk off.
I watch after him. I’m even more determined to help him now that I know who Charlie could be to him—or should I say Lee?
I get the feeling she is one and the same. It only makes sense. I want Reilly to find her more than anything so Candido will lose all his cards to play.
“Thank you for wanting to help my brother,” Ardan says into my ear.
I turn to look back at him over my shoulder. After showering together, he felt it would be best if I came back here to the clubhouse with him. Since he cleaned up my place for me, I figured, why not?
All I needed to do was get dressed and brush my hair into a ponytail after the mess he made of it during our session. Thank God for the supernatural healing thing.
If I weren’t supernatural, I’m sure I wouldn’t be walking for another three weeks. Man, Ardan is hung like a motherfucker. If I had seen what I saw in that shower before we had sex, I would have run.
“Taylor and I are heading up for the night. It was nice meeting you, Billy. I look forward to getting to know more about you,” Bradan, Ardan’s twin, says.
“It was nice meeting you too. Taylor, I can’t wait to hang out when I have some time,” I say and smile at my sister.
“Me too. I have work and school tomorrow, but I hope to get some free time to spend with both of you,” Taylor says to me and Ray.
She seems a bit shy, but I like her. She’s much smaller than Ray and me. I’ve been wondering what our birth order is. I don’t know why Ray feels like the oldest. Taylor and I seem to be a toss-up for the youngest.
“Don’t drown her on the first night,” Bradan teases Ardan.
I look up into his eyes as he stands and tucks Taylor into his side. I search his face, wondering how much of that is a joke. He winks back at me with a playful smile on his lips.
I recognize him as the other biker from the warehouse that day. If not for the hair and the eyes, they would look just alike. Both of my sisters look so happy here.
I guess Ardan was telling me the truth about everything. I’m still trying to wrap my head around it. I have so much to digest.
“I think we’re going to call it a night as well,” Kendrick says as he stands and helps Ray get up from her seat.
“Can I have one more hug?” Ray says to me with a hopeful smile.
I stand and pull her into me, hugging her as tightly as her baby bump will allow. She squeezes me back. Oddly enough, it feels like a hug I’ve needed for a long time. Not being a hugger, there’s this connection I wasn’t expecting to find.
“I look forward to spending time with you. I’m so happy to finally have met you. I’ve always wanted siblings. Now I have three,” Ray says happily.
“You’ll be tired of me in a week,” I tease.
“Doubt it,” she says and kisses my cheek.
Yup, the older sister. I chide myself for feeling like I’m about to burst into tears. When Ray pulls away and looks into my eyes, I see the tears building up in hers.
I give her a nod as I fight back my own. It’s been a long day. I’m sure she’s just as overwhelmed as I am. Then there’s the baby.
Releasing her, I take a step back, only to have Ardan tug me back into his lap. Ray smiles and places a hand on her belly. I shake my head as I think of the fact that she’s pregnant with a baby from the past.
