“Then that goes both ways,” I state, lifting my chin. “Fair?”

“That’s fine with me.”

“What about a thong bikini?” I ask, feeling amused.

He shrugs. “Whatever you want to wear is fine with me. Your body. And I know how to fight.”

I laugh at that.

“And yes, the men aren’t shy and will do what they want to do, but that’s the freedom they get here. No judgment. As long as they aren’t hurting anyone,” he continues.

“What about when the baby comes? Do you want him or her exposed to that at a young age?”

Rhett stiffens. “When the baby comes, we’ll both move somewhere close by and I’ll just keep a room here.”

I can’t get over how much thought he’s put into this. It makes me feel like everything is going to be okay, if and when I do decide to move into the clubhouse. It’s just so different here, and I know that eventually I would get used to it. But I’m going to have to anticipate some awkward moments before I feel a little more comfortable with the idea.

“Well,” I say with a sigh. “I guess me and the Wind Dragons members are going to get very well acquainted then.”

Rhett grins and leans closer to kiss me. “Not that well acquainted.”

Bear sticks his head into the room, towel wrapped around his waist. “Get a room, you two.”

I lift my head. “You’re kidding, right? You can have sex out there, but we can’t kiss?”

Bear laughs, and his towel almost falls off. “You can do whatever you like. Don’t worry, I like to watch, too.”

My jaw drops open. He winks at me and goes on his merry way.

I turn to find Rhett watching me with amusement in his eyes. “You don’t have to do anything you are uncomfortable with, you know that, right? You have nothing to worry about. I don’t care what they are doing—all I care about is you.” He kisses my cheek. “Pleasing you.” He moves to kiss the side of my neck. “Your little moans in my ear. I get so hard just thinking about them. Mmm. Maybe we should go back to my room. Or maybe you should let me take you here, right now.”

“Here?” I ask, eyes fluttering back open.

He laughs, carries me in his arms and takes me back to his room, locking the door behind him.

Chapter Twenty-Eight

Rhett

We have lunch with my mom, and then I take Con for a ride to the beach. I love having her here. And I hope fucking Bear didn’t make her change her mind with his pool escapades this morning. I wanted to ease her into all the shit that goes on in the clubhouse; instead she’s seen mostly nudity and sex since she got here. At least the family all showed up so she saw that side of it, too.

It’s not all sex and orgies here—we also have family cookouts, do charity runs and fundraisers and spend a lot of quality time together. It’s not all bad, and I hope she can see that. I mean, she’s still here, so I guess that’s a good sign.

I spoke to Bear about toning it down, and he wasn’t happy. I get it, it’s been this way for the past few years when all the OGs’ kids grew up. Bear doesn’t realize that for a good chunk of my childhood it was a clean house, a family house. But as president, now I can make calls they might not like, and they will have to fall into line. I just hope it all falls into place for me.

It takes me a few days before I admit that I’m struggling with Con being so far away. She’s back at her job now, and I know she loves working there, but I want her in my bed every night and I fucking miss her.

Rhett: I think you need to quit and move in now. What do you think?

Con: And what will I do in the clubhouse all day? Wait in your bedroom for you?

Rhett: That sounds nice. Maybe put something sexy on.

Con: ...

Rhett: I’m kidding. But isn’t growing a child in your belly enough of a job? You can just relax and enjoy your pregnancy.

What woman actually wants to work when she’s all pregnant and tired? If she moves in now, I can spoil her, look after her and get her anything that she needs.
