Laughing, David hands him the packet he retrieved from the bag of tricks and Ramsey wipes his cock off, before he dives on me, driving deep inside my pussy for three rampant thrusts and then he stiffens. With a low grunt, his cock fills my pussy with his seed, and I feel well and truly used as Ramsey pulls out of me.

“I don’t want marriage or kids!” I blurt out suddenly.

You could hear a pin drop.

I cringe.

That was the worst timing, ever, but I’ve been sitting on this for weeks.

Now, it’s out there.

“Okay,” David says slowly.

I could kiss him for being the first to break the silence.

“That was sudden and unexpected, but I get it,” he adds, sitting next to me on the couch. “Your life is no place to raise kids…I don’t mean that as a slur, just a fact. And who needs marriage, anyway?”

“Are you absolutely sure about that?” I ask, biting my lip.

“One hundred percent. I just want you to want me, however that is, I will be happy.”

I give him a shaky smile and look up at the rest of the men.

Declan comes forward first, kneeling in front of us. “What he said. He’s better with the words.”

I giggle, tears springing to my eyes. “Ramsey? Cillian?”

“Being in this life,” Cillian says, “It’s no way to raise a child. It’s dangerous and they can be used against you. I was never expecting to have kids, and marriage? Yeah, no thanks. Been there and done that and I promised myself never again. I love you, Ruby, and I know you love me. I don’t need the other stuff.”

“Me either,” Ramsey says. “After the shitshow that was my childhood, having kids wasn’t ever something I wanted. I’m good with how things are. We are all committed to you and to each other. That’s good enough for me.”

All eyes turn to Layton.

He gives them a smug look. “I already knew, and she knows how I feel about this.”

“Seeing as you’re still here, I’m assuming Ruby is enough for you?” Declan asks, looking up at him with narrowed eyes.

“More than enough. She is everything.”

I wake up to my phone buzzing in my bag next to my head. I reach out to find that I’m wrapped up like a burrito in a soft blanket on the sofa. I can hear the bustle of the men in the kitchen and the smell of glorious food and coffee. My stomach growls and pushing my hair out of my face, I pull my phone out of my bag.

There are a few messages from Rex. I open them and smile. He is confirming everything that Declan told me, but to give Mom a hot minute before I call her because she’s still pissed beyond belief at everything she’s learned. The last message sends a dark cloud over my head, but there is a silver lining. Apparently, while I was sleeping, David sent him a message to say that he traced the video back to Boomer. That means I don’t have to worry about it.

The next message, and the one that woke me up, is from Viper.

Frowning, I open it and then smile widely.

Congrats. Heard you beat on the new leader of Jake’s crew until he gave you Scott’s turf. Well deserved, Queen. You own the city. Can’t wait to see what you do next.

Grinning like a fool. I drop the phone back in my bag. I’ll reply, but later. Right now, I want food.

The big brown folder that has been shoved into my bag, suddenly catches my attention. Biting my lip, I pull it out and see that it is everything that David has dug up on Scar’s men. It’ll make for some interesting reading later. I replace it and wrapping the blanket around myself, I make my way into the kitchen.

Ramsey is cooking up a feast; a breakfast that will definitely feed this household.

Myhousehold. My home. My family.
