18. Zane

“Ruby and Carly seemed to hit it off,” Damian said as they all walked through the exit gates of the aquarium.

Jace was walking ahead, holding Ruby’s hand, while Nash had his arm around Carly’s shoulders as the girls giggled at something one of the men said.

“Yeah. We should schedule a playdate. I think Ruby needs some friends,” Zane replied.

“She doesn’t have any Little friends?” Damian asked.

Shrugging his shoulders, he watched the little girl that was quickly creeping her way into his heart.

“I get the feeling she doesn’t really have anyone. We’re still getting to know her, but she doesn’t ever talk about anyone else.”

Damian nodded. “That’s sad. Everyone needs people in their lives to care about them. I’m sure Carly would love a playdate. Let’s plan one soon.”

Everyone stopped and said their goodbyes, and Zane had to swallow a lump forming in his throat when Ruby looked shocked that Carly had hugged her goodbye. His baby girl needed more touch. She needed to know that people cared for her, and she needed to know she was perfect just the way she was.

He wanted to know everything about her. If it were just up to him, he would tie her to a chair and make her talk, but Jace would probably tell him that was too much. Damn Jace, always being the level-headed one.

“Are we going back to the club?” she asked when they started driving.

“We’d like to take you to our house for the night if that’s okay with you? If not, we can go back to the club,” Jace answered.

She seemed to ponder it for a minute but then nodded. “We can go to your house.”

It felt like a victory that she was trusting them enough to go home with them. Zane and Jace could see in her expressions that trust didn’t come easily for her, and they wanted to do whatever they could to show her that she was completely safe with them.

“Do you need anything from your house first? Medication or anything?” Zane asked.

“No. But I don’t have any extra clothes with me.”

Turning back to look at her, Zane smiled. “We have clothes at our house you can wear, baby doll. We have a fully stocked nursery.”

As soon as he said that, her expression changed and her eyes turned sad.

“What’s wrong, Ruby?” he asked.

When her bottom lip trembled, he felt as though his heart was being ripped out of his chest. Shit, he was already in deep.

“Nothing. It’s silly. I don’t need anything from my house,” she said quietly.

Jace pulled over to the side of the road and parked the car. Both men got out of the front and opened the back doors, sliding in on each side next to her.

Cupping her chin, Zane tilted her head back so she was looking up at him.

“Nothing you ever think or feel is silly. And we don’t lie to each other in this relationship. So tell us why you suddenly went from our happy Little girl to our sad Little girl,” Zane said.

He released her chin but reached out and grabbed one of her hands while Jace grabbed the other.

“You must bring a lot of Littles to your house if you have a fully stocked nursery with clothes and everything,” she mumbled sadly.

Oh, their sweet, sweet girl. If she only knew. He hated that she was so torn up by those thoughts but at the same time, knowing it bothered her so much was a confirmation as to how she felt about them as well.

“Baby girl, we haven’t brought a Little home with us in years. The last Little we brought home was one that we were in a relationship with for a month before we brought her home. After she broke up with us, we redid the entire nursery so everything in there is new and untouched,” Jace explained.

Ruby looked up at both of them, her eyes shining with unshed tears.

“We’re Daddies to the core and we have always hoped to find our forever Little, so we keep the nursery ready for when the time comes. We’ve bought clothes in all sizes, and whatever sizes don’t fit the Little we bring home, we’ll donate to the club for other Littles,” Zane added.

“You’ve only known me for a week,” she whispered.

Both men nodded.

“Yes, but the moment we both met you, you were imprinted into us, and we feel more for you than we’ve ever felt for anyone else. You’re special, Ruby, and we don’t want to waste any time showing you that. We’ll go as slow as you need us to, but we just know you’re meant to be ours,” Jace said.

Looking down at her lap, she twisted her fingers together nervously. Zane hated seeing her so torn up. He wanted to know what was going through her mind and why she was so scared.

“You guys will get tired of me. I’m too much work and I need too much attention and I have too many issues,” she said quietly.

Reaching out, Zane cupped her chin so she was forced to look at him.

“We’ll never get tired of you. Do you know why we like to share? It’s because we want someone who needs two Daddies so we can provide all the attention she wants and needs. We want someone who needs us as much as we need her. You know, most women in the past have broken up with us because they don’t like the amount of attention we give them. You will never be too much for us and whoever put that thought into your head is an idiot because you’re perfect just the way you are,” Zane said before he crashed his mouth onto hers.

Ruby gasped in surprise but was soon moaning into his mouth as he used his tongue to part her lips and allow him access. He didn’t care that they were pulled over in a neighborhood. He needed to show his baby girl that she was wanted.

As soon as Zane lifted his lips from her mouth, Jace cupped her chin and turned her to face him as he kissed her just as forcefully.

Her little moans made his cock so hard he was in pain, but he didn’t care.

Reaching out, Zane brushed his fingers against the swell of her breasts, making her cry out into Jace’s mouth. The damn harness of her booster seat was blocking him from touching her pussy, but that was probably for the best. They needed to get her home and get her comfortable so they could show her how much she meant to them.

When Jace pulled away from their kiss, all of them were panting with need.

“Get us home so we can finish this,” Zane said.

Jace nodded and got out of the backseat. As the car started moving again, Ruby leaned her head on Zane’s shoulder and sighed.

“That’s it, baby girl. Relax and let us take care of you.”
