Page 16 of Her Forever Daddies

Zane froze in place and stared at her and Jace knew his friend was itching to spank her smart little bottom. But they had some things to figure out with her before that could happen. Neither of them would spank her without an agreement in place first.

“Young lady, you are skating on very thin ice right now. I suggest you stop with the back talk and start answering us respectfully. We were truly worried something had happened to you,” Jace said calmly.

Her eyes widened, obviously surprised that he was being so stern with her.

She took in a deep breath and then sighed. “I fell asleep. I didn’t mean to. I’ve just been so tired and then when one of Jace’s calls woke me up, I started panicking to get ready. I was in such a hurry that I forgot my phone.”

Zane walked closer to her until he was within arm’s reach and then pressed his hand to her forehead.

“Why are you so tired? Are you sick? Why didn’t you call us and tell us you were sick? We could have come and taken care of you,” he said, pressing the back of his hand to her cheeks.

Ruby grabbed onto his wrist, stilling his hand, and smiled up at him. “I’m not sick, you big worry wart. I just haven’t been sleeping well.”

“Why didn’t you answer when you saw me calling, Ruby? If you had answered and told us you fell asleep, you wouldn’t have had to rush around trying to get here. I don’t even want to ask if you were speeding,” Jace said.

She shrugged. “I just panicked and didn’t think. I’m sorry. I’m not used to having to be places.”

Zane looked back at Jace with furrowed eyebrows. What did she mean she wasn’t used to having to be places? That was kind of odd.

“Who was that girl?” she whispered.

Jace looked at Ruby, who suddenly looked dispirited, and he wondered if she was jealous of Gabby. The thought made him smile inside, but at the same time, he never wanted Ruby to worry about her place with them. And what place was that exactly? Theirs? Not yet, but Jace felt something for her that he had never felt for another woman. Not even Erin, the only woman that he and Zane had dated for more than six months.

“Gabby works for the club. She comes in during the day for a few hours and cleans. She leaves each day around one. Her Daddy is one of our close friends.”

Relief swam in her eyes and Jace realized she had truly been worried about who Gabby was to them. Hmm. Maybe their feelings for her would be reciprocated.

Stepping closer to her, Jace boxed her in with his hands as Zane stood only a foot or so away. Leaning down so his face was close to hers, he stared into her eyes.

“You have captured our attention, little girl. Only you. We haven’t stopped thinking about you since the other night,” Jace said calmly.

He watched as she sucked in a breath and studied his face closely before she glanced up to Zane. He nodded.

“Jace is telling the truth, baby. I want you. Something about you is calling to us and we can’t ignore it. But you are in trouble. I have a feeling you’re going to be in trouble a lot with us,” Zane said, leaning his hip against the side of his desk right next to where she was sitting.

Her mouth dropped open, making Jace grin.

“But you’re not my Zaddy,” she said before looking at Jace. “Or my Daddy.”

Leaning forward, Jace kissed her forehead. “Maybe not yet, but we want to be.”

Pulling his hands away from the desk, Jace picked her up and smiled when she automatically wrapped her legs around his waist as he settled her on his hip. He carried her to the couch and sat down, situating her on his lap as Zane sat down next to him.

“We assume since you were here by yourself the other night that you’re single?” Jace asked.

She nodded, a sad look flickering in her eyes, making him want to pull her in to comfort her, but they still had questions to ask.

“Are you interested in us being your Daddies?” Zane asked.

Leave it to Zane to lay it all out there.

Ruby squirmed on his lap, making his hardening cock press more painfully against his zipper. Placing his hands on her hips, he stilled her and shook his head slightly when she peered up at him from under her lashes.

“Sit still, little girl. Answer Zane.”

“What girl wouldn’t be interested in you guys being their Daddies? You guys are hot as fuck.”

“Language!” Zane snapped.
