Page 59 of Rowdy & Kat

“Want to see my boys?” I asked Rock when he frowned at my mom for too long.

“I already know what they look like from the constant pictures you sent everyone.”

“Oh, I get it. You’re a lumbering fool and know you’ll wake them up with your giant fucking feet. No, you’re right. Just stick to pictures, you stupid cow.”

Ignoring my taunt, he asked, “Can I have some barbecue?”

“Sure, man. The more, the merrier.”

Kat grinned at our banter, having heard my many stories about us. As Rock filled a plate, Clint spoke up.

“Hanzee is very interested in your cats. I might bring him back.”

Ivy smiled at Clint like he was an angel for babying their dog. I knelt next to Goblin and wondered if he would ever give up on the staring contest with Witchy and Wicked.

“There’s no way you can stay here overnight if you keep them pinned under the couch,” I said while stroking his little body. “They need to drink and eat, poop and pee, sleep and climb on their mommies.”

“You’ll be staying with us tonight, right?” Clint asked Maria while I gave up on drawing Goblin’s attention away from the cats.

Maria looked at Kat and hesitated. “I thought I should stay overnight in the nursery. Kat, Rowdy, and I have a routine for overnight feedings.”

“It’s okay for you to have a break,” Kat said, despite gripping Maria’s hand. “I’m mostly back to normal.”

“You’ll need to deal with the stairs,” Maria said, stepping closer to Kat. “You’ll likely feel worse than you did back home.”

“Isn’t their twin bond adorable?” I asked everyone while resting my hands on their shoulders. “I think Maria should stay here until she’s ready for more privacy. If she changes her mind, Clint’s place is right down the hall. No need to stress on our first night here.”

The twins were genuinely stressed, too. The idea of being apart had gotten them all worked up. I wasn’t sure how they would learn to live separately in the future.

Even hours after everyone had gone home, the twins remained attached at the hip. I finally took charge when they were yawning on the couch yet unwilling to separate.

“If you want to stay up and watch TV, don’t worry about the noise bothering us,” I told Maria while tugging Kat to her feet. “The ceiling fan upstairs muffles the noise. When Vanessa stayed over, she watched three ‘Die Hard’ movies without waking me.”

Maria glanced at the nursery before her gaze flashed upstairs. “I was more worried about the noises I’d hear if I stayed out here.”

Kat smiled. “Rowdy does get loud.”

“She isn’t wrong,” I told Maria while wrapping my arms around the front of Kat. “But we’re only playing around for now. By the time we get to full-blown penetration, you might want to be down the hall.”

Maria gasped before shaking her head. “Oh, you meant Clint and Ivy’s place.”

“Wait, did you think I meant a condo belonging to a single biker?” I teased while shuffling with Kat toward the stairs. “I bet he’s thinking about you, too, so there’s no harm in you imagining him naked.”

“I wasn’t doing that,” Maria insisted as she twisted to see us head upstairs.

“No one believes you,” I said, making Kat snicker.

“If you need anything, wake me up,” Kat said rather than tease her sister.

“We’ll hear the boys on the monitor,” I announced as Kat reached the top. “See you at the next feeding.”

As soon as we reached the upstairs bedroom, Kat peered over the railing to wave at her sister. I had to insist she get her ass cleaned up for bed.

“Back in Little Rock, we’d be in bed by now,” I reminded her. “We had a solid routine. The easiest way to settle in here is to mimic that routine.”

Kat disappeared into my bathroom and primped for our sexy fun. “What about your regular life in Little Memphis?”

“My regular life is over. I’m a taken man now with two sons and a woman to worry about.”
