Infatuation (Club Destiny #4)(55)
Author: Nicole Edwards

“That’s for damn sure.” Tag had been quite impressed himself after reading McKenna’s article before she gave it to Luke for his blessing. After reading it, Tag knew damn well there was no way this couldn’t at least help their cause.

“How is she doing anyway?” Cole asked.

“With what?”

“The exclusive. Luke told me that she figured you guys out and insisted she be given the real tour.”

That she did. And although Tag wasn’t keen on the idea, he knew he had no choice. She was correct to assume there was something more than the brief introduction she’d received to the private quarters of Club Destiny. And that’s all they really were. The real action was, in fact, in the second club that still had never been mentioned in the media.

Luke and Logan had been brilliant to come up with a general admission club that would receive the interest of the general public, and they had never denied the additional area sanctioned off for members only above the club. However, the second club, the one without a distinguishable entrance, had never been mentioned.

Until now.

McKenna Thorne was too smart for her own good as far as he was concerned. While the issue wasn’t showing her the second club, subjecting her to what went on there was something he wasn’t quite comfortable with. Yet. Not to mention, Samantha, Sierra and Ashleigh didn’t even know about the second club and the men they were with had worked diligently to keep it from them.

The men weren’t prone to keeping secrets, but there was a sense of possessiveness that came along with their relationships, and from what Tag knew, Luke, Logan, Cole and Alex weren’t interested in sharing them the way it would be expected if they were to show up there.

Now Tag had been backed into a corner.

“I’m not sure how I’m going to work that one out yet,” Tag told Cole as they waited for their food.

“Well, you better come up with something soon.”

“How’s Sierra doing?” Tag redirected the conversation.

“Amazing as always.”

Again, Tag saw the love in Cole’s eyes when he talked about his lover. “I know you aren’t sharing it with anyone, but do you actually know who the baby’s father is?”

He wasn’t sure why he asked the question, but he had wondered about it ever since Luke and Sierra announced the pregnancy at dinner with the Walker brothers not too long ago.

Cole didn’t look happy with the question, but to Tag’s surprise, he answered. “We do.”

Unsure where to go from there Tag glanced around trying to think of something that would be neutral ground for both of them. To his surprise, Cole continued.

“Do you think Sierra should marry the baby’s father?”

Tag noticed that his brother wasn’t sharing exactly who the father was.

“Why?” Tag didn’t understand what the benefit would be, but he understood Cole’s insecurity.

“Shit, I don’t know.”

“Have the three of you discussed it?”

“Not in depth, no. I mentioned it last week, and Sierra got pissed at me.”

“Do you want her to marry the baby’s father?” Tag didn’t care which one of them was the father because as far as he was concerned, their baby would be more than loved by the three of them. And even if they didn’t have the traditional family, that didn’t mean it was wrong.

“Not necessarily.”

“What’s really going on, Cole?” Tag didn’t grow up with Cole, nor had they ever been close like real brothers, but they had become friends over the years and he knew him. There was something truly bothering him.

“I guess I’m just having a hard time figuring out how it’s all supposed to work. Who does the baby call ‘daddy’?”

“Both of you?” That was the logical answer to Tag.

“Does it work like that?”

“Why wouldn’t it? Same sex couples have children all the time. This wouldn’t be much different. Regardless who the birth father is that doesn’t make either of you less than the other.”

Cole became instantly fascinated with his beer bottle, and Tag left it at that. He might be able to dish out advice, but admittedly, he didn’t have the first clue what it would actually feel like to be in a relationship as complicated as theirs.

The only thing he did know, they loved each other. That was clear. And from Tag’s interaction with the trio, he never got the impression that any one of them loved one person more than the other. And as long as they were happy, what the fuck did it matter anyway?

“I heard you’re meeting with Travis this afternoon,” Cole said when his eyes met Tag’s once more. Shit, at this rate, he was going to have whiplash trying to keep up.
