A little while later Cillian ambled in with a tray full of coffee and bacon and egg pancakes. The smell was heavenly.

I hopped up and pulled on my knickers and Finn’s gym t-shirt again.

“I love you in that.” He kissed my brow then sat opposite me at the small round table.

The food was delicious, and we all wolfed it down. Sex clearly built up an appetite in us all.

There was a knock at the door.

“Yeah?” Cillian called.

“It’s me, Mitch.”

“Come in,” Finn said then drained his coffee.

Mitch wandered in. His black jeans, black rollneck sweater, and dark hair gave the impression of some kind of badass undercover James Bond. And I’d guess he had the body to go with it. The width of his shoulders and the bulge of his biceps proved he was a gym-goer.

“How you doing?” He set his attention on me.

“I’m good. Thanks.”

“Amy wants to see you, she’s called me twice already this morning.”

“She has?”

“Yeah.”

“Oh…and yes, yes, you’re right. I do need to go over there.”

“I’m free if you want me to walk you,” Mitch said.

I studied him and tried to read between the lines. He liked Amy. Mitch wanted to see Amy. That was what he was reallysaying. He wasn’t offering to walk me out of the good of his heart. He had an ulterior motive.

How did I feel about him wanting to see my Amy?”

He seemed like a decent guy, He was a cop. He was friends with my men, and from what I’d heard he’d had a role in getting me back safely the day before. But he was in Galahad, a masked vigilante group. He was a cop who played down and dirty in the gray lines of the law, and I didn’t really know how I felt about that.

I cleared my throat. Being too protective over Amy was something I needed to work on. She was a grown-ass adult and had to expand the number of people in her life. But should Mitch be one of them?

“We need to get to the gym,” Finn said. “Or at least one of us does.”

That decided it for me. “You guys go, both of you, it’s work after all. I’ll head over to Amy’s with Mitch, give her a hug, prove I’m alive and well, and then I’ll go to my place. Perhaps I’ll cook for us all this evening.”

The twins glanced at each other.

“What?”

“I guess we’ve got used to having you close and we like it.” Cillian shrugged.

I laughed. “And I like it, too, but I have things to do, and thanks to you guys I can get on with it.” I stood and pressed a kiss to first Finn’s lips and then Cillian’s.

Cillian squeezed my butt quite openly in front of Mitch.

I turned to him. “I’ll shower quickly and then come down, is that okay?”

“Sure thing.” Mitch shoved his hands into his jeans pockets. “I’ll be waiting.”

Forty-five minutes later, I pressed the intercom on Amy’s apartment.
