"You can't be serious."
"I've been thinking about it, Ruby. I didn't just come to this conclusion."
"How can you have a new mate? Is that even possible?" Ruby's eyes went wide. "What will the brothers do once they discover this?"
"I don't know. I haven't thought about that. It's just that…"
"How did you come to this conclusion? Tell me," she demanded.
"It's that feeling; I remember the feeling..." I said, still massaging my chest. "It's the same way I felt that day the brothers showed up at the house—the way I feel around them most times. It's the same feeling. I know it doesn't make sense, but none of this made sense from the start."
"Having four mates doesn't make sense. Having a fifth wouldn't make much of a difference."
A gasp left Ruby's lips. "I can't believe this. Tell me more about this new guy."
"Okay," I began. I narrated my experience with the Playboy from start to finish.
"The guy didn't get arrested by the school authorities; that's weird," Ruby murmured.
