“You can do better, that’s all I’m saying.”
“Yeah? Like who? You?” I was all for being blunt right now. This was ruining my buzz and the one night I had set aside to get my heart fucking straight. Eric was the guy I SHOULD be with.
Tony didn’t answer. He just walked away, grabbed Harley, and headed upstairs to fuck her. I got a beer.
“He likes you, he just isn’t ready to admit it. Hell, I bet he’s secretly hoping you’ll burst up there, kick Harley out, and take him instead,” Seth came up to tell me, Reagen by his side.
“In his dreams,” I said, throwing back the beer Eric paid for.
“Oh, come on, Kara, we all know you two fucked already.”
“That was due to a lot of vodka. Neither of us even remember that night.”
“Well, maybe you need to fuck again,” Austin said, putting in his two cents as fucking always.
“Maybe you’re just hoping I fuck you instead,” I said to him, but they both had a fucking point. If Tony wanted me, and I wanted Tony, then maybe it was time I did something. I was no shy bitch. I was a fucking Harley queen. Austin put his hands up in defense, about to say something, when I pointed at him. “Want a show, shit stirrer? Buy me two shots of something strong, and I’ll knock that whore right off his cock.”
“That’s the bitch I know,” Reagen said as Austin complied, bringing me one shot of something clear, probably vodka, and the other smells of tequila. I downed them, knowing I didn’t want those two to get too far, though part of me hoped the ass couldn’t get it up.
I stomped upstairs, all eyes on me until I made it to his room. I hesitated at the door. Then, I pushed it open. Harley screamed.
“Get the fuck out of here, Kara!”
“You get out, you fucking whore!” I told Harley.
“What the fuck are you doing?” Tony asked, but he had little conviction. Harley was butt fucking naked, but they clearly hadn’t done anything yet.
“You’re crazy,” Harley said, challenging me, her tits flopping as she put her hands on her hips. “Tony?” she asked him as if he was going to kick me out after his display downstairs. He didn’t tell her to go, but he didn’t tell me to go either.
Fucking men.
“Shut up and get out!” I went up to her, grabbing her by the hair as she squealed and begged for more help. I threw her out the door. “You should be used to people pulling that shit by now, whore!” I closed the door behind Harley and stripped out of my clothes.
“Kara, get the fuck out!” Tony said suddenly.
“Shut up!”
“I don’t want to fuck you, bitch. I want to fuck Harley. Get out and get her back in here.”
“After that display down there, you want me to get out? Asshole!” I slapped him and then got dressed and marched out. “He’s all yours,” I told Harley. She glared at me but walked away, not wanting any more of either of our crazy. And I wished I could erase it as well, but Austin and some of the others had followed us up to see the drama firsthand.
Austin and Seth were laughing. “Oh, he’s going to regret that,” Austin said through titters. “Mark my words.”
“Shut the fuck up, Austin!” I headed for the door and then remembered I came on Tony’s bike, and he had the keys. “Fuck!” I went back to the table and got another beer. Reagen came over. She was drinking sarsaparilla.
“I fucking hate men,” I said.
“No, you don’t,” she said gently. “You’re just pissed Tony would rather fuck a whore than you.”
“He punched Eric. If he didn’t want to fuck me, why did he punch Eric?”
“Because he was jealous of Eric, and now he’s trying to make you jealous. The fact that you went up there and threw yourself at him proved his point,” Seth said. “Give him time, he’ll come around. He’s fighting it, but like Austin said, he’s into you, so just give his head time to catch up to his heart. If you do that, he’ll be yours.”
“Maybe I don’t want him.”
“I think you do. We all feel the chemistry, the heat between you two. There’s no doubt about it. He’s the Prez, well one of them, so he thinks he has to be big and tough and he thinks love makes you weak, makes you a fool. Sure, I guess it does, but there’s also a power, a strength there. He just hasn’t learned that yet, but he will.”
Chapter 14
Tony
The Crypt Keepers left the club, but on the way back to their clubhouse they were attacked on the road.
I rode out with every able-bodied man I could get. There were twelve bikes that rode out from the bar and headed off to lend aid to our allies. We had weapons at the ready. Tonight, we would shed blood, and hopefully not lose too many in the process.
None, if I could help it.
We found the Crypt Keepers at the park, defending their territory from the attackers. They were in the heat of a gun fight, and this time, I saw the black clothing of the Shadow Order. These were trained shooters, not some unorganized MC. I didn’t want to lose morale by saying we were fucked, but it didn’t feel good.
We made our presence known to the attackers, and they turned from the Crypt Keepers to shoot at us, the real targets, surely. They must have gotten word about the alliance and put a hit out. Or rather, Maxum did.
We shot back and the Crypt Keepers kept up a constant stream of bullets. We stayed back far enough so none of their bullets would hit us and none of ours would hit them. We peppered the attackers with a sea of bullets coming from every angle.
