Page 97 of Hell & Back

Maverick grinned then answered, “I imagine you’re really wanting to get your hands on a woman. Since we’re on lockdown and the families are here, the sweet butts aren’t allowed to be here. Once the families leave, they’ll be back.”

“And when are the families leaving?” Did he sound a little to hopeful that it would be soon?

“As soon as the rest of the boys get back and the women get a chance to see they’re all right, people will be leaving.” Maverick patted him on the back.

The women were waiting to see if there men were all right? He could hardly wait to meet this bunch of pussies. If they were all as whipped as they sounded, it was going to be easy to get his payback.

“I guess Dagger is still with Ginny?” She’d been a real looker in back in the day and he’d have given his left nut if Dagger would have shared her with him just once. He was curious to see if her looks held up after Dagger kept planting all those babies in her belly. Hell, she’d been pregnant with number three when he’d gone away. “How many kids did they end up with?”

“Five,” Maverick chuckled.

“No shit?”

“No shit.”

Maybe he should go to the kitchen and get reacquainted with the ladies he knew and get introduced to the ones he didn’t. He’d lied to Maverick. He would most definitely fuck one of the old ladies if given half a chance. Especially Jane or Ginny. It would have the added “fuck you” to Mav and Dagger he’d be dreaming of. He was going to get even with every single brother who was there that day when the drug deal went bad and had left his ass there. He’d even fuck with the newer ones, too, if they got in his way.

“Bathrooms still in the same place?”

“Yeah.”

“Be back in a minute.”

On his way to the public bathrooms he got to wondering what his old room looked like. Had they kept it the way he left it or had someone else gotten it? He was reaching for the door knob when the door swung open from the inside.

“Oh my God!” A pretty young thing with strawberry blonde hair and startling blue eyes squeaked. “You scared me. I didn’t know you were there.”

“Sorry. Didn’t mean to scare you. I was just coming to check out my old room and wondering if someone else had it now or not. Guess you coming out answers that question. Hi. I’m Tinker.” He stuck out his hand.

She hesitated for a moment, then smiled at him and shook his hand. “I’m Kylie.”

“Hey, Kylie! You going to come help with the food?”

Tinker looked down the hall to see Jane calling for the young girl in front of him.

“Um. I gotta go.” She waited for him to back up before pulling the door closed and locking it. Smart thing not to trust him. “Nice meeting you.”

“Sure thing, sweetness.”

He backtracked and used the public bathroom. He started to go back to the bar and Maverick, but his stomach chose that moment to remind him he hadn’t eaten since last night. He detoured to the kitchen. Opening the door, every woman in the kitchen stopped what they were doing and stared at him. He had to admit it was a little disconcerting to be the focus of this particular group of women, especially since some of them were holding knives. They had an assembly line set up for making sandwiches that looked quite efficient. How many sandwiches were they making? Who was going to eat them all?

“I, uh, was just looking for a sandwich. I was hungry.”

“Oh, sure, Tinker. Here you go.” Jane handed him a sandwich on a plate with a handful of plain ruffled chips. “Would you mind bringing one to Maverick?”

“Sure.” He accepted the other plate then slowly backed out the door.

If he hadn’t been caught off guard by the number of women, he could have tried his flirting skills. He knew he’d be a little rusty and needed practice. Although, if he stuck with only socializing with the whores, he really didn’t need to be a brilliant conversationalist. With whores he didn’t have to work to wow them. He just fucked them and moved on. Maybe after he finished his sandwich he’d go back in there and try again.

On the heels of that thought a loud commotion started up at the door. He turned in time to see Race and three guys he didn’t recognize come through the door. The big dark-haired guy with the beard looked a little tired or like he’d just woken up.

The women must have heard all the noise they were making as they came in and had come running. Tinker watched in fascination as the young girl, Kylie, came running across the room, throwing herself at the big guy. She wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled him down and planted a big wet one on him. When she was finished she turned and planted one with equal enthusiasm on another guy standing next to him. What the fuck?

“That big bastard is Darren. The other one is Tuck and the woman is Kylie. Both men share her and are building a life together.”

“The fuck?”

“It works for them,” Maverick explained then took a big bite out of his sandwich.
