Page 96 of Reaper's Claim

“I’m interested if you have any tattoos, Abby. On that fine body.” Collins leaned back and watched me bend over the table. I giggled at his obviousness.

“Where the fuck is Roach?”

Reaper’s voice caught my attention.

I looked over at him smugly. “Asleep.” I answered his question and because I knew I was going to miss anyway. I didn’t even have a look at the balls, taking my shot while keeping my eyes locked with his. I knew I had missed by Reaper’s reaction.

“Nice try, Abby.” Collins patted me on the shoulder. “Now let’s see what you look like topless.”

“I think you are counting your chickens before they hatch, Collins.”

“Only three pieces of clothing on your body, sweetheat.” Collins threw an arm around my shoulders and pulled me into his side. “But there will be nothing when we are finished with you.”

I shrugged his arm off me just as Darren sunk a ball.

I looked at Kim. Ok, maybe we were in trouble.

Collins laughed “Ok, how you getting out of this one, Abby?”

“Undies,” Kim said and started to work her way out of hers.

“Maybe this wasn’t the brightest idea we have had.” I shook my head at her while getting one leg out and then pushing them down my right leg.

Kim swiped another beer and took the cue off me. “Hope you boys are ready to get naked.” She stumbled to the table, spilling her beer on the velvet.

There was something that not a lot of people knew about Kim. I don’t think even Trigger knew. She was a master of pool, but only when she was drunk. Brad knew because we had once played this trick on him.

“Don’t miss, Kim.” Darren taunted her.

“Never,” she said, taking her eyes off the ball and sinking one. “Start showing us skin, boys.”

“Come on, Collins. Strip.” I took his beer off him.

He gave me an amused look but nodded his head, taking his shirt off. God, the boy was fit.

“Don’t get so happy, Abby. I’m only one shot away from seeing what’s under those tiny clothes of yours.”

Kim had another shot, and all the girls in the room cheered when she sank another.

“Yeah, but in order for that to happen, Kim would have to miss.” I laughed as I watched him take off his pants.

While all the men in the room were groaning. Collins just smirked at me, pointing a finger.

“You set me up.”

“Me? Never.” I shook my head. Do I do it? Had I pushed the point home to Reaper enough? Or did he need to be shown I could have anyone I wanted? He wasn’t the only one with options. I glanced at him, and my eyes hardened as I saw his lips locked with the brunette’s. While he was kissing her, his eyes were on mine. Fuck it. “After all Collins, I need to know what I’m working with later.”

Kim lined up another ball. While her and Darren were discussing all the ways he was going to get her back for this, Kim just shrugged her shoulders and told him she would still be asleep when he rode out later, so he was all talk.

I noticed Trigger’s expression darken when Darren said they still had hours before that happened.

“Ok, no pressure or anything, but if you don’t sink this, we are in trouble,” I whispered in her ear and she shooed me away.

As if it was easy, Kim sank a ball down the other end of the table, and all the men in the room groaned with disgust.

I turned to Collins, smiling. “So are you a man of your word?”

“Fucking oath.” Collins handed me his beer and pulled down his boxers. It must have been at the same time as Darren.
