“Get to the point Jackson,” I threatened.

“Amber did deals with them behind your back a few months ago, did you know that?” Mai stepped in. “She made a hell of a lot of money for it too.”

“Why does that matter?” I glared at her.

Mai went to answer, but Jax cut in.

“It doesn’t. What matters is her relationship with you and your brothers,” Jax stepped in, a deep glare in his eyes. “I can’t deal with her going crying to you every time she has a problem with me. If Cole had spoken to me like he did today any other time, he would have had a bullet between his eyes. It is time you boys were reminded of your position.”

“Position?” I growled.

“A bullet between my eyes?” Cole snapped from the top of the stairs. “You couldn’t pull the trigger if you wanted to.” Cole stomped down the stairs and pointed at Mai. “I told you to get that bitch out hours ago,” he growled.

“Things changed.” Mai smirked up at him. “Jax can’t have a witness to your disrespect. Jax wouldn’t want anyone else to know how much of a pushover he is now.”

“Mai!” Jax growled at her.

“What Jax? It isn’t my fault that you let your boys walk all over you now.” She placed a hand on her hip. “Or should I say that you let your missus control you so much.”

“What do you mean come crying to us? Fuck, do you not know Amber at all?” Cole snorted, not standing next to me. I had a feeling Cole was just waiting for the right words and then he was going to launch at Jax.

“Back off Cole, it is finished,” Jax warned. “I broke it off.”

“What? You really broke it off?” I hadn’t actually taken him seriously before. Shit. I just gave her the keys to my bike. Fuck.

“I can’t date someone who doesn’t trust me,” Jax snapped “Not that it is any of your business.”

Cole chuckled evilly, and even I was arching an eyebrow at him.

“You think Amber didn’t trust you? She didn’t trust the whore. And Amber didn’t come crying to me about it.” Cole stepped up and was in Jax’s face. “It seems more like you didn’t trust her,” he snapped.

Jax didn’t push Cole away like I was expecting.

“And that deal you think Amber did behind your back. Wasn’t what you thought neither. She had only met Blake’s Uncle once, and it was at a Christmas party.”

“Amber told us to back off, and we did,” Cole smirked at him. “But now we have nothing to worry about. Amber won’t have anything to do with you now.”

“She didn’t go to you thinking I was having an affair with Mai?” Jax asked as he took a step back from Cole. “Then why did you break down my door threatning me?”

What a surprise? Cole had something to do with this. His hot head always got us in trouble.

“Just brother love.” Cole shrugged his shoulders “Plus, I hate Mai.”

Mai made some nasty gagging noise.

“But Mai heard you and Amber talking. When Mai went out to call her dad, she heard Amber crying to you,” Jax said, and then all our eyes turned to Mai.

She looked innocent, but we all knew her better than that.

“What?” She rolled her eyes. “So maybe I lied. Jax come on, she was costing you the club. When I heard how controlled you were, I had to come see it for myself.”

“You lied?” Jax growled at her through gritted teeth.

“Why would you believe her over Amber anyway?” Cole snapped at him.

“Because of what you did tonight,” Jax roared at Cole. “Because of the two of you!” Jax looked between Cole and Mai.

“Jax, I did you a favor tonight. Everyone knows a great leader doesn’t have a missus,” Mai defended herself. “Please! You saw how protective Cole was of her, and how little respect he had for you. All I did was come up with a reason after that for you to get rid of Amber and take back your position.”
