“Not yet.”

Five minutes later, she was all caught up on Officer Sofia Fielding and her one-woman campaign to get the Renegade Souls arrested.

“So far, it’s just annoying shit, but the woman has a crazy tick, she isn’t all there ever since Tag dumped her ass and got married.”

“She needs a good slap from my punching hand.”

“Calm down, Tyson Fury, you know she’d arrest you if you tried,” Ruby told Luxe.

“It would be worth it.Puta.”

Just then, a tall man strode through the door, he stopped to talk to the older couple. He was so striking that Lucia trailed off from listening to the girl’s conversation. “Wow,” she muttered to herself as she watched him catch his shoulder-length hair in his hands and tie it into a knot.

“That’s Rider, the Prez.” Chuckled Poppy. Lucia blushed for being caught staring. “Don’t worry, he has that effect on all the women.”

“He got married recently,” added Winter, “bet he’s looking for Zara for a little some-some.”

“So, you and Capone then?” Asked Luxe, her sleek black ponytail hanging down her back, and she was tapping blood-red nails on her leg. “Are you here to fight with him?”

“Oh, no,” she answered, remembering why she was here. “I came to seduce him.”

The group cracked up laughing.

“Didn’t I tell you I’d like this chica? Me and Nathan have the best hate-fucks.”

“Luxe, you and Grinder never need an excuse to bang.”

“Pot meet kettle,” Luxe scoffed, pointing the finger at Roux. “We all heard what you and Butcher were up to last week.” Roux smirked and buffed her nails. “I was out of town at a card game, of course, my man welcomed me home.”

“How are you going to seduce him if you guys are fighting?” The question came from Angela, the youngest woman there. She’d been writing in a school notebook until now.

Lucia chewed on her lower lip, it wasn’t like she had any experience with angry sex or seducing Capone out of a bad mood. For all she knew, he could kick her ass out.

But she was determined.

She also knew how to turn him on, which also was a bonus.

“I don’t know, I thought I’d attack him.”

It was met with agreeing noises.

“You could boss him around, my Snake loves that.”

“Get into a bigger argument. It drives Grinder wild. He loves calming me down. Sometimes I pretend to be pissed off, so he’ll get me off,dios, that man.”

Another hottie, much younger this time, strolled over to their seating area. “Let’s go.” He clicked fingers at Angela. The girl pinned the man with a stare cold enough to strip paint from the walls. “Don’t click at me like I’m a poodle, not if you want those fingers to stay attached.”

The man chuckled, unrepentant. “Sorry,mamacita, I’m in a hurry to grab the kids.”

“Fine,” Angela sighed, climbing to her feet, “you’re buying me some fries, I haven’t eaten.”

When they left, Lucia asked, “Is that her boyfriend?”

“Not if he wants to keep breathing,” Roux answered with a chuckle.

Lucia was too much in her head to ask for further gossip.

“Hey, girlie, your boy is in the back,” called out Jed.
