“That kid loves you.”
“I know.” Her heart easing a little, Meggie smiled. “It’s just…he’s not even seventeen yet and club life is already luring him away from being my potato.”
Leaning forward, Bunny hugged her. “He’ll always be your potato, babe. Don’t dwell on that right now. It’ll just make you sadder.”
“You’re right. I didn’t text you to lay my burdens at your feet. It’s a non-issue. My husband explained it all to me.I’mjust pathetically jealous.”
Straightening and leaning back in the chair, Bunny grinned. “You have a right to be. I probably still wouldn’t speak to Mark, if he did that shit to me. I’m a petty bitch.”
“I told Christopher to get the check back or put a stop to it, but she does have a child. I was being petty overmydaughter. That isn’t fair to that little boy.”
She smiled, willing herself to do the right thing for Torie’s son. Christopher lovedher. They’d discussed everything. She needed to move on.
“Other women are a part of club life,” Meggie said aloud, as much to remind herself as it was to talk to Bunny. “And they still do a lot to get Christopher’s attention. We always laugh about it amongst ourselves and with our husbands.”
“Can you even fuck?”
Johnnie’s question intruded on Meggie’s peace. She swallowed, her eyes stinging.
“Hey, babe, it’s okay. Really. Torie doesn’t mean anything to Outlaw. I mean, remember when that girl stuck a pair of dirty underwear in Mark’s pocket, with a note and her phone number?” Bunny forced a laugh. “She’d been flirting with him for days. I was pregnant with Cove, very emotional, and quite mad at Mark. Especially when he told me she’d also brought himcondoms.”
A very nice opening.
“I remember. I thought it was so gross that she’d leftusedpanties. Christopher said her scent was meant to entice Digger.” Meggie wrinkled her nose. “All the evidence of her period…it was so gross.”
“Fuck, babe. Don’t remind me.” Bunny clasped her hands in front of her and yawned. “I still think about hunting that bitch down and fucking her up.”
“If you’re tired, why don’t you go home? You’ve been working overtime here.”
“Mark’s in heaven. He can do biker dude stuff again without having to look after the kids.”
“I don’t think he’ll ever forgive me because you started tutoring.”
“My brother and my mom also suggested it. Mark didn’t say shit to her or Gabe.”
“Then, it must be the baby. He thinks I’m influencing you.”
Bunny gave her a sad smile. “It’s probably both,” she admitted. “Never mind that I’ve never changed in my desire to have a little girl. I just want to try one more time. If it’s another boy, I’ll give up.”
“He needs to lay off, Bunny. I was horrified when Christopher told me what he’d done. If Digger doesn’t stop, I’m worried he’ll end up with more than a cigarette burn.”
“I know.” Bunny sighed. “Outlaw is on edge and you aren’t at your optimal. I’ve asked Mark to talk to you. He keeps refusing.”
“He won’t answer my texts. He is truly angry with me.”
Derby didn’t like her for her interference. Maybe, shedidmake Christopher unhappy like Johnnie said.
“I don’t want to hold you up too much longer.” Thinking of how best to broach this, she pressed her lips together and crossed her legs, settling her clasped hands on her knee. “It’s funny that you brought up condoms.”
She laughed nervously.
Amusement marched across Bunny’s face.
“I…you know…condoms…well…I-I’ve never used one.”
“You don’t have a cock, so that’s excellent to know.”
“You aren’t making this any easier, Albany Banks!” Meggie said around peals of laughter.
