“Got sick and tired of the soundof babies crying.It’s so fucking annoying.The club is a place formen and to do what we want.Their old ladies start popping out thebrats, and suddenly our club is a fucking crèche.”Zero shook hishead.“I’m not looking to take care of babies, but I’m looking fora fuck.”
“Not even if Sophia asksyou?”Killer asked.
The way Zero looked at Sophia showedeveryone in the club what the man thought about her.Killer hadwatched him lusting after the other woman.
“What the fuck you talkingabout?”Zero grew tense.
“I’m not blind, and everyoneknows you’ve got a thing for Nash’s girl.”Killer stopped talkingas the waitress brought them back more beer.
“If you need anything, honey,call me.I meananything,” the waitress said, walking off.
“I’ll be fucking her by theend of the night.”
“Are you sure?”Killerasked.
“Look, what I feel for Sophia isno one’s business but mine.I’m not going to act on it, and if Iwant a screw whatever cunt I want, I will.Tiny’s already given methe lecture, okay.”
“I know.Poaching anotherbrother’s girl is going to land you in shit.”
Zero glared at him.“Sophia wouldn’t giveme the time of day.I’m not going to do anything to cause problems.Drop it.”His arms were folded, and his defenses wereup.
Leaning forward, Killer stared at theother man.“Would you?”
“Would I what?”
“If Sophia responded or gave youany sign that she wanted something from you, would you give in, orwould you leave it alone?”
Zero didn’t answer for a fewminutes.“I’d do something about it, all right.You want to gorunning off telling Nash and Tiny how I’d bang his woman at thefirst opportunity then fucking do it.I’msick of hiding from this shit.”Hedowned his shot of whiskey then started on his beer.
“What is it about her?”Killer asked.
“What is it about Kelsey?Youanswer that, and then I’ll talk about my woman.Fuck, we weresupposed to be getting away from this crap, not talking about itall the time.”
Killer stayed silent, staring at theother man.
“See, you talk about yourwoman, andthen I’ll talk about mine.Until then, keep your nose out of myfucking business.”Zero stared at the dance floor.Steven was gone,and so were the two blonde bunnies.
“What happened to you?”Killer asked, changing the subject.
“What do youmean?”
“When Snitch attacked.Where did you go?”
Over a year ago Snitch andanother motorcycle club known as The Darknesshad attacked them leaving two oftheir men dead.One of them was Time, whom Killer had known fromhis days in The Lions.Killer ended up getting back to Fort Willswhere he protected the women who stayed behind the best he could.He knew Tiny had ended up in Vegas and others inhospitals.
“I’ve got a friend who lives overforty miles out.She put me up and made sure no one knew about mypresence.”Zero closed down, growing silent.His face shut off allexpression.Killer wondered what the hell was going on.
“A woman?”
“Yeah, I’m not some fucking perv,and it’s not like that.She’s the sister of an old friend.”Zerolooked out toward the dance floor.
The redhead approached before Killer gotanother word in.
“Hey, gorgeous, are youplanning on asking a lady to dance?”she asked, talking tohim.
Killer looked up at her gleaming redhair.She wasn’t too young.Her eyes showed too much knowledge fora young woman.Kelsey at the ripe age of twenty-six still showed agreat deal of innocence.
Thinking about Kelsey and remembering thesmug look on that bastard’s face, Killer finished off his beer andgrabbed the woman’s arm.He didn’t lead her out onto the dancefloor.Killer took her around the back of the bar.
