I’d never been so excited to see a sex club in my life when I spotted the first sign to the club. I kept thinking that the longer I took the more they were going to fall for whatever slim, beautiful woman they were talking to. That thought sent me charging up the front steps, breathing hard, covered in sweat.
Security stepped out to stop me and the giant guy actually winced and held up his hands when I barreled towards him.
“Ma’am! You can’t—”
“Tell Hunter that Harley is here. Harley Beau. Please!” I bent over and dry heaved for a distracting second while the guard spoke into his wrist.
“Fine. You can go in. Clean yourself up before you join the club, please.”
I shot him a look.
“Pretty fucking judgy of you.”
He probably wasn’t as offended because I had to gasp for breath between words. I pushed past him and then I was in.Hunter was walking down the hallway when I charged in. Her eyes widened when she saw me.
“Jesus! What happened to you?”
I didn’t have time to talk or to get cleaned up. My men were trying on a different woman for size and I had to put a stop to it. I dodged around Hunter and stormed into the main part of the club like a warrior. My worst fears were confirmed when I saw the same setup as the night I was auctioned off. Those assholes thought they were going to bid on someone else? Get themselves a newer version who answered her phone and didn’t have crazy daddy issues? Good luck finding a woman selling herself at an auction without those!
I marched towards the stage, bypassing people in all sorts of dress and sexual acts. It didn’t even phase me. My glare was focused on the stage where a curvy black-haired woman was standing next to the announcer in way more clothes than I’d been allowed to wear and a mask of confusion on her pretty face.
“And we have a last-minute beauty. You weren’t on my paperwork, sweetheart. What’s your name?”
The woman in thick, black-rimmed glasses looked around wildly before gazing back at the announcer. “Um… Sutton?”
Before the announcer could say another word I stomped up the steps to the stage and yanked the mic from him.
“You’re finished.”
CHAPTER 54
Harley
Maybe-Sutton let out a giant gust of breath and muttered something that sounded like ‘thank god’ before darting off the stage. She disappeared into the crowd in a trail of almond scented air.
“Hey. You can’t be up here.”
When the man on stage with me reached for the mic I lost my mind. I bit his hand and growled at him like a feral cat.
“Get the hell away from me. I have something to say.”
“You crazy bitch! You bit me!”
“You think that’s bad? Wait until you see what I do next, asshole.” I glared out at the crowd and bared my teeth. “Maddox, Jace, and Luc Silver! If you really thought you were going to get rid of me this easily, you’re sorely mistaken! You don’t get to leave messages claiming to care about me and then come bid on an easier replacement! Get your asses up here so I can tell you off face-to-face! There’s no way you’re leaving this club with Harley 2.0 without a fucking fight. I’m pregnant, I just ran about fifty miles to get here, and now I’ve got a room full of half-naked folks staring at me like I’ve lost my mind. I deserve the chance to verbally cut you!”
Hunter showed up on stage next to me.
“Babe. What the hell are you doing?”
“I’m here to tell my stupid men off. I broke Belinda trying to get to them fast enough, just to find that they’rehere. They’re looking to replace me after they said they’d wait on me.” I glared out at the crowd. “Don’t try to hide. Come out and deal with this like men!”
“Yeah, all that’s fine, babe, but you look wild and you’re causing a scene. I need you to get off the stage.” She took my arm and tugged me towards the steps. “Let me take care of you and then we can find them if they’re here.”
“I’m not going anywhere until I find them. I’m not going to wait around while they finish up with whatever woman they chose. I won’t do it. Do you know where they are? Are they in one of the back rooms already? Oh, god. I think I’m going to vomit.” I was getting ready to find the nearest ice bucket to toss my cookies into when a door slammed open off to the side of the room and three big figures came towards the stage.
My heart split open when I saw my guys marching towards me, faces furious. Luc climbed the steps to the stage and I glanced over to see if Hunter would help me but she’d made herself scarce that fast. I swallowed a lump in my throat and decided to face Luc with as much dignity and anger as I could. After all, they were at a sex club without me.
Luc stopped in front of me and for a split second I saw the anger drop as he scanned my body and his eyes caught on my little bump. By the time he got back to my eyes the anger was back. He took in the way I’d lifted my chin to face off with him and growled. “On your knees.”
