CHAPTER ONE #4
“What’s Jess doing? She making me a shit ton of money tonight?”
“Yeah. She’s going at it with a guy who wants to join.”
He got quiet. “What do you mean, ‘goin’ at it?’”
Bruiser swallowed hard. “Nothing. Just sucking him off good.”
“That better be it. The only one who fucks her is me.”
I looked down at Jess, concerned. This guy sounded mean as hell.
“I’m on my way.” He hung up abruptly.
“Shit.” Jess looked at me. “We have to go now.” She sashayed out of the hallway before I could stop her. “Bruiser,” she said in a whiny voice, “Kaia told me you got a nice dick. Is that true?”
Bruiser’s eyebrows shot up. “Yeah, baby. You want to see it? Try it out?” He looked guilty. “If you do, you gotta hurry. Skeeter is on his way.”
“Mmm,” Jess said, getting on her knees and pulling his dick out.
I looked away, not wanting to see what she was about to do. I hurried to the front with measured steps that were designed to make me look indifferent. I found Reynolds who had his eyes glued to an almost naked Nadine onstage.
“We have to get out of here. Now.”
He immediately jumped into action. He gave Nadine a look, she came to the edge of the stage, and he helped her down.
I eyed Jelly and gave her a subtle head nod.
She finished serving a guy, then walked over to us. We pretended to talk about nothing in particular for a moment.
But it was all business. “We have to get Nadine out of here. They’re about to try to, um… use her in ways no one is going to be happy with.”
“Where’s Jessica Fletcher,” Nadine asked breathlessly. I strained to keep my eyes well above her ample chest. I’d already fucked her sister today. I didn’t need to add ogling her to my list of sins.
“Let’s go,” Jelly said, suddenly taking over. I was fine with that. It allowed me to bring up the rear. I’d be able to snatch Jess up in my arms and we’d run to the car. I hoped Paolo was a decent driver.
We walked towards the front, where Bruiser was making noises like he might die. “Fuck, baby, I been wanting this for a long time.” He groaned as Jess stroked him, giving him a hand job. “I thought you was going to suck it,” he gasped out, and I shuddered again thinking of what she’d been through.
“Just give me a minute,” she smiled up at him. “You want the full experience, don’t you?”
“Fuck, yeah, I do.” He closed his eyes, getting ready to feel her mouth on him.
“Is that…” Nadine looked horrified. “Is that my sister?”
“Jesus,” Reynolds said. “We’ve got to get her the hell out of here.
“Yeah, this is not happening,” I growled, pushing past him. I wasn’t about to watch Jess have to do anything else with that awful man. He was old enough to be her granddad.
I punched Bruiser in the face, and he went down hard. I grabbed Jess, threw her over my shoulder, and we ran like hell to get to the car before anyone noticed something was up.
I practically threw Jess in the back seat as I swung into the passenger seat beside Paolo. “Go!”
He took off, everyone still closing doors and putting seat belts on.
“Jess, stay down back there,” I yelled, “get in the floorboard.”
As we approached the exit, I saw there was a skinny young guy ‘guarding’ the entrance. Wanting to appear normal, I rolled the window down. “This was great. Tell Zeke that Stone and Killer definitely want in.”
“Sure, man,” the kid said. He stared at Nadine. “That one of ours?”
“No, that’s Nadine,” I said, lamely. He seemed to accept it, though.
“Just have to check.” He leaned in like he was confiding in me.
“Really, unless you’re taking Zeke’s two girls or Skeeter’s girl, no one cares if a few of the dancers go missing.
They’ll all end up in Houston sooner or later, anyway.
We’re always getting new girls, so it don’t matter none to me.
Long as I get my cock sucked when I want it, I’m all good. ”
Well, he was a disgusting specimen of human garbage. I smiled, though, and forced a chuckle. “Gotcha.”
With that, he waved us on. Once we’d been on the road for a while, I was about to tell Jess she could get off the floor when we passed one of the creepiest looking guys I’d ever seen.
He was on a motorcycle. I think he was a really tanned white guy, but I wasn’t sure.
He had so many tattoos it was difficult to tell.
His head had been shaved, and he had the Gray Bones MC logo tattooed on his scalp.
He was cut as hell and huge. And I caught a flash of his eyes as he glanced over our vehicle, his eyes widening as he saw Nadine. Then he frowned and shook his head. This all happened in the fraction of an instant, but I’d caught a couple of things.
That had to be Skeeter, and he was scary as fuck despite having the name of an old, rich lady’s teacup Chihuahua. He’d thought Nadine was Jess for a minute. And his eyes were soulless. Pure evil.
I’d seen a lot of bad men in my life. The very worst of them had eyes that looked dead, like there was nothing human left inside them to reason with. That’s exactly what this guy looked like.
“Hey, Jess?” I asked.
“Yeah?” she called from the floor.
“I assume Zeke’s women are Camila and Lovey, right?”
“You got it.”
I asked the next question with trepidation. “Who, um, is Skeeter’s woman?”
She was quiet for a moment. “Well, that would be me.”
Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.
We’d just stolen the crazy, huge, evil man’s longtime girlfriend.
