“Smooth. Can’t go wrong riding in the wind.”
He grunts. “Won’t catch you saying that shit in the middle of summer.”
I chuckle. He’s right, the south in summer is fucking miserably hot, but I’m finally getting used to it.
“You’ve been hitting up RBMC a lot lately,” he eventually mentions, but I catch the underlying question in his words.
Releasing a breath, I meet his curious gaze and admit, “I have motive, there’s a woman.”
“There always is.” He smirks. “You gonna bring her around?”
I grin. “You’re not lying... seems the only thing that can trip a brother up is a female. This one... well, she’s different. I may bring her around when the time’s right if I feel like whatever it is catching my attention will go somewhere.”
“Preaching to the choir man. I know all about different and never having enough of her.” He’s loved Princess fiercely for years. From the moment he met her, she’s been his never-ending obsession. “Speaking of new women, got one around here too.”
“I missed her on my way in.”
He shrugs. “The only one I ever look for is my ol’ lady. The rest are bodies for the brothers to enjoy.” He looks, that much I’m certain of, but you won’t catch him giving one the time of day. He’s cool with Cherry, but she’s no longer a club whore. She and Odin are the real deal. “We’ll have church soon since you’re back.”
“Zeus still around, or did you guys scare him off already?”
He chuckles. “No scaring away that bastard. He’s around here somewhere. Probably talking shit to a prospect.”
“All right then, I’m going to see who’s here and what’s up.” He nods, and I head back for the bar now that Viking knows I’m home if he needs me.
I catch Blaze and Frost talking and stride toward them first. “Chaos, welcome back, brother,” Blaze calls.
I bump his fist first, then Frost’s, and take a seat. “What’s up? Did I miss anything?”
“Want something to drink?” Frost asks.
“The usual, man,” I reply, and he moves for the small, chilled mason jar and the apple pie moonshine. It’s my favorite, has been since I sampled it years ago. “Appreciate it.”
“Fresh meat,” Blaze gestures, wearing a grin.
“What do you care, you’ve got Teach warming your bed. I brought back some chocolate and vanilla moonshine, by the way.”
“Trust me, she knows how to get me all twisted up, then angry fuck me. Or make-up sex, geez, the make-up sex is unreal. Best fuckin’ thing to happen to me, but I can still appreciate a woman with a nice ass and a perky pair of tits around here.”
Frost leans in. “New flavors? That should make for an interesting night.”
“You’re a dog, Blaze.” I shake my head, refraining from rolling my eyes.
He shrugs without a care. “Always have been.”
I watch as the woman confidently strides toward me. She’s pretty, I’ll give her that much. Her fingers trail over my arm, spreading goosebumps as she pauses at my side. “Hey, I was told you’re the sweetest guy around here. Want to be the first to fuck me? I plan on sticking around if you’ll have me.”
“Mmm, so you need all the willing brothers to fuck you and offer up a vote to keep you around?”
She nods, her gaze heated as it takes me in. “It’s a requirement I’ll enjoy.”
“What about the twins?” I gesture to the young brothers on the other side of the room. They’re Torch’s cousins, a pair we weren’t sure would be able to hack it and stick around for long. “They’re eager to have you.”
I can read the disappointment in her gaze but don’t comment on it. I don’t like to let anyone down, but I’ve learned to swallow the feeling over time. I’m good to the women around here and in general, so I’m surprised they told her to come to me first.
Blaze’s smirk turns twisted, then he teases, “Sorry, babe. The old guy probably couldn’t get it up anyhow.”
Her hand moves to stroke my cock over my jeans, determination overcoming her with his proclamation. Clearly, she believes she’s up for the task. Fortunately, for my sake, it’s not the issue at hand. I laugh, but I can’t help it. If I hadn’t already set my sights on Hollywood, I’d probably indulge Blaze’s bullshit comment and use it to my advantage to fuck the new chick silly.
“He’s full of shit, as you can tell.” My cock’s hardening with her touch, even though I’m not wanting to fuck her. I’m human, and her touch feels good. Hollywood isn’t mine, and we’re nothing solid yet, so I don’t feel guilty. No, not at all, but I’m just not interested in anyone but Hollywood at the moment. A casual fuck isn’t something I’m seeking right now.
“No issues here, I’m just not interested in fucking right now. I appreciate you coming to me first, and for that alone, I’ll give you my vote.” I wink, and her face lights up with a bright smile.
“You’re sure? I really don’t mind, you’re so sexy. I like the streaks of gray in your hair and beard. It’s distinguishing. I bet you know what you’re doing, had plenty of practice.”
Blaze and I both chuckle. “Nah, go see the twins. They’ve been eyeing you since you walked in. You won’t regret it.”
She nods, then glances at Blaze. “And you? Are you interested in having some fun?”
His hands go up, palms out. “You’re hot as fuck, sugar, but I’m happy with my ol’ lady, Teach. You’ll meet her soon enough if you stick around. She’s the classy, uppity-looking bitch, but don’t let it deter you from talking to her. It’s a defense mechanism. Give her a chance, and she’s a sweet woman. She’s also the smartest bitch I’ve ever met. I’m a lucky S.O.B.”
“Okay then. I’ll be nice to her, I promise. I’m not a mean person.”
I offer her arm a tender squeeze. “Then you’ll fit in perfectly around here, babe.”
She smiles once more, then strides in the twins’ direction. Those fuckers were salivating the moment she stepped over the threshold. They certainly won’t be turning her away any time soon and will be more than eager to be the first to dip into her pussy.
“Not interested, huh? Don’t tell me you’re hung up on Cherry after all this time.”
“What?” My brow scrunches as I frown. His comment feels like it hit me from left field, it was the last thing I was expecting him to say. “Of course not. She’s a best friend to me and one of the only female friends I’ve ever had. In fact, everyone around here knows as much. She and Odin belong together.”
He nods. “Yeah, I see it too. If it’s not her, then why are you pushing away a fresh cunt?”
“Because, brother, I’ve had my share of random pussy. I want something more.”
His expression sobers. “I get it. Never thought there’d be the day for me, but Teach is a game-changer.” He claps a hand on my shoulder. “It’ll happen for you, man. If I can find a good woman, then you damn sure will too.”
