“Another round of shots would be good. Just put it on the club’s tab.”
“Sure thing.”
She gave me a wink, then turned and sauntered over to the bar. Rafe nudged with his elbow and snickered. “Looks like our boy is gonna get laid tonight.”
“Maybe so, but not by the likes of her.”
“Why the hell not?” He huffed. “That chick is smoking hot.”
“Not interested.”
“What the fuck is wrong with you, brother? I’d let her ride my dick any time.”
“Some chick has her hooks in our boy,” Axel poked.
“Seriously?” Rafe looked over to me like I had three heads. “How the fuck did that happen?”
Before I had a chance to respond, Misty strolled back over and placed our shots on the table, then glanced at me with another smile. “Here you go, boys. Can I get you anything else?”
“That should do it.”
“You sure?” She leaned closer, her tits just inches from my face as she whispered, “One of the rooms in the back just opened up. I’d be happy to give you a private lap-dance or anything else you might want.”
A few weeks ago, I wouldn’t have thought twice about taking her up on that offer. Hell, I’d have given her the pounding of a lifetime, but at the moment, I couldn’t have been less interested—maybe it was the fact that I just wanted to enjoy some time with my brothers or maybe it was Delilah. Whatever the reason, I reached over and patted Rafe on the shoulder. “I’m good, but my brother is up for a go.”
“Oh, really?” She turned her flirtatious smile towards him. “I’d be down for that.”
Rafe grabbed a shot from the table, and once he tossed it back, he stood up and said, “I’m ready when you are.”
He followed Misty towards the back, and when they disappeared into one of the rooms, I took another shot. As I lowered the empty glass to the table, Axel leaned over to me and asked, “So, what’s up with you and Danny’s sister? Y’all a thing now or what?”
“Working on it.”
“Really.” He studied me for a moment, then leaned back in his chair with a knowing smirk. “I gotta say, I didn’t see that one coming.”
“You’re not the only one.”
“You think she’ll be able to get past everything that went down with Danny?”
“It might take some time, but yeah, she’ll get past it.”
“Hope you’re right.” He motioned over to one of the waitresses and ordered a round of beers. “Otherwise, this thing between you two ended before it even got started.”
His words packed a hell of punch, but I knew he was right. The club was my life, and if Delilah continued to hold on to her grudge, no matter how valid, things with us would never work. I could tell her a million times over that my brothers were good guys, but it wouldn’t change a damn thing. She needed to see it for herself. There was just one catch—Danny. He wasn’t a quick healer like Rafe. He was still on the mend, and Viper still hadn’t made the call on what we were going to do with him. As long as he remained at the club, especially with a fucking gunshot wound, there was no way I could bring her to the clubhouse, so I’d have to figure out another way for her to spend some time with the guys. That thought had me turning to Axel and Menace. “Hey, what do you two got going on tomorrow?”
“Nothing much that I can think of. Why?”
“I got something I need you to do.”
I explained the plan to them, and just as I’d expected, they both were more than willing to help me out. After one last drink, I said my goodbyes and headed out. A half hour later, I was sitting outside Delilah’s apartment. I hadn’t intended on stopping by, but I found myself there just the same. I glanced up at her place and all the lights were out. I wasn’t surprised. It was almost midnight, and she had work early the next morning. As much as I wanted to crawl into bed next to her, I decided against it, thinking she could use the rest. I was just about to leave when a black truck caught my attention across the street. If it hadn’t been for the faint glow of a burning cigarette, I would’ve never noticed the guy sitting inside. It was too dark to see his face, but there was something about him that gave me an uneasy feeling. I got off my bike and started walking over to him, but as I got closer, he eased out of the parking space and skirted off down the street. Thinking Menace might be able to check him out, I tried to get a look at the guy’s license plate, but it was too dark to make it out.
