“What?” It takes a minute for me to grasp her meaning, but when Stacy snorts it all becomes clear. I can feel heat hit my cheeks and I shake my head. “I don’t know.”
Melissa grabs my hand and smiles. “It’s okay, you can tell us. I’ve known that boy for years, and I’ve always wondered if he’s as good as he looks.”
I notice Stacy straightening in her seat, staring at me intently. “He’s gotta be wild in bed.”
Wild, yeah that’s a good word to describe him, but he can also be sweet. Over the last few days, he’s given me both. Wild and crazy, in nearly every room of the house. Then sweet and gentle in our bed at night.
“He’s wonderful, but I’m not sure I know how to explain it.” Even if I could find the right words, I don’t really think I should be telling people about mine and Bowie’s sex life.
“Try.” Lila orders on a laugh.
I look around the room to the ladies that I will probably be spending a lot of time with and nod. Leaning forward, I start to give the juicy details when I hear boots stomping into the room. I look up just as Bowie steps into sight. He is staring at the other ladies. “She’s not telling you shit.”
I can feel my cheeks blush, when he looks to me. His face is hard, but I can see laughter dancing in his eyes. I shake my head and lie right to his face. “I wasn’t going to tell them anything.”
“They shouldn’t of fuckin’ asked.” Rusty says, walking past Bowie and drawing my attention. When he reaches Stacy, he grabs her by the arm and pulls her up. “I’m gonna have to punish you when we get home.”
By the way she plasters herself to the front of his body, she likes that idea. When she shoves her tongue down his throat, I know I’m right. I look away from them and back to Bowie, to see him still staring down at me. His hand reaches down, pulling me from my seat. He wraps his arms around my shoulder and starts talking to his friends that have now filled the room.
It takes a few minutes, but slowly everyone starts to file out the door. Lila grabs my hand just before her and Red leave. “I’ll stop by in a few days, and let you meet the girls.”
“I would love that.” Just the thought of having a real friend has me feeling warm inside.
She starts to say something else, but Red grabs her hand and pulls her out the door. I can hear her telling him that he’s rude as they walk away. He responds by slapping her on the ass.
I don’t try to stifle my laugh, when I look up to Bowie. “I like your friends.”
He doesn’t say anything, just smiles at me and pulls me to the kitchen where Tin and Rollo are sitting at the table. Bowie gives me a little squeeze and says, “Head on to bed, babe.”
I nod, realizing they want to talk alone. Before I can even take a step, he pulls be back to him. He leans down and whispers in my ear. “I want you naked when I get there.”
They’ve Got My Back
Bowie
I watch her walk away, waiting for her to disappear from my sight, before grabbing a beer from the fridge. I take my seat at the table and look at Tin. “What do you think?”
“I think everyone is on board but Topper,” Rollo answers for him.
“He put his money in, so he’s got our backs,” I reply, hoping my words are true.
Rollo shakes his head. “I don’t know, brother. He didn’t seem too sure.”
Tin voices his opinion. “Topper’s just old school and doesn’t like going against his president. If it comes down to it, he’ll be by our side when we go after Cash.”
That’s what I’m thinking too. Topper has been around as long as I can remember. He’s not an original or even a decedent like the three of us, but he is loyal to the Savage Outlaws. Right now, Cash is our leader and he doesn’t like going behind his back. Still, he knows that the shit going on right now isn’t right. He’ll do what he has to when the time comes.
“When do we start?” Rollo asks, leaning against the back of his chair.
“Soon as we get back from Alabama,” I hate, fuckin’ hate, leaving Shay, but I have no choice. This shit has to be fixed with the Sixes before we can move forward with our plans to remove Cash from his throne.
Even worse, Cash has the other boys running another shipment up north, while we’re in Alabama. So I have no one here that I trust to keep an eye on her. I thought about taking her to Nina’s, but that would only put them all at a greater risk. No doubt in my fuckin’ mind, Cash wouldn’t think twice about taking out Nina or Priss if they got in his way.
“Are you sure this shit is gonna work? We could get down there and those dicks could turn on us,” Rollo asks, voicing his concern.
