“No, she doesn’t. Besides, I’m older than her.”
“Chronologically, not mentally.”
Rider looked at him suspiciously. “What in the fuck does that mean?”
Lucky rolled his eyes. “I rest my case.” He laid his hand of cards on the table, leaning back to gloat a little himself as he raked in his winnings then looked at his cell phone again.
“Want me to text her?” Rider offered, taking out his cell.#p#分页标题#e#
“If she won’t text me, why would she text you?”
Rider ignored him, texting Willa.
A sudden thought came to Lucky’s mind.
“Why do you have Willa’s number?”
Rider didn’t look up from texting. “I text her a couple of times a day.”
“What in the fuck do you text Willa for during the day?”
“I don’t always text her. Sometimes, she texts me.”
Lucky decided he was going to have a long talk with his wife when she arrived home.
“She text anyone else here?” Lucky gazed around the table at the brothers who refused to look at him. He barely looked at the cards that Viper dealt him. Turning in his seat, he looked at Train sitting at the bar, playing with Jewel’s nipple.
“Does Willa text you?”
“She has a couple of times.”
Lucky turned back around, staring down at his cards and frowning. Not paying attention, he bet too much on the hand. Showing his cards, he drank the rest of his beer as Rider smirked, gathering his winnings.
“Relax, brother, we’re just fucking with you. Guess I’m not as stupid as you thought.” He waved the cash he had just won under his nose.
The sound of the front door opening was the only thing that saved Rider from the ass-whipping he was about to get.
Shade walked in with Lily, Winter came in slightly weaving, Beth wasn’t in much better shape, and Diamond and Rachel each seemed sober yet had a glazed look to their eyes. Willa was the last to come in. She had left looking sleek and elegant, but coming back, she looked like a holy mess. Her hair was messed up, one side higher than the other. The handkerchief that had been placed between her breasts was missing, leaving her cleavage on display, and her beauties were barely held in place by the red bra that was showing.
The other wives went to their husbands, while Willa totally ignored him.
Winter tugged Viper’s arm. “I’m tired. Let’s go to bed.”
“You drink some beer?” Viper teased.
“Yeah, that’s it. Let’s go,” she hissed, nodding her head toward the stairs.
“O … kay.” Viper went toward the steps with his wife who couldn’t leave the room fast enough.
“Let’s go, Shade. Stori’s waiting for us, and I need to feed John.” Lily tried to tug her husband along.
“You go along. I want to drink a beer. You don’t need me to feed John.”
Lily threw her husband a wild look before fleeing the room.
Lucky was beginning to have a suspicion that something wasn’t right when Willa, instead of greeting him, went to Moon who was sitting on a chair with Ember sitting on the arm, rubbing her hand under his T-shirt.
Willa leaned over the chair, placing a hand on each arm. Moon’s eyes lowered, his mouth dropping open.
“Knox, I’m ready to leave,” Diamond tried to coax her husband up from the card table.
He tugged her down onto his lap. “I’m not.”
“Cash…” Rachel began.
Cash threw his arm over her shoulder. “Vixen, I’ve lost two hundred dollars tonight, and I’m not leaving until I get my money’s worth.”
Lucky stood up, wanting to hear what his wife was saying to Moon.
“Did you or did you not make a bet with my husband?”
“He wasn’t your husband when we made the bet,” Moon replied, unable to raise his eyes to meet hers.
“I see.” Willa turned to face Lucky with her hands on her hips.

“Siren … If you have something you want to know, ask me.”
“Don’t ‘siren’ me.” He heard the barest trace of a tremble in her voice. “You were going to share me with Moon, and he wasn’t the only one you were going to share me with.”
Not one tear glistened in his wife’s eyes. The only thing he could see there was hurt.
“Willa, let me explain.”
“Is that new bike you’ve been riding the one you won in the bet?”
“Yes, but—”
“Did you tell Jenna you liked her frosting better than mine?”
Lucky’s face paled when he saw her hand unconsciously go to her breast. He knew she had been told he had done the same thing to Jenna that he had done to her.
