“You’re not getting it from me. Never. Not in this situation.”

At that, Cash stood and stormed off, heading to the exit and outside without looking back.

“Stretch…”

“Save it, Fee. Just hope Cash can straighten this out. Now, it’s best if you leave. Rain is coming in, so Outlaw will be back soon.”

Stretch’s cool distance alarmed her more than Cash’s anger. For all Stretch’s jealousy toward her, he’d never sounded so perturbed. Aware she’d messed up really bad, Fee took his advice and left without another word.





Pain streaking through his body, Cash knocked on the door of Daphne’s apartment, unable to believe any of these bitches. Well, not Daphne or Fee. Kendall? He put nothing past her.

After almost getting herself, Outlaw, and Val fucked up, and Johnnie and Brooks Redding shot, she was at it again.

“Daphne, open the goddamn door.” Her car was parked in her spot, so Cash knew she was home. “Now!”

As he expected, his command got a response. The door swung open, revealing a nude Daphne, face flushed and mouth swollen. Love bites reddened her breasts and neck. Just beyond, inside her apartment, Cash saw one of his club brothers sitting on her couch, cock out.

“What are you doing here?”

Cash shouldered past her. “Get out,” he ordered the dude, one of the younger members who was friends with Diesel.

“Sure, Cash,” he drawled. “Call me later,” he told Daphne once his dick was secure and he stood at the door.

“I will,” she promised, turning to Cash as soon as they were alone. “I didn’t know you were coming. I wouldn’t have kept my appointment with him.”

“I’m not here to fuck you. I’m here to ask you if you’ve lost your fucking mind. Teaming with Kendall Donovan,” he added before she could deny anything. His injuries had him in pain and in a bad mood. The way he’d lost it with Fee didn’t help matters.

But, fuck. He’d been enjoying the food Meggie cooked, texting Josh and Georgie. No one thought anything of him and Stretch sitting at Outlaw’s table together. They were a part of his crew, so it didn’t look out of the ordinary. After the way Stretch had hovered around him today, once he’d helped him out of Outlaw’s office, Cash was just enjoying Stretch’s company. No bullshit. Nothing.

Then, Fee dropped her fucking bombshell.

“Did you hear me?”

Hands on hips, unconcerned with her nudity, Daphne waited for his answer.

“No. What did you say?”

“I said what she’s doing is no worse than what you did, so back off. At least, she’ll keep to her word and pay me everything she promised.”

“I fucking paid you.” And got his ass beat.

“Money, not cock, which you promised me.”

“You get cock from every motherfucker around. You don’t need mine.”

She stomped to the sofa. “Why are you here? If it’s to tell me not to do it, you can’t.”

Cash followed behind her, determined to ignore his massive pain. This girl had to know she was risking her life by following Kendall’s lead and fucking with Meggie. He hadn’t directly fucked with Outlaw’s wife and had just missed getting beaten to death. “The fuck I can’t. I’m in charge of you and the other girls. I can get rid of you. Bar you from coming to the club.”

“You’re nothing but a hypocrite,” she accused. “You’d use me to play with Outlaw, but won’t let Kendall do it?”

“What I did was different.”

“Explain to me how? You brought me there to suck him.”

“Him,” he barked. “I’m not stupid enough to directly fuck with his wife.”

“You were still fucking with her. You said it yourself. And you knew his kid would be there. CJ tells his mom everything. The kid has a big mouth. You knew what you were doing, Cash. If CJ was there, Meggie would find out.”

Scrubbing a hand over his face, Cash wondered if she was right. Had he wanted Meggie to find out? That would make him a terrible asshole. A coward too, seeking a fucked up way to cover up his own shit.

Shame hit him. Every awful word, each of his fucked up actions, toward Stretch and Fee came to him, further proving he carried many of his father’s genes and wouldn’t be good at being with two decent, loving people.

“Cash, Kendall is giving me twenty-five grand. I need that money. If I can’t have her life or Meggie’s life, at least allow me to make this money.”

“Daphne, babe, listen to me. Do you even know why Kendall is doing this?”

“Yes. Not that I care. I mean, c’mon, Cash. Those two bitches will be arguing for the rest of our lives. As Kendall said, Meggie is trying to protect Outlaw by keeping my behavior from him.”
