“What about tonight?”
He shakes his head. “Nope, you go home. Let me talk to Roxy and let her know she’s done. After that, I’ll tell the girls you’re in charge.”
I nod and turn away. Before I reach the door, I hear him shout. “Night, baby girl.”

I stalk over to the bar where I see Chipper. He looks about as happy as I do. “She’s really doing this shit?” I ask him.
Chipper grunts. “Yeah, she’s been at The Kitty Kat for a few months now. I was hoping she’d stick to just stripping, but I guess that ain’t going to happen.”
“She can make good money dancing. She doesn’t need to come here.”
“I know, brother. Told her that myself. I’ve done everything I could to talk her outta this shit, but she won’t budge.” He looks at me, eyes narrowed. “For some reason, she has it in her head that being a whore is all she’s good for. Wonder where she got that idea?”
Hearing Chipper say that makes me madder than hell. Knowing that he blames me pisses me way the fuck off. She’s not a fuckin’ whore, and I never said she was. I may have said shit to make her think that, but I sure in the hell didn’t feel like she was anything other than the woman I wanted as my own. I wanted her more than anything in this world. I know I fucked up with Jenna, but I have no damn idea how to fix it. After the night I was an idiot, she hasn’t given me the time of day. She won’t let me apologize or explain where my head was at. Nothing.
“I’m gonna have her take over the girls,” I say after asking the prospect behind the bar for some whiskey.
“Roxy’s gonna shit a brick.” Chipper says and then grins. “Can’t stand that bitch anyway. Not sure what the hell Reese was thinking, tying himself to her.”
“Don’t know, and at this point, don’t care. I just don’t want her to turn The Kitty Kat into a free for all,” I explain. “This way, Jenna can do what she wants, pick her own picks, and not just get taken like all the rest of the whores.”
He nods. “At least it’s something.”
I toss the whiskey down my throat and look back to Chipper. “Wanna come with me to find Roxy. I might need someone to restrain her,” I say chuckling.
“Yeah, I’m down. Grab Reese too. He’ll want to hear this shit from us. God knows how Roxy would spin it.”
We get up and walk over to where Roxy and Reese are playing pool. Well, Reese is playing pool. Roxy is spending her time trying to get some of the brothers’ attention, but most of them have already learned her game and are staying clear. How Reese stands to be around her, I don’t know. By the look on his face, he’s not a happy man. If I was in his shoes, I’d put a bullet in the bitch’s head. I’d raise my daughter on my own. Pebbles would be a hell of a lot better off if he did.
“You two,” I say, pointing towards then. “Office. We gotta have a chat.”
Roxy stiffens as soon as she hears my tone. The bitch knows her game is over, and she’s scared. They both follow us quickly into my office.
“Take a seat.”
“Uh, did we do something wrong?” Roxy asks hesitantly.
“Nope, but what we gotta say won’t be pretty,” I say to her then look towards Reese.
He raises a brow. “What’s up?”
“Roxy here is gonna get bent outta shape, so we figured we’d do it with you around.” When I say that, Roxy instantly goes on alert, her eyes narrowing.
“I know I gave you control over the women, but that’s done now. I have someone to take over. I appreciate the work, but I need someone that’s capable to run that shit. I need someone I know I can trust. Sorry to say Roxy, but that’s not you.”
“I’ve been doing a good job,” She says with a sneer.
I hear Reese mumble under his breath for her to shut up, but I know she’s not gonna listen, so I lay it out for her. “You’re all kinds of fucked up, and half the girls you’ve brought into the club are as bad as you. Damn near every one of them is using, and you knew how I felt about drugs in the club. Also, Pop explained the importance of regular check-ups. I know that shit isn’t happening, because some of them bitches are a walking petri dish.”
Roxy jumps up from her chair. “Fuck you! I’ve done great things here. I’ve brought in more girls then you’ve ever had here!” she yells.
