“Sorry, oh great master,” I say sarcastically.
His hand slightly tightens on my arm and he growls out, “Don’t test me, Jenna.”
I yank my arm out of his grip and fold my arms across my chest. “What do you want?” I say sounding bored, even though my heart feels like it’s pounding out of my chest.
“Heard Kidd finally laid claim to you. I gotta say, it’s about fuckin’ time. Now, you need to smarten up a bit.”
“What the hell does that mean?”
“Leave the past in the past, Jenna girl.”
I shake my head. “He can claim me all he wants. That doesn’t mean I’m going to let him run my life. I do what I want, when I want.”
He shakes his head at me. “If you think he’s gonna put up with your shit, you’d be mistaken.”
“Oh fuck off, Daddy. If he doesn’t want to put up with my shit, he can go choose another whore to claim. It’s not like there’s a shortage of bitches that wouldn’t give their left arm to wear his brand.”
He leans closes and whispers, “You better not forget who you’re talking to. I won’t hesitate to lay your ass out.”
I roll my eyes at his words. If there is one thing I know for sure, it’s that Chipper would never raise a hand to me. “I’ve told you over and over again that I never wanted to be an Old Lady, but you never listened. Something tells me you put him up to this shit, so now you have to talk some sense into him. You need to make him see that I’m not the woman he wants.”
He shakes his head. “Not gonna happen. Kidd claimed you, and now you’re his. You need to get used to the idea, and you need to get used to it quick. Just to put your mind to rest, you’ve always been the only woman he ever wanted.”
I scoff at his words and blow out a frustrated breath, then look into his eyes. “Yeah? That’s funny. I thought he wanted Sarah. The real woman that could make his dick hard.”
“Jenna, enough!” He shouts then runs a hand through his hair. “I helped you out. Shit, me and Mindy did everything we could to give you a real home. You know I love you more than anything, and she did too. How do you think Mindy would feel about the way you’ve turned out?” he says, shouting at me.
How dare he say that! No one, and I mean no one, throws Mindy in my face. Before I can fully think my shit through, my fist is raised, and I clock him right in the jaw and split his lip. “Fuck you! Never bring her up to me again. I loved her more than life itself!” I scream into his face, then get into my car and speed away.
Only one thought crosses my mind as I head down the road; I wonder what my punishment is going to be when I get home.
CHAPTER Sixteen
Kidd
I take a swig of my whiskey and stare at the financial reports littering my desk. Something’s not lining up. There’s money missing, but I can’t figure out where it went. It’s only a few thousand, not enough to make me think someone is skimming, but it’s enough to make me take notice, enough to make me realize that I am not a fucking accountant. I’m a biker, damn it. I try to run the numbers again, but finally toss the papers onto my desk. I need to hire someone to do this shit. If not, I’m going to go crazy.
I’m about to head out when my office door crashes open. I look up to see Chipper walking in, sporting a split lip. He also has a small bruise on his jaw. No doubt he’s been fighting again. Not that him fighting is unusual, but him getting marked is. Usually, my brothers’ are the one leaving with the bruises. My eyes narrow as I take it in.
“Who the fuck did that to you?”
“Jenna,” he grumbles as he walks towards my desk and grabs my bottle of Jack.
I chuckle as I ask, “What’d you say to piss her off this time?”
“I brought up Mindy. Asked her how Mindy would feel about the way she’s been living her life.” He sits on the couch and sighs. “Dick move. I shouldn’t have done that shit.”
I flinch as soon as his words sink in. Jenna loved Mindy in a way that was so pure, so true, that even someone that didn’t know them would be able to see the way she felt about the woman. Even though Jenna only knew her for a little over a year, she still considered Mindy her mom. Some people might have thought it was strange, but I thought it was fuckin’ beautiful.
Chipper throwing her up in Jenna’s face the way he did would tear her to pieces. Most women would cry over it, but not Jenna, at least not the Ice Queen that Jenna’s became. When she gets hurt, she fights back. She’ll fight twice as hard when it comes to Mindy. Anytime someone in the club brought her up, she would turn almost homicidal. Hell, she even shot one of the brothers, Brakes, in the leg, about a year after Mindy’s death.
