Snake's Addiction(23)
When they were finished Ripper’s room was more than ready for the baby.
“You all do this for each other?”
“When we were on the road, this wouldn’t have happened. It’s only because we’re all settling down that we’re getting shit like this done.” Snake didn’t have a problem with staying in the same place. Waking up on dirty mattresses beside a skank every morning had lost its appeal the moment he met Tiny and The Skulls. The club did show Chaos Bleeds another way of living. He wasn’t going to be angry with Tiny or what had happened to separate them. They were living a whole new life now in Piston County.
“You were on the road a lot?”
“I was on the road my whole life. It never really stopped.” Snake took a hand. “Come on. I want to show you to my room.”
She didn’t pull away.
The moment they touched it was like an electrical current ran through them bringing them both together.
He opened the door to his modest room.
“Wow, you’re actually clean,” she said, smiling.
Closing the door, he watched her look around his space. “I like clean open spaces.” His parents had been drunks, and the place had been covered with filth where mold grew on the walls as if it was indeed the wallpaper.
The walls here were painted cream while the floor had a green carpet. His brothers wouldn’t dare laugh at his space nor would the sluts that fucked the club.
“Snake, baby, would you like some company?” Amy asked, knocking on the door. He’d not been around the club whores in so long.
Jessica crossed her arms, staring at him. Her brow was raised, waiting for him.
She knocked again. Everyone knew not to just barge into his space. He didn’t like it.
“What’s it going to be, Jessica?”
****
“What are you asking me?” Jessica wanted to open the door and claw the woman’s eyes out. She didn’t even know what the other woman looked like, but already, she didn’t like her.
“Well, it has been five days and you were having lunch with Doctor Bastard. Do I call her in or am I already taken?”
“I got the clean bill of health. What did you get?”
He turned away, going to his drawer beside the bed. “I got a clean bill of health.”
“You can’t fuck me without a condom. I’m not protected yet.”
“But we can in a few weeks.” He gave her the sheet. “Amy knocking on the door is up to you.”
“I go and you’ll fuck her?”
“You go, we’re over. It’s the way I figured you’d play it. I’m not going to force you to be something you’re not into.”
“What do you mean by that?” she asked.
“I mean you’re a nurse. The club is my whole life. I’m not going to change who I am. I’m a biker. I like having sex, and if you want us to be exclusive, I’ll come to you every time. If you don’t want that, I’ll take you home.”
“You’re into exclusive sex? But Lydia—”
“Lydia doesn’t know everything about me. She was a hole, Jessica. A woman to be used to fuck. You’re not like her. Now, I’m either completely stupid and got the wrong vibe off you, or you’re playing hard to get.”
Jessica stared back at him. Exclusive?
“It’s your choice. It will always be your choice,” he said. “Can you hack this life?”
What she’d seen of the life hadn’t been horrible. In fact, it had been an amazing support structure that was similar to a family.
“Snake?” Amy asked. Her voice already grated on Jessica’s nerves.
Take a chance. What do you have to lose?
Her sanity. Her heart.
Snake wasn’t just a scumbag who fucked women. Yes, he’d fucked Lydia, but he’d never actually promised her anything. Jessica was starting to see a whole new side to Snake, one she hadn’t anticipated ever knowing.
Turning around, she opened the door staring at a beautiful blonde. She was slender with large tits. Jessica didn’t like her. The malice in the woman’s eyes was clear to see.
“You’re not welcome here.”
“I think that’s Snake’s decision.”
Snake moved up behind her, gripping the back of Jessica’s neck. “I’m doing whatever she says.”
“He’s mine now. You come here again offering your skank ass, I’ll take you down. You even think to try and take him, I’ll hurt you.”
“What’s a little nurse going to do to me?”
Jessica smiled. Before anyone got a chance to stop her, she shoved the other woman against the far wall, bringing her arm up against her throat. “You want to know what I can do to you? I can make sure you can’t breathe. I know how to kill you and to make it look like a fucking suicide. Don’t mess with me, bitch.”
