“The biker? You can do so much better than that.”
“I own a bike. I like bikes, and I like men who ride bikes. Don’t start to think you know me.”
This guy reminded her a little of her father, which was just eww. She wouldn’t screw anyone like her father. Men like him always looked down their noses at other people.
“You ride a bike?” he asked.
“Yeah, I ride a bike, and I fuck men who are unsuitable. You’re not even in the same league as me, Milford. Back off, as otherwise Snake’s going to have an issue.”
“I already have an issue,” Snake said. He appeared behind Milford, grabbing the doctor around the neck, and pressing him against the wall. Jessica threw her full coffee into the trash rushing to Snake.
“Nothing was happening, Snake. He’s not worth getting into trouble over.” She tugged on his arm, trying to make him let go. Nothing was happening. He wouldn’t budge. “Snake, please, let him go.”
“No, I’m not going to get into trouble,” Snake said. He shoved Milford into the wall one final time.
“You will. I’m telling the cops. This is assault.”
“Wrong answer.” Snake gripped him tightly around the neck again, practically throwing him about like a rag doll. “Let’s get one thing straight, you piece of shit. You tell on me or you look at Jessica again, I’ll come after you. There are enough women in this hospital who’d be happy to get rid of your ass. You’re fucking scum, using your place to lure women into bed. I hear you doing it again I’ll take this further.”
“You can’t kill me.”
“No? Actually, I can, but you’re right. It would be much more rewarding watching you squirm on the stand. Your career and reputation in tatters.” Snake slammed his fist into Milford’s gut. “Let’s go, Jess.”
She didn’t argue, taking his hand.
With her changing her hours, she’d texted him to let him know she’d be finished by one o’clock as today was her day off.
Several of the nurses were happy with her reducing her hours as it meant they could book the overtime in. If she’d known she was stopping women and men from earning more money, she’d have stopped ages ago.
She didn’t need the money as she came from wealth. Her father, no matter how much he was pissed off with her over moving to Piston County, wouldn’t disinherit her. Her mother was proud, and Jessica learned long ago to make sure her mother was happy, and her father wouldn’t say anything against her.
“You didn’t have to do that,” Jessica said, following him out to the parking lot.
“He was only going to get worse. Men like Milford don’t understand the word no. I fucking hate men like that.” Snake helped her into the passenger side of the car.
“Judi and Ripper are going home today.”
“They’re going to be at the club. We’re all having a celebration.”
“What are you celebrating?” Jessica asked.
“Right now we’re celebrating the fact Judi is alive and well. When the little monster comes home, we’ll celebrate him.” She watched as another car pulled into the parking lot. “Devil’s here now. Give me a moment.”
He closed the door walking toward the other member. Devil wore a leather jacket showing the club he ruled. She’d seen him up close, and on the front there was a tag with the name “PRESIDENT”. It was all in capital letters making no mistake who he was.
The woman, Lexie, climbed out of the car. She was swollen pregnant, but the stress of Judi hadn’t caused any problems for her. It wasn’t her first child but her fourth.
Snake and Devil shook hands before he started making his way back to the car.
“What was that all about?”
“I was telling him about Milford. He’s going to look into the fucker.”
“He’s just a sleazy doctor, Snake. I think you’re worrying about him a little unnecessarily.”
“It’s either look into him to keep him away or I’m going to do something I regret.”
“I can’t believe you can talk about killing him so easily.”
He gripped the back of her neck, slamming his lips down on hers.
“I can talk about it easily, because it’s the truth. I don’t like the thought of anyone having their hands on you.” He stroked her neck then pulled away.
“So, this party tonight?”
“You’re coming.”
“Wait, what?” She wanted to stay in with a good book or at least a good movie.
“Devil wants to meet the girl that scared Amy.”
She frowned, turning to look at him. “No one saw that but us.”
