language.”
“Everything does.”
I am about to agree, when I hear the sound of a door opening. I listen to it shut, marking Bowie’s departure, as she leads me into a vacant bedroom. Pain slashes through me again; he’s gone. The man my brother trusted to take care of me has discarded me like a piece of trash.
She squeezes my hand, doing her best to make me feel comfortable. “You’ll be all right; I promise.”
Still wearing my mask, I force a smile. “I always am.”
Not my Old Lady
Bowie
I walk into the clubhouse, just as dawn is breaking. I walk straight to the bar and tap its top. “Give me a shot of Jack and a beer.”
It only takes the prospect a minute to get my order. Walking away from the bar, I see an empty table at the back of the room and take a seat. I grab the shot and toss it back. A vision of the pain in Laura’s eyes is playing on a loop in my mind as I swallow the fiery liquid. I’m irritated as fuck, mad at myself for putting that look in her eyes. It was like she was breaking in two, but too damn proud to show it. I felt like shit for just dropping her off, but a woman like that doesn’t belong at the clubhouse. Nina’s is the safest place for her.
I lift my beer to my lips, as Tin-Man sits down next to me. “ Hermano, glad to see you’re back.”
“Glad to be back, brother.”
“Took her to Mamá ’safterall?” He asks, with a smirk.
I nod my head, but don’t bother replying. No need to tell him that the girl I thought I wanted in my bed turned out to be an uptight bitch. Shit, that’s not true. She may be about as uptight as a person can be, but there wasn’t a bitchy bone in her body. I swear looking at her, reminded me of a broken glass. It was like she was begging me to put her back together. That shit ain’t happening. I don’t do commitment, and a woman like her would want it all. Even if I did want an Old Lady, she isn’t what I want on the back of my bike.
“Not what you were expecting, huh?”
“Nah, man. She’s nothing like I thought she’d be. Doesn’t matter though, Nina will take care of her.”
“If Mamá ’s not around to do it, Priss will.”
I smile thinking about how our sister will react to Laura. Shit, Shay. I have to start thinking of her as Shay. “Priss will have a hell of a time with Shay.”
His eyes narrow, when I say her new name. He doesn’t ask any questions though. “If anyone can fix a broken soul it’s our hermanita and Mamá . A woman running away like that, her soul is probably shattered.”
I nod in agreement. Shay will be fine at Nina’s. She has to be, because I can’t help her. I’ll protect her, but that is all. “She’ll find her way.”
He’s about to reply, when the sound of heels clicking against the concrete floor draws my attention. I turn my head, just in time to see Domino walking my way. As soon as I lay eyes on her tits, barely hidden behind her shirt, my dick goes to half-mast. A slow smile spreads across my face, as I lift my chin to her. “Domino.”
“Bowie,” She purrs as she slides into my lap, barely fitting between me and the table. She grinds her ass against my dick, turning it to stone. “I missed you.”
I’m just about to lay my hand on her lap, but her words cause me to pause. She’s been getting needy lately. Texting and calling while I’m on the road. Even worse, she somehow ends up in my bed nearly every damn night. If her pussy wasn’t so damn good, I would’ve kicked her ass to the curb a long damn time ago.
I place my hand on her hips and lift her from my lap. “You’ll have to miss me a while longer, cause I’m talking to my brother right now.”
She looks between the two of us, before a pout forms on her lips. “I guess I’ll have to wait.”
“Yeah, you will.” I say with a hard nod. “Now, go.”
She lets out a nervous laugh. “There’s no reason to be
