“I’m fine. Didn’t you promise me a movie and cuddling?” I ask quietly—not wanting the others to hear. I’m not sure he wants his buddies to hear he promised a G to PG rated night.
“That I did, baby. That I did,” he purrs, bending down to kiss me with so much hunger that it robs me of breath. I can hear all the men yelling and encouraging Griffin as he picks me up—never breaking our kiss. I ignore them as Griffin carries me down the hall. I don’t know what tomorrow will bring, but for tonight, I’m going to experience how it feels to be in a man’s arms and know he’s not ashamed of me—or worried I’ll bring him bad luck.
I’ll worry about everything else tomorrow.
14 GRIFTER
“Wow,” Georgia practically hums when I break our kiss. I grin because it reminds me of the first time that I kissed her. Her response then was similar. I truly don’ t think I will ever have enough of this woman.
“Thank you for giving me a second chance, Georgie,” I murmur. I see the surprise light in her eyes, but it’s her smile that draws me in. Right before I can kiss her again, Scorpion opens the door to his room, zipping up his pants. One of the club whore’s follows behind him. “Are we all partying?” she asks as she slips under Scorpion’s arm which is propped on his door frame. She’s completely naked and I’m distracted by the way my woman stiffens in my arms. Motherfucker, this isn’t how I wanted to introduce her to the club.
“New rule for the club,” I growl at Scorpion. “Club whores wear clothes when they’re around old ladies,” I growl.
Scorpion steps forward, hands in his pockets, smirking. “You’ll have to bring that up for vote, I suppose. Daisy, go get dressed. We’re done. You can see if one of the other guys wants a bed warmer,” he says, keeping his eyes focused on me and Georgia.
“She’s yours?” Daisy says, looking at me.
“She is. You were told to go get some clothes on. Do it,” I order. I can already tell what Daisy’s game is by the way she’s looking me up and down.
She puts her hand on my shoulder, completely ignoring the woman in my arms. “You don’t have to slum it with a cursed prude who lives in town Prez. I know exactly how to keep you happy. Ask Scorpion. I can take you to heaven,” she says. I know she’s trying to talk sexy, but for me, at least, she’s failing miserably.
Georgia knocks Daisy’s hand away and growls at me. Let me down,” she orders me, showing me that fire inside her again.
“Fuck no. You and I have plans.”
“If this is the life you lead and you have her in your bed, I don’t need to be here,” Georgia grumbles, already moving around, trying to get down. I tighten my hold on her, not letting her escape.
“Scorpion, do you know if this club has rules in place for how club candy is allowed to treat the old ladies?”
“Not sure, Prez, but every club I’ve been a part of know that old ladies are treated with respect.”
“Does it seem respectful to you, Daisy that you are propositioning me knowing I have a woman, and that woman is in my arms while you stand there completely fucking naked and calling her bullshit names?”
“I didn’t know—”
“You obviously don’t know shit. Georgia is my woman—my old lady. I can’t speak for my men, but my dick belongs to her and her alone. Now back the fuck up, do not touch me again and if you ever say that shit or anything about my woman again, you are out of this damn club. Do you understand?”
Daisy stands back immediately. She nods her head yes, but immediately fucks up by speaking. “The club will never accept her. The whole town knows she’s a witch and curses everything she touches.”
“Scorpion?”
“Yeah, Prez?”
“Make sure Daisy’s shit is packed up and she’s out of here before I get out of bed in the morning.”
“You can’t do that!” she screeches. “The men won’t let you!”
“I can and I have. Go pack your shit, Daisy,” I growl.
“This isn’t over,” she stomps off and I roll my eyes. “Christ, this club is fucking chaos. It’s been running unchecked for way too long. Do as I ordered, Scorpion. Then, tell the men to meet me for church in thirty minutes—everyone is to be there. Mandatory.”
“You got it,” Scorpion says, giving me a shit-eating grin. “Glad to meet you, Georgia. If Griff lets you out of his bed long enough to have breakfast in the morning, we’ll talk then.”
“Thanks, uh … Scorpion,” Georgia answers blushing prettily.
“Damn,” Scorpion says, shaking his head as he opens my door for me. I already know he sees in Georgie what I do. Too bad for him, I’ve already laid claim and I’m not letting her go.
