“Kip!” Breakneck growled.
“Nova, I promise, you are not the problem. You are more than welcome to stay inMYhouse! If anyone is going to leave, it will be Ash. She can go stay with her mom if it’s too much hassle for her to be a decent freaking wife and mother for a change.”
Ashlynn’s close-lipped scowl was the only response he got.
“And she won’t be commenting on who anyone else is dating, going to dinner with, or their school schedule that we knew about in advance. Isn’t that right?” Kip asked her.
At first, I didn’t think Ashlynn would answer him. “I told you that I don’t want club whores around my son!”
“So, just because Nova is going out to dinner with Breakneck, that makes her a club whore?” Kip asked.
She snidely tilted her head and thrust her hip out, though she didn’t offer a verbal response.
“What does that make you then?” He asked.
“Excuse me? We’re married!”
“We only got married because you got pregnant and told me you’d kill the baby, or hide it from me, if I didn’t agree to it. Before that, I remember you fucking one of my best friends and a club girl on a pool table in the middle of the clubhouse when you knew your best friend had a crush on him. Nova is only going to dinner with a man. There’s a world of difference between the two. Stop being a hypocrite, stop judging people for being associated with your husband’s club, and stop being a cunt to our nanny in general. She’s the one caring for our son every hour out of the day that she isn’t at school, unless I have him.”
“I can’t believe you just brought that up!” She whined to Kip.
“I can’t believe you keep insinuating our nanny is some kind of whore and going out of your way to make her feel uncomfortable. She’s never been anything but kind to us, and more importantly, to our son.”
Ashlynn glared at everyone in the room before flouncing out of the house. A few minutes later, headlights came on and then disappeared as she pulled out of the driveway. I don’t think it was lost on any of us that she left without her son again.
“I didn’t mean to cause any problems,” I apologized.
“You’re not doing that,” Breakneck placated as he wrapped an arm around my shoulder. “That was all on Ash, not you.”
“You didn’t do anything wrong, Nova. I hate that you’re stuck in the middle of my wife’s bullshit. I’m not sure what’s going on with her, but she’s just taking her own miserable crap out on everyone else lately. Please, don’t quit and leave because of her.”
I chuckled, though it was more a sound of anxiety bubbling out than mirth. “I can’t actually quit, so I’ll just have to deal with the abuse.”
“Fuck that!” Breakneck growled before he turned to Kip. “Do something about your wife, or Nova can take your room at the clubhouse, and watch your kid from there.”
Kip nodded and then moved to take his son from my arms. “You’ve had a hell of a night. Why don’t you go enjoy some good food, even if the company is shit,” he teased as he smirked at Breakneck.
“Company’s just fine, asshole,” Breakneck tossed back at him.
“Can you give me a minute to grab a different shirt?” I asked while pointing at the drool mark Knoxville left behind on my shoulder.
Breakneck tipped his chin up in acknowledgment, so I took off for the bedroom and grabbed my go-bag. After pulling a shirt out and changing, I tucked the other inside and then hefted the bag onto my shoulder before joining the two men in the living room again.
“You won’t need your bag,” Breakneck informed me.
My heart started hammering in my chest immediately. “I’d prefer to have it with me.”
“Jesus,” I thought I heard Kip mumble.
“Okay, let’s go,” Breakneck added. I didn’t miss the look that passed between the two men, but that didn’t mean I was able to decipher it beyond knowing that the men weren’t happy with me insisting I had my belongings along for the ride.

Breakneck
“I hope we’re not going anywhere fancy,” Nova lamented as she moved toward my truck.
“Do I look like the fancy type to you?”
