Apple struts up next and shimmies her pants down to expose her lower back. Malice’s face turns beet red.

“Woman! Pull your pants up right now.”

Apple shakes her head and lays down on her stomach. “No. I want it on the small of my back. Baby blue please.”

Of course, Mark makes it worse when he breaks out in song. “I see London, I see France, I see Apple’s underp?—”

Malice’s fist slams into Mark’s stomach. “Quit being a disrespectful little fucker.”

“She’s my best friend, asshole,” Mark wheezes. “Basically a sister… this is what we do.”

“Both of you, go to your corners,” Apple commands without opening her eyes.

Mark and Malice glare at each other, but they do move apart. Soul pinches the bridge of his nose, and Grim snickers, his fingers moving rapidly.

“I told you to kill him,” Violet says, translating for her husband, and then smacks a hand over her mouth after she realizes what she said.

“You told him to kill me?” Mark asks incredulously.

Grim’s lip curves into an evil smile. “That was when you first showed up back in our lives. I’ve grown fond of you now. I won’t let him kill you.”

“Bunch of assholes,” Mark mutters.

“Watch it, Prospect,” Soul warns.

Four hours later, we all have our new tattoos. Mel’s is on her left shoulder in an emerald green, and Heather’s is black on her left thigh.

“Alright ladies, load up!” Jez hollers as a limo pulls into the parking lot.

Zach whistles. “Holy shit.”

Soul crosses his arms. “Now where are you going?”

We all exchange glances, but no one offers an explanation.

Finally, feeling sorry for her twin, Jez steps forward. “Vegas.” She holds up her hand before Soul can interrupt. “The prospects will be right behind us. We’re staying at the Blue Rose, and I got the boys a room right across the hall. We’ll be perfectly safe and back tomorrow afternoon.”

“Fine, but I expect you to check in.”

“We’re not fucking children,” she seethes.

“Humor me,” Soul says gently. Jez slowly deflates and dips her chin in agreement.

We all pile into the limo, ready for a night of drunken fun. We wave goodbye to our men, laughing the entire time. What they don’t know is what our plans are once we get to Vegas. Mark and Zach are in for a real treat. I, for one, can’t wait to see the look on their faces when they realize what tonight’s entertainment is.

Thunder Down Under here we come!

CHAPTER 25

ROGUE

“They’re fine, bro.”

I absently nod at Abyss. We’re sitting at the bar in the clubhouse, and I can’t stop thinking about Skye living it up in Vegas. I agree with Soul that Skye isn’t in danger because of the money theft, but shit… Vegas? A lot of bad shit can go down there.

“This is why I ordered Mark and Zach to go with them,” Soul says, slapping me on the back. “Besides, they’ve all proven they can handle themselves.”

“So you’re not worried about the mother of your child?” I counter.
