Jane walks up behind me and Ror, putting a hand on each of our shoulders, and asks, “What’s going on?”

“Just offering them a place to stay at the clubhouse. You ready to go, baby?”

She looks down at me with those eyes gleaming like she’s planning something.

“Yeah, I’m ready. Who am I riding with, Uncle Tim or Ben?” Even though she’s teasing, I’m not able to resist the bait.

“Woman. You haven’t even been on my bike yet. You’re riding with me back to your place.”

Smiling at me like she just got what she wanted, she throws out, “Good, so that means you can be the one to go to the store with me. I was texting your ma and we’ve got a plan for the barbecue later, but I need to go get stuff.”

Ror and J start laughing at me. Going to the store is not a favorite of mine, however I’d go anywhere with her. Standing up to head out to our bikes, I look down at her.

“Baby, I’d be happy to go to the store with ya.” As soon as she turns to head out the door, I flip my brothers off and follow her out. Hearing all of them laughing makes me think they’re all a bunch of fuckers.

Just as I’m helping Jane onto my bike, I hear the guys come out to their bikes.

“Babygirl, we’re all gonna head to your place, so we can show the guys around and get that second camera set up in the back that we talked about.”

“Sounds good.”

She squeezes her arms around me and says so only I can hear, “You gonna give me a ride or not, sexy?”

Grabbing her thigh and giving it a squeeze, I say, “Baby, I’ll give you one anytime you want. Hold on tight.”

I take the back roads to her place, loving the way she rides behind me. I can tell she loves the winding roads on the bike. She was meant to be on the back of our bikes.

We pull up to her place and I see a car I don’t recognize in the driveway. Since we took the back way, the guys beat us to her place, so the front is lined with Harleys.

Jane hops off the bike quickly and heads up to the front door, like she knows whose car it is.

Jane

As soon as we pulled up to my place, I saw Vicky’s car in the driveway. I get off the bike with more grace than I thought I possessed and quickly walk up the walk to the front door. I stop at the conversation I hear happening on my porch..

“I already told you once, take your hands off me, woman. I know Rory already told you, but we ain’t interested and are committed to Jane. You knowyour friend.”

“She is my friend, but I know she can’t satisfy a man, let alone three like I can. She’s more of the fat funny friend variety, while I’m the kind of arm candy you want.”

I can tell Rory is about to say something but fuck that.

“Excuse me!” Vicky jumps back from Jon and looks at me like she didn’t just try to seduce my men.

“Janey! I couldn’t wait to see you and hang out. I was just introducing myself to your friends here. I—”

“Shut up! I heard you. I heard you try to convincemy menthat they should be with you. That I’m not good enough for them. What fucking kind of friend does that? Is that all I am to you? A wingman, and if you don’t have any other plans, friend?”

Vicky, with her arms already crossed in front of her like I was boring her, rolls her eyes at me like this was not a new revelation.

“I mean, you gotta know that, Janey. I mean, look at you and look at me. Do you really think we were besties or something? I would’ve thought you caught on when Jesse and I hooked up those few times.”

“Get out! Get out of my house, off my property, and out of my life! Lose my number and don’t think about coming back here. If you attempt to come on to any of my men again, I won’t hold back from kicking your ass back to middle school!”

“Now, Janey, I—”

“I know I didn’t stutter. Get you and your whore ass gone!”

She looks at me like she thinks I’m going to change my mind. This bitch really is certifiable if she thinks for one second that is going to happen. Years she’s been backstabbing me without me knowing.Years.
