I stared at my brother incredulously. “Stop being girls.”
“Don’t brush us aside!” Rook answered.
“He’s having an effect on you.”
“Mike? No.”
“Dynamo, we touched you today without you ripping our arms off and beating us bloody. That’s thefirst time in a year. That’s fuckin’ huge,” Thunderbird stated.
“You’re assholes; maybe my chat with Pipes helped,” I retorted.
“Nope. Mike,” Rook disagreed and nodded over to ACI. I glowered and sipped my whiskey. Sometimes I hated my brothers. But the whole time I was here, I kept watch. Mike didn’t entertain any of the women or their friends his brothers brought back. In fact, he shunned a couple several times. That warmed something deep inside me.
Mike
I loathed nightclubs, but I’d been dragged out. The team needed to let off steam, and I couldn’t blame them. I’d not been on some of the rescues, but I’d led them from comms. Tonight they wanted to party, get laid, and relax. Even Jude was at the bar pulling a woman. Good for him. But none of those making eye contact was the star of my dreams.
Dynamo had snuck in and taken hold, and I doubted she realised her impact.
The girls had told me she’d called herself my girlfriend to those bitches at school, and it had given me hope. But she’d rebuffed me, and I wouldn’t force her. Not a chance in hell. Dynamo would smash me like a rotten pumpkin if I tried. She was strong and independent, even though she didn’t realise it.
Finally, I grew bored with watching my brothers pull women and got up.
“I’m heading out,” I said, and Jude looked up.
“You okay?”
“Sure, just wanna get home to the girls.”
Jude nodded. “You sober?”
I laughed. “Captain, I’ve been nursing the same whiskey all night.”
Jude chuckled. “See you later, Captain.”
I said my goodbyes and headed down the stairs. I hit the main level and began weaving through the crowd when my break for freedom was foiled. To my absolute horror, Missy, Pamela, and Shauna cornered me.
“Mike!” Pamela screeched, tottering towards me on ridiculous heels.Crap!
“Pamela, ladies.” I attempted to move past them.
“Oh, dance with us,” Shauna said.
“Sorry, I’m leaving. I need to get home to the girls.” I tried to step around them, but Shauna blocked me. Fuck. I didn’t want to be rude. Pamela shoved up against my chest, her tits plastered to me. Missy latched onto my arm as Shauna ran her fingers down my other.
“Mike, you’ve such huge… muscles,” Shaun tittered.
Fuck’s sake. Could this bitch be any more obvious? I grabbed Pamela’s arms and moved her back. The slut fought me, and I squeezed a little harder to move her. At the same time, I shrugged Missy off.
“Don’t touch me, ladies; you weren’t invited to!” Isnapped.
“Don’t be like that. Hey, that babysitter you sent to collect the girls the other day, she had the audacity to claim she’s your girlfriend!” Pamela exclaimed, licking her lips. Her tongue made me feel sick. Christ, I’d not had such a visceral reaction to a woman before.
“Dynamo didn’t lie, and you’re disrespecting her and me,” I declared, grabbing the lifeline offered.
“There’s no way that biker whore is with you.” Missy snickered loudly. “We all know what the women in that club do. Spread their legs for those men.”
“Now that sounds a lot like fuckin’ slander,” Dynamo said from behind. She shoved past Pamela, knocking her off balance, and elbowed Missy away from me.
