Blood released her.
She scrambled out from between him and the wall, and shoved past several laughing brothers as she made for the door.
“You’re all fucking crazy!” she spat as she ran out followed by the men’s laughter.
Skylar’s eyes followed the girl’s retreat and then returned to Blood. He was staring right at her and grinning that cocky grin as if he’d done that just to get to her. She ran her hand over her throat as a chill went through her, her eyes still locked with his, and then she watched his eyes drop to the hand at her throat, and then further down to her chest.
Spinning on the barstool, she turned toward her father. “His kind of games? What does that mean?”
“Let’s just say, a man like Blood—he doesn’t ask nicely, he just takes what he wants. Some girls are down with that. Some aren’t. She obviously fell into the latter category.”
“And if you hadn’t stopped him?”
“Oh, I think we both know that little show was all about you.”
“Me?”
“Don’t play coy with me, honey. I was sitting right here.”
Skylar swallowed and looked away.
“Thought so.” Undertaker leaned closer to her. “Fair warning, you give him an opening—he’s gonna walk right in, darlin’.”
“I’m not…giving him an opening.”
Undertaker nodded. “That’s your call. Just so you know what you’re dealing with. He’s not a man to be trifled with.”
“I’m with Shades.”
“Maybe you are.”
“No, not maybe. I am.”
He gave her a condescending grin. “We’ll see, won’t we?”
“I don’t like you very much.”
He sobered immediately. “I just want what’s best for you. Whichever man that turns out to be.”
“That’s for me to decide.”
He just grinned that insufferable grin back at her.
“Wipe that smile off your face,” she snapped.
Then he burst out laughing.
“What’s so funny?”
“I smile because you’re my daughter. I laugh because there’s nothing you can do about it.”
She rolled her eyes as he continued to laugh.
Shades, Ghost and ‘Blondie’ came back into the bar. Blondie headed off to the restroom when Skylar told her that’s where her friends had gone. After she left, Ghost turned to Skylar.
“Do you have anything sharp I can stick in my eye?”
Skylar laughed. “She that bad?”
