But she was smart and didn’t. It was sad, really. Men like him should be shot and pissed on. And that would be something we would do. Once we had proof, of course. Word on the street was that the mayor and his son, Brody, were running a company in the porn industry and this club was just a ruse. I was a supporter of porn. Whatever tickled your fancy and shit. But when it came to barely-legal girls that was when I decided to take action and shut this shit down.

I was an asshole, but I never touched something that didn’t belong to me.Piper.

My dick stirred. Fuck. She wasn’t mine. At all. No. She belonged to the twins. As much as I didn’t like it, I couldn’t blame them.

“Does she hang out with my son?” Price asked, scanning the area around us. He was like a disease, latching on to anything and everything.

“Who’s your son?” It wouldn’t surprise me if Brody Davies hung out with Piper and her friends. It was a small town. Everyone grew up together and were almost forced to become friends whether they liked it or not.

“Like you don’t know.” Price crossed his arms under his chest which lifted the bottom of his shirt even more, causing more of his protruding gut to appear.

Ididknow, but like a good little boy, I played dumb. “I have no idea what you’re talking about.”

“Right.” Price rolled his eyes. “And your father isn’t Greyson Mercer. Oh and the rest of the club you’re in isn’t tailing this place or just … hanging out.” He used air quotes for that last part.

My jaw clenched but I kept my face impassive. There would be no way I would let this bastard know anything about my life. He only knew what he was told which was exactly what we had wanted.

“Again, I have no idea what you’re talking about.” I moved to stand when his next words stopped me.

“I suggest leaving this town before things get really ugly. You wouldn’t want your little girlfriend and her friends to get hurt, would you?”

“Is that a threat?” I growled. Bodies shifted around us, my men finally coming out in the open. Although my father was the president, I was the VP and he left me in charge when needed. He was also on the verge of retiring and making me president instead, so this was a test. And it was a test that I would win no matter who I had to kill in the process. I didn’t give a shit if the bastard sitting across from me was the mayor of this fucked up town. We would get the proof we needed to bring him, his son, and whoever else was involved down. We may have done some shady shit in the past, but we would never harm children or animals. And if we found out one of our club brothers was abusive to their partner, we made them disappear.

“No.” Price rubbed the smattering of scruff on his jaw. “It’s a promise. Make sure you leave quietly too.”

I sat back in my chair just as the waitress returned with his drink.

“Thank you, sweetheart.” He grabbed her arm before she could pull away. “How about you come visit me in about ten minutes. I would like to order more drinks and maybe some of your services.”

“I’m not a whore,” she said through clenched teeth.

“You work here. You’re a whore. Now leave us.” He released her roughly before turning back to me.

She shot me a look, almost pleading for me to help her.

I would, but not yet. The piece of trash sitting across from me would get his. I guaranteed it.

“To answer your question, Jaron.” The mayor sat forward. “Your club, as you call it, is fucking things up for me. I’m running for office again, as you know, so I need to keep this town clean. You guys being here is not helping.”

I bit back a scoff. We weren’t the problem.

“We’re not doing anything. I also have family here. There’s no law that says we have to leave.” I sat back in the chair, crossing my arms under my chest.

“No.” Price rubbed his jaw. “But I need to make it look good, and besides your family and friends, there’s nothing here for you.”

My family and friends were all I needed to make an appearance in this shithole town. I didn’t need any other reason to visit.

“So, I suggest leaving. And soon too because I will know if you don’t.” Price took a long swig of his beer.

“You going to have Brody watching?”

“I thought you didn’t know who my son is?” Price waved a hand in front of him. “Either way, it doesn’t matter. Yes, Brody will be watching and report back to me. You’re not stupid. You’d know that even before I told you.”

My jaw clenched. I hated being told what to do. It pissed me off to the extreme. I got that trait from my father. He wasn’t known as a hothead for no reason.

Bodies shifted around us, waiting for their instructions.

“So, what will it be, Jaron?” Price raised an eyebrow. “You going to be a good boy and listen to me for once?”
