“Well,if you aren’t the most badass woman I’ve ever met,” Smoke said the moment I stepped into the clubhouse.
I blinked, not having expected to see the South Dakota boys. Crow and Acid were standing in the kitchen drinking beer.
“Want one?” Acid asked Viper.
Viper nodded.
“Can I get one, too?” I asked.
“None for you,” Viper said.
I raised my brows. “Excuse me? I took a bullet for you and you’re denying me a beer?”
The South Dakota boys burst into laughter, but Viper’s jaw clenched.
“Too soon to joke about this?” I asked cheekily.
“Uh-oh. Viper’s gonna blow a gasket,” Raze said.
“It’s not like this is the first time you’ve been shot,” Smoke said to Viper.
“It’s not?” I demanded. “I’d like the story, please.”
“You’re on painkillers and I actually give a damn about your liver. So, no beer for you.”
“It’s beer. It’s basically water,” I said. “And why are you allowed to drink?”
“Because I’m not on any painkillers,” he explained.
“You’re on antibiotics. You’re not supposed to drink on those either. Besides, you and I have a rule, remember?” I asked.
“Rule? What rule?” Acid queried as he took a sip of his beer.
My cheeks flamed when I suddenly remembered that we weren’t alone. “If I can’t, he can’t.”
Viper handed the bottle of beer back to Crow.
“Aww, aren’t you guys sweet,” Bones quipped.
“Why are you all here?” I demanded.
“We live here,” Smoke pointed out.
“Yeah, I get that,” I said. “But I meanthere,in the living room, having a beer. Almost like you were waiting for us.”
“Wewerewaiting for you,” Raze said.
“Sit down, Sutton,” Viper commanded.
“Will you stop ordering me around?” I snapped.
“Sit down before you fall over—you’re swaying,” he said.
With a disgruntled look, I finally plopped my ass in a recliner.
“Are you thrown by this at all? You’ve been through a lot the last few weeks…” Smoke inquired, studying me like I was an animal in a zoo.
“Not yet,” I said. “I’m wondering if I’ll feel it later. You know, like jet lag.”
