I whip around. “The fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“I know who she is.” She plays with a toothpick in her mouth and grins. “The mayor’s daughter. She might fuck you, Maliki, but she’ll never keep you.”
“And you could never keep me, Penny.”
Fuck this night.
I wish Liz or Mikey were here. I’d ask them to take over, so I could go upstairs, have a drink, throw something, run a mile.
Anything to forget Penny’s words.
Anything to stop thinking about a woman I can’t have.

“Sit your cute ass down.You’ve had a long night.”
The bar is closed, and it seems working the rest of the night has cooled off Sierra. And me. Neither one of us has mentioned Penny, and I have no issue with that.
Sierra snorts. “Uh, you did most of the work and were here earlier than me, meaning you’ve had a longer night.”
My attention fixes on her, and I fight with myself on whether to say what I want to tell her. Against my better judgment, because I feel it needs to be said, I do. “You know, you don’t have to work here. I’ll loan you the money, help out, whatever to get you back on your feet. If you need an advance for the bar renovation, I can do that, too.”
She winces. “Where is this coming from?” She’s silent for a few moments. “Is this your way of telling me you don’t want me working here? Did your spread-legged friend convince you I don’t belong here?” She tosses the rag she was cleaning the bar with down into the sink.
I love seeing pissed off, attitude-filled Sierra.
Not so much when it’s thrown at me.
“Penny?” I shake my head.Just when I hoped we could go without mentioning her.“Penny has nothing to do with this. What I mean is, you can find something better for yourself … for your image.”
“Fuck my image,” she seethes. “And fuck you for letting your fuck buddy,Penny, change your mind about me. If I’m a burden to you, I’ll move my needing-a-better-image ass out. If you don’t want me around for whatever lame reason you’re thinking, I’ll quit.” She shakes her head and sucks in a deep breath to keep her voice steady. “I mean, I don’t understand why she’s so bothered with my working here. I’m not stopping her from screwing you again. Call her over.” She flicks her hand through the air and slides it over the middle of the bar. “Fuck her right here, right now if you want.”
I’ve never seen Sierra so pissed off, and it’s fucking hot as hell.
My cock jerks in my jeans. Not with the thought of fucking Penny there, but with the idea of seeing Sierra spread wide, allowing me to have my way with her. Sierra’s back hits the bar when I crowd toward her.
“Is that what you want?” I say, out of patience. “For me to fuck her right here, right now, in front of you?”
Her eyes widen, my words startling her, and she chews on her lower lip. “Not particularly, but it’s whatever. There’s nothing between us, right?” She nudges my shoulder, but I stay firm in my spot, only inches away from her. “No, you’ll screw every other woman in this town though.”
A mix of emotions flashes across Sierra’s gorgeous face—frustration, desire, hunger. I wouldn’t be surprised if mine resembled the same.
I lean in, my lips touching her cheek. “What’s up with your fascination with my sex life?”
She gasps when I cup my hands on the sides of her waist and prop her up onto the bar—exactly where she told me to fuck Penny. Her legs spread, producing the perfect amount of space for me as I shift between them. She shudders, goose bumps fluttering over her skin, when my hand settles on her thigh.
Her attention drifts to my hand, but I don’t move it, and she fights to keep her voice steady. “I’m notobsessedwith your sex life.”
“Yes, you are.”
“Call me crazy for being curious about the chick you boned in your office, which I’m sure wasn’t the first time that happened. Hell, you’ve probably screwed her on this bar.”
I remain silent.
It’s the truth.
“Wow,” she says. She shoves me back, drops off the bar, shudders, and scrapes her hand over her body. “Let me get the whore germs off me—both yours and hers.”
