He lifted his head, his grin barely visible in the limited light. “Or right now. I could go another round.”
I bit my lip and scrunched my nose to hide my giddy grin, leaning my forehead against his. I’d just tangled my tongue with his when someone came around the side of the building, barking at Clink.
“Oye, dumbass! Stop fuckin’ around! We got shit to do!”
Clink pulled back, letting out a heavy sigh. “Motherfucker. I’m a little fuckin’ busy!” he growled.
“Tough shit. You got a job to do.”
I recognized Knox’s voice, but luckily, he didn’t stick around. The embarrassment that I’d pushed aside when we started came flooding back and I let my legs fall so Clink could put me back on my feet. He looked irritated, tying off the condom and tossing it into a nearby trashcan before grabbing my hand and dragging me to him.
“We’ll pick this up later.”
Pouting, I readjusted my clothes. “How long will you be gone?”
“I dunno when I’ll be back, but I’ll try and make it quick.”
He didn’t seem willing to give me any details, and I remembered Riley saying the guys were really closed off about their business. Not because he didn’t trust me, only because he wanted to keep me safe. I didn’t argue about it, letting him lead me back inside with an arm around my shoulders.
Chrissie was gone from what I could tell when we got back inside, and when Clink steered me over to where Allie and Riley were talking, I felt my face flush at their knowing grins. Clink kissed the side of my head, nudging me closer.
“I’ll be back later. Stay with the ol’ ladies. You’re hot as fuck and I don’t want any of the guys here sniffing around my claim.”
I made a face, elbowing him. “Don’t be gross. And hurry up. I’m tired of sleeping alone.”
He grinned and winked at me, walking backwards until he almost ran into somebody and got shoved in response. He laughed, spinning around and heading back outside, and I turned my attention to Riley and Allie.
“So…”
Riley’s grin was wicked. “When I said make a claim, I didn't think you’d take it that far. It worked, though, so kudos. With the way she was screaming before Croy threw her out, it sounds like she won’t come back.”
Allie scoffed. “If she doesn’t, I’m buying you a present. I can’t fucking stand Chrissie.”
Since neither of them teased me or judged me for going outside with Clink, I let out a slow breath. “Glad I could help?”
Riley laughed, linking arms with me. “Come on, you little badass. Let’s go get a drink.”
CHAPTER 33
CLINK
I’d completely forgotten that I had a job tonight. The party was Neo’s idea, a cover to let me get out unnoticed and load up the product for Hammer. Croy knew all about it and was playing oblivious, sticking to his office or at the party where people could see him. We still thought there was a mole inside, so we were cautious about playing it up for the crowd. Since Neo had done this shit with Hammer before, he was the only one coming with me to load up the goods.
“You nervous?”
I shot him a confused look before giving my attention back to the road. We were in Nevada’s truck since we needed the bed to haul the product. He was none too pleased about it, but he was the only one who had a truck except Sam and there wasn’t a chance in hell I was moving product in her vehicle.
“No. Why?”
He shrugged, turning his attention toward the window. Neo’s fall from grace was a bit of a sore spot. He betrayed his brotherhood, but he did it for his family. He had two little brothers who were being threatened. That didn’t make it much better, but I suddenly understood his fear.
“Don't sweat it, man. If Hammer asks why you were with me, I’ll tell him I’m threatening you, same as Wrecker did. He’s not gonna check to see if I’m right.”
He grimaced. “No, but he might send people to do it for you or something. They’re just kids, Clink. If I could, I’d send them as far away as possible, but their old man won’t leave town.”
“Since you’re doing what I told you to do, there’s no reason for him to send someone to handle your family. And this will be over soon. Once I get a location on his hideout, we’ll go in. Croy’s not gonna wait around this time. We don’t wanna risk him sneaking off again.”
With a small nod, he slumped a little in his seat, going back to staring out the window. I left him to it, not really in the mood to play therapist. I had my own shit to worry about. The potential to get high was strongest tonight, and while a big part of me wanted to give in and enjoy it while I could, I also wanted to go home to Sam. I didn’t want to spend the night on the floor with Tyson again. If I could figure out a way to pass on the hits and keep myself clean, I could keep my promise to Sam and join her after I got back. It’d be hell on earth, turning down a guaranteed high, but she was worth it.
