SISTER SASS

Jester leaves me flusteredand afraid. I get the urge to keep riding until I can reach my dad’s house. I’m dying to hide inside like a child in need of protecting. Of course, I don’t make that chicken-ass move.

Instead, I ride to HQ and climb off my hog as if I’ve got ovaries of steel.Nothing gets Sister Sass down. She’s a tough broad.All the lies I sell to others are more difficult to sell to myself.

Jester doesn’t leave his bike right away. He looks around the quiet morning as his fingers dance across his motorcycle’s hard body. His mind seems to wander.

As I watch Jester enjoy his new freedom, I promise I’m perfectly capable of handling him. He might be a sexy bully, but I am, too. We can bully the world together, but we’ll never bully each other.

Except my ass still stings where his hand made contact.Jester’s a bully on a whole other level.

I’m clearly in over my head. I need help. I should stop standing around and just run away. Papa Bear will make sense of the chaos in my head.

Jester’s gaze finally focuses on me. The smirk on his handsome face makes me feel special and loved. I’m what he desires. I can’t remember a time when he wasn’t what I wanted. Now, he only sees me.

After Jester joins me at HQ’s back door, I tip my chin upward to get a kiss before we feel everyone’s eyes on us. His lips don’t tease. He consumes me as his hand slides across my ass and tugs me against his hard body.

I guess I need to accept baby steps aren’t possible with Jester. He nearly broke something last night by not fucking me. Every time we kissed, I felt him struggling against the urge to rip off our clothes and find relief.

“I normally sit with Aqua and Jelly Bean,” I mumble after his demanding lips free mine. “But we can sit wherever you want. Or I can leave you with the founders.”

“You’re looking to be my old lady, right? That’s how all the commitment shit works, doesn’t it? Well, then, you can’t bail and play with your friends.”

“Well, if you’re looking to be my man, you’ve got to accept how I’m a free bird unwilling to be caged.”

Jester narrows his eyes and states in a low voice, “I’m going wherever you go.”

Grinning, I open the door to HQ and enter to find a place filled with people and tension. Tonight is the attack on the Texas estate. Everyone is worried. That’s why they’re too loud and smiling so much. No one wants to be the one to flip out, but everyone knows we might lose friends tonight.

Jester wraps his muscled arm around my shoulders to keep me from fleeing to Aqua’s table. Instead, we make the rounds as Jester puts on a show like I asked. I know he has zero interest in chitchat. He said he minded his own business in prison and rarely spoke to anyone.

“Now everyone’s up my ass, curious about my every fart” is how he explained his feelings last night.

But my speech about making people feel normal must have worked because Jester plays nice. We move from table to table, saying hello.

Nursing a bad mood, Ominous finds solace with Aqua and Jelly Bean. She wanted to go on the Texas mission, but Luca nixed the idea. That caused a lot of friction in our chick club within the Born Villains.

Luca refused to back down. So, mama bear remained here while her grown cub takes part in the mission.

Jester gets cranky when Ominous gives him grief about marking my neck. “We’re not in high school,” she mutters.

“I didn’t go to high school,” he snarls back.

I tug Jester away before the old friends start throwing punches as a way to distract from their stress. We end up at Overlord’s table, where my brother is on breakfast duty alone. Jules turns into a hermit when stressed. Today, she must be in a bad place because she skipped breakfast.

“Who’s that?” Evie asks me and points at Jester.

My blonde niece looks at her evil “twin.” Sighing dramatically, Zoey stands up on her chair and swings a fist around at Jester.

“I’ll handle him,” she tells her sister like she just can’t even with all this shit.
