“Payden, I don’t want to think about you and my boss going at it.” I screw my nose up. “Even though you’d make a cute couple.”
“I don’t know if you’d penetrate that forcefield he puts up,” Manny chimes in. “But you’d have a fun time trying.”
“I’d let him penetrate my force field any day of the week,” Payden says with a sly grin as I try not to chuckle. She always makes me laugh.
“You’re a bad influence,” I tell her.
She grins. “And I’m just getting warmed up where cocktails are concerned.”
“Don’t tell me I’ll have to haul you out of here too?” he groans. “I already promised Tag I’d look out for all of you. Even though there are two prospects outside to make sure we all get home safe.”
“Aww,” Payden says with a cute pout. “The MC aren’t just assholes after all.”
“Don’t be fooled,” I retort. “There’s one exemplary specimen.”
“Now, now, if Tag didn’t care, he wouldn’t be staking the place out. I don’t think Hawk is the only one who is willing to carry his woman out of here over his shoulder,” Manny snickers.
“I’ve told you a million times, I’mnothis woman. He can fuck whoever he wants,” I counter. “I don’t know why he’s here, except to annoy me and try to control my life.”
Damn asshole.
“Think of it like this, it could be a good thing…” Payden whispers.
I give her a look. “How do you figure?”
She bats her eyelashes. “Well, if he’s getting jealous of strippers being around you, it means he doesn’t want anyone touching you, which means he’s still interested…”
“I don’t care!” I all but yell.
“Keep your panties on,” Manny says. “I don’t think they heard you in Arizona.”
“I’m just saying,” I say, lowering my voice. “He rejected me more than once; I think I’m done with the humiliation.”
They both give me a look and I shake it off.
“Babe…” Payden begins.
I take a long swig of my drink. “Need to powder my nose.”
She pouts. “Want me to come?”
I shake my head. “I’m fine.” I know I’m touchy, but I can’t help it.
Just knowing he’s here somewhere, spying on me, kinda boils my blood but also heats my insides at the same time.
I don’t know who he thinks he is.
I slide out of the booth and grab my purse.
I just need to enjoy tonight, get Tag out of my brain for one evening. And if he wants to spy on me from a distance and pretend otherwise, well, that’s on him.
He needs to get a life and stop following me everywhere.
Just as I turn to step into the partition to the ladies’, I bump into a woman, adjusting her top as she strides past me in a hurry. She nearly bowls me over and I turn to say something when what I see next delivers the final blow. Tag. And he’s zipping up his jeans.
I stare at him, then his crotch in utter disbelief.
It’s pretty obvious what they were doing, and even if he thinks I don’t have a right to be mad, I see red.
