Fudge's Sprite: (Brothers of Devil's Comfort MC Book 4) by Brair Lake Page B

arm, and spins me round, to face her. Her nails, digging into the bare flesh of my arm.
    “He’s mine, and some whoring skank isn’t having him.”
    It slowly dawns on me that she is going on about Nick, and the woman, who is standing in front of me, must have some kind of crush on him.
    “Listen lady. Who Nick sees, is up to Nick. Now, why don’t you go on your merry way?”
    With a toss of my head, I turned and shake off the hand, which was holding me back. Thankfully, this time I manage to get away. As I was about to slip into the café, another hand grips my arm. Frustrated at been stopped for the second time, I turned towards my assailant.
    “Look, I…”
    When I see that it is Linc, I stop speaking, and wait to hear, what he has to say.
    “Who was that? And what did she want?”
    “You didn’t recognize her?”
    “I wouldn’t be asking, if I had.”
    If Linc had not recognized her, then she neither worked at Tie Me Down, nor, was she one of the club’s whores. With a gentle pull, of my arm, Linc lets go, but continues to stare. Almost as though he was waiting for an answer.
    “She bumped into me, and asked if I was interested in the dress I was looking at.”
    Why I lied about this, I do not know, but Linc appeared to believe me. After giving me one last appraisal, he turned back to the Tattoo Studio. The fact, that he held his phone to his ear, did not go unnoticed by me. Fuck, Nick will probably ask about it when he came home this evening.
    Lunch with the girls soon passed. Although the run in with the stranger has unsettled me. I intentionally forget to mention the episode to them. Mainly, because I have come to the conclusion, that she must have been some slut, Nick must have fucked, whilst out of town. Also Ivy’s news had shocked the table into silence.
    “What do you mean? You’re leaving Comfort Springs?”
    Baby Blu’s query has me patiently watching Ivy, as we wait for her answer.
    “I’m thinking of going back to Las Vegas, with Flynn. Laura and Quick Draw no longer need me.”
    Four sets of eyes stare at the redhead as though she had lost her marbles.
    “One date with Flynn and you’re thinking of running away with him?”
    Ivy’s laughter filled the room, as her eyes sparkled.
    “Really Cassie? How long had you known Linc, before you married him?”
    Cassie, threw her arms up in the air in mock defeat, as we all tried to contain our own mirth.
    As the banter went back and forth I noticed the time and collect my purse.
    “Got to run girls. Catch up later.”
    “You bet. We want the low down on you, and Nick.”
    Rayven was the baby of the group, and I promised her, that we could meet up for lunch again during the week.
    Back at the Sheriff’s office, Adam was waiting for me, where he called me into his office.
    “We’ve got the report back from the labs.”
    “That was quick.”
    Without taking my eyes of Adam, my mind whirls. He did not look happy. As he sat on the table’s edge, his leg was swinging, and Adam was watching me intently.
    “What do you know about the girls, associated with Devil’s Comfort?”
    This time, it is my turn to frown, wondering what Baby Blu and the others had to do with the break in.
    “I guess I know, what they want me to know. What does this have to do with Cassie and the others?”
    Adam’s smile, while tilted, did not extend to his eyes. The concern in them causes me to panic. Had I done something to piss the club off, and was this, their way of warning me. If so, why had Ivy and Quick Draw, helped with the aftermath?
    “No, the whores. What do you know of the lifestyle Nick leads, and which whores he’s slept with?”
    Nick has been with the club for a long time, and my guess is, that apart from the old ladies, he has fucked all the whores at both, Tie Me Down, and the club.
    “What does that have to do with the break in?”
    “Like I said, I’ve got the report back from the labs. The urine sample taken, shows it to be
