jumped back, ripping my ear out of her mouth, wondering if she’d taken a chunk with her. Holy shit—she
bit
me. A trickle of warm fluid ran down my neck. Blood. I couldn’t help it, I burst out laughing because she was tiny and angry and hissing at me like a wet cat on top of the table. I wanted to fuck her more now than I had five minutes ago. Damn, though . . . my ear hurt. That wasn’t a love bite.
    Who was this woman?
    Marie scowled, her message coming through loud and clear.
    “I get it, hands off,” I said, shaking my head, holding up my arms in pointed surrender. My dick might not be amused by thisturn of events, but for once I didn’t give a flying fuck what my dick wanted. I was having way too much fun. “Play it the way you like. And you’re right, we’ve got business. Go drive for an hour, that should be enough time.”
    Marie slid off the table, darting around me as she ran to her little piece-of-shit car. I followed, bemused, wondering if she had some magic power that turned grown men into pussies. Marie opened her car door but turned back to look at me, teeth worrying at her lip. I waited for whatever the hell would come out of her mouth. After that bite, I was on uncharted ground. At least it wasn’t boring.
    “Horse isn’t your real name, is it?”
    I smiled. Now
that
was better . . . Playtime wasn’t over yet, after all.
    “Road name,” I replied. “That’s the way things work in my world. Citizens have names. We have road names.”
    “What does that mean?”
    “People give them to you when you start riding. They can mean all kinds of things. Picnic got his name because he went all out planning some pansy-assed picnic for a bitch who had him twisted up in knots. She ate his food and drank his booze, then called her fuckwad boyfriend to come and pick her up while he took a leak.”
    She frowned.
    “That seems . . . unpleasant. Why would he want to remember that?”
    “Because when the fuckwad showed up, Picnic shoved his head through a picnic table.”
    Her breath caught and I saw indecision written all over her face.
    “And Max?”
    “When he gets drunk, sometimes his eyes go all wide and he looks fuckin’ crazy, like Mad Max.”
    “I see,” she said, glancing toward the trailer. I waited, but she kept her mouth closed. Smart girl. I’d be damned if I’d let her off the hook that easy, though.
    “So aren’t you gonna ask?” Silence fell between us, then she opened her mouth.
    “So why are you called Horse?”
    “’Cause I’m hung like one,” I replied, unable to control my smirk. She blushed hard and ducked in the car. I had to jump back and away as she jammed it into gear and peeled out of the driveway.
    Now
that
was fun.
    And weird.
    I still wanted to nail her, probably more now than before. But that little exchange—bite and all—that’d been better than the average blow job.
    Go figure.

    “The money’s all there,” I said, clicking through the list of accounts. I glanced over at Jeff, who sat by the kitchen bar smoking a little glass pipe. He’d gone from jittery to stoned in the time I’d been outside with Marie. Hadn’t seen that coming. Pic must’ve really wanted the asshole to shut up, because normally he’d never tolerate someone getting faded before business was finished.
    “Of course it’s all there,” Jeff said lazily. “I already told you. It was just a little mistake and I fixed it. I don’t know why you got so worked up about it.”
    “I got worked up because I thought you were stealing,” I replied. “And you know what happens to people who steal from the club. We need to go over the rules again?”
    Jeff took a long hit, then started coughing, smoke shooting out of his nose in little puffs. He grabbed his beer and sucked it down before answering.
    “You don’t have to keep threatening me. I knew what I wasgetting into. We’ve been working together for nearly two years and I’ve never screwed you, have I? Trust needs to go
