Spec (Defenders M.C, Book 6) by Amanda Anderson Page B

like a predator until Mrs had opened her legs and slid her back down that pole.  Then he had stood so fast his chair had hit the floor and claimed his woman.  Mrs lifted her head and winked as he slapped her ass and stalked away.  That woman would be getting lucky very soon.  Candy looked around, but never saw Spec, she was a little disappointed.  She did see Ink and the look he wore was volcanic.  He was pissed and Candy had never seen him lose his cool before.  It looked like the whole world was about to get to see him erupt.
    Angel bent over and wiggled her ass and he exploded, but he didn’t grab Angel the way Preach had, he just turned and walked out the front doors.  Angel stood up and paled.  She turned and mumbled an excuse that Candy didn’t understand before she disappeared backstage.  The other women were being pulled from the stage by their men and the looks they shared threatened to burn the place down.
    “Well we might as well get dressed and head out.  I’m getting hungry.  How about a pizza?”  Candy asked Mina.
    “Sounds perfect!  I’m starving and my feet are killing me.”
    They dressed and Mina picked up a few things lying around in the dressing room.  Candy laughed and tried to explain what everything was and what they did, but she could see that Mina was shocked.  Ink was right, Mina didn’t belong in this world.
    They ended up begging a ride from Marty and Mike and called in a pizza order on the way.  Marty chatted animatedly about her upcoming wedding and made Mina promise to attend.  Mina wore a wide grin that Candy had never seen on her before.
    “Why did Spec leave so early?”  Marty asked while looking at Candy in the visor mirror.
    “I didn’t know he was there tonight.  When did he leave?”  Candy’s heart raced.  Had he watched her dance?  Why had he left?
    “After you danced.  I looked up and he was gone.”  Marty shrugged. 
    “I don’t know.  Maybe he didn’t like what he saw.”
    Mike snorted.  “Yeah.  No.  Had to be something else.  You’ve got nothing to worry about there Candy Cane.  Had to be business or he would be taking you home instead of me.”
    Candy couldn’t help the smile that curved her lips.
    “Shit look at that face!  I’ve seen that look before.”  Marty crowed.
    “Where?”  Mike asked as he reached over and rubbed her belly.
    “It started the first time you crawled into my window and now I see it every day I get to wake up with you.”
    Mike smiled and looked away like it embarrassed him.  He slammed on the breaks when a car swerved into their lane and Marty grabbed the handle above her door.
    “Shhh its ok baby.  I’ve got you.”
    The look he gave Marty was full of love and Candy wanted it.  She wanted to be loved that much.  She wanted the fairytale kind of love.
    Mike left Candy and Mina in front of Just Ink and pulled away.  They walked up to the second floor and Candy unlocked the door.  She reached in and flipped the switch, but nothing happened.
    The door slammed plunging the room into darkness and Candy knew what hell was when a familiar voice whispered.
    “I’m home Candy.  Did you miss me?” 

 
    Fifteen
     
    Something was off and Spec had been on edge all evening.  He’d caught sight of Pick in Tease, but couldn’t get to him before the bastard disappeared.  Spec had promised to give Candy time with her friend, but he wanted nothing more than to rush to her and make sure she was alright.  He watched as Mike pulled away and he told himself he would just run up and check on his girl real quick, but no lights came on inside the apartment and that had him slowing his steps as he became more cautious.  Caution hit the wind when he heard Candy scream.
    “Mina run!”
    Spec broke into a sprint and pulled his phone from his pocket.  Mike picked up on the first ring.
    “Something’s wrong at Candy’s place.  Heard a scream.”
    He hung up knowing Mike would make calls and get back to
