Summer Pain by Destiny Blaine Page A

observed. Drama Mama could throw a wrench in his little pre-planned meeting with Agent Pain if he didn’t try to redirect her attention elsewhere. Maybe Jake would take one for the team.
    “All I’m saying is Tigger ain’t her boy toy,” Jake continued. “Shit, Mama. That gal is barely legal.”
    “Jake just shot your plans all to hell,” Sassy whispered in Logan’s ear.
    “I wish he’d shut his trap. We can’t use him if he keeps infuriating the club’s sheep.”
    Sassy frowned. “I wondered what Cara was thinking when she threw Jake in this mix. She sort of asked for the trouble she has by name, huh?”
    “Yes she did,” Logan agreed, thinking even Cara could do better than Jake. The guy had a reputation of riding a thousand miles with a thousand different women.
    “How am I supposed to lure Summer back to our room if Tigger and Cara are watching her every move?”
    “You’re brilliant,” Logan whispered.
    “What?” Sassy studied him as if she were profoundly confused.
    “I should’ve thought of this sooner.” Logan kissed the top of her head and patted her cheek. “Cara will want to talk to Tigger. I’ll assure him we’ll keep an eye on Summer. Tigger and Cara will do whatever it is that they always do—”
    “Fuck and argue?”
    Logan shook his head. “After talking to Tigger earlier, I have a feeling the latter is probably all they’ll accomplish, but what they do really doesn’t matter to us. I just need a few minutes with Summer.”
    “You really think Tigger is hooked?”
    “Oh yeah.”
    “How does that happen?” Sassy asked. “I mean, look at us. We knew one another for a lifetime.”
    “And we were separated for a number of years, but I still had you in my bed within a few days of you walking in here. Remember?”
    “How could I forget,” she rasped, entwining her fingers with his. “You’re just irresistible.”
    “And you were always the only woman for me.”
    “Quit flirting,” Sassy scolded him. “This may not play out the way you’d hoped. Cara thought she was the only woman for Tigger.”
    “She made a grave mistake and overestimated the power of love. It’s hard for love to conquer all when you’re trying and testing that love at every turn. In the end, her attachment to him would’ve destroyed him. She was willing to stop at nothing to prove to him that he needed her more than she needed him. With those tactics, it was inevitable. Sooner or later, she was bound to push him into the arms of another woman.”
    “But I doubt she thought Tigger would rebound quite as quickly as he did.”
    Logan shrugged and studied Cara from a safe distance. He could see the hurt in her eyes. “I’ll never understand Cara. She must be a very miserable person.”
    Sassy frowned. “Don’t be so hard on her, Logan. I don’t think Cara believes she’s worthy of Tigger’s love, or anyone else’s for that matter.”

 
    Chapter Sixteen
     
     
    Logan approached them as soon as they arrived. He gave Tigger a half-hug and a slap on the back, the gesture a biker thing.
    After formal introductions were made, Logan said, “Tigger, you need to talk to Cara. Sassy helped her move her things out of your room earlier, but I think it would help keep the peace if you had a few kind words for her.”
    Summer stiffened. This was Logan’s way of luring Tigger away long enough for the two of them to talk?
    Tigger squeezed her hand tighter. “Cara knows where we stand. She’ll be fine.”
    Logan arched a brow and studied Summer with an intense glare. Now it was her turn.
    “Tigger, Logan is right. You should talk to her.” She didn’t sound convincing.
    “Sassy and I will keep Summer company while you talk to Cara,” Logan volunteered.
    Tigger’s eye twitched. He studied the bar where Cara was standing. She shot him a smile and struck a pose. He took a deep breath.
    “You’re sure you’re all right with this?”
    Summer grated back curse words and forced a smile. “Of course.
