“If anyone asks, I’m taking his truck and the prospects home.”
She headed outside unnoticed and found the prospects. After she arranged for them to follow her home, she strode to Mason’s truck and climbed in the driver’s seat. She’d spent the freaking day working and the last thing she wanted to do was party the rest of the night away.
The streets were unusually busy and she hated waiting in traffic. She breathed a sigh of relief when she finally made her way towards Apollo Beach and away from the city.
She pushed the garage door button and waited for the door to rise. Three prospects came home with her and she let them sit inside the living room, keeping guard while she found something for dinner. Her cell phone rang and she saw the club number on the readout. She pressed ignore and returned to cooking.
“Okay.” She turned towards the prospects once the food was in the oven. “Please explain passing around the pussy at the club. I don’t get it.”
Tony chuckled as he took a seat at the kitchen bar. “You don’t get it because you’re a girl.”
She propped her hand on her hip. “You’re seriously okay with that?”
“What? You being a girl?”
“Passing pussy around.”
Dave smiled. “What’s wrong with it?”
She leaned against the cabinet. “Knowing your friend is fucking the same person that fucked you is a little awkward.”
Joe laughed. “Do you expect everyone you sleep with to be a virgin?”
She rolled her eyes again. “No but I don’t date my friends’ lovers.”
Tony ran a hand through his hair. “Is this about Mason?”
She moved to the fridge and pulled out three beers and a soda. “It’s not about anything. I just don’t understand some aspects of the MC life.”
She handed each man a beer and popped the top of her soda. She didn’t care what Mason did or with whom he did it. She didn’t like that after the entire day of being with her, though, he simply ignored her like she didn’t exist. He simply went on to the next girl who showed him her tits and giggled in his ear.
“You’re not supposed to understand some aspects of club life.” Tony opened the beer can and sipped. “You either analyse it to the point nothing makes sense, or you embrace it and take each event as it comes.”
Addison took a drink of her soda. “I guess I’m analysing it.”
“Don’t. Mason really likes you. The club doesn’t need to come between you two, because I’ll tell you right now, he’ll choose the club over a girl any day. Don’t force him to make that decision.”
When dinner was done, she spooned out the chicken meal and they ate together with light conversation about motorcycles. She’d had no idea how much these guys loved their bikes, but they informed her quickly that they were almost as important as family.
“Well, boys, I hate to leave good company, but I’m going to bed. I don’t know when Mason will be home, so you can make yourselves comfortable in the living room. He has a million channels. I’m sure you can find something to watch.”
Addison wiped the countertops down and tossed the rag in the sink. The boys went to the living room and settled in front of the TV. She said goodnight and went to the master bedroom, heading straight to the bath.
She undressed and ran the water until the garden tub was nearly half full. She climbed in and lay back in the hot water, closing her eyes and draping a wet wash cloth over her face. Her mind roamed from thoughts of work to her house. She didn’t know what her next move should be. Stopping by to assess the damage was still something she couldn’t do. She didn’t know how much of her stuff she’d actually lost.
When the water finally chilled, she took the rag off her face and let the water out. If she were at her house, candles would surround her with the soft scent of something tropical. Instead, she’d settled for Mason’s body wash, which, thankfully, was gender neutral.
She climbed out of the
