Page 20 of Shadow's Surrender
Shadow’s gaze cut over to Brittany’s. “Ignore him, he’s fallen on his head one too many times.”
She shook her head. “I guess bikers like gossiping just like anyone else.” She put the dishes back on the table, then placed her hands on her hips and glared at Helm. “First off, I don’t cheat on my husband; second”—Brittany looked over at Shadow—“thedudeI was kissing was my old man and he’s the bartender, and third”—she picked up the plates again –“mind your own business.” She turned around and stomped away.
Helm took out his sunglasses. “It’s too bad she’s hitched ’cause she’s got a mighty fine ass.”
The men guffawed and swaggered out of the restaurant. They crossed the parking lot and jumped on their bikes. With a load roar, they sped away from the roadhouse and made their way back home.
When Shadow entered the clubhouse, cold air swirled around him at the same time Tania’s fingers curled around his muscled forearm.
“I owe you a big thank you, baby. The pool was perfect.” She leaned against him, her ample tits spilling out of her top. “I got some fun things planned for us.”
Shadow smiled and gently pulled out of her grasp. “I’m glad you girls had fun. I’m beat, but if I get a second wind, you’ll be the first one to know, okay?”
Disappointment spread across her face. “You don’t wanna play?”
“Not right now. I got some shit I gotta do with the rentals. I have to look over the books.”
“Can’t you do that tomorrow?”
“No. I’m helping Smokey out at one of his jobs in the morning.” Shadow squeezed her shoulder. “Another time, okay?”
“All right,” she said, casting her gaze around the room. “It’s your loss.” Tania walked away and made a beeline for Hubcap, who sat on a bar stool with a bottle of beer in his hand.
As Shadow watched Tania wrap her arms around the biker’s neck and then kiss him passionately, Scarlett’s lips pressed against his own flashed through his mind.Fuck!
He walked up to the bar and told the prospect he wanted a bottle of Jack. Gripping the whiskey in his hand, he walked out of the room and trudged up the stairs.
