I take out every single bill one by one, letting the string snap against her skin each time, hoping it leaves a mark.

She leaves me after I deliver my promise of what’s coming as I smack her ass.

Now I’m pissed for a completely different reason because there should be a bruise in the shape of my hand on her ass and there isn’t.

Did she cover it up? Or was I just not spanking my girl hard enough?

I wait until I see her head backstage, making sure she doesn’t work the floor like the other girl has been doing throughout the night.

I will shoot the motherfucker on the spot if I see her give someone a lap dance.

Only once Blake has disappeared, I turn back to my brothers, who aren’t even hiding the fact that they just watched everything that went down.

Fucking nosy bastards.

They’re worse than the club bunnies.

“Let’s roll out,” I tell them as I stand up.

I need to get the hell out of here.

They all shrug and get up.

“I’m pissed Jinx wasn’t here tonight,” Scar grumbles as we head out. “Has your girl said anything about her?”

I side-eye him. “No, and I haven’t asked. You got a thing for her?”

Scar shrugs. “She had a nice rack.”

Val snorts. “What stripper doesn’t?”

“Sling!” I hear being shouted from the other side of the parking lot.

My boots drag on the pavement as I come to a stop. My head tips back and I sigh.

This motherfucker.

He’s everywhere like a damn cockroach.

“Mr. President!” Russ yells, his voice getting closer.

I look over to see him beelining it right toward us.

“Mr. President.” X snickers next to me, making all the guys laugh.

I don’t blame them. What the fuck is up with this guy?

“Will you shut the fuck up?” I demand once he’s in earshot. “You don’t need to let the entire neighborhood know that I’m here.”

Russ comes to a stop in front of me, panting and out of breath. His eyes are round as saucers as they frantically dart around all of us before focusing on me.

Jesus. He’s coked the fuck out.

“Sorry, sorry. Of course.” Russ squeezes his eyes shut as she shakes his eyes. “I should have known better.”

I glance at Mountain who has flanked my side. He gives me the same look back.

This is fucking weird.
