By the time Dom gets to the clubhouse, or whatever Robbie called it, I’m three sheets to the wind and Robbie and I are laughing at something.
“Hey.” Dom greets, slapping me on the back. “Long time no see, kid. Good to see that you finally put on a little weight.”
Snickering, I turn around and he slaps my shoulder causing me to wince. He looks at me and frowns. “What the fuck happened?” I pull down the neck of my shirt and show him, too. He lets out a few choice cuss words and pulls out his phone.
“Hey doc, you busy?” He pauses and I try to follow his conversation, but I come up blank. “Yeah, I have a buddy who got shot. Needs a bullet removed, and for him to be stitched up.” He agrees to something and then pockets his phone.
“Where did you get this?” Sitting against the bar, I shrug.
“Fucking the wrong bitch.” I grab my beer and take a swig before telling him more. “Well she’s the right bitch for me, but she just happens to be practically married to some fucking dick head that her dad is forcing down her throat.”
“Shit.” He mutters. “She worth it?” He asks nodding to the gunshot wound.
“Like you wouldn’t fucking believe.” I pull my phone out of my pocket and show him the picture she forced me to take with her.
“Oh shit. You really hung up on her?” I nod and put my phone back into my pocket. “You know X is a fucking dick right?” I nod again and he just laughs. “He the one that told you not to touch her?”
“Yeah, he said if I touch her again, I’ll be done.” He lets out a low whistle.
“I heard he was a fucking dick, but didn’t think that it was that bad. He really trying to control his daughter like that?”
“Yeah. We’ve been sneaking around the last six months. Now I have to have one of my guys on her instead.” He starts to laugh and the door opens.
“If she’s worth it, don’t let her father keep you from her.” He pats my back and walks over to the older guy that just walked in the door. When they both walk over to me, I notice the bag in his hand.
“Hi, you must be the one that got shot.” The older man says.
“Yeah, that’s me.” I grin. The alcohol is making me feel no pain, and I’m actually glad for it right now.
They lead me into a room and the doc tells me to sit down. The pain of him digging the bullet out is enough to sober me up. Gritting my teeth, I try not to make too much fucking noise. I hear my phone beep and when I pull it out, I see Siena’s name on the screen.
Clicking the message open, I read it and frown.
Siena: Please don’t switch with the other guys. I only want you to protect me.
Me: Princess, there is nothing I can do. They will protect you just like I do.
Siena: You teach me self-defense and fuck me. Are they going to do that?
Me: If any of them touch you, I’ll kill them.
Siena: Jealous much?
Me: I just fucking took a bullet for you. I deserve a little sympathy.
Siena: I’ll suck your dick and finish what I started when you come back.
Looking up, I see the smirk on Dom’s face. “You’re fucking screwed. You’re going to get shot again.”
The doc pulls the bullet out of my arm and I hiss out a breath. “Don’t I fucking know it.”
Pulling up to the house a little after five, I see that my guys are still walking around the property, and I watch as Siena walks towards my SUV. She stops at my window and I roll it down. Her hair is in a messy looking thing on the top of her head. Her eyes are puffy, and she looks like she hasn’t slept since earlier.
“Meet me at our normal place in two hours.” I raise an eyebrow and put my arm on the window. She runs her finger along my skin, and bites her lip. She’s putting the bait out there and I’m going to fucking take it and run. “I promise to make it worth your while.”
She turns to walk away, but before she gets too far way, she winks and adds a little more sway to her hips as she walks back to Gully. He shrugs his shoulders and I wave him off. I can handle her.
I park and get out, making my way to my place. Once I’m inside, I change my clothes and then make my way back out. Getting into the SUV, I make my way towards the warehouse that I use for training, and I take some time pumping weights while I wait for her. My phone starts to ring, and I see Gully’s name. Hitting the answer button, I put the phone to my ear and ask him what’s up.
