Page 49 of Viper

“I’m not having a quickie with you while he’s down here,” Eden informs me firmly as she follows me up the steps to my room.

“I’m not bringing you up here for that,” I tell her drily. Then look over my shoulder at her and wink. “ I’m not saying that wouldn’t be fun or turn it down if you change your mind.” She glares at me, and then stalks inside when I open it for her to walk inside. But we both stop dead, when I find two of the club girls on my bed, going at it hot and heavy, though they stop quickly when they hear us come in. It’s Sapphire and Rubi—and yes, I know how fucking cliche that sounds—and they completely pass over Eden and straight at me with a seductive look.

“We were just warming up for you, Viper,” Sapphire purrs, turning so that she can flash me and show me how wet she is.

“Yes, come and join us,” Rubi agrees, reaching out to cup Sapphire’s large fake tit and pinch the nipple between her fingers, making the other woman moan like a porn star.

Jesus Christ.

“How the fuck did you two get into my room?” I bark, furious. This is the last thing I need. I look over at Eden, who’s looking at the woman with an expression on her face that I can’t quite figure out. Shit.

“It was unlocked,” Rubi purrs. “Come on, baby, come and make us feel so good.”

Before I can reply with no way in hell, Eden says calmly, “You have five seconds to get your skank asses out of my man’s bed, before I drag you out. Don’t even fucking try to test me on this, because I will not do it kindly. And I’ll make it hurt extra hard because there are children downstairs and the chance they could have walked in on you is pissing me off more than finding you here.”

“Who the fuck are you?” Sapphire demands, eyes lasering in on Eden finally. “And Viper doesn’t belong to anyone, bitch.”

“You’re wrong,” Eden snaps. “You’re down to two seconds.”

“Fuck you,” Rubi says. Then looks at me. “Viper, are you going to let her talk to us like that? Especially since you know we’ll please you better than she ever could. I’ll suck your dick and Sapphi can suck your balls…Ow, fuck!” she screeches as Eden steps forward, grabs her by the hair, and yanks her out of the bed and onto the floor. I’m moving to try and grab Sapphire when she launches at Eden, but Eden surprises me when she merely punches her in the boob, making her cry out in pain, and then lands a hard backhand to her face, making her fall.

“I warned you,” Eden says calmly. “You didn’t listen. Now, get your clothes on and get the fuck out.”

“You’re not allowed on the grounds this time of day,” I add with a hard, icy edge to my voice. The two women give each other worried looks. Yeah, they know they’ve fucked up. “I don’t know how you got in here, but I know it was locked because I locked it myself earlier.”

“We—”

“Shut up, bitch,” Sapphire hisses at Rubi, who quickly shuts her mouth.

Eden steps away and looks around the room until she spots their clothes. She marches over, and starts rooting through them. When the girls start to protest, I silence them with a hard look. Eden finally pulls out a key and shows it to me. It looks like a master key. One these two shouldn’t fucking have. “Where the fuck did you get this?” I snarl, taking the key.

“We found it,” Rubi hedges. “Look, we’re sorry, Viper. We’ll get dressed and get out of here and we can forget all about it.”

“You’re not going anywhere until you answer my question. Where did you get this?” I have a sinking feeling I already know the answer.

“We…ah, well, I…uh…I found it,” Sapphire stammers out. “And I know I should have told you but?—”

“For fucks sake, answer his fucking question,” Eden barks angrily at her. “I know you probably haven’t gotten all the blood back in your brain yet, but surely you can answer a simple question.”

Sapphire glares at her. “Who the fuck are you to talk to me that way?” Sapphire demands.

“I’m the one who’s going to slap you again in a second,” Eden warns her. “And this time, I’ll make sure to leave a damn mark.”

Sapphire looks like she wants to argue again, but she must see the look on my face and realize how quickly I am losing my patience, so she answers, “I found it in Dagger’s old room when we were cleaning it. He had it hidden under a loose plank in the floor.”

“And when did you find this?” I ask her carefully, trying to recall if we found that hidey hole already.

“Last week,” she admits.

Fuck. I turn and head out of the room, knowing the two of them are going to be staying put with Eden there, and I shout for Bullet. Bullet and Sniper both come up, concerned, and when they see the two naked club girls, their brows go up in confusion. “Tell them,” I order Sapphire. “And if you leave anything out, I’ll make sure you’re not welcome back here, and I’ll sic my woman on you again.” Which is another thing I’ll need to handle in a second.

Sapphire and Rubi must realize how serious this is, because they quickly grab their clothes from at Eden’s feet and put them on as Sapphire is talking. “I went in to do another clean of Dagger’s room like I was supposed to and when I was in there, I moved the bed and I happened to catch my heel in one of the boards near the wall. When I finally managed to yank it out, it pulled up the plank, and I saw something in it, so I pulled it up further and found two keys. I tried them both, but only one works and I realized it was a key for all the doors. Bullet, I’m sorry, I know I should have told you about it but?—”

“Shut up,” Bullet orders, tone glacial. “You breaking into rooms is one thing, but you’re here under our protection and at our discretion, and instead of respecting that, you’ve stolen something. And disrespected a brother’s woman by letting yourself into his room without his permission, and roped in another girl with you. Get your ass moving and show us where you found it, and give me the other key. Now. Then I’ll decide what I’m going to do with you.”

Sapphire pales, but she nods. Both women follow Bullet and Sniper out of the room. I want to go with them to see what the hell they found, but I can’t. Not yet. I turn to look at Eden, and her face is a mixture of anger, curiosity, and worry. “Go with them,” she tells me. “I know you need to. We’ll talk after I calm down, but the first thing I’m doing is changing these fucking sheets. I’m not going to sit here and stare at them.”

“Eden…”
