“Nevada.”

His mouth moves to my ear. “That’s it, Mama. You keep recitin’ that name, pretty girl. Because when we meet again, you’re gonna be screamin’ it for all of New Orleans to hear. You got me?”

He’s dreaming, but I still nod. I need that fucking number. I’m so close…

I never thought I’d honestly walk into the Whiskey Straight and end up using two knives, but life has a funny way of working out.

And this Nevada guy is my only hope at finding my sister.

For that kind of information, I’ll do and say anything. I just don’t mean any of it…

NEVADA

At first, it’s like I’m seeing things. It’s not like I expected to see her at my club brother, Priests’ wedding, but I’d know her silhouette anywhere.

That ass. Those thighs. Those tits. The hair… She’s not even facing me and I know it’s her.

Estelle.

Star.

Mama.

The question isn’t even what she’s doing here — I know what she’s doing here — it’s the fact she really had the gall to crash a wedding. Priest and Bella’s wedding. My club brother and the MC’s spiritual advisor has waited a long time for his happily ever after.

But seeing my girl in a rage like this?

I think I’m in love.

I haven’t been able to stop thinking about her. I fell at first sight, that much I know for sure, and for me, that’s a goddamn miracle. I’ve never had that feeling where a girl is on my mind 24/7; it’s a first for me. Then again, a lot of things feel new. Like the way my heart thuds in my chest whenever I think about her pretty face. And now she’s here?

I don’t waste a second, moving as fast as I can across the restaurant floor. Since the MC owns the Whiskey Bar and Grill, the entire place is booked out just for the wedding.

A few weeks ago, she wanted answers, but Cash was on a much-needed vacation with Deanna and their baby, Caprice. I wasn’t about to go harassing him when he was in Arizona, visiting with Deanna’s parents. So I gave her my number instead. Suffice to say, she wasn’t happy about that and has mostly replied to my texts with middle finger emojis…

Me

Do you have any other emojis aside from the middle finger salute?

Mama

When I see you next, I’m gonna stick that knife in your balls

Me

I told you, that’s foreplay

Mama

Careful what you wish for, Pretty Boy

Me

I love it when you talk dirty. I’m sure you know where I live if you wanna discuss this in a more intimate setting

Mama
