“Hi, Daddy,” Ginger says sweetly. While I just stand there and gawk at him. He’s seriously good looking. My mouth waters just looking him up and down. I can’t believe he’s her dad.

“The clubhouse is looking good. I was just telling Shy how much I like the new rooms. It’s coming along nicely,” he praises.

“Thanks. Shy wanted to make it kind of like how we have it back home but obviously being here we don’t have all the space like you do. We’re still figuring it out, but so far it’s turning out really nice.” She looks around admiring the clubhouse.

I look around at the décor and notice all the newly painted walls. I was so wasted the other night and in my own head stressed out about Brody I didn’t take in all my surroundings. Today we were working getting things ready in the kitchen that I didn’t really stop to admire everything.

Two men walk up behind him, and I swear my mouth drops open.

You have got to be fucking kidding me…

These men are easily six feet if not more and dangerously gorgeous. Damn, my aunt needs to come hang out around here, because these older men are, good God almighty, fine as fuck. I think I’ve been hanging out at the wrong bars in SoCal. Seriously, I thought LA was where all the beautiful people moved to, but since I’ve been here, there are mass amounts of hot men, like glorious bad boys, who make your panties wet.

I fan myself trying to keep my face from turning red. I lean back against the bar for support. All the ladies must know them because they all say hello getting a nod in reply. One of them grabs Sissy around the waist pulling her to his side saying something into her ear, making her flush pink.

The other man moves his eyes over me, checking me out before nodding my direction. “Who’s the cute shorty?” I flush instantly.

“She’s my best friend from SoCal. Her name’s Ruby,” Izzy explains.

I can’t speak, so I just wave with a corny smile.

“We call her Firecracker though,” Mac barks from behind the guys.

I stand up straighter pushing my shoulders back. “You can call me by my name Ruby though.” Extending my hand to the big guy with a smile.

“Shorty, if they’re calling you Firecracker, I’m sure it’s for a good reason, then that’s what we’ll be calling you.” He extends his hand engulfing my tiny one within his. “My name’s Cash.”

I look to his cut where I see his patch says Vice President. Mac hugs the ladies from the other chapter saying his hellos before standing in front of me.

“Hello, Firecracker. You’re looking fine as hell tonight.” Mac leans down to hug me like he did all the other girls and I hug him back.

“Hey, Mac.” I chuckle into his ear.

“Mac, you best get your hands off my girl before I remove them myself,” Quick yells from down the bar.

Mac squeezes me harder lifting me off the ground making me laugh. “Put me down, Mac.”

He chuckles. “I love getting under his skin,” he says, kissing my cheek.

Quick walks up, grabbing me around the waist, pulling me away from Mac. I look around, and everyone is laughing watching these two fools fight over me.

Ginger’s dad speaks up first, “Well, I can see these two fools haven’t changed, still fighting over pussy.” He chuckles.

“Well we have been sharing lately,” Mac replies to Ginger’s dad over his shoulder but not taking his eyes off Quick.

I’m sandwiched between the two men, and I can’t see Quick’s face to know if they’re fucking around or being serious.

“Not this one, we don’t,” Quick replies, dead serious.

Okay, I need to stop this bullshit, so I put my hands on Mac’s chest, pushing him back so I can move away from Quick. “For fuck’s sake. I’m no one’s bitch, so you both need to calm the fuck down.”

“Fuckin’ Firecracker, alright,” Cash bellows from behind Mac.

Izzy steps up next to me. “Alright fellas, leave my girl alone.”

Mac turns around with a shrug and laughs. Everyone begins chatting amongst themselves with more men showing up to our group. Shy, Gus, and Dallas have joined our little group. Quick still hasn’t said a word but has moved to a bar stool behind me. Izzy was swept away when Gus walked up. I just stand there watching everyone laugh and talk shit with each other.

Finishing my vodka tonic, I jingle the ice around using the straw to suck every last drop. I don’t want to turn around and face Quick just yet.
