Wait until Ollie sends a picture of his dick

Vinnie slowly pulled around the Devil’s Garrote—a bar Ollie and Mason had banned him from after one tiny incident involving a fight—and followed a narrow road that went farther back, past where he assumed employees parked, and toward a large square-shaped building.

The parking lot was surprisingly full, considering it was only late afternoon. He didn’t see many motorcycles, probably because of the weather, but there were cars and trucks of every shape and model parked all around the large lot.

As he neared a tall chain-link fence that served as a gate, it slid open, even though he didn’t see anyone, but two oncoming headlights let him know someone was leaving. He pulled as close as he could to the edge to allow the large truck to move past him, but it slowed, the driver’s window rolling down.

Biting back a sigh, he lowered his own and peered up at the scowling face looking down at him.

“This is a private club. Bar’s back behind you.”

Vinnie put on his best “I’m here to save your life” smile he’d developed over years of working in healthcare. “I know! I’m a friend of Ollie’s.”

The guy’s frown immediately eased, and he nodded. “You’re here to help set up for the party?”

He had no idea what party the guy was talking to, but he quickly nodded, turning up the wattage on his smile. “Yup. He called in reinforcements.”
