“Wow,” Evil muttered, his eyes wide.

“I’m aware the club has secrets I can’t and don’t need to know. All you have to say is, club shit, baby, and I’ll be fine. Don’t liebecause lies grow and then implode and ruin relationships. If you care, then be honest,” Lindy continued before picking up the empties.

“And by the way. There’s a new handbag I want, it’s pretty expensive. As you’re doing club shit, I don’t suppose you’d mind me shopping on your dime,” Lindy finished sweetly. She winked at us and walked her pert ass out.

I looked at my brothers as they gazed back.

“Lindy ain’t got a cut on her back,” Fists said finally.

“Don’t even go there!” I snapped.

“No, Lindy ain’t claimed yet!” Heat muttered, looking at the doorway Lindy had disappeared through.

“Fuck off!” I howled as they continued to ignore me.

“No cut means she’s free game,” Crusher drawled and grinned evilly.

“May the best man win,” Fists announced.

“There’re some shoes and a really expensive scarf I’ve seen, too!” Lindy called out, amused.

“Take my card!” my brothers yelled together.

Lindy’s laugh was a beautiful thing.

I entered the Hideaway and stared at the asshole hanging from a meat hook on the ceiling. Higgins looked a mess, and it was clear he’d not had a lot of sleep, judging by the bags under his eyes. Higgins glared at me in pure hate.

“Still alive, fuckwit?” I inquired as my brothers filed in.

“Let me go,” Higgins rasped.

“Get him a drink,” I said to Pipes.

Pipes approached, opened a bottle of water, and allowed Higgins to drink from it.

“You stink, man. Did you piss yourself?” I asked as if we were having a casual conversation.

“I’ve been hanging here for hours. Nobody let me use the toilet. So, yeah, I pissed myself,” Higgins snarled.

“Why did you do it?”

Higgins looked at me. “Do what?”

“Cheat on Lindy. Dude, she’s the full package. You had that and cheated? I don’t get it,” I said.

“Because it was easy. All that pussy out there, they’re begging for it. And Lindy loved being a homebody and letting someone look after her. What Lindy didn’t know didn’t hurt her,” Higgins replied.

“But you did when she found out.”

“Come on, dude, you think Lindy was ignorant of it?” Higgins sneered. “The bitch knew but turned a blind eye because she had me and everything she wanted. Lindy was engaged to the one guy every man wishes to be and every woman desires for herself. But Lindy had my ring on her finger and not them.”

In disbelief, I shook my head. “And you think you’re worth all that?”

“Yeah, I am.”

“Holy crap,” I murmured. “Why beat the shit out of her?”
