No. No. Nope.

Not gonna go there.

I’m not going down that rabbit hole. Whatever game he’s playing, he can play by himself. I’m not getting sucked into the Reaper show. I can’t even stand him. He’s so . . .

Rude. Grouchy. Dickish.

The words are right there, blazing in my memory. Almost every encounter we’ve had has been fueled with hate and malice, but now, my sex-deprived brain is starting to lose it. Because right along withthosewords are a few new ones.

Sexy. Muscular. Rugged. Fuckable.

Goddamn it.

I need to get laid and not by him. It’s been so long since I last rolled in the sheets. That’s got to be why I’m panting at the thought of Reaper pinning me beneath him and fucking me stupid. That’s the only reason. If I'd had some good dick recently, those thoughts would never cross my mind.

Yeah, that’s got to be it. I shake my head as I pull another beer from the fridge. Leaning against a wall, I take a long sip, listening absently to the conversation at the table.

“I haven’t seen her in days,” one of the sweetbutts says.

“Me neither. Do you think she’s okay,” another replies.

“It’s not like she can come here anymore,” a third pipes up. “She got kicked. Maybe she found a new club to play with.”

The first girl bites her lip as she plays with the end of her braid. “Yeah, you’re probably right. Maybe Misty found a new guy to obsess over.”

At the sound of Misty’s name, I roll my eyes.Good riddance.That bitch was trouble. If I never have to see her face again the rest of my life it will be a gift from the universe.

I push away from the wall to wander through the house. I’m still restless, and there’s no way I’m going back to my spot in the living room. Not while Reaper is still there with his brunette bimbo. I sip my beer as I walk down the hall. I stop when I spot two figures pressed against the bathroom door.

No one else is around to witness Lace and Stitch twine around each other in a mess of lips, teeth, and limbs. The sounds coming from them send a wave of arousal through me. I can’t look away as they fumble for the doorknob. When they find it, they stumble backward into the bathroom, still glued together as one. Their moment of passion isn’t helping my situation at all.

Fuck, I need to get out of here.

I scramble toward the front door, ditching my beer on a table along the way. As I reach the stairs, I run into Nix and Raptor, who both look flushed and disheveled. It doesn’t take more than one look to know what those two were up to.Jesus, everyone’s getting laid but me.

My sister’s face breaks into a guilty smile when she sees me. “Raven. Hi, we were—uh—we were—” she stumbles over her words as Raptor pulls her close, wearing a purely male grin.

Holding up my hands, I stop her. I don’t need any more reminders that I’m one of the few wretches in this place who’s not getting dick tonight. “It’s fine, Nix. No need to explain.”

When her cheeks burn as bright as her hair, I scramble over my half-cocked plan of escape. “I was gonna run to the house real quick and grab a few things. You need anything while I’m there?”

Nix shakes her head, telling me she doesn’t need anything, but Raptor’s eyes narrow as he looks around. “Who’s going with you?” he asks, punching a hole right through my plan.

My mouth works faster than my brain as a strangled “Huh?” escapes my lips.

He eyes me suspiciously as he asks again, “Who’s going with you?”

“Uh—I, um—” I curse myself for not lying better.

Raptor’s stare is burning a hole right through me when a deep voice answers from behind me, “I am.”

My body jolts as I spin around to find the owner of that voice towering over me. Reaper is wearing his typical scowl laced with boredom as he steps closer to us.

Raptor’s face is as shocked as I am as he looks at his MC brother. “Just you?”

Reaper shrugs. “It won’t take long. Besides, everyone else is too drunk or busy getting their dick wet to drag along.”

I wait for Raptor to argue, to say we need to take someone else, but he doesn’t. After a few moments of silence, he nods. “Fine, but be quick. If Viper hears you two left without backup, he’ll have my ass.”
