“Who?”

“Snake,” she replied quickly. “He’s no longer a problem, though.”

I nodded, and looked over at the woman who appeared to be staring daggers at me. I’d never met her before so I wasn’t sure why she would be looking at me like that.

“Don’t worry about her,” Shona said, seeming to read my mind. “She’s come back here after being with the Nomads for too long.”

“Who is she?”

“Her name is Amanda, but she goes by Mana mostly. She had a thing for Ace for a long time, but he wasn’t interested.”

Suddenly, I realised why she’d hate me. I’d come in, an outsider, and taken the one she wanted. I couldn’t blame her, really. Cooper was everything you could want in a man, but he was mine.

I’d fight her to the death for him.

That thought surprised me. When had I become one of them? When had I immediately gone straight to violence rather than my peace loving self?

“Is she going to be a problem?”

“No,” Shona said. “She’s harmless, but just make sure you show her that you ain’t going anywhere.”

Amanda finally looked away, and started talking to some of the other bunnies. I talked with Shona some more until I saw afamiliar face come through the doors. Her look of relief told me I’d been a really shitty friend and not told her I was okay.

“Orla.”

“Bitch, you ever try and die on me again, I’ll fucking finish the job, you hear me?”

I laughed as she hugged me tight, my ribs pulling in pain a little, but I didn’t dare pull away first. Orla sat down next to me at the bar and motioned for Shona to get her a shot.

“Orla, it’s ten in the morning.”

“Are you judging me?” she hit me back, just as I saw the door to church open. The members piled out, Hawk winking at me as he moved past and out the door. Cooper sidled up to me.

“Hey,” he said, sounding like he was tired already. I hated that he was under pressure and it was because of me. Amanda’s eyes were on us as he moved beside me, his hand on my waist. I looked behind him to see her looking over at us with a keen eye to see what happened.

I moved my hand up to slide back into his hair and pulled his face down to mine. His lips found mine and I opened my mouth and kissed him passionately right here in the middle of the clubhouse. His arms wound around me, holding me tight, telling me just how much he wanted me. Just like I did him.

He moaned into my mouth as he deepened the kiss, sweeping me off my feet, well he would have had I been on my feet. Heat blossomed between us, a promise of what this could lead to if I didn’t pull back. My eyes immediately went behind him to see Amanda storming past us.

Orla let out a holler of approval, saying, “Awww, little baby lost her binky,” when Amanda stormed out of the clubhouse with a huff.

Cooper watched the interaction, a slow smile making its way onto his handsome face. “That’s my girl.”

I loved it when he said that to me, realizing I was fast developing a praise kink with him.

“She needed to know who you belonged to,” I said with a smirk.

Shona and Orla were both watching us as if we were the last episode of their favourite TV show. Cooper wiped his hand over his head, and sighed. “I wish I could take you back home and have you tied to my bed right now.”

Heat whipped through me so fast I felt as if I would pass out. Cooper, tying me to his bed, as he worshipped my body? Goddamn. The thought alone had my pussy weeping with joy.

“So why don’t you?” I whispered in his ear, biting his earlobe.

He let out a low groan, his hands going to the sides of my face, holding me there as he weighed his options right now.

“I gotta go with the boys,” he said. “Stay with Shona and Orla, though. I’ll be back later, and I promise I’ll be delivering for you tonight.”

He kissed me on the lips quickly before I could pull him back into a deep and languorous kiss. He stepped out of the clubhouse, ordering the girls to watch over me and not let me out of their sight.
