“Especially with no ink,” Mara said. “Can’t imagine Priest inking up a woman.”

“What does that mean?” Eden asked.

“The short version?” Mara asked, leaning toward Eden. “No ink means you’re free game for anyone. Any one of these bikers can walk up to you and make their move.”

“Can I saynoto them?” Eden whispered.

“Sure,” Mara said. “You really think some of these guys will listen or care?”

Eden felt chills move up her spine.

She had flashbacks to Cody grabbing her and wanting to hurt her in many ways. She couldn’t help but imagine what could have happened if Priest hadn’t busted in and killed Cody.

Eden glanced at Maggie, hoping things being said were just another joke. They weren’t. Eden could tell by the look on Maggie’s face. She also could tell that Maggie was the type ofbiker bar girlthat had been passed around more than once.

“I think I need more of that whiskey,” Eden said. “Not the apple juice kind either.”

“Drink up for me,” Mara said.

As Maggie turned away to go get more whiskey, there was a loud shouting match happening at the clubhouse door. When Eden heard the phrase‘my husband’being shouted, she felt every nerve in her body tense up and pinch.

“Oh, fuck,” Mara said. “I heard about this one.Angelica. Priest’s wife. How are you going to deal with this?”

Eden stood up and turned. There was Angelica, clawing at the faces of Virus and Stu. She was vicious but the two bikers looked too afraid to touch her. That made Eden wonder if the woman actually mattered around here.

Another door opened and out came Priest, followed by the rest of the guys. As soon as Priest saw his wife, he looked at Eden. His wife looked at Eden too.

“You’re still fucking this nurse trash?” Angelica asked.

Eden jumped toward Angelica, to the delight of everyone watching. They cheered. Nothing quite like two women wanting to tear each other apart. Always the chance and hope that a shirt gets torn off, along with a bra.

Priest got between the woman he married and the woman he was fucking.

“Who let her in here?” Priest bellowed.

“Sorry, Priest,” Virus said. “We didn’t know…”

“I think she scratched my cornea,” Stu said.

“Go see a fucking doctor then,” Priest spat. He then grabbed Angelica by the throat. “Go to my fucking room right now.”

He spat in his wife’s face and threw her across the clubhouse. Of all things to feel at that moment, Eden felt a little bit of jealousy. She wanted to be on the other end of Priest’s intense lustful desires.

“You stay here,” Priest yelled at Eden.

“Fuck you, I’m not doing that,” Eden yelled back. “Going to fuck your wife, are you? I don’t play that game!”

Priest’s hand shot out and grabbed Eden’s throat. Her knees instantly gave out and she thought she was going to piss herself.

Priest lowered his nose toward hers. “Don’t ever talk like that to me again, doll.Ever.”

Eden’s eyes filled with tears and she stared into his eyes. He released his hold and walked away.

“Holy hell, girlfriend,” Mara said as she stood up. “I’ve never seen someone stand up to Priest and not get destroyed. May not seem like it, but you have a hold on him.”

“I second that,” Maggie said.

“I third it,” Cyrus said as he walked by Eden.
