“They’re here for the party,” I tell him as I walk by them and right inside. The music is almost at partying level. I walk up to the bar but don’t sit down.
“Another beer?” Lolita asks and I nod. She hands me one and looks at me like she’s waiting for me to talk.
“What?” I ask her. She raises her eyebrows at me.
“What’s got you so twisted up?” She’s being nosy, but that’s Lolita. I shake my head not wanting to talk to her about this. I walk away before she can try to pry more. Brothers have started filling the main room. Cut bunnies are here too. Some are dancing, some are looking for a brother to have some fun with.
“Raze!” Saint yells. I didn’t even know he was back. “Come play some pool!”
I make my way over to the pool tables. Saint, Tech, and Buzz are about to start a game.
“We playing doubles?” I ask, sitting at a pub table nearby.
“Yup, me and Tech, you and Saint,” Buzz says.
“Let’s do this,” I tell them. Tech racks the balls while Saint prepares to break. Trix, one of the cut bunnies finds her way over to us. She’s pretty but she’s like a Barbie doll. I’m not sure if anything about her is real. She’s been trying to get me to sleep with her for going on a year now. I’m just not interested though.
“Raze,” she purrs out and it sounds like nails on a chalkboard. Her voice isn’t even close to being as sweet sounding as Minx’s. “How you doin’, baby?”
“Not now, Trix.” It’s all I say to her. It’s my turn to shoot. I get up to the table and line up a shot. My mind isn’t 100% in the game. I can’t get that one set of grey eyes off my mind.
I shoot, the cue ball hits its intended target but it doesn’t go in. I sit back down and take a drink of my beer. Trix walks up to me again, stands between my legs and wraps her arms around the back of my neck. I don’t stop her, thinking maybe she can be a distraction for a little bit. The front door opens and I senseher.
I look up and see Minx walk in. She has on a Guns and Roses shirt that hangs off her shoulder just slightly, no bra strap showing. I’m sure she’s not wearing one. Her jeans hug her in all the right places. She looks sexy as sin.
Shade is on her right and her arm is hooked through Rivet’s, with her on her left. Shade says something close to her ear and I see her lift her face, smiling, to look at him. Only she looks to me instead and our eyes lock. She sees Trix hanging on me and her smile turns mischievous.
