He wanted to take Hayden's earlier action as a positive sign but Vic couldn't get his hopes up.
"Well, damn," Joel said, coming over to them, shoving his phone back into his pocket. "Looks like tonight is going to be even busier than we thought."
Everyone gave him a questioning look.
"As we speak, Katherine Decker and all of her sisters, cousins, and friends will be arriving in full force for her bachelorette party."
Both Vic and Hayden groaned in unison.
Sapphire smiled questioningly. "Are they that bad?"
Vic nodded, recalling the nightmare of the last one they endured. "Yes, they are. Imagine cheap, hot pink boas shedding glittery feathers all over the place and a pack of horny drunk women practically ripping the clothes off equally drunk dudes more than happy to be used as entertainment for the night."
"And don't forget the dicks," Hayden added with a sober sigh. Vic could see the horrific memories still etched in the man's eyes.
"Dicks?" Sapphire squinted, looking between the three of them for answers.
Joel laughed and nodded. "Oh yeah, let's not forget the flagrant use of fake dicks everywhere. Last time Leona Lawsey came in with her friends decked out with all sorts of dick paraphernalia. Giant jugs shaped like dicks that she wanted us to fill with margaritas all night."
"Headbands with little dicks on springs bouncing around their heads," Vic added.
"Don’t forget the dick cake they hauled in. I swear it was four feet long and had icing at the end that looked like jizz," Hayden recalled, making a face at the memory.
Sapphire tilted her head back and laughed. "Oh wow, that sounds amazing."
"Yeah, well it gets very not amazing when the booze kicks in and they all turn from loud rowdy women to fucking predators. Last time Arlene tried to blow Joel in the middle of the bar while the others egged her on," Hayden pointed out dryly.
The laughter in Sapphire's eyes disappeared immediately and both Hayden and Joel grinned.
"Aw, don't worry baby," Joel assured her, wrapping his arms around her stiff shoulders. "I won’t let any other woman blow me but you."
Both Hayden and Sapphire hit him for that and Joel let out a pained-filled grunt.
"No one should be touching any of you tonight," she commanded.
Vic's lungs seemed to freeze. Both he and Hayden did a double take at her.
Joel's eyes filled with mischief. "Don't worry, we'll just shove all the women Vic's way."
Vic scowled at Joel. He sure as hell didn't want Sapphire thinking that.
"No," Sapphire interrupted, her tone deadly serious.
Everyone stilled.
"What do you mean, no?" Hayden stepped closer to her.
Sapphire gave him a challenging look. "Exactly what it sounds like. I don't wantanyof you letting yourself get groped by any of those women, do you understand me?"
All of a sudden Vic knew exactly how Krrsantan felt when Sapphire gave him a command. Only too happy, he nodded his head in agreement with her order.
Hayden opened his mouth to argue, but she spoke again.
"If one of you gets groped then there is nothing to stop all of you from getting manhandled by those drunk idiots. All the women in this damn town want all three of you anyway, and I know what they whisper about me behind my back. They think I have all three of you now, and one of the silly idiots will try her luck in getting to one of you tonight. Well, I'm not having it." Sapphire crossed her arms. "If they think I have all three Heathens then they better fucking respect it. Because I would really hate to have to walk into someone's house tomorrow and drag someone out by their hair if I hear one of you has been molested."
"My God, you sound like a little gangster," Joel gasped, clutching a string of imaginary pearls at his neck. He looked both shocked and proud. "I think my nipples are hard. Come on baby, we got about," Joel paused looking at his watch, "a little over ten minutes. Let's go cover that couch in the office with more semen."
The angry look on her face dissipated as Sapphire burst out laughing.
