Page 63 of Lulu

Doc kissed me back, and he was a good kisser, but I only felt a mild spike of pleasure from it. I was too attuned to the infuriating man sitting across from us and hoping that his eyes caught fire. Catcalls and whistles of encouragement could soon be heard from the rowdy bikers who were around us. At some time I heard the sound of a chair scraping across the floor.

Without warning, I felt a hand tangle in my hair and my neck snapped back, breaking the kiss between me and Doc with brutal force. I gasped. My eyes snapped open to see Brody standing above me, his eyes smoldering like volcanic glass as he glared down at me. I’d never seen him so livid. It was frightening.

But it was also exciting.

“You’ve made your fucking point,” he snarled down into my face.

Then, without another word, he snatched me off Doc’s lap, threw me over his shoulder, and stormed from the room.

Chapter 25

Brody

Goddammit!Lulu was going to some fucking party? Kind of ironic considering I was sitting in the Desert Rebels’ clubhouse and there was a party going on here, too. I didn’t have any right being angry but I was. And it wasn’t just the thought of her with someone else that had me fuming.

I slammed my phone down on the table and threw back the whiskey that was waiting for me, getting raised eyebrows from Doc. I was fucking pissed! Lulu didn’t seem to be taking this threat serious enough, and I was going to rectify that as soon as I could. She wouldn’t like it, but that was too fucking bad. If I had to tie her to my bed to keep her ass safe I would. In fact, I liked the sound of that idea. She seemed to like throwing it in my face that we weren’t exclusive, but if I kept her locked in my room I could end my fucking dry spell and have her at my mercy all the time.

I was pretty damned certain this Bruce Willis asshole was the killer who was picking us off one by one. As soon as I’d read Lulu’s text, I’d phoned Sanford. He’d never heard of the man either. No one else had been targeted yet, and the fact that someone was claiming to be my friend and looking for me told me why. Sanford agreed. It appeared that I was next on the hit list, and since the man had contacted Lulu, that put her in danger, especially if the bastard decided he needed her as leverage to draw me out.

LD had promised to keep protection on her for as long as it took, but it wasn’t enough. Christ, the woman was on a date! Well, I’d let her have tonight, but as soon as the sun came up I was heading to her house. I didn’t trust a prospect to do what had to be done to protect her. Lulu knew these men, and she knew how to manipulate them. On second thought, there was no point in waiting another night. I would get in touch with the prospect on her and ask him where she was. I wouldn’t wait until morning to get her under me again.

I grabbed my phone.

“Hey, baby.” Cherry planted her ass on my lap and grabbed the phone, setting it back on the table. “You think I might get lucky tonight?”

I snorted. She’d been after my dick since I’d arrived at the clubhouse, and it looked like she’d amped up her coy, flirtatious moves to a more brazen attack. She was wearing a see-through thong, and nothing else. I looked down at her tits and large areolas, and then took in her shaved cunt. There was no denying that she had a nice body, but I couldn’t seem to get interested. “There’s plenty of men around. You might.” I grinned, trying to let her down easy.

She ran her hand over my chest and leaned in against my ear. “I could do you right here if you want.”

No doubt. One of the first things she’d done when I’d met her was give me a blowjob in one of the booths. I should have been all over her invitation. So why wasn’t I? I looked across the table at Doc and stiffened. Lulu was sitting on his lap, and it was the last fucking thing I’d expected to see. Jesus, I’d just gotten off the phone with her. How had I missed her coming into the club? Our eyes fastened on each other, and for a split second I saw the hurt flicker in hers before she quickly masked her expression with indifference.

She cupped Doc’s cheek and turned his face toward hers. “No lap dance, honey. But I will give you a birthday kiss.”

What the fuck?She covered his mouth and kissed him passionately, as if they were fucking lovers and this was a prelude to sex. I felt my blood begin to boil as the men around us began to whistle and urge them on. As far as I was concerned the kiss should have been over a long fucking time ago. I liked Doc, but he was about to get a happy birthday punch in the mouth. I nudged Cherry off my lap, ignoring her huff of annoyance.

I grabbed my phone and jammed it in my pocket as I got up. As much as I wanted to go after Doc, it was Lulu who was going to feel my wrath. I didn’t question why I felt that way. After all, she was free to kiss whoever she wanted, but seeing her lips on another man’s mouth brought the greedy, jealous beast out in me. That mouth was mine!

She just didn’t know it yet.

I grasped Lulu by her hair and pulled her head back until her neck was stretched taut. She let out a small cry, either from pain or surprise, but I didn’t give a fuck. I was standing behind and above her. Her eyes flew opened and landed on mine. I could see the slight fear glittering in their depths, but there was also excitement, and that fucking intrigued me.

“You’ve made your fucking point,” I snarled down into her face.

I didn’t give her a chance to respond. I exchanged a look with Doc. Words weren’t necessary. The humor on his face told me that he wouldn’t intervene. That was a smart move on his part, because I wasn’t in the mood. While Lulu was still speechless, I pulled her off his lap, threw her over my shoulder, and headed for my room.

“What about me?” I heard Cherry call out behind me in a pissed off voice.

“Yes, what about her?” Lulu wanted to know.

“Jealous, baby?”

She emitted a huff of disbelief. “Hardly! And put me down!”

“I’ll put you down when I’m damned good and ready,” I growled back. “You and I need to get some things straight.”

“I thought we were straight!”

Did she really want me to spell it out for her? “New rules!” I huffed.
