Twice the Dirty (Dirty Fuckers MC 4)

“You really do enjoy watching two men fighting.”

“It’s nothing personal, but, I don’t know. Dane deserves it.” Teri jumped up, trying to see, and then she didn’t need to worry as both Lewis and Dane stood.

What Skylar saw in Dane’s hand, which glinted in the light, was in fact a knife.

“Holy shit, the cheating fucker. He’s got a knife.”

Before Teri could call out a warning, James was there. Dane went to stab Lewis, but James entered the fight and caught Dane’s arm, holding it away from Lewis.

Skylar gasped. “Oh, my God. Has he been hurt?”

Teri rushed out of the kitchen and pushed her way toward the center of the circle. Skylar followed her, needing to know that everyone was fine.

James had the knife. “Everyone back inside now. The fun is over.”

When no one moved, James yelled the order, and they all started moving. Only a couple of the Dirty Fuckers remained. Leo and Paul moved toward Skylar. They stood behind her, and she loved having them both close. They were two kind men.

“James, what the fuck?” Dane asked.

“Lewis, I cannot apologize enough. Please, go on inside, and take care of Lucy and the kids.”

Biting her lip, Skylar watched as James then turned to Dane.

“You are a disgrace to the name of our club.” James held up the knife, and shook his head. “How fucking dare you?”

“He’s after my woman!”

James shook his head. “You lost her, Dane. You went and screwed your way across the fucking planet, leaving her to fend for herself. The fact you’re even allowed near her is a fucking miracle. I suggest you get out of my fucking sight, and you do it now before I end you in this parking lot, and I will, Dane. I will.”

Skylar tensed up, and Leo and Paul led her back into the diner.

Taking their seats, she watched as the entire diner was tense.

“You okay?” Paul asked.

“Yeah, I’m fine. Is that what normally happens?” Skylar asked. Teri had told her that she was to sit her ass down, enjoy her meal, and that they would talk about her working. Until then, Teri wouldn’t hire her, if she couldn’t even follow simple instructions. Her sister was a hard ass at times.

“No, it’s not always like that. Dane’s special,” Leo said.

“There’s a history there that is going to take more than one dinner to understand. Let’s not talk about him anymore,” Paul said. He took a sip of his water. “So, you’re hoping to stay in Greater Falls.”

“I am. I’m really looking forward to it. Do you like it here?” she asked, curious about the two men. She found herself looking between them. Leo and Paul both leaned on the table, smiling at her, and she leaned back in her chair so she was able to look at them.

“We do now,” Leo said. “At first, we didn’t know if we’d be able to stick it out, did we?”

“Nope. We’ve not been known for sticking to one place for a long time.”

“What about Ned Walker?” Leo said. “He has to be the longest we’ve stayed in the same place.”

“What’s Ned Walker?” Skylar asked.

“Only the biggest, deadliest motherfucker around,” Paul said. “He commands the underground fighting ring in Las Vegas. No one knows him, and yet everyone who is anyone does. He’s got a reputation, but he’s a fair man. He’s also old as fucking sin.”

Leo pressed a finger to his mouth. “Sh, he doesn’t like anyone speaking shit about him.”

She giggled. “He sounds … interesting.”

“He’s a ladies’ man, or at least he was the last time we saw him a few years back. He’s connected to another MC through marriage though, and you do not want to mess with them,” Paul said. “They’re a good bunch though. They just seem to attract drama like a soap opera, and that is not our scene.”
