“Who is this other group?” she asked, intrigued, but she just wanted to keep them talking.
“The Skulls. They are badass, and believe me, they know how to set fires under pretty much everything,” Leo said.
“I’ve never heard of them.” She shrugged. “You’re the only MC that I’ve known of.”
“Yeah, well, hopefully we can tempt you to stick to just us.” Paul winked at her and placed a hand on her knee.
Pleasure rushed through her at that single touch. She looked at his hand, and bit her lip.
It’s not like that.
Pushing any thoughts of something more intimate to the back of her mind, she looked at the two men. They could be friends. That was clearly what they wanted.
Someone clearing their throat had Paul pulling his hand away. Looking up, Skylar saw the other woman that they had both spoken of, Stacey.
“Well, well, well, you’re the flavor of the month right now. I should have known really. It’s fun while it lasts, but believe me, honey, you don’t want to be the laughingstock of the town with you just moving here and all,” Stacey said, hand on her hip.
The sound of a chair pushing out had Skylar watching as Cora approached. “You’ve got no right talking to the club like that. Get gone, Stacey.”
Skylar was further embarrassed as Teri came out, wiping her hands on the cloth.
“Run along, Stacey,” Paul said. “You’re here to cause trouble, and we’re not in the mood.”
“They are still not over me. If you think for a second that they are, you’re wrong. They both want me, and they are so upset that I didn’t want them.”
Cora grabbed Stacey’s arm, and gave it a tug. “Don’t for a second think you can test me.”
“I thought I was your friend,” said Stacey.
“Friends don’t try to get other friends fired, and they also don’t try to tear apart their marriage.” Cora shoved her away. “You’re no friend of mine.”
“Get out,” Teri said, raising her voice.
This was just getting even more mortifying as the minutes passed.
“Excuse me?”
“You heard me. I got rid of your ass before, and then you decided to come on back—well now I’ve changed my mind. I don’t want your skank ass, or your custom. Anyone else got a problem with me throwing the trash out, you can leave right along with her,” Teri said. “This is my diner. They are my family, and that is my sister. Try me, bitch, and let’s see how far you can really be pushed.” Teri stepped right up to Stacey.
Skylar had seen her sister fight before, and no one had ever bested her. Personally, she hated violence, and would do everything she could to avoid it.
Stacey stepped down, and walked away.
Wow, two dramas in one night. Smiling at Paul and Leo, she saw they looked worried, and she didn’t understand why.
Chapter Five
Dane couldn’t believe what he had fucking done.
Never in all of his life had he played dirty like that. The moment Lewis had called him outside, he had been ready to fucking kill the bastard. If he was being honest with himself, he had truly believed that it would be an easy fight as well.
Lewis was a damn rancher. There was no way he’d be able to win, but his punches were fucking hard, and Dane had been losing. In the back of his mind he had thought for a second that he could win back his wife.
You lost that when you fucked the first woman that wasn’t her.
Lighting up a cigarette, he stared up at the sky. He had completely fucked up, and it was all his fault.
His kids, his wife, the club he loved more than anything were different, and it was all his fault.
