Passing the Torch (Devil's Knights 2nd Generation 1)

“How did comforting the girls go last night?” Frost asked.

They both stumbled into church and sat down in their chairs.

“You wouldn’t even believe it if I told you.” Zag shook his head. “I don’t know how it happened, but I somehow ended up in the backroom with Tanya, Shelly, and Bey.”

Zig snickered. “I would have had Bey if you hadn't grabbed her before she made it to the bathroom.”

I slammed down the gavel and stood. “You assholes have fun telling fish stories and while you’re at it, have Frost fill you in on church.”

Frost nodded to me.

I had a couple of phone calls to make and didn’t want to be sucked into hearing about Zig and Zag’s escapades. There was a definite reason why they had gotten their road names. The way they zigged and zagged through women was sometimes more than a guy needed to hear about.

The guys could have a little fun right now, but come tonight, we were going to get down to business and try to figure out who the hell had killed Bunny.

Reva

“Hair of the Dog. Reva speaking.”

“Sunshine.”

A thrill coursed through me at the sound of Hero’s voice. “I wondered how you were going to call me when you didn’t have my phone number.” After I had gotten out of the fog of Hero’s kiss, I realized he couldn’t call me later since he didn’t have my cell number. I hadn’t thought he would call the shop.

“I meant to get your number this morning before I left but…”

“Yeah, same,” I laughed. It was nice to know I wasn’t the only one who had been wowed by our kiss this morning.

Hero’s low chuckle rumbled through the phone.

It was half past four, and I was just finishing up the last dog for the day. One of my clients had to reschedule at the last minute so I was actually going to finish early today.

“You got plans tonight?” he asked.

I ran my fingers through my hair and tried not to squeal like a schoolgirl. “Um, no, not really.”

“I was thinking of coming over tonight but some stuff came up with the club.”

My heart sank. “Oh, I get it. I know how it goes.” I didn’t really, but it sounded good.

“You wanna come with me?”

“Uh, with you?” I replied slowly. I was allowed to be there with club thingies?

Hero hummed. “Well, I don’t see why not. Pretty sure they let anyone in as long as you pay your cover.”

Now he really had my interest piqued. “Cover?”

“Well, if you’re with me, you won’t have to pay a cover.”

What in the world was he talking about?

“You ever been to Sultry Knights, Sunshine?”
