Discovering Me
Page 16

For watching a man that has been out of it for the longest time, this behavior confuses the shit out of me.
“You didn’t give me much choice,” she teases and lets go of her embrace. “This is Ripley.”
Ripley stands and sticks out her hand. Fuck with the manners of these women this week. Pyro ignores her hand and instead, jerks her into his body. “Nice to meet ya, pretty lady.”
Braxxon and I look at one another with the most fucked up faces. I mouth what the fuck, and he does, too.
When Pyro lets her go, he ignores us, grabs their bags from Phish, and leads them to the slam room.
“Was it me or did he already know where she’d be sleepin’,” I ask my brother.
“I don’t even know my own VP anymore,” he groans and rubs his face. “I’m gonna go check on my wife and Dizzy to make sure they didn’t fuckin’ kill one another.”
Damn, I forgot all about them, too.
“Frank is stoppin’ by with the trailer to drop off all those old ass cots our folks used to keep around here. Make sure Phish scrubs them clean and gets them in the sun to dry before people start showin’ up.”
I don’t respond because my brother knows I’ll make sure it happens. We’re a bunch of animals around here, but we aren’t about to make people sleep on the fuckin’ ground. We will all need a good amount of rest so we’re all fuckin’ focused. Our brothers will get trashed, sleep, and be up as long as the women get breakfast going, and if we don’t have proper places for them to sleep, they’ll be bigger assholes than they already are.
If it were me, I wouldn’t be sleeping on the cots. Fuck, they are thirty-something-years old, and who the hell knows what went down on those things. I’ll fuck on surfaces and shit, but something that old, being in storage where god knows what climbed or produced offspring on them. I don’t fucking think so.
“Hey there, stranger.” Luce, the sexy as sin sergeant-at-arms for our Lady charter, comes up to me. I’ve stuck my cock in her many times, and it never gets old.
“Hey baby, how ya been,” I ask while wrapping her in my arms for a hug. Sweetest piece of pie, but fuck if she isn’t deadly with a gun.
When we drop from our embrace, I take a moment to look her over. Her short, cropped brown hair is longer than it was the last time I fucked her, and she’s added a Monroe piercing along with the stud in her nose. Her brown eyes twinkle when she smiles at me, and her tits move in and out as she breathes. Small little thing. I forget she’s so tiny and short.
“Checkin’ me out as always, babe.”
“You know it, Luce.”
“I’ve been good, to answer your question. Besides shackin’ up with you assholes. It’s been pretty tame.”
I forgot how easy it is to talk to this woman.
“Sniper…”
Piper. I turn around, and she clucks her tongue at me as she walks up to us. “Hi, I’m Piper,” she says to Luce.
Besides Piper, Luce is another close friend. Not as close as Piper and me, but close, and I have a gut feeling I will sense jealousy soon.
“Luce,” Lucy replies.
“Sniper, Berry is wantin’ to know how many people we should cook for? She’s been cookin’ and freezin’ food for hours, I hear.” Piper moves her attention back to me.
In my head, I try to tally all the people, but I can’t give her a direct count.
“You guys need to cook for about around a hundred people or so. The lady charter will help. They usually do when we have lockdowns like this. Tell Berry to give them some food, and they’ll bring it over and use this kitchen while you guys use the live-in kitchen.”
Piper’s eyes widen. “That many fuckin’ people? Does Berry know I’m comin’ back with a number that high?”
I chuckle. “Darlin’… this isn’t Berry’s first rodeo.”
She doesn’t say anything else to me, and I know she can tell I have chemistry and a past with Luce. I should have told her about Lucy long ago, but I honestly forgot all about her. I’m going to hear about this for a long time to come.
I watch as she walks away from me without even saying a goodbye. Yeah, I am in big ass trouble.
“You’ve replaced me.”
Jesus fuck. “Luce, you’ve never been the jealous type. Don’t start now. Go help Berry, please.” I tack on the please to get her out of my hair quicker. I need to figure out why I haven’t told Piper about Lucy and to do that, I have to get away from her.
“Fine. Whatever.”
No clue why Lucy is acting the way she is. She knows I’ll fuck her if she wants. She’s still a good friend. I need to stop getting close to women if the end result is jealousy. I won’t deal with that shit.
My gut is screaming we’re about to experience the worst damn lockdown we have ever seen.
Goddamnit!

It’s a Breakneck Chapter
Piper
“How close to Sniper are you?” Luce asks as we walk into the live-in.
Hell if I want to get friendly with her.
“He’s one of my good friends.” That is all she is getting out of me. If she can question me, I sure the fuck can question her as well. “How close are you?”
She giggles. A fucking biker chick that giggles. A migraine is already forming in my skull. Great.
“We’ve been fuck buddies for years.”
