“You’re right. They probably think of smelly bastards.” He shrugged. “It’s a name that we all liked, and of course we were all thinking about sex, and how we like it. Dirty, mean, and everything that makes sex good.” He leaned against the doorframe, watching her as she pulled on a pair of flats. She stood and smiled at him.
“Good sex. I get it.” She smiled. “You didn’t see anything then with the door being open?”
He could tell her, and then she would act differently around him. He didn’t want that. “I didn’t see a thing.” Sometimes a little white lie was best. “Leo told me that you had a productive day.”
“Yes, we did. It was a lot of fun. At least, I enjoyed it, and I bought some things I probably shouldn’t have.”
“I’m pleased to hear you had fun.”
“I applied for a couple of positions as well. That should be fun.”
“Positions?” The only thing going through his mind was having her on her knees, or flat on her back with him riding her pussy hard.
“You know, jobs. I’ve applied at a couple of places in town. I’m really excited about it. Of course, I didn’t find a place to rent, but that’s no problem. I’ll keep looking.”
“You want to move out of the clubhouse?”
“I can’t stay here forever, and I don’t feel comfortable here all the time. You guys are amazing, and have been very nice to me, and I appreciate it. Just all the partying, and the sex. It takes some time for a girl to get used to.”
“You know all the women that are being fucked are there because they want to be, right?”
“I know. I’ve never been good with the whole personal stuff. There’s nothing wrong with it. I’m just a bit weird that way. No biggie.” She stepped out of her room, and he offered her his arm.
“Shall we?”
“I’d love to. I am starving. The club seems a bit quiet tonight.”
“A lot of us descend onto the diner. Teri is usually swamped.”
“Well, I can jump in and help if the need arises. I don’t mind doing that.” She held onto his arm. “Leo told me what happened between you and Stacey. I’m so sorry.”
“Don’t worry about it. Neither of us really wanted her. I see that now.”
“He said the same thing. That the two of you hadn’t been clear on what you wanted, and that had been your downfall. It must suck. I know what it’s like to want something, and to be taken advantage of.”
He patted her hand. “Don’t you worry about me. I’m a big man. I don’t hurt easily.”
She smiled at him, and it took his breath away. She dazzled him.
Paul wondered if this was what Leo felt when he was with her.
They left the clubhouse and started walking toward the diner. He saw how busy it was, and with the warm weather, the diner had tables outside.
Daniel was there, serving. They had all agreed that he was going to be a patched in member, but that hadn’t happened yet. With the drama from Dane, and just life in general, they hadn’t been able to find any available time to party.
Also, Daniel’s leather jacket wasn’t ready yet.
He saw Lucy and her crew of devils were there along with Ryan. Dane was there, as was Lewis.
“Be warned, babe, tonight could hold a little drama. I think you should sit between me and Leo to keep you safe.”
“Okay. I don’t mind. You’re both sweet, and have been so kind to me.”
She rested her head against his shoulder, and Paul couldn’t believe how much that meant to him.
Get your shit together.
Entering the diner, noise filled the air. Laughter, a child’s scream and giggles, chatter, and just a humming of energy.
