“I was tempted to dip his toothbrush in the toilet.” Bennie grinned, but before Naggie could sit on that very tempting idea, the sound of the front door opening and slamming shut had them both looking down the hallway.
“That motherfucking cocksucker,” Naggie said under her breath.
“Naggie?” Rob yelled out, and there was clear anger in his voice, which further pissed her off. He had no right to feel anything but shame and self-disgust for being such a prick.
“Come on,” she said to Bennie and led the way down the hallway, not about to get into anything with Rob. She was done with this and him, and although she hadn’t committed herself to another man yet, she was anxious to see where this new chapter in her life led.
She rounded the corner only to come to a stop when she saw Rob standing by the front door.
“You’re here.”
“Just to get my shit, but now I’m gone.” She moved forward and tried to push past him, but he reached out and grabbed her arm.
Snapping her head in his direction, she bared her teeth. “If you want to keep your balls and the option to have children later on in life, I suggest you let go of me.”
Rob let go of her, because if the past year had taught him anything, it should have been that she didn’t fuck around or make idle threats. But then again, he cheated on her, so he either didn’t care or he was just an idiot.
“Naggie, please let me explain—”
“Rob, if I were you, I’d just shut the hell up and get the fuck out of the way.” Leave it to Bennie to grow impatient too.
“Bennie, stay the hell out of this.”
“You have no right talking to my friend that way. You brought this on yourself, fucked up big time, and now you’re dealing with the consequences. I hope you like jerking yourself off from this point on, or maybe you can have that bitch Tally handle it for you.”
“I’m not seeing Tally. I stopped whatever was happening between us, because I want to change. I only want you, Naggie.”
Naggie stared at him but kept her humorless laugh inside. “You broke it off with her? For me?”
Rob smiled, obviously thinking she was thrilled with the idea. “Of course I did. I love you.” He tried to reach for her again, but she slapped his hand away.
“You stupid asshole. Now it looks like you really are going to have to jack off.” She shook her head. “You know, you say you love me, but you never once said it during our relationship.” She adjusted the bag on her shoulder. “Let’s be honest, Rob. There was never any love between us. This was a physical relationship, and when I stopped putting out like a damn sex fiend, you went to the next easy lay.” Yeah, their relationship had been mainly physical, but she had actually let herself trust him, even if it didn’t feel real. “Then again, faking it was getting old anyway.”
What she had with Rob for the last year didn’t even compare to the night she experienced with Booshie. She stared at Rob, feeling sick and disgusted over wasting so much time with him. Served her right for not listening to her heart and letting her need to have someone overrule her.
“This whole fucking Tally in the bedroom was an eye opener, and one I desperately needed. I’m never settling again just because I’m sick of being alone.” She turned and looked at Bennie. “Let’s go.”
“So what, you’re just going to leave me and jump in bed with that fucking biker?”
Naggie turned back around. “Fuck you, Rob. What I do, or in this case who I do, is none of your damn business. You lost the right to care about what I do when you stuck your dick in a tramp.” She turned and left him standing there with a scowl on his face. Once they were outside, Bennie took her hand and stopped her.
“Who do you think told that POS about you and the biker?”
She shook her head. “I think the better question is who didn’t tell him. This damn town is like high school girls on speed when it comes to gossip, especially when it comes to the Vicious Bastards. But if I were worried about what people said, I would have conformed a long time ago.” She smiled, squeezed Bennie’s hand, and went over to her car.
“How about we order takeout and get drunk tonight? We can watch some horror movies where the dumb sluts get killed first.”
Naggie started laughing. “You read my mind.” She climbed into the car, and once Bennie pulled out of the driveway, she glanced once more at the front door. “So long, old chapter in my life.”

Booshie entered the clubhouse and was feeling pretty damn good about himself. Yeah, Naggie agreed to have dinner with him, and although it certainly wasn’t breaking news to stop traffic, to him, it felt fucking incredible.
