Train shook his head. “Sorry, count Killyama out. With her expecting, we’ve both agreed she’s going to stay close to Treepoint for the time being.”
“No more riding to Jamestown anytime one of the bitches calls?” Cash joked.
Train wasn’t amused. “I’m not worried about the bitches, but she can’t help inserting herself in one of Hammer and Jonas’ cases. The only riding I want her to do is on the keyboard. Killy’s going to work with them remotely while she finishes her degree.”
Cash raised a skeptical brow. “How’d you get her to agree to that?”
Train’s face went impassive. “None of your fucking business, but she agreed, and she’ll keep her word.”
“Good luck with that.” Cash still seemed unconvinced. “Killyama isn’t going to be able to resist running to Hammer and Jonas anytime they call any more than Rachel does when her family calls.”
Train’s expression didn’t change. “We’ll see.”
Cash just shook his head at Train. “Yes, you will.”
Moon watched the byplay between the two men. “You two crack me the fuck up.” He looked back at Viper. “Can we get back to the meeting? I’d rather be counting seed packets than listening to this. Where are the brothers I rode with who knew how to lay down the law on their women? You all just hand over your balls with those wedding rings? God Almighty, you don’t want them to do something? Fucking tell them. They don’t do it, divorce their ass. Move on. Simple. Problem solved. Can we move on, or are you going to be paying me that overtime, Viper, for the fucking time I’ve wasted listening to their horseshit?”
Viper’s lips curled in amusement. “Brother, when you can practice what you preach, we’ll take your advice. Until then, I wouldn’t be spreading those pearls of wisdom.”
Moon shrugged, uncaring if they took his advice or not. He would never find himself in their situation. “I’m just saying it like I see it. You’ll never hear me saying ‘we agreed.’ My word will go. If not, then she can.” Moon rose from the couch. “We done here?”
“We’re done.” Viper gave him a tight-lipped smile before gesturing to Shade and Rider to stay. “Train, I left my laptop on Jewell’s desk at the factory; do you mind getting it for me?”
“No problem.” Train walked out of the den with him as they headed to the factory.
“I’d be careful if I were you,” Train said as they went out the front door of the club.
Moon gave Train a sideways glance. “About what? You don’t want to take my advice about Killyama, then don’t. I could give a rat’s ass—”
“I’m not talking about your advice where our wives are concerned. You can’t keep track of what woman you fucked last night, much less maintain a relationship long enough to get married.”
Unwilling to show Train he had hit the mark dead center, Moon restrained himself from faceplanting the brother in the snowy mud. He needed to finish the inventory, not fight on the front lawn.
“I was talking about Viper. You’ve been pushing his buttons lately, and Wizard is just as fed up. They’re not going to keep giving you special treatment much longer. If you don’t chill, you’re going to find yourself without a club.”
He had been provoking both Viper and Wizard more than usual, despite telling himself to chill. He was unhappy with his personal life, and it was bleeding over to his club life. Last night wasn’t going to help, either.
With both Echo and Ember taken out of the equation, that only left Jade and Stori. Jewell had been with Rory. Or maybe she hadn’t? He would check with her first. If she got angry, she wouldn’t go for his wallet—she’d go after his ass.
CHAPTER NINE
Moon kicked the tire of his bike as he watched Stori and Jade come back from grocery shopping. Finally! They had left over three hours ago. He had been thwarted from talking to Jewell until he had taken the bull from the horns and texted her. Her response had been a no she hadn’t fucked him, then she told him to fuck off.
“Need some help?” Moon called out, already walking toward them.
“Please.” Jade gave him a thankful smile as she moved to the side so he could take the bags out.
Leaving the smaller bags for them to take, he fell in step with them as they went to the walkway beside the club instead of taking the steep stairs.
“Was the grocery store busy?”
“Not at all.” Stori lightly swung the bag in her hand as they walked.
“What took so long, then?”
Both women looked at him at the irritation he hadn’t been able to keep out of his voice.
“We treated ourselves to lunch at King’s.” Jade frowned. “I didn’t realize there was a big rush for us to get back.”
“There wasn’t. I was just worried about how long it was taking.”
