Didi grinned. “Happy to. I happen to think the world of Blossom, and she’s too sweet to tell them where to get off.”
“Well, you never know who’s nice and who’s not. I mean, you’re a club girl, Didi, but you’re not like the others.”
“That’s because I’m not here to land me a man and try to take power that ain’t mine. I’m just here for the sex.” Didi’s smile was megawatt. “And believe me, it doesn’t matter which man I get, ’cause they’re all good in the sack. I got no problem taking who’s available and leaving those who ain’t alone.”
Iris snorted her laughter while Winter grinned. Serelda looked across the room to Brick. “Can’t speak for all the guys, but I know one man who is certainly good in the sack.”
This time, the other two women burst out laughing. I should have turned away, because I knew what was coming next. Like an idiot, I kept watching, even knowing it was the worst possible thing I could do. Sure enough, Blossom turned her head in my direction. When I gave her a hard, disapproving stare, she blushed and ducked her head, turning away from me. Yeah. It was time I left the common room.
I slammed the shot glass down on the bar and rose. I needed a distraction. No better distraction than a nice long ride.
“Walker!”
Fuck. Me.
Blossom. For God’s sake. The woman simply would not take a fucking hint.
“Ain’t got time for you, girl,” I growled. “Go find someone else to pester. Preferably somewhere you belong.”
She gasped and blinked a few times before flashing me a bright smile. “I didn’t mean to bother you. I just thought you might like to join us. I made cookies for everyone.”
“Don’t need no fuckin’ cookies.” I pushed past her and outside. I needed to fucking ride. To get out of her presence. I had no desire to take on another woman. Not after losing Rebecca.
“I was only trying to do something nice. Everyone seems to like it when I bring goodies.” She was still smiling, but it looked a little forced. I couldn’t blame her. I was gruff on the best of days. This wasn’t the best of days. Mainly because she kept fucking showing up!
“Look. Let’s cut to the chase. You’re followin’ me around like a lost puppy dog. I ain’t interested. OK?”
She blinked several times, but I could tell she wasn’t done yet. “How do you know? I mean, what if we found we enjoyed each other’s company?” She gave me a shy smile. “I mean, we don’t have to do anything else. I just want to get to know you better.”
I snorted a scoffing dissent. “Girl, what reason would I have to get to know you, huh? Even if I decided I wanted you, there’s no way a little innocent like you could keep up with me.” I had to hide my wince. I sounded arrogant as hell. God knew I didn’t mean it, but I had to do something to get her off me. It would only end with her getting hurt and me feeling even more like shit than I already did.
Surprisingly, Blossom lifted her chin. “You don’t know that. Everyone has to learn, and I could pick up on what you needed. I’m not stupid.”
“Oh, really,” I drawled. Snagging her upper arm, I pulled her after me outside the clubhouse. Once the door shut behind us, I pressed her against the outside wall and leaned my weight against her, trapping her. Her hands landed on my chest, her eyes wide and her breath coming in sharp pants. Her pulse fluttered at her throat.
Needing to drive this lesson home, I snagged her wrists and shoved them above her head, trapping them in one of mine. “You don’t get it, girl. You have no idea what I need, and I promise you, you’re not even close to being ready for my brand of fuckin’.”
When she opened her mouth, I grabbed her jaw with my other hand and took her mouth in a deep, searing kiss. I thrust my tongue deep, taking what I wanted from her. It wasn’t a gentle kiss. Not even close. Any club whore I’d ever kissed this way knew they were in for a hard fucking. Some of them welcomed it. Others knew it was time to move on. I was hoping this girl realized the latter because I wasn’t sure I’d survive if she embraced it. Lord knew there was no way I could resist her if she did.
As I’d hoped, she stiffened, little mews coming from her throat. I wasn’t sure if it was a protest or not, but I continued kissing her until she went still against my body. Then she sighed and submitted completely to me. It was a fucking dick move. If one of my brothers had witnessed what I’d done, they’d’ve kicked my ass. Or worse. But this point had to be made. She couldn’t keep coming around expecting there to be something between us. It would only hurt her in the end. This was a kindness, really.
