I let Skeeter deal with the screaming girls while I stalked across the room to Matteo, slamming my fist into his face.

Samuel dove at me to pull me off him, some of the other guys that had been standing around started cheering us on, and then after a moment of wrestling both Matteo and Samuel, Skeeter jumped in too.

I had no idea where the girls had gone, and I honestly didn’t care.

A gunshot went off, stopping all of us as we glanced around to find Brick standing just outside the office with his gun aimed at the ceiling.

“Would you fuckers stop? Jesus Christ. Those girls have been nothing but trouble since they showed up,” he barked, putting his gun back by his side.

“I suppose you’re okay with Donovan though, right?” Matteo threw back, and Brick raised an eyebrow.

“Donovan doesn’t try to sexually assault anyone and she stays out of the fucking way. I’m not having this argument with you, man. You’re only fucking them to piss off Skeet. Keep Mandy if you really have to, but Claire has no reason to be here.”

“Claire—”

“Skeet and Diesel are in charge. I don’t always agree with their decisions, but I do with this. Those girls will bring us trouble, and it’s why we don’t allow academy brats here. Fuck the crew whores, for fuck’s sake,” he spat. “You can climb up and patch the bullet hole in the roof too.”

I didn’t know why they needed to fuck any of the girls. I wasn’t completely stupid, sex felt good, but it was because of the person you were fucking.

“D, go chill in the office,” Skeeter murmured, giving me a nod to let me know he had it handled, and as bad as I felt for leaving it with him, I wasn’t going to argue.

I headed straight into the office for a cigarette, sitting at my desk with a sigh. Glancing down, I was pretty sure it was pussy, not spilled whiskey on my pants, making me cringe as I stood to kick them off.

Thankfully, I always kept a spare change of clothes here.

I’d just put a fresh pair on and made a promise to burn the other pair, when the door opened and Brick appeared, yelling drawing my attention.

“What’s going on?” I asked as I finished my cigarette, moving towards him when I heard someone mention the pigs. “The cops are here?”

“Those girls caused a huge fucking problem,” he muttered, stepping aside to let me past.

“Are you fucking serious?” Skeeter demanded, blocking the cops from entering the main room.

“Just get in the car, Maddox,” the chief warned, his eyes going to me. “Maverick, you’re with us too.”

“What the fuck did we do?” I asked, my stomach dropping as he replied.

“We got a call from some girls that were just here. One is claiming you sexually assaulted her before Skeet threw her outside naked.”

“That bitch said I assaulted her? She assaulted me!” I snapped, and Skeeter put his hand up to silence me.

“Calm down. The cameras will show the truth.”

“They’re working today? Convenient,” one of the cops grumbled. “You guys look like you’ve been fighting. Something happen?”

“Fighting? We were just messing around,” Skeeter snorted, pointing at Brick. “Get the footage. I’ll sue that little cunt myself for making false claims. Where is she?”

“Outside in our cruiser. Are her clothes in here?” BG, the rookie cop, asked with a frown.

“She was naked when she approached me. I have no idea where her clothes are,” I growled, hoping she was cold and embarrassed as hell. “She’s been in here for weeks with her friend fucking the guys. She won’t listen when I tell her I’m not interested. You fucking know me, man. When have you ever seen me chasing girls?”

BG didn’t have an answer for that, but the chief sighed.

“We’re just doing our job. Claire’s parents won’t let this slide. You know who they are, right?”

“Some tiny ass hotel owners. They don’t scare me,” I scoffed, despite knowing they could bury me if they wanted to.

“If they don’t like that their daughter’s a fucking slut, that’s not our problem,” Skeeter stated, all of us at a stand-off until Brick returned.
