“The door, boss?”

“I hate repeating myself, Tony.”

“Oh. Sorry. It, uhh, um… Well, it says… Employees Only.”

“Does she look like an employee, Tony?”

“N-no, b-but she said she was your girlfriend.”

My eyebrows rose at that. Oh, Savannah was a bold one.

I’d never had a girlfriend—ever. I definitely wasn’t claiming someone who had my dick down her throat within five minutes of meeting me. It wasn’t even how fast Savannah let me use her body that turned me off. I didn’t play games, so I admired a confident woman who went for what she wanted. It was how little respect she’d been willing to accept from me in return.

I’d met Savannah on one of the rare nights I had time to kick back and actually enjoy my life. The Instagram model had walked right up to me and introduced herself. I liked what I saw, so I told her that her name wasn’t as important as how fast she could make me come. Two minutes later, she was on her knees for me in one of the bathrooms. One subpar nut later, I had her bent over the sink. She’d been blowing me up like she was my bitch ever since.

“Oh, did she?”

Tony eagerly nodded. He probably thought throwing a helpless female under the bus would take the heat off him, but it just made me want to beat his ass that much more.

“So, when in the three days you’ve known me did you become an expert about my personal life, Tony?”

I appeared calm, but I was one wrong syllable away from blowing his head open. I had a lot of enemies, so I needed people around me whose heads were more than empty buckets, people who possessed critical thinking skills that should have developed in the third grade. It was the reason I’d never make a bobblehead like Savannah Goode my girl.

“I’m not. I just didn’t think—”

The back of my hand flying across his face cut off the rest of his sentence. I slapped him three more times before his spit could even finish hitting the ground. Feeling no remorse whatsoever, I watched Tony stumble and cup his face. “That’s right, Tony,” I said coldly. “You didn’t think.”

“I’m sorry!” he cried out like a bitch.

“Are you yelling at me, Tony?”

Still cupping his cheek, he quickly shook his head while backing away so I wouldn’t hit him again.

I turned my attention to a giggling Savannah and studied her with a blank expression before shaking my head and grabbing her arm. “Come on.”

Thinking we were going somewhere private to talk or fuck like she wanted, Savannah happily followed. The other mechanics had already returned to work like it was just another day. Sadly, it was since I had to slap, fuck up, or fire at least two of them once a week.

It was like I said before. Good help was hard to find.

I led Savannah through the pedestrian door next to the loading doors, where we drove the cars in and out.

The gates on either side of the building were locked and controlled by electronic key fobs given to the employees or remotely from the app that only Joren, Roc, Golden, and I could access.

I led her through the gate that overlooked the street, and the moment we reached the sidewalk, I let her go and left her stewing on the curb like yesterday’s trash.

I had no problem slapping grown men around like bitches, but violence against women was a hard fucking pass for me.

“Rowdy, you can’t keep treating me like this!” Savannah screamed at my retreating back. “You have to talk to me!”

“No, the fuck I don’t. Take your ass on, Sav.”

Walking back inside, I pulled my phone from my work pants to check the time. Roc had actually taken some initiative for once and hired a new receptionist three days ago. She was supposed to be starting today—four minutes ago, in fact—but hadn’t shown her face yet.

I searched my memory for her name but came up short and decided I didn’t care. I wanted to greet her as soon as she arrived so I could get her ass to work immediately and warn her not to piss me off.

Golden had already given me the four-one-one on her, so I was keeping my eyes open and a bullet with her name on it if she turned out to be the opps.

Returning to my station, I folded all six-foot-six of me inside the tiny Acura before driving it around the block for a test drive. I then dropped the keys and car off with one of the valet boys.
