What I did know was that I didn't feel bad about that.

Because whoever this woman was, I didn’t like her. Not one fucking bit.

With a sneer in her tone, she stated, “You’re a club girl.”

“Yes, I am. You still haven’t told me who you are. Now, is there something I can do for you?” I used the rag under my hand to clench onto it instead of slapping her because she was a rude ass bitch.

“Who I am isn’t important right now. I just wanted to get to know the woman that spreads her legs for every man here, uncaring if they are taken or not.” Before I could correct her, Gravel’s ole’ lady Alicia walked over, and with her hands on her hips, she snapped.

“Look, we don’t know who you are or why you’re here, but let me tell you something, bitch. Gabby here is one of the best. She doesn’t sleep with married men. Ever.”

The she-bitch huffed out a laugh as she said, “That’s a fucking lie.”

Gravel’s voice boomed when he asked, “Who the hell do you think you are calling my woman a liar?”

The she-bitch finally filled us all in as she crossed her arms over her fake as fuck chest and said rather hauntingly, “I’m Rebecca. I’m Pipe’s wife.”

Gravel got a disgusted look on his face, one that I didn’t understand, and asked with a frown, “Not his ole’ lady?”

She threw her hands up in the air and said, “Wife, ole’ lady. It’s the same damn thing.”

“No bitch. It's not. Round here a wife doesn’t mean shit. He give you a property kutte? A tattoo? Anything?” Alicia asked and crossed her arms over her chest with an all-knowing smile on her face.

Rebecca shook her head as her shoulders dropped.

Gravel stepped up behind Alicia and wrapped his arm around her shoulders and pulled her into his body.

He nodded and said, “Thought so, bitch. Then round here, you ain’t shit. And you won't be coming into this clubhouse trying to pick a fight with one of our girls. Especially when she hasn’t done a damn thing wrong.”

None of us noticed the club door had opened until a booming voice had everyone snapping their heads to the man that had just walked through the door. “What the fuck are you doing here?”

“Pipe, I've been looking all over for you. I have something to tell you. It couldn’t wait. Besides, we need to talk and you won't answer the phone.”

He didn’t spare her a glance when she said that, instead he had his eyes locked with mine.

I watched as his eyes never left mine as he asked me, “You okay?”

“I’m...” She started, but promptly shut her mouth when she saw where his eyes were trained.

Smack. Dab. On. Me.

In a soft voice, I said, “I’m fine.”

“No, she’s not. This bitch just accused Gabby of being a whore and that she sleeps with married men, too.” Alicia was shooting daggers at Rebecca.

Rebecca growled and snapped, “So what? What else am I supposed to think? You never come home anymore. And when you do come home, you reek of that woman.” She said as she pointed a red-painted talon at me. “You’re just going to throw away almost twenty years of marriage for that? You’re just going after someone that is younger than me? I mean, I get it that we look alike and all but come on. She can’t please you. Why do you want someone that is nothing but a trashy whore?”

I watched in awe as Pipe’s entire frame stiffened and then when his rasp came out in full force because he dropped an octave in his tone when he said, “First of all, I know how many men she has been with. I can also tell you that I’m not into her for her age. And you are blind as a motherfucking bat to say that y’all look alike. Y’all look nothing alike. She’s fucking gorgeous, as a matter of fact, the first time I laid eyes on her she took my breath away. When I saw you, I saw someone who was an easy lay. And I can also tell you that you’re the whore in this scenario. Want to know why I quit giving you my dick? Because I got an STD from you. I haven’t been with anyone but you. I also know how many men you’ve cheated on me with. I quit being able to count them on all of my digits ten years ago. The only reason I stuck my dick in you after that was because I took vows. But after meeting her and seeing that I deserve a hell of a lot more? I'll tell you right now, the number of men she has slept with? Five. Fucking five. So, what does that tell you?”

Trigger walked over to us and told me he needed my help. I chanced a look at Pipe and saw him nod, then and only then did I walk out of the main room and into his office.

And I missed the look on Pipe’s face as he watched me and the daggers that Rebecca was shooting at me.

When I came out of his office three hours later, Rebecca was gone and so was Pipe. As were Asher, Charlie, Coal, Irish, and Whit.

Since the prospects were still getting things ready, I took my place behind the bar again.

And for the umpteenth time, I was wondering why the hell none of the brothers have even bothered to come to me like they used to. Sure, it was only five of them, but still, here lately they all treated me like I carried some flesh-eating disease. Hell, even Buster has been leaving me alone.
