Mac

It had been a long week. Shit with the Phantoms was getting worse. They hadn’t made their way to Las Vegas or the immediate surrounding areas, but they were definitely too close for comfort.

Viper and Hawk had a run-in with them at a bar about an hour north of Las Vegas. It had cost the club a pretty penny to keep the two of them out of jail for assault. Hopefully, the ass kicking the two of them handed out sent a message that we weren’t going to back down.

We were probably going to be calling in some favors from some of the Desert Sinner charters soon to help deal with them, but that brought its own set of issues. Needless to say, I was looking forward to spending some time with Kate, away from the stress of things out of my control.

I hadn’t seen her since the day I took her for a ride. I didn’t know what the plan was tonight, but I liked the idea of watching Kate let loose. On the other hand, I wasn’t looking forward to hanging out in some club, watching a bunch of lame guys hitting on anything that looked their way. I was going to need to make it clear that Kate wasn’t available for the taking.

I knocked on her door and waited for what seemed like forever before Kate answered. When she finally did, I didn’t even recognize her. Instead of the usual jeans and sweatshirts she wore, or her ridiculous waitress uniform, she was wearing a skintight, black dress that barely covered her ass. The V in the front went down past her tits, and I couldn’t seem to pull my eyes away from her perfect breasts.

“Hello, Mac,” she said. Her grin told me she knew exactly what she was doing to me.

“Hey, happy birthday.”

“Thank you.” Her smile was now sincere instead of teasing, and I liked that one even more.

“Your dad is going to be pissed when he finds out what you’re wearing.”

“So, you’re going to tell on me now? I didn’t think big, bad bikers liked snitches,” she joked as she pulled on a tight, short leather jacket.

She was trying to rile me up, and it was working. “No, but if he finds out, it’s your ass.” That wasn’t true. If Viking found out what she was wearing, he would kickmyass for letting her out of the house dressed like that. “So, what’s the plan for tonight?” I asked, looking for anything to get my attention off how sexy she looked and how I wanted nothing more than to bend her over and fuck her right there in the living room.

“I’m going to drive over to Evelyn’s house to pick her up. We’re definitely drinking and dancing. She even managed to get us some VIP passes, but I don’t know where to yet. Who knows what else we’ll decide to do.” She finished touching up her makeup in the mirror by the front door, and I sat there, mesmerized like a fucking idiot. “You know, this is completely unnecessary. I don’t need a babysitter.”

“Too bad. Your dad asked Wolf and me to go with you, so that’s what’s happening.” I was a little annoyed she didn’t want me to go with her.

“Where is Wolf, anyway?” she asked, just now realizing he wasn’t with me.

I tried to tamp down the possessiveness I felt. Wolf had already stated he had no interest in Kate when I questioned him recently. Then he spent the next twenty minutes telling me what an idiot I was for even thinking about hooking up with her. What he didn’t understand was there was no longer a question of if I was going to fuck Kate, but rather a matter of when.

“He’s going to meet us wherever we end up. He had some shit to handle.”

The shit he was handling had to do with our ever-present problem. I couldn’t share that with Kate since it was club business, but it was the reason Viking was insistent that Wolf and I go out with her tonight. The Desert Sinners never targeted women or children, but the Phantoms didn’t share the same code.

We walked out of her house together toward her driveway.

“Are you going to ride with me?” she asked.

I laughed at that. “No, babe. You’d never catch me in a cage unless I’m dying.”

She rolled her eyes at me, and I wanted nothing more than to grab her by her long ponytail and crash my lips on hers. Her sassy attitude was definitely a turn-on.

She walked to her car, and I climbed on my bike that was parked directly behind her. I followed her to her friend’s house and waited outside while she went to get her.

When the two of them walked out, it was clear I was going to get in a fight tonight. They both looked hot, and I just knew some douchebags were going to act like fools around them. I followed them as they headed to the Strip. I always hated driving down here. There were too many cars and pedestrians.

Finally, they pulled into one of the casinos and followed the signs to self-parking. “We’re going to go check in,” Kate announced as she grabbed a small overnight bag I hadn’t noticed before from her trunk.

“You’re staying here tonight?” Viking hadn’t mentioned that to us.

“Yeah, we both wanted to drink and figured it would be better to stay here than try to figure out rides later.”

It made sense, but I hadn’t made plans to stay overnight. I walked up with her to check in. After she gave the hotel clerk her information, I informed him I needed a room as well, preferably one next to hers.

She looked at me with questioning eyes, but I just shrugged my shoulders. “Viking said we needed to stay with you all night.”

That earned me another eye roll, which just made me chuckle.

“I don’t have any connecting rooms left, but we do have two rooms next to each other,” the clerk informed us.

I handed over my credit card. “That’ll work.”

I sent a quick text to Wolf to let him know about the change of plans and asked him to grab a few things for me from the clubhouse.

Wolf:The two of you staying at the hotel together? Sounds like trouble.

Me:Don’t I know it.
