Nasty Bastard (Grim Bastards MC Book 4) by Emily Minton, Shelley Springfield Page B

end up losing your cut.”
    He’s right. Every damn thing he is saying is true. Still, it doesn’t change a damn thing. I’m not letting her go this time, no matter what it costs me.
    Not waiting for me to reply, he asks, “Is she really worth giving up your brothers and the club, losing everything that you love?”
    I ball my hands into fists to keep from knocking him on his ass. “Yeah, I’d give up everything for her, Dad. That includes you. Don’t make me choose between the two of you, because you’ll lose.”
    I can see the doubt in his eyes when he says, “I’m just trying to keep you from making the same mistakes I’ve made.”
    “Gidget isn’t Mom. She’s nothing like her.” I shake my head at how blind he is before continuing. “Do you think Lisa’s anything like Mom?”
    His entire body goes taut as he growls, “Don’t bring my woman into this, Smoke. You know damn good and well that Lisa’s nothing like your Mom.”
    Laying my hand on his shoulder, I tell him the one thing he may understand. “Gidget is my Lisa.”
    With those words, I leave him and continue down the hall. Just as I reach the door to the bedroom, I hear my name being called from behind me. How many more fuckers are gonna stop me today? A sigh leaves my lips as I turn around. Violet is heading my way with a smile on her face. Even though I don’t have time for this shit, I wait, not wanting her to try to follow me into Gidget’s room.
    “I saw Doc in there earlier,” she says, motioning her head toward the door. “What’s going on? Is someone hurt or something?”
    My eyes narrow on her. “What’s going on is none of your fucking concern, so don’t be asking questions. I think you’ve been here long enough to know where your place is, and it’s not in everyone’s business.”
    She starts to take a step back but hesitates and reaches out to try to grab my hand. “You seem stressed. I’m sure I can come up with something to make you feel better, just a little stress release.”
    Her words hit me in the gut, causing my stomach to roll. I can’t believe I’ve spent the last three months fucking this bitch. “You need to get the fuck away from me before I do something we’re both gonna regret.”
    This time, she does take a step back. “What’s wrong, Smoke? Did I do something to make you mad?”
    The chick is fucking crazy. More than once, I’ve told her to stay the fuck away from me unless she is called. Still, she follows me around like a bitch in heat. That shit’s gonna stop right now.
    “Yeah, you did,” I say, running a hand through my hair. “You are not my old lady, and you never will be. I’ve told you, many times, that fucking was all that we were gonna have. You don’t listen. For some reason, you think I’m your man, and that I want you. You’ve never been anything but easy pussy, so you need to quit trying to put yourself in my life.”
    Standing in front of her, my eyes scan her from head to toe, thinking about the time I wasted in her bed. I don’t know what I ever saw in her. Violet may look a little bit like Gidget, but that’s as far as the similarities go. She has the long dark hair and blue eyes, but that’s it. As soon as she touches me, the illusion is broken.
    I wasn’t lying; she was nothing more than easy pussy. She’s just like all the others I’ve fucked over the years. Just someone to fill the void left behind by the woman I really wanted. Now that I have a chance to have Gidget in my life again, even if that chance is slim, I’m not gonna let this bitch fuck it up.
    Taking another step back, she pushes out her bottom lip and pouts. “I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
    A part of me feels bad. The chick just doesn’t have what it takes to be a club whore. She wants to be an old lady, but she doesn’t have what it takes for that either. She needs to take her ass back home and stay the fuck away from the club, but I could talk till I’m blue in the face and
