“All the brothers are more or less like any other man. They may be a little gruffer around the edges, but they have hearts of gold. Just don’t tell them that. They like to keep it well hidden. You’ll meet all of them tomorrow when we decorate the club if you feel up to it. I have to warn you the club girls are not going to be happy that Shine has taken a liking to you. Be warned. They are alley cats and will do whatever they can to stop it. I have had to fight many a club girl over my man. I’ll be there with you, but do not let them intimidate you, because if you do, they will walk all over you.” I don’t even know these women.
“Why? I don’t even know them. Shine wants me, he says. I am really drawn to him, but we haven’t even talked. Do you think he means it? I feel something towards him, but I am not sure what. I’ve never even dated before. I was too busy working.” I have decided to see where this can go. I don’t want anyone interfering with it.
“All the sluts in the clubhouse want is for someone to claim them. Their number one goal is to be an old lady. No matter if the man is married or not. The higher up in the rankings they are, the better. Cap is President and that means every bitch wants him. After him is Shine and Con because they know one of them will be the next President. They are like our sons and are being groomed for the position. One will be President and the other VP. So the bitches flock to them, as if they need that. They have no problems getting female company. Anyway, I was just warning you. I’ll be with you and there will be no worries.” Now I am worried. Why am I so worried? It’s like I have a knot in my stomach and I feel anxious.
“Where is Shine? I’d like to talk to him.” Lil looks at me.
“He’ll be back in a little while. He went to have a little conversation with the girls so there will be no complications. You have feelings towards Shine, don’t you? It’s written all over your face. That is wonderful. I thought it was all one sided, but you and Shine are going to be the cutest couple. Not that Shine will want to hear that.” Lil is genuinely happy for us. He’ll be here when he gets here.
“Can I do anything to help?” She looks buried in Christmas decorations.
“Come on over and help me separate these decorations. Plastic goes to clubhouse and glass stays here. They’re too rough at the clubhouse for glass.” I go over and sit on the floor next to her and we sort through more boxes than I own, and this is just Christmas decorations. It’s going to take a little getting used to.
Chapter 10
Shine
As soon as I walk in the clubhouse, DaVine is on me. A few more steps and Dizzy has joined her. Con is not helping, following behind us and making whipping sounds. I finally get to the bar and shake the women off. I climb on top of the bar. I want everyone to hear this. I whistle loudly to get everyone’s attention.
“I want everyone to hear this and understand it. I am claiming Katie Walton. She is staying with Lil and Cap and she will be around soon. She is mine. I am hers. That means I am no longer interested or need any other female. If any of you bitches harass or confront her, I will be sure it is the last time. She will be wearing my patch as soon as she adapts. Anyone have a problem with it, talk to me.” I hop off the bar and wait for the flood of questions, but I didn’t expect DaVine’s reaction.
“What do you mean your claiming someone? I’ve been sucking your cock for two years. If anyone is getting your patch, it is me. I will not be disrespected like that, so you better think again.” DaVine has moved over close to me and is trying to rub on me. “Could you really give me up just like that?” She is being whiney and she is biting on her bottom lip like it is sexy. It looks ridiculous.
“Yes, and I already have. Never made you one promise. Told you exactly what we were. Now get over it or leave.” It’s that cut and dry for me.
“She can be your wife, but I will be your old lady. I can stay here in the club. I don’t mind sharing, but I won’t give you up.” This bitch is crazy.
“You never had me DaVine. We were what we were. You have fucked every one of my brothers and I don’t want you. I want her and I will have her. Stay the hell away or I will put you out. Now get away from me and do not try to touch me again, or there will be consequences. End of story.” I move to the other end of the bar by Zig Zag and Con. She sulks over to a table with Dizzy and Bubbles. Maybe she’ll get it the first time.
“That was kind of harsh brother.” Con is riding me again.
“Con, I don’t believe in threatening women, but I want Katie. I won’t let anyone stop that from happening. DaVine was not going to take no for an answer. I had to make her believe I would be harsh with her. I just don’t want it to come to a big confrontation and scare Katie away.” He shakes his head.
“You have it bad, brother. I hope it works for you.” Con is being serious, which he hardly ever is.
“I hope she is what you expect. Her background would make you think she is an innocent. You may have to take it slow.” Zig Zag is right and I can do that. I have all the time in the world to be patient. I watch Cap and Shark come out of Cap’s office and make their way over to us.
