all?"
"What were you humming?"
The unexpected question threw me off. "Oh. Um. I think it was Common People."
He cracked a small grin. I felt like I melted right there. His body was an incredible turn-on, but that grin turned me into a mindless puddle. I suddenly didn't want to just climb him like a tree - I wanted to kiss him. "You have good taste in music."
"Thanks." I tried to turn the charm back on. "Want to talk about our favorite songs?"
He looked like he was considering it, but the moment passed, and with it the humor in his face faded. "Not tonight." And he shut the door.
I stood there a moment. Too good for a club bitch?
Whatever. I'd steal Gunner back from Dawn. That would soothe my pride, and it would pretty much be doing her a favor.
I shrugged at Bill as I re-entered the bar. He shrugged back Oh well. I glanced around for another likely victim. Bars and Anchor were both with their wives (not that either of them were especially unfaithful, anyway). Bill was with Veronica for the evening. I sidled up to his son, Jester, but he shrugged me away. I’d heard he was having trouble with some lady, so I didn’t push him. Mort was in loud drunk mode already, which meant if I took him to a room, he’d fall asleep on drool on me before I could get his belt buckle undone. More importantly, he’d be incoherent and forget to tip Nella for me. Cheapskate is what he is.
That left Irish and Gunner. Both were still flirting with Dawn, though Irish was too busy working the bar to talk much. He’d be working late - so that solidified my plan to steal Gunner away. Besides, she’s the new girl - if anyone should entertain the Prospect later, it should be her.
I chose a few more songs on the jukebox before heading over to the two of them and standing at Gunner’s shoulder. Dawn was leaning back against the bar, arching her back, putting her ample chest on display. I touched his arm.
“You guys seem to be getting on.”
"He was telling me about some of the club rules," Dawn said.
"Like what?"
Dawn bit her bottom lip, looking every bit the bimbo blond who couldn't form a thought herself. I knew the act, though. "Never touch a man's colors," she said, and Gunner nodded his approval. "Never go in the club room without permission. Oh, and if you're not a member, you still have to work for the club to be in the club circle."
I nodded. "Sounds about right."
"And Dawn wants to work for her place. Don't you?" Gunner groped her ass, earning another simpering giggle.
"She traveled a long way today, Gunner," I said. "I'm sure she needs some rest tonight."
"I'm not tired," she pouted.
Gunner smirked. "She's not tired."
Well... oh well . I shrugged and started to back away. "Hang out with us," Gunner said, grabbing my wrist, "We'll teach her the rest of the rules somewhere a little more quiet."
Playing coy was dumb as hell, but I could go along with it. "Sure," I said casting my eyes around the room for Nella. She rolled her eyes at me knowingly and waved, signaling "go ahead."
"Lead the way," I said, and Gunner gripped both of our wrists and led us towards the back rooms.
I spared a glance at Theo's door as we passed. For some irrational reason, I didn't want him to see us - to see me. But his room remained quiet and we moved on to Gunner's preferred guest room.
It was no different from a hotel room, with one large bed, a dresser with a television, and a small table with two chairs.
Gunner dropped onto the bed on his back with a groan.
"Why don't you two get to know each other while I get comfortable?"
The blond girl merely raised her eyebrows at me, unsurprised by his request. She's been around the block, I'd say . I wasn't particularly into girls but she was pretty enough, though a little bony for my own tastes.
Still, my blood warmed as I pulled Dawn in for a kiss. Putting on a show for the intimidating biker got me going. I could feel Gunner's eyes drinking us in a Dawn's thin glossy lips slid across my
