glancing back to see his smirking little brother.

Holden sat at the kitchen table eating his second sandwich. A talkative petite girl name Zoe was sitting at the table with him. She had prepared the food for him. He’d learned that she was happy to no longer be a Snake Swallower and now be considered a Honey. She was also trying desperately to get him interested in her. Getting distracted by a woman who obediently followed the Hells Vipers was not on his list of things to do. “How do you work for the club?” he asked between bites. “Do they pay you?”
“No, I do whatever they tell me to do. Mostly I entertain guests of the club. I also sell things for them. It’s not a job, job. It means they expect more from me now.”
“What do you sell, their 822 supporter stuff?”
Zoe laughed, “No silly, pussy and anything else they tell me to. Well, sometimes I sell their supporter gear. I cook, clean. I think I’ll make a good old lady to someone. I can be loyal. Just need to find the right guy.” Zoe continued to sell herself, Holden realized, feeding him her profile along with a sandwich.
“I’m sure a beautiful girl like you won’t have any trouble finding the right man.”
Zoe beamed at the compliment, thinking Holden seemed a lot nicer than Nuke. “Do you want me to suck your dick?”
Holden stop in mid-chew. “Um, I uh, I’ve been shot.”
“You were shot in your dick?” A concerned look covered her face as she bent over to glance under the table.
He laughed, nearly choking on the sandwich. “No, no. I’m saying I don’t know if I’m up to it. I recently lost someone dear to me. I do appreciate the offer.”
“Oh, okay. Well we can try when you’re finished eating if you want. I’m good at it, ask Nuke. He’s fucked me, too. These guys love my pussy.”
Holden was taken aback. “His wife is cool with that or she doesn’t know?”
“It was before he got with her,” Zoe replied.
“Oh, so what’s she like, his wife? I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting her yet.”
She turned up the corner of her mouth with a smile that said more than he knew she intended. “She’s alright. We’re cool and all, but we don’t hang out or anything. She’s an old lady; you know how they can be.”
“Actually, no, I don’t. How are they?”
She twirled the end of her multi-colored blondish hair. “I don’t know.” She glanced behind her. “Do you have any more brothers?”
She seemed a bit nervous about speaking ill of Nuke’s wife. “No,” Holden said before his attention immediately went to the stunning woman who had just walked into the kitchen. Exotic beauty was an understatement. Her long dark hair hung just past her shoulders. She barely had on any makeup except black eyeliner and lip gloss. Her skin was smooth like caramel. She did not belong here. Maybe she was…he couldn’t think of a valid reason for her to be here.
He liked the way her jeans fit each curve of her body as did her plain grey jersey shirt, which clung to her full breasts. Even the brown biker boots she wore had the right amount of scuff to them. They seemed fashionable on her, not like worn out boots.
She walked toward the table. He was eager to find out her story, but the hard look in her eyes caused him to pause.
“Hello, Jasmine!” Zoe called over to her. Then she cut her eyes over to Holden with a slight nod.
“Hello! You’re… married to my brother?” He attempted to stand up and greet her but the pain forced him to sit back down. “It’s nice to meet you.” Holden gripped his side as he studied the woman in front of him.
“Nice to meet you, too,” Jasmine said, trying to be pleasant even though everything she knew about Holden was racing through her mind. “I’m not what you were expecting, huh? I get that a lot.”
“No, you’re not. Did you marry him on purpose or did he force you to marry him?” Holden laughed.
“On purpose,” Jasmine replied not amused by his
