Chapter Four

“What about him?”Lidiaasked.

Pat couldn’t believe he had been talked into going to the bar the following Friday night.Lidia had insisted he owed her, and he didn’t want to sit around at the club with several of the pussy trying to throw themselves at him.He was not interested in club pussy.There was a lot he was no longer interested in.

“For a good time.He’s looking for some sex, that is all.”

Lidia seemed to think he had a sixth sense when it came to men, and he didn’t.Some men were after a good time, a fight, or looking for that life partner.Admittedly, the former was a rarity at a bar, but it could happen.

Bull had found Maddie at the bar.Admittedly, she had been screwed over on a date, but that didn’t matter.

Pat didn’t find anyone at the bar.He came, had a drink, got bored, and often left.Lidia insisted he help her find Mister Right.

She scrunched up her nose and then sat at the bar and sighed.“If you didn’t want to help me, you could have just said so.”

“I did say so, and you nagged and kept nagging.”

“You were going to do nothing all night long.I know you, Pat.”

“You don’t know me.”

“So, you were happy to just watch a couple of women throw themselves at you, and then do the whole public sex porn thing?”

Pat frowned.“Public sex porn thing?”

“Yeah, and don’t think I haven’t seen it.I have.”

He wasn’t going to deny it.The club brothers and the girls that stayed at the club all knew the score.They had to be loyal to club dick, but that was all.They were not going to be old ladies.They were not going to get anything more than a good time.They were taken care of.The club made sure their every need was catered to, and all they had to be was available.Some women would have found it demeaning, but the women who stuck around loved it.

Pat didn’t mind.Women could do whatever the fuck they wanted to do.He took a drink of his beer.

It was getting cold out.There had been no repercussions from burning down the farm.That was not all the club had done.Four more locations had gone up in flames.All were empty, but it was a start.William had gone, leaving Carnage.Pat didn’t trust him.He didn’t know if he would try and strike a deal with the cartel, or just run, leaving them high and dry.Either way, the club no longer had a choice.It was going to come to either the club or the cartel.

“Come on, Pat, you have got to give me something here,” Lidia said.“I don’t want to grow old and lonely and miserable, and you were the one that told me I would find a guy.”

Fuck!He had been the one to tell her that, after Grant and Aria had gotten married.Lidia had been so emotional that day.She loved her best friend and was so happy for her, but it made her realize that she wanted to find a man like Grant, but not Grant.It made sense at the time but Lidia was known for rambling.

He’d been saying the right thing—the kind things—and moments like this reminded him why he had to stay fucking quiet.That kind of shit always seemed to get him into trouble and bite him in the ass.Spinning around, he was pretty sure Lidia fist-pumped the air in victory.
