brawling.
Thirty minutes later, cop cars had arrived and arrests were being made. Shane and Liam were taken to the local lockup with all of the four brothers.
Cursing the unfairness of her first time out as a girl on a date, Claire wanted to stomp on their balls. The fight had nothing to do with them.
Claire and Cassidy rode in the same truck all the way down to the station. They gave their statements, and because their men were in the same room behind bars, they were both taken to see them. Even Michael had been locked up.
“Thank god. Please tell me you posted bail,” Shane said.
Michael and the brothers stared at Cassidy. Grabbing her hand to make a stand together, Claire spoke. “We haven’t posted your bail. None of your bail. The cops have told us you can’t come out until morning. They explained it all, but I can’t remember. I’ll pick you guys up in the morning. One of the cops did say that you’d have to do some sort of community service.” Claire dragged the other woman out of the room. The men shouted after them.
Claire drove to the ranch.
“You can take me home,” Cassidy said.
“I know. I don’t want to be alone tonight.” Claire let her in and made a pot of tea.
“I can’t believe we left them in the cell.”
Claire agreed. When she got Liam and Shane, they’d be pissed with her. One of their past agreements had been if they were ever in trouble with the law, they’d make sure to post immediate bail. In their agreements, they never said anything about being possessive pricks over a different woman.
“They’re going to hate us.”
Claire shrugged her shoulders. “They were in the wrong tonight. They shouldn’t have fought. They’ll get over it with time.”
She didn’t tell the other woman about Shane and his hatred of small spaces. The cell would be killing him inside. She had to figure out a way to get him to open up. Being nice to him and treating their encounters as if they never happened hadn’t worked.
She had to push up the pressure.
Going to bed, she stared at the ceiling for the longest time. In the cooler hours of the morning, she started to doubt her decision.

“When I get my hands onto that woman, I’m going to spank her ass so damn bad she won’t be able to sit down for a month,” Shane said.
Liam burst out laughing. The thought of seeing Claire across his friend’s knees while the bigger guy gave her a spanking was fucking hilarious.
“What’s so funny?”
“You. Never in your life would you hurt Claire. You’ll do your usual self and give her a dose of the silent treatment.” Liam leaned back and closed his eyes. His jaw ached from the few punches he’d received. Getting into a fight had been a huge mistake and one he hoped never to repeat.
“Don’t think I won’t. She left us here.” Shane paced the cell. The Walker men sat on the floor of their cell, shooting glares at Michael.
“And you don’t think we deserved it?” Liam asked.
“We got into a fight. It’s what men do.”
“No. We got into a pissing contest to see who had the biggest dick. Might I remind you over a girl who we don’t even want,” Liam informed his friend.
“Why can’t you guys stay away from Cassidy? She doesn’t need or want any of your trouble.” Michael growled.
“I don’t see her bailing your ass out of here,” Scott Walker said.
“Who gives a fuck what she wants,” Shane shouted. Liam watched his friend, amazed at the anger within him.
“Claire will get us in the morning,” Liam said. “You might as well get some sleep.”
Shane sat beside him, his legs bouncing to an unknown beat.
“Seriously. Don’t you know how to sit still?”
“I can’t help it. We agreed if we ever ended up in the station, one of us would bail the other out.”
Liam laughed. Since being locked up in a jail cell, Shane had turned into a complainer. “Are you really going to hold that against her when we’ve done so much stuff against what
