Viper's Kiss by London Casey, Karolyn James Page B

his hands
together, two middle fingers up.
    “ Pay
up, asshole, ” he yelled to
Jace.
    “ Fuck, ” Jace said. He took out a twenty
and threw it on the pool table.
    “ Double
it and I ’ ll tag another, ” Blaine called out.
    “ Triple
it and I ’ ll do it, ” Jessa said.
    The entire bar almost went silent.
    Women didn ’ t speak out of place in the clubhouse. Unless they
were old ladies and claimed by someone, they were there for two things. Serving
drinks and sucking dick. They were relievers and nothing else. Shit,
even if a chick was topless, she wasn ’ t
supposed to talk out of place.
    And here was Jessa, standing up,
downing a mug of beer, and pointing to the dartboard.
    Blaine grabbed her wrist and tugged
at her. “ Hey, sweetheart,
you don ’ t know how it works
around here. You can ’ t just …”
    “ You ’ re on, little tits, ” Trev said.
    “ What
the fuck did you just say? ” Blaine said as he stood up. He grabbed Jessa ’ s
empty mug. “ I ’ ll bash your fucking skull with
this, Trev. ”
    “ What? ” Trev said. “ She ’ s wearing a goddamn blanket on her. What ’ s she got hiding under there?
Money? Drugs? A wire? Come on …”
    Blaine felt his blood boiling. “ You ’ re an asshole, Trev. ”
    “ She ’ s got herself a big mouth,
talking like that. Let ’ s see
how big …”
    Blaine threw the mug in the air. He
then took out his gun and shot the mug. The gunshot boomed and glass hit the
floor like a hailstorm.
    “ I ’ m not playing fucking games, ” Blaine growled.
    “ Whoa, ” Jace said. “ Jesus, Blaine … if she ’ s …”
    “ Give
me the dart, ” Jessa said.
    Blaine watched as Jessa walked
right into the group of bikers.
    She really has no fucking clue …
    Jessa walked to the dartboard and
grabbed the dart. She then backed up to the line.
    “ Wait
a second, ” Trev said. He
grabbed Jessa by the hips and pulled her back another inch. “ Even the pussy has to follow the
rules. ”
    Blaine made fists and took a step.
A hand grabbed his arm and he spun to face Miller.
    “ What
is this? ” Miller asked.
    “ This
is my problem. A situation from my past. ”
    “ Jesus
Christ, Blaine, ” Miller
said. “ After what we …”
    “ She ’ s afraid of something. An old
thing. ”
    “ Do
I need to know? ”
    “ If
you do, I ’ ll bring it to
the table. This is some old shit that needs to go away. ”
    “ We
have heat again here, Blaine. Eight Under is regrouping. I made a couple calls
and it looks like they ’ re
being worked. I talked to Gaige about it and I wanted to talk to you. You ’ re on my left, brother. I can ’ t let you slide on any
information. ”
    “ Okay, ” Blaine said. “ I appreciate it. What do you
need to me do right now? ”
    “ That
woman about to throw a dart … who is she really? ”
    Blaine gritted his teeth. “ Meghan ’ s best friend. ”
    Miller ’ s eyes went wide. “ You ’ re hitting it? ”
    “ No. ”
    “ In
the past? ”
    “ I ’ ve thought about it. Then again,
I ’ m a sick fuck. ”
    “ Jesus,
Blaine. ”
    “ Yeah. ”
    “ Take
your shot, small tits! ” someone called out.
    “ Easy, ” Miller whispered as he made
fists again.
    Blaine watched as Jessa lined up
her throw. She puckered her lips and moved her hair out of the way, tucking it
behind her ear. It made every muscle in Blaine ’ s
body tighten up. He was wildly attracted to her. And it was for all the wrong
reasons. For all the times he wasn ’ t
allowed to touch her. To go after her. All the times he wanted to but fought
that urge. It was like it all built up and just sat there for years.
    Jessa threw the dart. It hit the
board with a thump . About a quarter inch away from the bullseye.
    “ OH! ” Jace yelled and clapped his
hands.
    “ So
close, ” Trev said. “ Sorry …”
    “ Blaine
will pay up, ” Jessa said
with a smile.
    Everyone started to cheer and clap.
    She was fucking with him.
    Miller grabbed Blaine ’ s shoulder.
