“I didn’t invite her,” Diesel said blandly.
“Come with me, Jana, love,” Aunt Meggie said. “Let Diesel and Tabitha talk.”
“No, Aunt Meggie,” Diesel said. “Tabitha’s leaving.”
The club girls giggled.
“You promised Bash you’d give me six months!” Tabitha wailed.
Diesel gritted his teeth. “I’m going to talk to him about that. Tell him not to let it interfere with anything.”
“Your ma about to get the cake and I gotta get your fuckin’ present, Diesel,” Uncle Christopher growled. “You got ten minutes to straighten this the fuck up or Ima fuckyouup.”
Meggie returned to the kitchen while Uncle Christopher and the guys who’d been at the table walked outside.
Diesel threw his pool cue aside and stalked to Tabitha, grabbing her arm and shoving her. “Get the fuck out of here, cunt. You didn’t get a fucking invitation for a reason.”
“I can’t see what that is. I’m your wife. I should be in that treehouse. Instead, you’re fucking this pathetic slut.” Tabitha nodded to Jana.
“You both want me. Only one of you has me.Jana. I think that makesyouthe pathetic slut,” Diesel said.
Tabitha ignored Diesel’s insult. She didn’t even flinch. “When are you moving back to the condo? I want a baby.”
“You can want what the fuck ever,” Diesel sneered. “You have a baby, it won’t be mine.”
“You’re going to regret humiliating me,” Tabitha said coldly.
“The only fucking thing I regret is laying eyes on your miserable fucking face. I fuckingloathyou. My cock couldn’t even get hard to make a baby with you.”
“Your cock could get hard if you were in minus fifty-degree water,” Tabitha said bitterly, jabbing her finger at the girls lined up and watching the spectacle. “That’s why you fuck all these sluts.”
Diesel gripped Tabitha’s hips and yanked her close. Seeing the way he held her turned Jana’s stomach. “The only slut I’ve fucked isyou.”
“I never sucked dick for twenty fucking dollars like Miss Pussy Licker.” Once again, she nodded to Jana. “Now, you take me somewhere and talk to me like you have fucking sense, Diesel, or I’m humiliating her a little more.”
“Pssst, Reb,” Axel called before Diesel responded. “C’mere.”
Tabitha turned and curved her mouth into a cold smile as Rebel passed by her, heading for the steps to go to where Axel stood next to the jukebox.
“Well, Little Rebel.”
Rebel smiled as coldly as Tabitha. “How much do you value your fucking life?”
“Diesel can’t kill me, Rebbie.”
“Am I Diesel’s daughter, bitch? You want to see how fucking fast I can have your goddamn brain on the wall if you keep fucking with me?”
“Are you a murderer now in addition to a homewrecker?”
“I couldn’t wreck what was already fucking destroyed, Tabi Cat.”
Axel stomped to Rebel and pulled her to the jukebox.
“Go away, Jana,” Tabitha ordered. “Diesel’s only with you out of pity.”
Jana’s face burned with humiliation and tears pricked her eyes, but Diesel finally walked to her and tucked her against him.
“I’m with Jana because of how I feel about her, Tabitha,” he barked. “And it definitely isn’t pity.”
