Bogs smirked. “I accept your nomination.”
T shook his head, uttering, “Asshole.”
“What am I missing?”
Stone stepped forward. “Bogs has got a hard on for the friend.”
Trent and Declan shifted their attention to Bogs. He wasn’t going to deny he had a small thing for the gorgeous green-eyed beauty but he really was the only choice.
“Bogs, brother, this is some serious shit. Not trying to cock-block here, but this is business. Can’t have your dick fucking it up.” Trent smirked. “No pun intended.”
Bogs shoved his hands in his pockets, eyeing the group of men. He was the only sensible choice. “Alright. Then who’s taking her?” He turned to Stone. “I’m sure Sadie wouldn’t mind, right? You could put Kenzie in the spare room right next to yours.” Bogs smiled, watching Stone sigh heavily.One down.
“Nah, that won’t work.” He paused then turned to T. “You can take her, man. I’m sure Cassie, who’s all hormonal with her baby juices and about to pop any second, wouldn’t mind you bringing home Kenzie.”
“No fucking way I’m taking her.”
That was a fact. Bogs tightened his lips from laughing. Bogs turned to Declan but didn’t get a chance to deliver his monologue for Evie. Of all the wives, Evie was the sweetest and probably wouldn’t mind helping out but still she was a woman.
“No,” Declan said.
“That leaves you or me, Trent. I’m sure Kenzie would be no problem at all while you are chasing down Taylor.”
Trent stared back at him with the corner of his lips curving. He knew there was no way he’d be able to successfully track down Taylor with Kenzie around.
Gotcha, boys!
“Then that leaves you, Bogs.” The sarcastic tone in his voice held a slight warning.
“Assholes, I appreciate the lack of confidence you have in me.” Bogs chuckled and walked out the door. Heavy footsteps followed. He strolled down the hall to the conference room but stopped when T’s hand grabbed his forearm.
“Let me handle this. Need you to keep your mouth shut.”
Bogs snickered. “What do ya think I’m gonna do?”
T stared at him as if he was reading him. “You got something with this girl?”
“I just met her, same as you, at the apartment. She’s hot but I won’t risk it for her, if that’s what you’re asking.” He also wouldn’t allow the usual scare tactics T used. He would be merely a buffer between the two.
“Saw you in the back with her.”
“Yeah, so. She was freaked out, man. I was trying to calm her.”
“Yeah, well, I don’t need you trying to calm her when we get inside.”
“Have a little fucking faith, T. I know how this is gonna go down.”
T watched him trying to read deception. Bogs knew his brother would go hard at her and try to scare Kenzie into giving up Taylor. Of all the Garrisons, Bogs was the most sensitive, especially when it came to the women. He could be as mean as the rest of them but it took a lot to get him there.
T pulled him away from the door and unlocked it before entering. Bogs followed.
Kenzie was sitting in the same seat as when they left. Her head was resting on her arm on the table. She immediately sat back and her eyes widened as they entered the room. Fear. Her chest rose quickly and she pulled her hands into her lap. It was a faint move, not visible to someone who wasn’t watching but her body sunk into the chairas she eyed T.
“Two choices. I suggest you make the right one and save your own ass. You either call that bitch up and get her location, or we take you back to the club and hand your ass over to Dante.” T leaned his fists on the table getting into her space. “Choose.”
Bogs slowly moved around the table, staying close to the wall. He needed to gauge her face and see where she was at with her mindset. T would push harder if needed. Her stare shifted to Bogs. She was beyond scared. If ever someone pleaded with their eyes, she was doing it. Bogs clenched his jaw, tightened his face into a stern glare. If she sensed he’d have her back, she’d stay quiet.
T’s hand slammed on the table making her jump in her seat. “Gimme a fucking answer before I make one for you.”
