Viking laughed. “Did you leave her tied up this morning?”
King’s smile widened. “She left without telling me or any of the brothers where she was going yesterday. Even worse, she had turned off location sharing. That was not only dangerous but stupid. It doesn’t matter that she made it home safely. Like I told her, she could’ve been hurt in an accident, or worse. She’s out in the clubhouse having a couple of drinks, but she knows she’s in trouble.”
Viking understood King’s worry for Ayesha. There were a lot of people the MC had pissed off who would love to get their hands on the Prez’s wife as a way to retaliate. “I’m sure you’ve shown her the error of her ways.”
King paused at the door to the clubhouse, one hand on the doorjamb as he looked over his shoulder. “Don’t forget what I said. You listen to her and hear what she says.”
“Yes, sir,” Viking said, giving a mock salute.
King flipped him the bird, walking out the door without another word.
Viking slammed the last of his drink as he followed King out the door with Duke and Traeger behind him. His gaze found Jinx by the bar, surrounded by several of the ladies. Her head tippedback as she laughed while T-Rex passed out what appeared to be Jello shots. King reached the group first, picking up Ayesha and settling her on his lap like she was an extension of his body.
He eased in behind Jinx’s chair, placing his hands on her shoulders. Leaning down, he put his lips next to her ear. “Are you having fun, Baby?”
Jinx leaned into his lips, tilting her head to the side to give him better access. “I actually am. These ladies have been so nice. And T has been the best waiter a group could ask for.”
T-Rex gave a shrug, holding up his empty tray. “I do what I can to please the ladies. Of course, I draw the line at taking my clothes off in public settings. That’s only for Lux’s eyes. Right, ma chère?”
Lux lifted her glass. “That’s right. Only me and our babies get to see all your glorious nakedness.”
“Lux and T-Rex have some amazing pets. Will have to introduce you to them one day.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
Jinx could tell by the strain in Viking's body he didn’t get the best news in his meeting.
“Is everything okay?” she asked, too low for the others to hear.
He pressed a kiss to her cheek. “It will be. You ready to get out of here?”
King stood with Ayesha over his shoulder. “We’ll see all of you tomorrow.”
She smiled as he turned with Ayesha grinning back at them. “We are doing a tattoo and tequila date soon, bitches,” Ayesha crowed.
King slapped Ayesha’s ass with a firm swat, the sound echoing around them. Jinx jumped slightly in her seat, but her new friend sighed. “We’ll discuss the details of your excursion, my love, after your punishment.”
“Yes, King,” Ayesha said. Jinx would swear the woman purred like a contented cat.
“We’ll see you tomorrow afternoon. If you need anything, give me a call.” Viking held his hand out for Jinx.
Jinx followed Viking through the clubhouse. There were a lot of men and women sitting around drinking or on the dance floor. Many couples were unapologetically making out, while some ladies appeared to be alone and stared daggers at her. She tried not to stare too hard, wondering if it was against the rules. Viking went over the basic shit, but little things like how to act inside the club hadn’t been on it.
“Hey. Why’re you so stiff?” Viking asked once they were in the same hallway they’d entered from earlier.
“I feel like a fish out of water.”
He turned, pushing her back against the wall between two doors. “What do you mean? I thought you were comfortable with the women?”
Jinx looked into his intense blue eyes. With his hair pulled back, showing off his shaved sides, he exudes the Viking vibe more than ever. In fact, she thought he was one of the sexiest men she’d ever laid eyes on. Add in his bad boy attire with the black leather cut, his tattoos on full display, she could barely contain herself.
Viking snapped his fingers. “I asked you a question, Vakker. I expect an answer.”
She shivered at his dominant tone. “Are you going to toss me over your shoulder and spank my ass if I don’t?”
His eyes widened. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you?”
Jinx found herself nodding. “Only in a playful way. I don’t think I’d like it all the time or anything like that.”
