But she wouldn't have to put up with him forever, she promised herself.
Hopefully, he was done taking her on Cusclan business.She inhaled deeply.There was no reason for her to go, but for some reason, Sonny refused to listen to her.He'd told her she needed to ride behind him, even though she was the only female there.
It scared her to be around the others when they were conducting business.Mom always told her not to pay attention to what the men were doing.Because if they realized she understood what they were doing, they'd get rid of her, just like they get rid of their enemies.
Chapter 3
Baddy had barely steppedthrough the clubhouse doors when he heard his name barked across the main room.
"Office.Now."
Kodiak Black rarely raised his voice, but when he did, it cut through the music, laughter, and clatter of bottles.Baddy pushed past a few prospects sweeping up last night's mess and headed down the hall.
Light spilled out in a thin line across the floor from the office.Baddy knocked once and stepped inside.
Kodiak sat behind the scarred wooden desk, elbows planted, fingers steepled.His dark hair was pulled back, jaw tight, eyes sharp in a way that told Baddy this wasn't going to be a casual conversation.
"Close it," Kodiak said.
Baddy shut the door and crossed his arms."What's going on?"
Kodiak exhaled through his nose.A breath filled with annoyance and resignation."Cusclan got a hold of me late last night."
Baddy's brows lifted."Yeah?Thought they wanted nothing to do with our proposal."
"They changed their mind."Kodiak frowned."They want to accept the deal."
"The hell they do."Baddy pushed off the door."Why not say that to our faces?"
No matter the motorcycle club, all business was done face-to-face and closed with a handshake once an agreement was made.
"They want twenty percent profit," Kodiak added.
Baddy scoffed so hard it came out like a laugh."Twenty?They're out of their damn minds.Ten is customary.Always has been."
"I know."Kodiak rubbed a hand over his beard."But I discussed this with Cruz before I called you into the office.The buyback for parts is hot right now.Real hot.We're making more than six times what we did last year for the same amount of shipments."
