Chapter Ten
“How long do you thinkyou’re going to be angry with him?”Hunter asked, looking toward Smokey, who was staring down at the pool table.
“If you’re trying to distract me, shut the fuck up,” Smokey said, lining the point of his pool stick with the white ball, about to make a hit that would land him in the lead.
“Not trying to distract you, I just know now is not the time for us all to be divided,” Hunter said.
“We’re not divided.”Smokey potted the ball and smirked.He was now in the lead.
“We’re not?No one is talking to Big Dick.Someone clearly took his phone, and we all know it’s Cadeon, so there’s no guessing about that shit.Within a single video, Cadeon has managed to do what no one else ever has, and that is to tear us a-fucking-part.”
“Look, I know people are pissed off with Big Dick, and we all have a right to be.That doesn’t mean it’s going to be easy to attack the club.”
“Right, right, where’s Big Dick right now?”Hunter asked.
Smokey frowned and looked toward his VP.“What the fuck is that supposed to mean?”
“It means there was a time when you knew where everyone was, and you had eyes in the back of your head.What happened to that?”
It meant he was pissed off with Big Dick right now.Out of all the women that came to the fucking club, why did he have to stick his dick inside Larissa?There were plenty of willing women.
He’d told Jonah she’d be okay.He fucking vowed she would be, and instead it made him look like a liar, like he had no control over his men, or at least one man.
“He’s got some shit he needs to deal with.”
Hunter nodded.“You’re going to punish him forever.”
“He shouldn’t have touched her, Hunter.What more do you want me to fucking say?”
“We shouldn’t be getting involved with what was going on,” Hunter said.“Our main focus has to be the club’s safety.”
“My wife has no one right now.”
“Harlow is pitching in when she can.”
“But she’s pregnant and can only do so much.Larissa was amazing, okay?She helped my wife, and she could be trusted.I can’t just pull anyone off the streets and demand they help my wife.”Smokey ran a hand down his face.“I fucking failed her.”
He hated to admit it, once again.Ava deserved everything good.He’d put her through the fucking worst thing a man could put his wife through.She’d not been his wife when he had her tortured, because he had thought her as a traitor.It had been the biggest mistake of his life—one he would never forget, and it killed him.
Now, he’d vowed to always be there for her, to help her, and because Big Dick and fucking Carlos couldn’t be civilized and not make fucking bets, they’d lost Larissa.It pissed him off, which is why he wasn’t interested in whatever the fuck Big Dick was doing.He’d ordered him to stay the fuck away from Larissa and Jonah.
Jonah had shocked him, the way he’d torn off his collar and came to punish Big Dick.There had always been more to Jonah than met the eye, he just didn’t realize how much.He should have known, because over the years, that man had not shown a single ounce of emotion, no fear when it came to the club.Most men were terrified.
“You didn’t fail her, man,” Hunter said.
“I don’t know what we’re going to do.She wants to go to Larissa, but I don’t know if it is too soon.I’m thinking of putting out an advertisement, but again, am I reacting too soon?What if Larissa wants her job back?”He blew out a breath.
“You know, you could just go and talk to Larissa,” Hunter said.
“I’m sure she doesn’t want to see me.”
