Roxy opens the back door and slips inside.She smirks at me when she catches me staring at Dixie.She’s still wearing the same outfit she was back in the Saloon and I silently thank God for making my life slightly easier.
If Roxy were wearing Dixie’s outfit, there would be no stopping her at McHugh’s.Roxy’s too outgoing.Too unpredictable.She’ll take risks and chances just to tick us off or push our buttons.
Dixie’s more reserved.She won't go out of her way to make my life difficult… As long as I don’t give her a reason to.If you upset her, she’s harder to deal with than Roxy and Oakley combined.
Porter raised strong-willed daughters.I know it was difficult for him to run the club while raising them alone after his wife died, but he did it without ever complaining.He wanted his daughters to be strong, confident, and able to take care of themselves.He made sure they wouldn’t take crap from anyone and it shows in every move they make.
“Why is she dressed like that?”I groan as I think of how many men will try to get their hands on Dixie.
The corset accentuates her narrow waist and shows off her perfect curves.The leather pants hug her like a second skin, leaving little to the imagination.
“She wants to find a man, I'm helping her do that.”Roxy’s smirk widens even more.
“She won't find the man she wants dressed like this and you know it,” I growl.“Guys will be all over her.”
“Yup!And you’re just going to sit by and watch.”
“Not if they touch her.”
“Not if they touch herwithout her permission.” Roxy points a finger in my face and wiggles her eyebrows.
“Stop poking the bear, Honey Badger,” Chopper singsongs.
“Did you seriously just call me a Honey Badger?”Roxy’s voice drops dangerously low.
“Rox, baby, if you had to identify with only one animal in the entire world, you’re a honey badger.Just accept it and move on.”Chopper smirks as he glances over his shoulder at Roxy.
The prospects chuckle from the backseat.They know they could never get away with saying something like that to the Reeves triplets.
“Oh, I'm sorry.Did you want to get your face bashed in today?”Roxy spins in her seat to face them.Her glare is enough to make them sober and stop laughing.
“No, ma’am.Chopper isn't even a little bit funny,” the blonde kid, Jasper, says.His wide eyes show how terrified he is of Roxy.
“Yeah, we were laughing about how hard you’re probably going to smack him when we get out of this car.”The black-haired kid, Morris, swallows hard.I chuckle as I watch them in the rearview mirror.They haven’t found their balls yet.
“I'm sure,” Roxy grumbles under her breath.She spins back around with a huff and folds her arms across her chest.
“Tonight’s going to be so much fun,” I mumble under my breath.
I lift the glass of bourbon to my lips and swallow.The burn momentarily distracts me from the men fawning all over Dixie.
“Do you think she just tries to drive me crazy?”Chopper nods towards the girls.They’re in the center of the dance floor with men surrounding them.
“I think the three of them try to drive everyone crazy,” I grumble as I take another sip of my alcohol.I’ll need a lot more of this if I'm supposed to stay in my seat and not march over there, throw Dixie over my shoulder, and stomp out to the car.
Dixie’s sandwiched between Oakley and Roxy.They’re dancing more sensually than I’ve ever seen women dance before.Every guy in this place has their eyes on them and no one else.
One takes a step closer and reaches for Roxy’s wrist.Chopper growls and jumps to his feet, but I stop him before he races over and punches the guy in the face, starting a fight in the middle of this place without his cut on.
I know the four of us can hold our own, but I'm not getting into a fight with dozens of men.We’re more than outnumbered and I don’t feel like being sore tomorrow.I'm too old for this crap.
“Calm down,” I hiss as I yank him back to his seat.
Roxy smiles up at the guy, but when he tries to slip his arm around her waist, it disappears.Before he can do anything else, she pinches a spot on his bicep and his face crumbles.It’s a pressure point that causes intense pain and will make it so he can't use that arm for the next few minutes.He backs away slowly, never taking his eyes off of her.
“See, she’s fine.I promised we wouldn’t get involved unless they needed us.”
Oakley says something in Dixie’s ear, then she heads towards the bar.I know I should be watching her, but I can't seem to take my gaze off the breathtaking woman in front of me.
