Shirleen was Roam and Sniff’s foster momma, though in hermind, there was no “foster” about it and it wouldn’t matter one bit that Roamand Sniff were both long since of age and men in their own right.
She would cut her.
Mac was also not wrong that the Rock Chicks had snagged allthere was of the Hot Bunch.
Maybe Lee was hiring.
“Mac, darlin’, just give it time,” he urged.“And in themeantime, spoil your nephews.Because when you find a man and you startmakin’ your own babies, you won’t have the time for themyou have now, but you’ll love it that you had the time you have now.You dig?”
She gave it a beat before she puckered her lips and blew outa breath.
Then she said, “I’m still going natural.”
She dug.
Crisis averted (or at least this one, he corralledstrippers, bouncers, bartenders and waitresses, they were all young and fit andprone to do stupid shit, so it seemed his entire life was averting disasters).
This one over (for now), Smithie rolled a hand at her,turning his eyes to his desk.“Do whatever you want with your tits.Just giveme some notice.Igottaprepare the staff to adjustto half the amount of asses in seats, I don’t got my headliner.”
“Smithie,” she called.
He turned his eyes back to her.
She was now grinning.
And she had a new declaration.
“You’re the shit.”
“I know thatseein’ as I put upwith your crazy ass.Now get out.I’m not up here twiddling my thumbs.I gotshit to do.”
She kept grinning as she rose from the chair and sashayedher tight ass to his door.
“Close that behind you,” he ordered.
She didn’t close it behind her.
She turned at it and looked to him.
“I’m giving it a year.”
Something else Mac was.
Decisive.
“I’ll take it,” he replied.“Now get out.”
She shot him a white smile that miraculously his retinas hadbuilt up a tolerance to so they weren’t burned out, then she moseyed out thedoor.
Thankfully, she shut it behind her.
Smithie stared hard at it while considering hefting his bulkover to lock it.
He wasn’t going to take the time.
Instead, he picked up the paper, turned it over and read itagain.
It stated, plainly, he was fucked.
