I tried the handle and eased it open a few inches. My gut dropped the second my eyes reached his bed. Davis was dead asleep, sprawled out on the mattress like he didn’t have a care in the world, and right next to him was Chasity, one of the club’s hang-arounds.
She lifted her head, and the second her eyes met mine, I waved her off, letting her know to go back to sleep. I shut the door, and all the good I’d been feeling about my brother went right out the window.
Damn.

PRESLEY
“Be at the clubhouse at seven.”
“What for?”
“Because I said so.”
“You have to give me more than that.”
“I already told you,” he snapped. “They’re having a party, and Luke expects us to be there.”
“I’ve never been to a club party before.”
“It’s just a damn party. Throw on some jeans and something that makes your tits look good.”
“You’re so crude.”
“Well, you could always skip the party and find another way to come up with a hundred grand.”
“I’ll be there.”
“That’s a good girl. And be sure to stop by the liquor store and pick up a fifth of Buffalo Trace.”
Before I could even think about arguing, he ended the call, leaving me even more annoyed. But I sucked it up and went to my room to start getting ready. I was looking for something to wear when Lila Kate came in and plopped down on the bed. “Whatcha doing?”
“Getting ready to go to some stupid party at the clubhouse.”
“Ooohh, can I go?”
“No.”
“But why not?”
“Haven’t you already gotten us into enough trouble?”
“Hey, that’s not fair.”
“But it’s true.” I pulled out a fitted V-neck top and held it up against my chest. “What do you think about this one?”
“Depends on what you’re planning to wear with it.” She jumped up and opened my bottom dresser drawer, pulling out a pair of my distressed jeans. “It’d look great with these.”
“I forgot I had those.” I took them from her hand and held them up. “You don’t think the holes are too much?”
“The holes are what make them cool. You have to fix your hair and wear those big hoop earrings I gave you last Christmas.”
“You don’t think I’ll look out of place?”
“Babe, you’re gonna look out of place no matter what you wear, so you might as well go all out.”
“If you say so.”
