“The day I fucked Lacey I found out that I have a low sperm count and it messed with my head.” As I watch Inferno, he does not give anything away. “Fuck, I messed up big time Inferno. I never spoke about it to Cassie.”
Shame has me closing my eyes. Each day I wish I could wash away the look on Cassie’s face after she had found me in bed with another woman. “We’re looking at different options. Treatment and stuff.” Swallowing the toffee I turn my gaze in to the room, locating Cassie before I continue. “Adoptions one of them and I’m not sure if I can do that. Not knowing anything about them. Yet I know, I will never say no to Cassie, if that’s the only option we have left.”
“Speak with Sundance. He spent his life in care. Ask him how he would have felt if someone had offered him a permanent home.”
Sundance is the quiet sort. Always observing what is going on around him. However, tonight he is having fun with the night’s entertainment. A fountain of ghost stories are kept inside his head. Stories he loves to share. Sometime you forget that eleven years ago Twiggy had found him sleeping rough on the streets having run away from another care home, bringing him back to Devil’s Comfort. Where he had at last found a home.
“Yeah, I might do that.”
Hastily I leave Inferno as he turns to speak to Dec, to make my way to Cassie. A commotion behind me catches my attention as the club’s door opens and in walks Kent Winters. He is nineteen years old, about five feet ten, with black hair that could have done with a brush. At Tabby’s request he is now our newest prospect, replacing Trax. Behind Kent is his sister, Rayven. Crabby left the girl he was dancing with to make his way over to her. Only to be roughly shoved to the side by Tabby, who, also has left the whores he was dancing with.
From where I am standing, I watch the drama unfolded. Abruptly Tabby takes hold of Rayven’s arm, almost dragging her to where Cassie and Baby Blu are sitting, before sitting himself next to her.
Finally arriving at the table myself, I haul Cassie up and set her on my knee. My hand stroking her thigh. Both Cassie and Baby Blu are wearing amused expressions at Tabby’s antics. While Rayven glowers at him, rubbing her arm where he had gripped it. Crabby, not to be out done has sauntered over to the table with Inferno. Heedlessly he sits on the opposite side of Rayven, handing her a beer as he leans in to give her a kiss “Happy Birthday Ray.”
Before he can sit himself fully back into his chair Tabby has risen and pulled Crabby up by his jacket lapels, before throwing a punch into his face.
“What the fuck did I tell you about her being out of bounds?”
“Fuck it Tabby. It was a fucking birthday kiss. You didn’t even have the decency to wish the girl a happy birthday before you dragged her across the room in front of everyone.”
Chapter 13
Tabby’s green eyes turn cold “You want her. You have her.” He sneers at Crabby before he rejoins the two whores he was dancing with earlier. Blatantly taking them upstairs.
Appalled by Tabby’s actions, my gaze falls to Rayven. Her face pales at first, before becoming a molten blotchy red. Fuck why are men such imbeciles? And why do they always have to behave in a ridiculous manner.
“Come on Rayven, Baby Blu. Let’s go where there are not any dickheads.” Angel anticipates my request and passes me a bottle of tequila as we pass the bar. Whilst we are mounting the stairs I hear someone’s knuckle make contact with another person’s flesh. Instinctively I turn in time to see Linc knock Crabby to the floor. “Fuck Crabby why the hell did you do that?”
Interested in his reply, I wait on the stairs as Crabby hauls himself off the ground and with a smirk.
“Just giving a gentle push where it’s need VP.”
“That was not a gentle push you fucker. It was waving a red flag at a fucking bull!”
Bemused by Linc’s attitude I quirk my eyebrow at him before joining the girls in my room.
As soon as the door has slammed behind me I open the bottle of tequila and hand a glass to Rayven, while handing a bottle of water to Baby Blu. “Here’s to the Dumb Ass Brothers of Devil’s Comfort and the one brain cell they all share.”
“Sometimes I wish I had never met that man.” Understanding where she is coming from I agree with Rayven’s statement. Baby Blu just lay on the bed, her head against the pillow.
“He will come round.” Turning her gaze towards me. “What about you and Linc?”
“If I asked him to run round Comfort Springs starker’s. I think he would. He wants to please me that much.”
With a deliberate shrug, I continue “The main thing is he’s ready to face his problem and discuss them with me. Which is more than he would do a few weeks ago.” Linc and I have made a breakthrough “He’s also open to the alternative choices we may have to make.”
Yeah, Linc is ready to talk. This time I am the one who keeps delaying making the decision.
“What about the cheating” Rayven pipes in. Way to go girl. Dampen the evening.
When it came to the cheating, I kept convincing myself that it did not matter. With the whore gone, I should be able to put this episode to bed. The hatred I have for Linc’s cheating on me, is making it difficult for me to forget. There’s also the issue of forgiveness, and I am not ready to forgive either.
“I trust him. Why he fucked the whore I will never know. Maybe because he was thinking with the wrong head at the time.”
“Hey this is supposed to be a birthday celebration. Let’s have some fun and get drunk.”
“Cassie are you planning on corrupting the girl?”
“Nah, I plan to leave that to Tabby. Well when he gets his head out of his ass, that is.”
Smiling as her head lowers, Rayven is unable to hide the faint blush which has crept up her cheeks. Yeah it is defiantly a two way thing.
“You know what we need?”
Baby Blu releases a loud groan. “Go on tell us?”
“Another drink.”
“I will not say no.”
The next couple of hours pass as we slowly empty the bottle of tequila and bad mouth the men, planning on how to bring them to their knees. “Shopping.”
“Cassie what are you going on about.”
“We need to take Rayven shopping. Get her kitted out. And we should start with underwear and then a couple of sexy outfits.”
Baby Blu’s face lights up at this idea “Yep Rayven its time to make your move. Anyway I need a couple of new outfits.”
“Ladies. Baby Blu, Inferno’s looking for you. You better get your ass to his room.” Linc’s voice fills the room as he enters without bothering to knock on the door.
“Shit, Rayven you’re in no state to drive home. What will you do?”
“No problem. Kent or Crabby will take me.” When the MC holds a party it soon turns wild and I doubt if either of the men are capable of driving. Linc confirms my suspicions.
“Neither of them are in a fit state to drive Rayven. Kent’s passed out, and the mood Tabby’s in. He will kill Crabby. You’re better off staying here tonight. So let’s go find you a spare room. Oh and Rayven.” Linc produces one of his dark mean looks in her direction. “Lock the door and do not let anybody in and I MEAN anyone.”
Rayven may be a grown woman. This however has not stop Linc’s protective instincts from showing. And that’s why I love Lincoln Davies, and know he will make a great dad. He may live a violent life. But he looks after family. No matter how tenuous the link is.
“And you Mrs Davies had better be ready for me when I return” he leers in my direction as he leaves the room with Baby Blu and Rayven.
It does not take me long to get naked and wait on the bed for the return of my man. The image of how tented his pants were when he left the room has me horny.
Chapter 14
With a low hum, I put the phone back in to my jean pocket, having just confirmed with Rayven that everything was in place for tonight. Boy is my man in for a surprise. As I continue to hum, I collect my things before heading out to Baby Blu
’s.
“Are you sure you do not want to come to the club tonight?” Linc is standing in the hallway where he has being standing since picking me up from work.
The devil in me wants to play. “Baby Blu and I have plans. Football practice, a bottle of wine for me, Chinese and a chick flick. Why don’t you change your mind and join us.”
The look of horror on Linc’s face has me biting on to my lip as I try to prevent the laugh which wants to break free. Taking my face between his large hands. Linc bends his head down to mine and gives me a bone melting kiss. A kiss which taste of caramel. Another hum escapes from me and with a swipe of my tongue over his lips, I lick the sticky residue of the toffee Linc is sucking on. “I thought you were giving those up?”
“My one vice Babe. No way am I giving them up.” He whispers in my ear as he pushes me up against the hall wall, thrusting his legs between mine. Hypnotically I watch Linc’s lips as they sink down on to mine with the intentions of stealing another one of his kisses. This kiss leaves me gasping for air and I playfully slap Linc on the shoulder. “Come on Linc. Put me down before I’m late.” Linc rubs his body up against mine as he frees me. The hard contact of his cock has left me in no doubt, as to what he was after. With a twist of my body he slaps my ass before he leaves for the club.

“OK is everything arranged” I ask Baby Blu, having arrived at her place a half hour ago.
“Yep. Dad’s taking Tommy to football practice and then he’s spending the night there.”
Baby Blu steps back from me. Her eyes clash with mine as she gives me a candid look.
“Are you sure about tonight?”
The swirling vortex in my stomach has me giggling as I give my girl a hug “I have never been so sure about anything the way I am about this.”
Still Baby Blu nibbles on her bottom lip “Think it might be safer for me to stay at my dad’s tonight. Inferno is going to have a fit.” she chuckles
“Is that where you’re going to hide Rayven from Tabby?” With one last spin, I look at my reflection in the mirror. “Well what do you think?”
Still giggling. “Linc will have an aneurysm and then he’s going to kill every male who has the misfortune at been at Tie Me Down.”
“Perfect. Come on its time to go.”
With as much confidence as I was showing Baby Blu, I was feeling just as apprehensive. What I was about to go and do tonight is a first for me. The advantage of owning your own lingerie shop. Is that it has supplied me we a few tricks, which are up my non existing sleeves. As for Linc. A shiver runs through my body as I think about his possible reaction. I quickly send Rayven a text, to let her know we are at the assigned door as Baby Blu parks the car.
Rayven’s head peeks round the side of the fire door, and we stealthy make our way in to the building. Fugitively checking that the corridor is clear as we make our way to one of the back rooms that Rayven has secured for us.
“OK ladies here we are.” Rayven opens a door to a room that at one time must have been an old store room. Quickly putting the final touches to my costume. I am ready to face my audience.
Its amateur night at Tie me Down and I am about to put a show on for Linc. One that he will never forget. With Rayven’s help as a guide, we quickly reach the stage entrance and my hands decide to turn clammy. This is it. There’s no turning back I tell myself on a deep breath. As I step up to Tie Me Down’s compare, Paulie. I become close enough to be recognized. Instead of taking my hand, in his panic, Paulie steps back to get a better look. “Fuck Cassie you want to get me killed and fired and I mean it in that order.” To put us both at ease, I pat him on the shoulder. “I will handle it Paulie. Just go announce the next act and cue my music.”
With a wicked laugh “I should get back to my box. However, this is going to be too much fun to miss,” comes from Rayven “I just will not be able to sit down for a week.” Baby Blu inputs in to the conversation. “Hush you two. It’s time to teach my man a lesson.”
As I step on to the stage to take my place I hear Paulie make the announcement
“Ladies, Gentlemen, for your enjoyment tonight. Tie Me Down is honored to have the delectable Marilyn. The intro from I Thank you, is my cue to make my entrance.
My man loves his Marilyn and my costume consist of a copy of the iconic white dress from ‘Seven Year Itch.’ A blonde wig and brown contacts. To complete the outfit. I am also wearing white sandal stilettos. As I enter the stage I begin to blow kisses to the audience. And as wolf whistles drown me, I find my mark. He’s sat back in the VIP area. Without removing my gaze from Linc, I begin to move just as Rayven has taught me and soon there is just Linc and me in the room.

Amateur night is proving to be just that. Girls getting up to do their thing. Some of the girls who hang out at the club have had a turn and Tabby is considering taking one or two of the girls on. After draining the last of the whisky from my glass, I begin to rise from my seat with the intention of going to the toilet. When I hear Paulie announce the next act, Marilyn.
Yep, I’m a sucker for Marilyn Monroe and the girl on the stage could give her a run for her money. She’s a knock out. Tabby and Fudge wolf whistle along with the other guys in the room as she struts across the stage. It’s while I am studying the girl that my mind starts to niggle me. There’s something about her that is familiar, and it’s not until she smiles at me that I recognize my Cassie.
What the hell, leaping from me seat I turn on Fudge and Tabby “Fuck! Did you two bastards just wolf whistle my wife?” I have an urge to punch them and every other guy in the room who are looking at my wife. Each of them ogling Cassie as she moves to the music against the pole. If that’s not enough, she whips the bottom half of her dress off to reveal a beautifully curved backside covered in white underwear. Fuck no one gets to see my wife naked. With another look of disgust at my so called brothers I turn towards the stage with every intention of stopping Cassie. I do not even manage to take a step forward before there are two sets of hands on my shoulders trying to restrain me.
“Fuck, Linc, take it easy” Inferno is having belly laughs and so are the rest of the brothers. All this, is at my expense. And I am going to kill everyone one of them. Including the Sex Siren on the stage.
With a dog’s determination I shake off my restraints, and make a grab for Tabby. “Did you fucking know about this?” The idiot is crying with laughter as my wife strips on his stage. In between bouts of laughter “No. this is the first I know about it.” At this point Cassie has her back to the audience. Her hands are holding on to the pole, and she is shaking her ass as she shimmies against the pole. Fuck, the girl is killing me.
In my eagerness to reach the stage, I shove the punters out of the way. Meanwhile I maintain my glare on Cassie. One look from me and she shimmers her way over. Only to turn her back and shakes her ass in my face. Whilst removing the top of the dress to reveal a figure hugging white swimsuit and she looks sexy as hell.
Unfortunately the men round me agree and start to throw dollar bills at the stage. Oblivious to what is going on round her. Cassie turns back to me, bending forward slightly to blow a kiss in my direction. The wolf whistles are getting louder. That does it for me, deciding that she has shown enough of her skin to the audience. And before she can remove her costume, I bound on to stage and stake my claim. Now that I have the audience’s attention I plant one on Cassie. This kiss is for everyone. For the audience and for Cassie. Yep this woman is taken. More catcalls fill the room when I lift Cassie up into my arms and carry her backstage. Meanwhile I collect the clothing she has dropped on the floor. She is going to need them later. Tonight I get to play with my own Marilyn.

As soon as Linc has me in his arms an unexpected bout of giddiness takes control of my body as I giggle into Linc’s shoulder. Yeah, the night has been a success and my body is humming with happiness. Tilting my head back to gaze at Linc’s face I discover that his cheeks are flushed a dull red. Victory is sailing through my body. The erratic thumping of the pulse at his neck is further proof that my man enjoyed the show. But just to make sure.
“Are you not going to say anything?”
Hot piercing indigo eyes stare down at me. “I’m still undecided if I should lock you away or fuck you. Fuck Cassie you don’t get naked in front of other men. Ever. This.” He says whilst his hands trawl along my body, causing me to tingle. “This is mine. And no one sees it. Cassie those fucking men whistled.”
I am wrapped in a cloud of euphoria and continue to smile against his shoulder, stroking his chest. Still Linc has not put me down, “I know. Do you think Tabby will give me a job” I ask in all seriousness, causing Linc to stop in his tracks as he glares at me. His smile lost.
“If the fucker does, he will not be walking for at least a year” Linc’s possessive attitude has me kissing him on the ear. And that’s when I see her. The bottle blonde whore is still here. The sight of the skank, has me stiff in Linc’s arms. Linc is reluctant to let me down as I struggle against his hold. His arms tightening around my body.
“Put me down you fucking lying bastard” Linc freezes as I speak, and a puzzled frown replaces the smile he was sporting. With great reluctance Linc lets me free as he glides my body against his as a reminder of how much he wants me.
Fuck. Un-fucking-believable. After everything he has said. Anger is pulsating through me as I take a step away from the bastard to go round his body to hurl myself at the skank. With a violence that should shock me I grab her hair and slam her face against the wall. Before she can gather her composure I knee her in the stomach as I slam her face into the wall again. “Fucking whore. Get your stuff and get out now!” Unable to tolerate being near the slut any longer, I step away and watch as she falls to the floor.
The silence is my first clue that everyone who is backstage has stopped doing what they were at, and are now looking at me. In all of my life, I have never hit another person. Pride has me holding my head up straight. While I keep my tears at bay. With a purpose stride, I march over to the deceitful bastard who has not moved since putting me down. Unable to read the expression on his face. “You promised Linc. You said you would fucking get rid of her”
“He did Cassie. It’s her last week here. Then she’s leaving Comfort Springs.” This came from Tabby who was holding a struggling Rayven. Worried at what he was going to do.
“Do not hurt her. None of this is her fault.”
“Fuck Cassie what kind of man do you think I am? I never have and never will hurt a woman. But she is to be punished for what happened tonight.”
“It’s OK Cassie, he will not hurt me” Shit, she has too much faith in the man whore.
“Come on Cassie. Let’s go” Linc is hounding me towards the back door.
“I need to change first Linc.” Linc has not let me out of his sight as he follows me back to the small room I had used earlier. Under Linc’s scrutiny, I quickly slip on the jeans and jumper which I had brought with me. The silence is starting to become strained. Since beating the crap out of Lacey, I refuse to speak to Linc. Thankfully he has had the sense not to open his mouth either. With a firm snap the door to the closet is closed. On our way out we bump into Inferno and Baby Blu. Who gives me a hug. “Everything OK?” I refuse to cry, with a quick accent of my head along with a kiss on the cheek. “Yeah”
Instead of going straight home. Linc takes to the roads, and as the bike eats the miles, I lean against him, taking in deep breathes. I want to block everything out of my mind. Inside I deny to myself what happened at the club. Another deep breath has me embracing the night air. Tonight’s events may have me unsettled. But I am at peace with Linc’s body next to mine.
Long before I am ready to face Linc about tonight’s consequences he has the bike in the driveway. Reluctantly I climb off the back of the bike and head towards the house. Linc follows at a jogging pace, carrying my bag. As he opens the door he places his hand at the base of my spine to guide me in into the living area.
