Chapter 7

When pretty little Holly Chambless walked into Dumb Gator’s this time, Uptown was forced to face the unpleasant fact that her appearance made him…relieved.

Relieved, for God’s sake.

Like he was some weak-ass little bitch of a man who spent his time fretting over the inscrutable behavior of females. A description he was more than a little bit appalled to recognize fit him after today.

She hadn’t been at her big-ass house when he’d gone to pick her up, and he hadn’t much liked the rush of conflicting feelings he’d had about that. He hadn’t liked the fact there’d been any fucking feelings at all. He’d pounded on Benny’s fuck you red front door, but no one had answered it, not even one of the servants he knew perfectly well Benny liked to keep around. The whole place had been still. Silent.

Uptown had not been pleased, and then when he’d gotten to Dumb Gator’s, her perky little convertible had been gone from its spot out front where she usually parked it, so sweet and shiny and begging to get sprayed with paint-chipping gravel.

And yeah, he hadn’t loved that, either. But he’d had to suck it up and pretend he didn’t notice.

Uptown cut a glare his way, then returned it to Holly as she pranced through the crowd like some low-country Disney princess. His little swamp prom queen, too good for this place and too sweet for him, and yet there he was with a raging hard-on and the taste of her heavy in his mouth. Like she wasn’t a pawn at all. Like he just wanted her, straight up, and Benny was the distraction.

To say that didn’t sit right with him was understating the situation.

“Too much shit going down I don’t like,” he muttered. Because there was no way in hell he was sharing his fucking feelings with one of the club’s deadliest enforcers like he was a weepy little bitch and Chaser might throw him a tissue. Chaser had a teenage daughter at home, already making a name for herself with all the trouble she kicked up and the problems she liked to cause. The last
