Chapter Seven

Brantley

"Ineed a favor."

"Hello to you too, motherfucker," Memphis Hughes says, chuckling when I stroll through the doors of his bar, the Devil's Run, two days later, scowling at the topless blonde who bats her lashes at me. "Liv, you might as well go serve someone else. He ain't drinking or tipping."

"Worth a shot," she says, looking me up and down with a flirtatious grin. "At least he's hot."

"Jesus Christ," I mutter, earning a laugh from Memphis.

"New girl," he says, enjoying my misery. "She won't bother you again. She's sweet. Works here to pay for her brother's medical bills."

"I don't need her life story, Memphis." I plant my ass on a barstool, shaking my head. "Don't need to know anything about her, as a matter of fact."

"Just saying, I hire the girls I hire for a reason, brother," he murmurs. "Most of them have serious shit going on in their lives. And they make a helluva lot more working here than they do anywhere else. Plus, no one fucks with them here." He hits me with a hard look. "You judge the hell out of them when you come here, but they're grown ass women, man. They get to decide if they want to work topless or not. Some do, some don't. Ain't nothing wrong with those who do decide to strip down to make a living. Frankly, it's a little fucked up that you judge them for it when you used to practically live in a goddamn bar."

"I'm not judging them for it," I protest.

"Yeah, you are."

"I am not," I growl. "If they want to walk around topless, good for them. Their bodies, their choice. It's not my fucking business. I'd just prefer if they'd stop hitting on me every goddamn time I come here. I don't like it."

"Because they walk around topless."

"Because I was a fucking virgin until recently," I snap. "So excuse the fuck out of me if casual nudity is still new to me."

His eyes widen, his mouth popping open. "Well, shit," he finally drawls, chuckling. "I thought I was the only motherfucker left in this town who knew how to keep it in my pants. Then Dalton informs me that he's a motherfucking virgin. Now you. And Priest has his own shit." He shakes his head, laughing loudly. "How the fuck did it end up being the four us?"

"You were a virgin when you met your girl?" I ask, not entirely sure why I'm surprised. I've known Memphis for years. Until he met Kylie, he never bothered with women.

"Damn near," he mutters. "Hadn't been with a woman since I was seventeen."

I smirk at him. "I'm judging the fuck out of you right now, just so you know."

"Go for it." He shrugs, unperturbed. "Most people do. If I gave a shit about their opinions, it might bother me. But out of curiosity, why are you judging me?"

"How the fuck were you damn near a virgin but you run a bar like this?"

"This place was Jayson's dream," he says quietly.
