Chapter 26

“What’s that fucker playing at?” I mumble watching the Renegade VP and Misty laugh and talk on the other side of the yard.

I hear Kincaid chuckle beside me, and I realize I said that shit out loud.

I take a long pull from my beer hoping he’ll just ignore me.

No such luck.

“I think they’d make a great couple,” he says smirking around the mouth of his own beer bottle.

“I’m in no fucking mood, Prez,” I warn him.

His eyes sparkle with mirth. “He looks like he’d be a decent stepdad. I know for a fact he loves kids. He volunteers at the children’s hospital all the time in Albuquerque.”

My blood boils at the thought. The part about him being a good stepdad to my son, not the part about helping kids because come on, that shit’s pretty cool. Nothing against Butch; he’s an awesome man. Has had my back more than once when I needed him, but the idea of Misty settling down with anyone else, makes my face heat in anger and my trigger finger itch.

“Over my goddamned dead body,” I seethe.

“You have to accept that eventually, she’s going to move on. She’s a beautiful woman that deserves to be cherished, worshiped even. She’s not going to be content to just be on her own, alone for the rest of her life.” He looks over at me, giving me a knowing glance. “You have to decide if you’re going to be able to handle that.”

Without another word he gets up from his chair and walks over to Emmalyn, who’s standing next to Rose and Doc. I watch as he wraps his arms around her waist, placing his hands delicately on her lower stomach. Her smile falters, momentarily replaced with a brief sadness.

Kincaid told me a few days ago that their first attempt at fertility treatments failed. He said they plan to try as many times as it takes. My heart breaks for them. Here they are trying everything they can to have a family, and I’m wasting my opportunity to have one around every turn. They must be disgusted with me, even though they’ve never said so or made me feel that way.

My mind, like always, floats back to Misty and Griffin. It seems every waking thought has them in it in some form or fashion.

I had to bite my tongue and fight the desire to walk away in the kitchen when Butch first approached Misty. I tortured myself as they cut vegetables and laughed freely. He brought out the big guns and flirted with her without a care in the damn world. He could tell by how she acted that she wasn’t one of the club girls. I’ve known Butch for years, and whore pussy is not something he’s really interested in. The poor bastard is a serial monogamist, who just can’t seem to find the perfect woman to completely settle down with.

If I’m being honest with myself, Butch and Misty would probably make a great couple. Thank fuck I’ve grown accustomed to the lies I’ve been telling myself the last several months.
