A Little Bit Dirty - Jenika Snow Page 0,62

smiled and lifted her hand to run a finger over the corner of her mouth. There was this glint in her eyes, and Tanner knew the bitch was making a nonverbal reference to what she had said she did with Jackson last night—or better yet what she claimed she had done, which was of course total bullshit.

In a voice so low Tanner didn’t even know if Jacks would be able to hear, Laura said, “He tasted as good as he did the last time.”

Something inside of Tanner snapped, this buzzing filled her eyes, and all she could focus on was this woman that was trying to take something from Tanner that she cared about a hell of a lot. She curled her hand into a fist, and her arm shook at the force it was taking her to keep herself under control.

Still speaking so low only Tanner could hear, Laura said, “You ain’t nothing but a piece of ass to him, and once the tour starts back up I’ll be there and you’ll just be another fuck memory to him.”

Tanner had never been one for violence, but there was something about Laura that rubbed her the wrong way. That and she kept running her damn mouth. She was vaguely aware of someone saying her name, but all she could see was Laura still grinning at her, and running her tongue over her lips.

Her red lipstick was nearly worn off, and a bit of it was smeared on her chin. Everything from last night came flooding back.

“He was good.” She ran her tongue along her bottom lip. “Tasted sweet—”

“You fucking bitch.” There were voices all around her, but it felt like Tanner was under water. The smile faded from Laura’s face, and her eyes widened.

Before Tanner knew what was happening she had her arm cocked back and was bringing it forward again and right into the side of Laura’s face. The other woman’s face cocked to the side, and she immediately cupped her jaw.

“You fucking cunt.” Laura launched herself at Tanner, got in a hit that clipped her jaw, but before the fight could escalate Matty and Beats were pulling Laura away, and Jacks had an arm around Tanner’s middle. Her back was snug with his chest, and although her anger was still so strong inside of her, she didn’t fight Jacks to let her go.

Everything came rushing back to Tanner: the sound, the feel of her heart racing, and her blood pounding through her veins. Her knuckles ached, and when she looked at Jacks, and then at Matty and Beats it was to see this surprised expression on their faces.

“You bitch.” Blood trickled out of Laura’s nose and out of the corner of her mouth. She took a step toward Tanner.

The metallic flavor of blood covered the inside of Tanner’s mouth from her teeth slicing open her cheek when Laura clipped her. That just pissed her off even more. “Do it, Laura. Make me hit you again.” Tanner gritted those words out, but they had Laura stopping.

She had never felt this kind of anger, jealousy, or possessiveness before. “You are nothing but a lying whore trying to get between Jacks and me.”

Laura looked over at Jacks, and when she looked at Tanner again there was this blank expression on her face. “Screw this. You’re one crazy bitch, and I hope he fucking breaks your heart.” Laura went to move past them, but Jacks’ voice stopped her.

“Pack up your shit and leave the tour. We don’t need this kind of drama bullshit.”

Luckily Laura was smart enough to keep her mouth shut. She turned and stormed out of the room and slammed the door closed hard enough that the pictures on the wall shook. There was a moment of silence that filled the room as they all looked at each other.

“Well, damn. If that doesn’t wake someone’s ass up I don’t know what will,” Beats said and stood. He stretched and scratched his jaw.

Despite all the drama that had just happened Tanner couldn’t help but think of what Zoe told her about her and Beats.

“Everything good now?” He phrased it as a question, but didn’t wait for a response. He turned and headed out of the master suite, and a few minutes later Matty followed suit.

When it was just her and Jacks left in the room they stared at each other for a few seconds. Her hand still throbbed, and she looked down at it. Already it was starting to swell and
