Riding the Line (Devil's Knights 2nd Generation #2) - Winter Travers Page 0,5

jammed his finger into his chest. “Because I polished that stuff like it was fucking shit Jesus ate off of!”

I chuckled and bowed my head. “Fucking classic.”

Zag grunted. “Classic bullshit.”

“Well, I thank you for shining the shit Meg took. God knows she would have taken it even if it wasn’t all cleaned up.” King smiled wide.

“What the hell did she take?” I asked.

King shook his head. “A miniature wheelbarrow, three solar lights shaped like cows, and a sign that says, ‘Nice Butt,’ that she hung over the toilet.”

Zag jumped up and pointed at King. “Those fucking cows were a pain the ass to clean! I couldn’t even tell that they were cows when I started to scrub them.”

“Well, now they are shoved into the ground by the hostas in the front yard.” King nodded. “Thank you.”

I couldn’t tell if he was being sarcastic or not. Though I had to assume that after years of being married to Meg, any weird shit she did was now just normal for him.

Solar cow lights? Yeah, that was something Meg would want and have.

“So, we having church tomorrow?” Zig asked.

King nodded. “Yup. Gotta figure out what the hell is going on. As soon as we leave, y’all somehow get a serial killer and a psycho right on the heels of each other. We went years without any newsworthy bullshit.”

I scoffed. “Not like we asked for all of this excitement.”

“And, Hero managed to land his ass in love.” King shook his head. “Reminds me of about twenty years ago when me, your dad, and all of the other guys fell in love like fucking dominos while we dealt with the Banachis along with a ton of other bullshit.”

Zag elbowed me. “Yeah, now that Hero has Reva, it seems like Frost is up next.”

I growled and slugged him on the shoulder. “Shut the fuck up.”

King shook his head and laughed. “I’m not surprised. Which one of these chicks managed to catch your eye?”

I closed my eyes and wished to hell that Zag would go fucking mute. I didn’t need him splashing my business all over the place. I may be the youngest, but that didn’t mean he needed to go around wagging his jaw to anyone willing to listen.

“She was sitting on the couch in the middle. Jet black hair and green eyes that can see right through your soul,” Zip blurted before I could.

“She went outside for a bit?” King asked.

“Yup,” Zag confirmed. “It took all of Frost’s willpower to not follow her out the door.”

King nodded. “Been there before.”

“Please,” Zig laughed. “You and Meg were into each other the first time you met. Indiana doesn’t seem to be reciprocating Frost’s creepy advances.”

“Do you two assholes ever know when to shut up?” I growled.

King clapped me on the shoulder. “Calm down, kid. They aren’t telling me anything I wouldn’t be able to pick up on now that I’m back.”

“There isn’t anything going on,” I insisted. “I’m just keeping an eye on her and the rest of the girls until this shit gets cleared up.” That’s all I was doing.

Zig shook his head. “The only time you keep an eye on the other girls is when they are with Indiana.”

I didn’t have it in me to argue with Zig or Zag. They were exhausting. “There’s nothing going on between Indiana or me. Drop it.”

Zag shrugged. “Well, I guess you might be right, seeing as you didn’t jump up and follow her out of the room when she walked out.”

I whipped around on my stool, and my eyes fell on the empty spot where Indiana had been sitting five minutes ago. “What the hell?”

King turned with me. “Yeah, there’s nothing going on between the two of you,” he chided. He drained his glass and held it up over his head. “Make me another, Zig.”

I would have told him to make it two, but I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the drink until I knew where Indiana had taken off to. I could always ask Reva where she went, but then I was afraid that would just set more tongues wagging about Indiana and me.

“Go find her, boy,” King said quietly. “Don’t let your brothers get to you too much.”

Pfft. That was much easier said than done. “Later,” I grunted.

Indiana had to have either run to the bathroom or headed to bed. It was already after midnight, and she tended to turn in around ten. Those first few nights she had started staying at the clubhouse had surprised
