bright red. “I doubt that. I’m not exactly biker material.”
Tate scoffed. “Honey, I’m not biker material, and yet I had my legs wrapped around a biker last night.”
“It’s different for you. You grew up with it. I’m not used to such attention. His gaze was dark , and it was like he was undressing me. I know, undressing the fat whale,” Kelsey said.
She glared at her friend. “Don’t talk about yourself like that. You’ re a beautiful woman, Kelsey, and never let anyone tell you differently.”
Tate gasped as she was transported back to when she was seventeen. Several of the girls in high school had been picking on her, calling her names and making jokes at her clothes. None of them ever spoke to her when Murphy was around. They still liked to invite her to parties, but they were never nice when they didn’t have to be. He was the one who kept them all quiet. In fact, she’d gotten a lot more invites to parties once she was seen around with him.
Unable to face any more jokes or name calling she’d hidden out at the back of the gym where no one went. She’d been sat with her knees up against her chest when Murphy found her.
He’d sat down beside and listened to everything she had to say. How had she forgotten the way he touched her face and brought her close to him?
“Listen to me, Tate, you’re a beautiful woman. Those girls are jealous because you’re the type of woman a man wants. When you’re older you’re going to meet the right man to settle down with while they’re being passed from man to man. Don’t let anyone tell you differently.”
She’d completely forgotten about that.
Chapter Seven
“Tate?” Murphy called her name a third time and knew she’d gone. Checking out the wardrobe he saw her clothes were still there along with Eva’s and Cherry’s. “Fuck!” Tiny was going to kill him.
The next time he saw Tate she was going over his knee. He didn’t care if she didn’t talk to him for a week. There was no way he was going to accept his woman running out on him.
Pulling on his jeans and shirt, Murphy grabbed his jacket and headed out of the hotel room. He found Tiny and the rest of the guys at the bar eating breakfast. Alex was with them as well.
Lash and Angel were sat together giggling.
“Will you two shut the fuck up?” Nash asked, groaning. Murphy saw one side of Nash’s face was a nice shade of purple.
“Have you heard the good news?” Lash asked, ignoring his brother.
Taking a seat Murphy waited to be updated.
“We got married last night,” Angel said, showing the men her ring. They all gave her encouraging comments and smiled, admiring the ring. Nash even smiled at her.
“Don’t worry, I know Tate’s gone,” Tiny said, drawing Murphy back to him.
“They left early this morning,” Alex said.
“Did they say anything to you?” Murphy grabbed himself a plate of food and started eating. Tate’s scent still surrounded him. He’d not gotten in the shower or washed their time away.
“Not worth repeating.” Alex was clicking away on the computer, clearly bored with talking.
“What happened with Eva last night?” he asked.
“A fat lot of nothing.” Tiny slammed his cup down. “We’re leaving after breakfast. They have a lead on us , and I’m pissed off. Don’t talk to me. Pack their shit up and meet me down in the lobby in thirty minutes.”
Tiny stormed away.
“He fucked Eva last night and fucked things up,” Nash said. “I’ll be surprised if she doesn’t leave his ass.”
“She’s been threatening to leave him for some time, Nash. It’s not going to happen,” Lash said.
“Tate’s no longer living with him. There’s no reason for Eva to stay. Why would she stay around for someone who didn’t want her?”
Murphy finished his breakfast refusing to be drawn into another debate about the Tiny and Eva drama. He remembered it coming from Tate when she was younger. She’d always wanted the two to get together. Over
