It was probably a good thing that Marsh dragged us back to the clubhouse Guitar Fucker had been buying Tinker drinks all night, sitting next to her between sets

Touching her

If he’d tried to stick his tongue down her throat, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to hold ination took over, and damned if it wasn’t already pretty vivid when it caht red lipstick Would it be sht?

I’d have to hunt him down and shoot him

Things got worse e reached the clubhouse Not only was I tense as fuck, but I realized that the only inal brothers who didn’t like Marsh—hadn’t showed their faces all night Either Marsh hadn’t invited the Either way, the split was co Maybe soon

Part of ht we should pull them aside, maybe see if we could recruit them to our cause On the other hand, they were the ones who let the situation get this bad in the first place
