What Goes Around (Bulldogs MC #3)

19: No Stupid Shit

^^ Banjo ^^

"Should I be worried?" Smiler murmurs in my ear as I watch the guys all talking to Liam and explaining what they need.

I turn my head to look at him and frown. "About what?"

He smirks and leans in closer. "About the fact that the kid can barely keep his eyes off you for longer than a minute,"

I laugh and shake my head. "No. Well," I pause. "Maybe if I was five years younger,"

His eyebrows shoot up and he grabs my waist, pulling me in front of him. "I guess I should be grateful you're not then,"

I nod and lean up to kiss him. "Yeah, maybe you should," I grin, fisting my hands in his shirt. I turn and lean my back against his chest, resting my head on his shoulder as his fingers draw lazy circles on my waist, just under my shirt. Liam's eyes dart up to catch mine and I wink at him. His cheeks go bright red as he focuses his attention back on the laptop.

Smiler's shoulders shake with laughter as he nips at my earlobe. "You're mean. I kinda feel sorry for him," he whispers in my ear, and a shudder goes through me as his breath tickles my neck. "I know what it's like to want you, but have you just out of reach,"

I crane my neck to look at him. "I was never out of your reach,"

He hums as he places kisses along my jaw and his fingers tighten on my waist. "Maybe not. But it felt like you were. I remember having to watch you dance way too close to Jay, not being able to do the same,"

I laugh loudly and slap a hand over my mouth as I realise I've caught the attention of the others. "He only did that because he knew you were watching,"

Smiler's eyebrows shoot up and his jaw drops. "Clever bastard," he mutters, before catching my mouth with his.

I pull away from him as I hear a throat clear behind me, and turn to face the others again. "Mind if we interrupt?" Jay asks with a grin.

"Sorry, we were just remembering a certain dance when I first got here," I wink at him and his grin widens as he nods at Smiler.

"Anyway," he says, nodding at Liam. "We think we've got something," I move to stand behind Liam and lean down to look over his shoulder. I hear a muffled noise and look up to see Smiler pressing a fist against his mouth to cover a laugh. When I look at Liam, I honestly don't think his face can get any redder without exploding. I pull back slightly, deciding that maybe teasing him really is mean. Jay points to a dot on the map that's displayed on the screen. "That's the last location of her phone before it was switched off,"

I frown as I look closer at the screen. "There's nothing there," I say, confused. It's just a road that goes through the desert, and the pin on the screen is in the middle of nowhere.

Liam nods and moves the map slightly pointing at another spot a few miles further down. "But that," he says, jabbing the screen with his finger. "Is a warehouse or hangar of some kind. If I wanted to hide someone, I think that'd be a pretty good place to do it,"

I look at Jay and he nods, obviously thinking the same thing. I'm about to speak when my phone rings, and I step out of the kitchen to answer it.

"Hello?" I ask, frowning at the unknown number it shows.

"You're a tricky girl to get hold of alone," A male voice replies, and my eyes go wide. I step back into the kitchen and wave to get the guys' attention. They all fall silent and stare at me as I point to the phone at my ear.

"Well, I wouldn't wanna make it too easy for you," I say. Liam starts typing frantically on his laptop, before handing me one end of a cable to plug into the phone.
