Taking Whatever He Wants: The Cline Brothers of Colorado Read Online Free PDF Page A

asked. I knew what was pissing me off. All of these fucks talking about how they wanted to have their way with her. 
    “Are we going to stand here talking about a woman or are we going to play?” I asked, irrationally angry.
    “Oh, I’m going to enjoy taking your money for a change. Joe, if I was you, I’d play him next.”
    “Yeah, I’m next, but first I need to get a beer and welcome the little hottie at the bar. Fuck, those tits are big.” I didn’t realize I was holding on to the pool stick so hard until I heard the crack. Shaking with rage, I wanted to drop one of my best mechanics because I was feeling overwhelmingly jealous.
    “I’m out of here,” I said. There were no other words; I had to go before I got all fucking nuts and took her away from here. As I walked passed the bar, I had to take one last look at her. There was no way I could look away. Our eyes met and I knew right then, that if I didn’t leave, I’d break my promise.
    I gave her a scowling look before pushing the door open and leaving. Hopping on my Harley, I hit the road. I wanted to stop by my brother’s, but I knew he’d be sleeping. He worked like a beast on his ranch and that seemed to be a twenty-four-seven gig. Sun up to sun down, my brother was out in the fields.
    The next stop was my parents’ inn. They could probably use some help. I parked my ride, hoping to get rid of some stress. It wasn’t going to be easy, but that little beauty fucked me up completely. I loved this place. My parents were a local gem. Everyone wanted to know them and they ran the inn like everyone was family. It had always been that way. They bought it when we were about eight so it’s been twenty years. They taught Will and I everything about hard work, dedication, and business savvy.
    “Oh, Shane. What are you doing here? Don’t tell me you’re drinking and riding?” my mom asked, scolding and hugging me at the same time.
    “No, Mom. I had a beer. I wasn’t feeling up to playing pool tonight. Is there anything you need me to do around here?” I looked around for a distraction. My mother was like a hawk and could read my expressions.
    “Have you ever heard of rest? You two boys work so hard all the time. What I need done I can call a maintenance man for.” She patted my chest and stepped back with a smile.
    “Why do you need a maintenance man? I can fix anything and so can Will.”
    “Yes, you can, but something’s bothering you and I know what you’re doing. You’re here trying to get away from your problems.” She shook her head at me in exasperation.
    “Can’t you just let me fix what you need fixed?” I almost begged.
    “Sure, but you know you can talk to me anytime you feel like it. I love you, Shane.” My mom hugged me again; this time she gave me an extra squeeze.
    “I love you, too.” She led me to the door that was a little swollen with the heat. Within a few minutes I had that done.
    It was only one thirty in the morning. The bar didn’t close until two, but I finished everything at my parents’ inn and they’d been trying to get me to go home for the last hour. Like a weakling, I had to see her again, so I got on my ride and drove off in the night back to the bar. Perched on my bike, I hid in the shadows and watched the bar like a hawk. The parking lot was almost empty with only two cars. One I knew well and the other, I just got to see for the first time earlier this week. The lights turned off and that’s when I saw Jack walking out of the bar with her. They were laughing and I closed my eyes because I was three seconds from going after him. I knew it wouldn’t be long before he leaned in and kissed her. But instead of making a move on her, he waited until she locked up and walked up the outside stairs to Brent’s place. He walked back to his car and waited until she closed the door behind her before he left in the direction of his home. I felt a sigh of relief. Maybe I could go back home and finally get some
