bone.”
    “I’ll
pass.”
    Sliding
off the stool, she flounced away.
    He
raised his bottle to her.
    “I
see you’re using your charm again.”
    Monster
glanced up at Pan and shook his head. “Don’t you have a girl to be banging
about now?”
    “I
find I’m not interested.”
    Monster
frowned. I don’t like this. “Why not?’
    “Because
we have an intriguing mystery right under our nose and I find myself thinking
about her more often than not.”
    “Who
are we talking about?” Monster sat up straight and slammed his empty
bottle on the bar.
    “I
think you know.”
    “Not
her.”
    “Why?
You plan on doing something more than make eyes at her?”
    “Because
she’s not one of your vapid biker bunnies you can nail and toss aside. One look
and you can tell you she’s been through enough.”
    “Who
said I want to toss her aside?”
    He
balled his fists. “I know what you’re trying to do.”
    “Really?
What’s that?” Pan leaned against the bar and smirked.
    His
lackadaisical attitude grated on Monster’s nerves.
    Pan
swirled his drink and arched a brow.
    Monster’s
jaw ticked. It’d been awhile since he wanted to take his brothers head off so
badly. “Trying to get under my skin and push me to the edge.”
    “Now
why would I do that?”
    “Good
question, Pan. Don’t you have enough?”
    Pan
narrowed his eyes. His brow furrowed and his eyes dulled. “Enough what?”
    “Of
everything.” Monster slapped his palm on the bar. “Give me another one.” He
barked. “You have the pretty face, the charm, the better luck of the draw. So,
why the fuck do you care about someone like Symone?”
    “Someone
like Symone, are you listening to yourself? You don’t know anything about her.”
    “I
know she’s like me,” Monster whispered.
    “Like
you, what are you talking about?”
    “Scarred,
ignored and reminded daily how different she is. Even Frankenstein got a wife.
What use would you have for her?”
    “I
can’t believe this!” Pan shook his head. “You’re really this hung up on her?
She turns you into someone I haven’t seen in a long time. You think I’m going
to leave you to the wolves?” Pan asked.
    “Thanks
for the concern, baby brother. I take care of myself just fine.” Monster shook
his head.
    “Younger
by three fucking minutes!” Pan exclaimed.
    The
brunette bar bitch for the night was one he’d only seen briefly. She slid a
fresh bottle across the counter and took away the old.
    He
nodded his thanks.
    “She’s
not like anyone we know. I’m intrigued. You need me, or this shit will never
get off the ground.”
    “Fuck
you.”
    “It’s
been so long, you’ve got shit all twisted.”
    Monster
rolled his eyes. They were an unhealthy pair of assholes. Of course, being the
product of near death experiences that wiped out your entire family would do
shit like that to you. Any girl he was with had to accept the pain in the ass
that was Pan. “And tell me, how do you plan for this to all go down?”
    “Now
you’re talking.” Pan clapped him on the shoulder. “She might be wary of me, but
she likes you. A blind man could see that.”
    Monster
shrugged. He wanted to believe him, but hope came with pain. He’d felt enough
of that emotion to last him for the rest of his life. “I think you’re reading
too much into things.”
    “I
know I’m not and this is why I can’t leave you alone to do this.” Pan shook his
head. “We need to do this together. It feels right to me.”
    Monster
toyed with the label on his beer. He wasn’t sure he wanted to share something
with his twin brother. “We’ll see, Pan.”
    “Better
than a no.”
    Monster
sneered but remained silent. Anything he said would be giving him more fodder.
He downed his beer. “I’m not feeling it tonight. I’m going to hit it early.”
    “Uh
huh.” Pan did nothing to hide his skepticism, but he remained silent, so that
was something.
    He
walked away from the bar taking in the scene. Loud rock music
