“I feel like killing him could be a good thing for many people. You should consider the idea.”
“Other than destroying my club, who would it help?”
“One, you would live here. Two, Tricky wouldn’t be so pissy since he’s gotten big boy butthurt over Zodiac. And three, your president wants to plow my cousin’s field, and her field needs to remain unspoiled.”
“Those are fine reasons, but Zodiac wants to protect your club. That makes him an asset. Killing him would leave your people more vulnerable.”
Sabrina blinked rapidly as if her brain was rebooting. She suddenly nodded. “I see your point. This is why I’m not in charge. I would shoot every threat and move on with my day. But you’re right, killing an ally would be a mistake. This is the kind of smart thinking that makes you a good fit for my brainiac sister.”
“Does that mean we can leave the bathroom now?”
Smirking, Sabrina shook her head. “No, we should wait until Lula comes to save you.”
“Why stress her?”
“If she’s focused on my disapproval, her mind won’t be on Cher and Stevie.”
Folding my arms in front of me, I sized up Sabrina. “How do you have two girlfriends?”
“I don’t understand the question.”
“Are they with each other or just with you?”
“We’re a threesome.”
“Who did you date first, or did they date each other first?”
“I grew up with Xandy. We were together before I met Moe.”
“Was Xandy angry that you wanted another woman?”
“No. Xandy doesn’t get mad. She’s the most chill person you’ll ever meet. I’m the crankiest person you’ll ever meet. It’s why we work.”
“You’re not the crankiest person I’ve ever met.”
“Aw, you poor thing.”
Grinning, I asked, “Where does Moe fit in that perfect relationship you’ve got with Xandy?”
“She’s just Moe. No one has ever loved her like Xandy and I do. Not everyone gets lucky with a good family. Sometimes, people have to find a new family once they grow up.”
“I found that with the Black Rainbow.”
“That’s nice, but they don’t live here. You should learn to love them less.”
“I’ll try, but I’m a stubborn man.”
The aggressive knocking on the door signaled Lula’s patience had come to an end.
Sabrina grinned at me. “Good thing you’re stubborn. Lula would no doubt chew up and spit out an easygoing man. She needs someone who pushes back, or she’ll get bored.”
“I’ll keep that in mind.”
I opened the door to find Lula standing in front of Vanessa.
“He’s sufficiently afraid of me now,” Sabrina announced and walked past her sisters. “Men behave better when they know their place.”
Lula studied me as if I might have been harmed in some way by her sister. Tugging her into the bathroom, I shut the door and planted a kiss on her frowning lips. Lula reacted like I hoped by wrapping her arms around me and holding on as if I alone could keep her safe.
