Butch

“We’re not going to kill you or hurt you, but yeah. Go and talk to him, and I’ll be the one to lock everything up.”

Wiping her hands down her thighs, she passed Eva, thankful the other woman didn’t mutter or laugh.

Entering the café she nodded toward the owner then made her way in the back. Cheryl found Butch standing at a sink, washing plates and cups. Seeing how large he was with all of his ink on display she knew this was not the right place for him. He stood out like a sore thumb. There was no happiness in the work he was doing. She didn’t want him doing stuff he hated. The club made him a lot happier even if there were a lot more dangers around.

“Hey,” she said, letting him know he wasn’t alone.

He turned to face her.

“Baby, I wasn’t expecting to see you ‘til lunch.”

Wringing her hands together, she stepped up close. “Eva stopped by.”

Butch tensed at the mention of the other woman’s name. “Do I want to know why she stopped by?” he asked.

“She and all the girls are planning a pampering spa day. If you don’t want me to go let me know and I’ll go and cancel.”

“You’re excited about going?” He folded his arms, staring at her.

Cheryl smiled and nodded. “Yeah, I’ve never been to a spa before or been pampered. It sounds like a lot of fun.”

“Men come in and give you a massage.” He reached out, wrapping an arm around her waist, and tugged her close. She gasped, falling against him.

“Really? I’ll get my body rubbed and caressed by an experienced guy?” she asked, teasing.

“Don’t test me, baby. I’ve got no problems with you going, but I do have an issue with you getting mauled by any guy with a dick. You need to know who you belong to.”

His concern thrilled her.

“If I promise not to get a massage by a strange man will you make it up to me?”

“Baby, I’ll give you a massage of the erotic kind that will have you begging for more and I’ll give them to you on a regular basis. I won’t even ask for money for the service. I’ll do it for free.” His hand glided down her back to grab her ass. Butch drew her up close against him.

She felt the hard ridge of his c**k against her stomach. He was long, thick, and he turned her on.

“Butch,” she said, moaning.

“Fuck, Cheryl. I can’t think when you make those sweet sounds.”

Closing her eyes, she rested her head against his chest, loving the feel of his arms being wrapped around her.

“I don’t want to move,” she said.

“Do we have a deal?”

“Yeah, we’ve got a deal.”

“Get your mom to take Matthew for the night.” Butch pulled out his cell phone, handing it to her. “I want you to myself so I can make you scream and beg for my cock.”

She glanced around the back room expecting to see people watching her.

“No one would dare look your way. I wouldn’t embarrass you.”

Typing in the number, she made the necessary arrangements for her son to stay over with his grandma. When she was done, she handed the phone back to him. “She’ll look after him.”

“She’s still not my biggest fan?”

Cheryl shrugged. “My mom doesn’t like me very much at the moment. She thinks I should be with Alex seeing as he’s the father. I don’t want to be involved with him. He gave up that right three years ago.”

He stroked her cheek. “Go and pamper yourself. Stay at the spa and I’ll wait for you when I’m done.”

“If you don’t want me to go, I won’t.”

“I want you to go and have some fun.” He leaned down, brushing his lips against hers. Her body heated up at the feel of him.

“I’ll see you soon.” Turning away from him, Cheryl made her way toward the front of the café. Eva stood waiting for her.

“Is he okay with everything?” Eva asked.

“Yeah, I’ve been ordered to have fun.”

“Great. I’ve just got a call that Kelsey is joining us as well.” Eva reached out, taking her hand. “I want you to relax. None of us are going to be bitchy. Well, Tate will be a bitch, but it’s in her nature. Prue will put her in her place. She’s my stepdaughter, so I can’t really do anything nasty to her.”

“No problem.” They walked across the street and along the path toward the corner spa. She’d passed it many times while running errands, but she’d never gotten a chance to be inside one.

“So, you and Butch are a couple?” Eva asked.

“I think we’re a couple. I want us to be a couple, but it’s complicated with Alex’s involvement.”

“All of us were shocked to hear about Alex and you. How’s Matthew doing?”

Pulling her hand away from the other woman, Cheryl smiled. “He’s doing okay. Does Alex want to be involved? I’ve not really spoken to him. I don’t know if I want to.”

“He’s an ass**le with the way he’s dealt with this crap. He’ll pull through. Alex is many things but not a loser.”

“It was a mistake on my part at least. I couldn’t deal with him. I mean, we were together, and then he was gone.”

“Like I said, this is the first time I know he’s been a complete ass**le, but I can’t stay mad at him. He’s part of the club, and I know he’ll make up for what he’s done. You should give him a chance, not as a boyfriend or anything, but as a father to Matthew. He’s great with kids.” Eva opened the door to the spa, giving her some space to enter.

The main reception was quiet. A slender redhead was working the front desk. She left Eva to book them in. Cheryl stayed silent feeling out of place and lost. Her life hadn’t been adventurous in the last three years. In fact, she’d not even had the time to take a long relaxing soak in the bath.

“Come on, let’s go and have some fun. We’ve all got a room, so be prepared for a lot of exposure. I wish you could meet Angel. She’s the sweetest one in the group, never says a bad word to anyone, but she’s away for a long time. She deserves it, too. We all adore her.”

Eva led the way toward the back. They passed several women in different states of undress along with men. “This is a spa and a gym. You can have your pick of it all.”

“It’s a large place.”

“Don’t worry. The girls wanted to meet you.”
