Jack on the other hand, was growling.
Janet had on a slinky red dress that showed off her figure. A little too much for Jack's liking apparently. She waved to him flirtatiously as the girls took up residence at the other end of the bar.
Donnie walked over to them and shoved Whisky Beard out of the way. He barely glanced at Kaylie and Janet. His eyes were on Sally. They were all over Sally. And by God, there was a lot to see.
She smiled at him.
He frowned.
"Hi Donnie."
He nodded in greeting, not sure what to say. Was she here to see him? Or drive him insane? What the hell was she up to?
"I'll have a whisky sour please."
"Two mai tais, please!"
Janet giggled.
"Kaylie needs her liquid courage tonight!"
He made their drinks quickly. It took an effort to keep his eyes on what he was doing. He had to fight the urge to feast his eyes on her. Devlin waved him over as soon as he delivered their drinks.
"What the hell are they doing down there looking like that?"
Donnie shrugged, his eyes on Sally as she giggled and sipped her drink. She was ignoring him completely. They were all ignoring them. Well, except Janet who kept making eyes at Jack. The two of them were disgusting.
Jack wasn't flirting with his old lady though. He was scowling. It looked like the Viking was back in full effect.
"The whole club is going to be all over them in about thirty seconds."
"Nobody's going to mess with Kaylie."
"Maybe not, but they are going to be all over your girl there, Donnie. And ours are going to be right in the middle of it."
"She's not my girl."
"If you ever want her to be, I wouldn't be sitting here talking to us."
Sure enough there were a couple of guys making a beeline for the girls. More than a couple. In less than a minute, there were no less than eight bikers over there, leering at his woman.
His woman dammit.
He straightened up and finished his beer. Then he popped the top off another one and sauntered over there. Sally was laughing at something Dave 'Lug nut' Harris said.
Dave was good looking and always had his pick of the sweet butts. Apparently he was looking to branch out. Into his territory.
Donnie gave the guy the stink eye until the moron seemed to notice.
"Donnie man, make sure this lovely ladies' drinks are on my tab."
"They're already on the house."
"Oh right, Dev always treats his old lady and her friends. Kaylie you are looking lovely as always. How about another round?"
"Thank you, Dave."
Donnie made another round and handed them to the girls. Then he slammed Dave's drink down so that it spilled everywhere.
"What the hell, man?"
"Their drinks are on the house because I say they are on the house. Yours is five bucks. Why don't you go drink that somewhere else, Lug nut?"
Dave had the good sense to pay attention. Donnie was always joking around but everyone knew he was dangerous with his fists. He was faster and wilier than anyone in a fight and Dave knew it.
Plus, he'd been in a vicious mood all week.
"Sorry man. I didn't know she was off limits. Come on guys."
The guys all drifted away under the intense glare that Donnie was giving them.
Kaylie broke the tension with a giggle.
"That was impressive, Donnie. Remind me to have you give that look to my economy professor. He's always trying to look down my shirt."
"Who is trying to look down your shirt?"
Kaylie swiveled on her stool and gasped. Devlin was inches behind her. She gave Devlin an arch look. He was looming over her and glaring but she didn't look the least bit concerned.
"Lots of people do. I guess that's because I'm single."
"You're what?"
Devlin looked like steam was about to explode out of his ears. Kaylie titled her head to the side and leaned toward him.
"In the legal sense of the word, silly. No ring.” She wagged her fingers at him. “Everyone around here knows you're my old man."
"Oh I am, am I?"
She nodded and smiled sweetly at him.
"Of course you are."
All the tension leaked out of Devlin's body. He grinned at her stupidly. Then he scooped her up and carried her out of the barroom.
Janet giggled.
"Well, I guess that's that."
Donnie didn't say anything. He was just staring at Sally. He could really see her face with that hair style. She was fucking beautiful.
For some reason though, it was making him mad.
He poured himself a shot of tequila and threw it back. He caught her looking at him. Something was definitely different tonight. There was a look of warm invitation in her eyes.
Another group of guys were eyeing Sally hungrily. Donnie cursed and jumped over the bar. Her big eyes blinked up at him.
“What are you-“
He grabbed her arm and dragged her behind him to the back and out into the night air.
