The fakest fucking smile I’ve ever seen crosses his face, and he nods. “Yeah, yeah. All good.”
Shaking my head, I snort. “Okay. And, I’m the fucking pope. What’s up?”
“Nothing. Just been lost in my head all day.”
The shadows of ghosts that should be dead and buried flit across his features. “Amy?”
“Yeah, it’s two years today.”
Raking my fingers through my hair, I buy myself some time. I have Lainey waiting at home in fuck knows what state, and in front of me, I have my best friend. Fuck. My two people. The only ones I’d lay my life on the line for.
“You wanna spend the night at my house? Can’t guarantee a good time, if you come.”
“Nah,” Timber shakes his big head, then jams two fingers in his mouth and whistles. Every single one of the Club sluts turn at the sound and—occupied with another brother or not—they head in his direction. They all want a slice of the kinky fuck, and knowing him, he’ll oblige.
Flicking my hand in the direction of the stampeding whores, I shake my head. “They’re all yours. Try not to drown in all the pussy.”
“No promises.” He laughs as he walks toward them, holding out his arms so they can all swarm around him and touch what they want. He buries his head between a pair of tits on one slut and jams his hand under the skirt of another.
I think he’ll be okay for the night.
And, on that note, I head home to my woman.
The one I can’t touch.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Kylie Hillman is an International Bestselling Author who lives in South Australia. After spending the past fifteen years regularly moving around the east coast of Australia, she has recently returned to her home state and plans to finally put down roots until her children finish school.
Wife to a Harley-riding, boating and fishing, four-wheel driving, quintessential Aussie bloke and mum to two crazy, adorable, and eccentric kids, Kylie is also a Crohn's Disease sufferer and awareness campaigner.
When she's not writing, she can be found sipping tea while she scoffs copious amounts of jelly beans (except the black ones – they’re the devil’s food), sharing her appreciation for heavy metal and hard rock music with her neighbours, or stalking Tom Hardy and M. Shadows from Avenged Sevenfold online. As a devotee to the use of profanity, sarcasm, and inappropriate innuendo, it is for the best that she chooses to venture outside her 45-acre farm only on special occasions.
Kylie is represented by Sarah Hershman of Hershman Rights Management.
She loves to chat with readers and can be contacted via her Facebook Reader Group (Kylie’s Kollective), her Facebook Like Page, or her website.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS
Normally, I thank my husband and kids first. This time I must deviate from the norm.
The first round of acknowledgements goes to the members of my promo/launch team. Without them, this book wouldn’t have made it you as a proofread coherent story. These ladies rallied when I thought all was lost and they took time (seriously 24 hours was all they had) out of their busy lives to proofread Butch so I could send Advanced Reader Copies on time.
Thank you so much Philena, Jennifer, Bonnie, Margaret, Tyniesha, Nickie, Tara, and Kaye for initially volunteering and then doing your best to fix any spelling, grammar, and formatting issues that you found! You ladies are the freaking greatest, honestly. My heart can’t cope with all the goodness you bring to my life xx
Linda Russell at Foreword PR. We haven’t worked together long, but your calm, efficient, and honest manner has been a breath of fresh air. I firmly believe that this is the beginning of a long and fruitful working relationship.
The members of Kylie’s Kollective, and especially the new admins. I ditch you guys regularly for my sanity—not because the group is too much but because social media does my head in—yet every time I post, you’re there as my biggest cheerleaders, safe space, and sounding board. I am blessed.
The bloggers, Instagrammers, reviewers, and readers who’ve supported this release. I’ve been that author for the past eighteen months. You know the one who overpromises and barely delivers. I truly appreciate those who have stuck around (and those who previously helped) and have taken yet another chance on me. Here’s to the next releases being even better as I finally work out how to be professional about this career. Without your support, readers wouldn’t find my words, and since sharing my stories with the world is the best part of this job, without you, I wouldn’t have this career. Thank you so very much for all that you do.
My hubby and kids. Everything I do is for you. Yes, I write for myself, but everything after that is done to make your life a smidgen better. You’re my driving force, my biggest obstacle, my world, my life, my everything. Love you three to the moon and back.
