Free Avenging Us (Rocker Series Book 3) by Gina Whitney Page A

earlier. Whoever she was, I already decided I didn’t like her. She chatted Abel up, touching the bare skin of his forearm in between giggling. Fucking fan-girls…I swear to god I’ll cut a bitch .
    They continued their conversation as he made his way over to me. I kept the mocking smile on my face, but my claws were ready. He handed me my plate and sat next to me. She had the nerve to pull up a chair. She sat across from us and made a show of crossing her legs. Abel reached over and squeezed my leg. I elbowed him—discreetly.
    “So, you’re the famous Gia,” she said, popping a piece of grilled chicken in her mouth. I glanced at her plate, and then mine. My plate piled high with pasta, meat, and a chocolate frosted cupcake.
    I wanted to growl and slap her. But didn’t…yet. “I am.”
    Abel was already two bites into his cheeseburger.
    “And you’re already pregnant.” Her tone fell flat as she glanced down at my stomach and bit into a raw carrot.
    I placed my plate on the seat behind me before answering. “So the doctors tell me. And I’m also engaged. You know, since you’re taking inventory.” I held up my finger and gave my best fuck off, bitch face.
    Her dark penciled brow raised and she smiled. She turned her attention back to Abel. “Ha! What a treat she is. I can see why you fell for her. She’s beautiful and has spirit.”
    I looked to Abel, and he smiled, delighted by her comments. Confused as to what in the fuck was going on, I left my plate behind me until I had an explanation as to who she was.
    Ender, Jake, and Jessie walked over, Woody stumbling behind them. “Sis, you made it.” Ender pulled her out of her seat, greeting her with a hug and kiss on both cheeks. Ender had a sister? I met his cousin, but no one ever said he had a sister. Well, this certainly put a different spin on things. However, there was something. Something I couldn’t put my finger on and it’s not my hormones or paranoia.
    “Of course. You think I’d miss this party?” she replied quickly.
    Jake released Jessie’s hand, taking the Latina into his arms. “Giselle, it’s been too long. Why didn’t you call? Where are you staying?” I listened to their exchange with piqued curiosity. Looks like there’s a possible story there. Ender took Jessie under his arm protectively, and that exchange wasn’t lost on Giselle. Jake extended his hand to Jessie, and she took it. “This is Jessie.”
    “Hi, nice to meet you.” Jessie extended her hand and blushed lightly.
    Giselle eyed Ender and then Jake, but accepted her hand happily. “Likewise.”
    I grabbed my phone and discreetly posted a text to the gossiping group chat. ‘ Did you guys know Ender had a sister?’
    My phone pinged right away. However, the broody caveman took it from me. “Eat your food, Beauty. You were starved not even ten minutes ago.” His voice was firm and almost scolding. He handed me my plate and I grabbed my fork, taking a bite of pasta. He leaned in, his lips touching my ear. “We’ll talk later,” he added and I nodded. Oh, we sure would, I grumbled under my breath.
    Chewing my food in silence, I listened as they caught up with Giselle. I looked for Woody, wondering what got him sidetracked from this big reunion. He stood with a hand in his pocket, holding a beer, and staring at the bar. I followed his line of vision to where Chance and Cindy chatted. Cindy wore a tight white pair of capris with a salmon off the shoulder top and nude pumps. Her curves on full display, and Woody couldn’t help himself but stare. I couldn’t blame him. I elbowed Abel, pointing toward the two. Woody in a drunkin’ daze swayed, but his eyes never left Cindy. When Cindy finally acknowledged him, she gave him the finger. He returned her insult with a grab of his junk and a hearty laugh.
    “They’re making progress, I see.” The sarcasm dripped from Abel’s voice. He laughed out loud, obviously amused by Woody’s response. That earned him another
