“What a twat.” She says. I’m shocked at first but burst out laughing shortly after. “When I found out I was pregnant with Posey, I went to tell my ex and he decided to humiliate me in the middle of the cafeteria. Claimed that I cheated and tried to pawn the child on him because I knew he was going to make it big in the NFL. My parents disowned me because they believed the lies that he spewed. They said that they couldn’t have a daughter tainting the family name like I had done. There were other words mixed in there, but none that are wise to repeat. So, I’ve been doing things on my own ever since. I finished high school with the help of the people that owned the diner I worked at. They would keep Posey while I went to school. Then again when I was working my butt off to get enough money for college courses. It took me a lot longer than normal to get my degree, but I was working two full-time jobs while raising my daughter. In the end, I got my degree and now I’m here.”

“Not many people can do what you did at a young age.” She startles at the sound of Westyn’s voice. She didn’t know they had made their way into the room, but I saw them come in when she first started speaking. It pisses me off that her ex and parents did that. I’m not sure what to make of these feelings that she’s causing to come arise in my body, and I’m not sure I want to make sense of them right now. I’ve got too much shit on my plate with trying to get my son settled and comfortable. I don’t know what the future holds, but I do know that this woman has captured my attention.

“I didn’t hear you guys come in. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to blabber on like that. I normally keep to myself. I don’t like to talk about my past because that’s where it should stay. I’ve done what I thought was right with raising my daughter and I believe that I’ve done a great job. It’s another reason why I took this job.” She explains.

“What do you mean?” Axyl asks as the rest of the brothers take a seat.

“I mean, I’ll make more working this job than I was making at the diner and store combined. Posey will be getting her license in December and she’ll need her own car. She can’t take the test in my beater. She plays softball and volleyball. She needs new equipment for both this year. I’d also like to be able to put more in savings for her college. This job will allow me to do all those things.” She explains.

“So, you’re going to get her a new car while you drive around a beater with a heater?” I question. “Why not get yourself a new car and give her the old one?”

“She deserves it. I made a deal with her when she got her learners permit that if she kept up with her straight A’s and doing well in sports, I’d get her a car of her choice. I want to give my daughter everything she wants. I want her to flourish. I want better for her than I had. I’ll get myself a new car later on down the line. Mine works exceptionally well for being older than I am.” She says. I admire this woman. Going without just so her daughter can have whatever her heart desires. She’s a hell of a better mother than Megan. That’s for damn sure.

“That’s very admirable of you. I have five kids and, soon to be six, so when they get older, they’re working for their vehicle. If I were to promise my kids a car for keeping their grades up and doing well in whatever they were doing, I’d be broke by the time the last one was out of diapers.” Axyl jokes, earning a laugh from Alanis.

“Well, I would be the same way if I had that many children.” She says. Her laugh is something I could listen to for the rest of my life. Her smile lights up the room, and I may or may not be drooling. I try, and fail, to wipe the corners of my mouth unnoticed. Doc catches my eye and winks at me. Asshole. It’s not my fault she’s fucking amazing. She’s selfless, and beautiful, smart, and her fucking laugh could get me off by itself. I want to know everything about her.

“Alright, I’m sure you’re ready to get to work so let’s get this over with.” Westyn says. Snoopy hands her a stack of papers. “I just need you to fill these out. It’s for your background check, references, tax information, and the other typical stuff that comes with new hires. I do have one question that I need you to be completely honest on.” Westyn looks into Alanis’s eyes, and she gives him a nod before she starts to work on the stack of papers. “Are your ex or parents going to be a problem? As soon as you accepted that job offer, you and your daughter became family to the BAMC. I want to know if anything is going to come to our doorstep before it happens.” Alanis stills and starts worrying her lip between her teeth, causing my cock to jump in my jeans. Fuck I need to get laid. Maybe she’ll be up for a round or two when I show her where her office is.

“Sweetheart, you can tell us. We’re not going to take the job away. We’ve recently had issues with two of our ol’ ladies and didn’t have a warning with either of those. We just want the truth.” Axyl says.

“Last week my parents were outside my job. I haven’t seen them since they kicked me out, so I was surprised to see them. They may be a problem, but only for me. They want me to do what I was born for and marry one of their associates. They said that they’d make sure that Posey was sent into the system and buried deep enough to never be found.” She says and my blood roars through my veins. No one is going to take my woman away.My woman?Where in the hell did that come from? I guess my mind made itself up without my knowledge.

“No one will get to you babe. Trust me on that.” I grind out through clenched teeth, taking her and everyone by surprise. It’s not long before my brothers get knowing smiles on their faces. Fucking pricks. She nods and gets back to work. “When you finish with the paperwork, I’ll show you to your office.”

“You’ll be making thirty-two dollars an hour. You’ll be doing the books for here, our repair shop, tattoo parlor, and our safe haven, along with any other businesses we open in the future. All the books will be brought to you here, unless you choose to go get them. You could have an office at any of the buildings, but the office here will be larger and more comfortable. Posey can just ride here with one of the moms that pick the kids up from school. You’ll have Saturday’s and Sunday’s off. We have a weekly dinner here at the clubhouse. It’s normally on Sundays, but when there is a run that runs into the weekend, we have it earlier. My mom called my dad and informed us that you agreed to come tonight. Welcome to the family. If you need anything find a brother with a patch. They’ll point you in the right direction.” With that, everyone leaves the room except for Alanis and me.

It doesn’t take her long to finish the paperwork and hand it to me. I follow her out and show her to the hallway that leads to the offices. “This is Snoopy’s office. He’s the Secretary and our computer nerd. He’ll do your background check. I’m just going to give him this.” I open the door to see Snoopy getting his cock sucked by one of the club girls. That’s what I get for not knocking. I hear a gasp from behind me and turn to see a red-faced Alanis behind me. I notice her squeezing her thighs together as she bites her lip. Seems my little minx likes watching. I throw the pile on his desk and lead her towards her office.

Once we’re behind the closed door of her office, my lips are on hers. Breaking away after we’re breathless, I nip down her jaw. “Did you like what you saw baby girl? You should know, I don’t share what’s mine.”

“Eliot.” Comes out in a breathless whisper. “I-I’m not yours.” I chuckle, bringing one hand to rest on her hip and the other to cup her full breast.

“Oh, baby girl, that’s where you’re wrong. You are mine. I’m claiming you as mine. I’ll wait until you’re ready, but make no mistake, you are my ol’ lady.” Before she can reply, my lips are back on hers in a deep and passionate kiss.

One Month Later

Posey and I have been here for a month now and we’ve settled into a routine. I haven’t seen Trigger, I’ve started calling him Trigger since he hasn’t spoken to me, since we were interrupted in my office a month ago. He seems to keep a wide berth between us. I’m not sure why to be honest, but I don’t have it in me to find out. If he was serious about what he told me, he would have stayed around. I’m not going to cry over a man that ghosted me. I have too much going on. At least he showed his true colors before things got complicated with sex. I still don’t know what happened back in my office. I’ve never been like that, but he brought it out in me. He made me feel things that I’ve never felt before. I don’t have time to dwell on things though. Between work and Posey’s sporting events, I’ve became even busier than I was before.

I work the accounts to four different business, some of the guys have came to me about doing their taxes and investments, and Posey has started games. There’s also talk about opening a few more businesses. I have never missed a game and I’m not about to start now. I’ve hung out with Aliana and Hannah a few times. They’re great. Hannah has been complaining about not being able to have sex yet. I chuckle to myself as I remember our conversation the other day about sex. They were shocked that it had been fifteen years and counting for me. They asked what happened between Trigger and I in my office. I told them that someone knocked and called him away. I told them that I haven’t seen or heard from him since then.

“So, he’s going to be one of those guys.” Hannah says, catching me off guard.

“One of what guys?” I question confused. We’re sitting at the bar in the clubhouse before we leave to go to Posey’s game. Ali and Hannah have started coming to all of her games. Reaper, Hannah’s ol’ man, and Cannon, Ali’s ol’ man, have started coming as well. They love to watch her play just as much as I do.

“The type of guy that fights his feelings for a woman. Hell, Jackson was trying to get me to agree to be his ol’ lady within the first week I was here. I was the stubborn one in that scenario though.” Hannah replies. Is that what he’s doing? Fighting this pull that we seem to have between us. I’m not sure, but I don’t have time for games. Either you want to be with me, or you don’t.

“It doesn’t matter. I don’t have time to play these teenage games. I did that once and it got me humiliated in front of the entire school and kicked out of my parents’ house. If he wants to be with me then he needs to nut up. I have a daughter to raise, and he has a son. We’re both adults with responsibilities.” I say.

“Damn right! Preach sister! These men don’t know what’s in front of them until they lose it. I would know. It took me going away and coming back with my ex on my ass for Axyl to come to his senses and claim me.” Ali said. “You need to get laid. Fifteen years is a hell of a long time to not get some.”

“My vibrator works wonders thank you. I have a stock in the battery company. I don’t need a man to do something I can do just fine by myself.” I say. I may have gone through a lot of batteries over the past fifteen years, but at least I scratched the itch when it reared its ugly head.

“Fuck me. What did we just walk into?” I turn to the sound of the voice. Cannon and Reaper are standing behind me. I’m assuming they were on their way to their women. I look at my watch and see that it’s almost time to leave for the game. I haven’t called any of the men by their real names. Just their road names. It seems personal on some level. I’m not a part of their family. I’m just their employee whose daughter is friends with a member’s daughter. Not to mention, my fifteen-year-old daughter has a crush on a member’s son. His name is Gavin. He’s seventeen and in college. He graduated last year when he was sixteen. He’s a smart boy and has a good head on his shoulders. I’m just glad she’s not crushing over a criminal or something. These men aren’t criminals, but they’re too old for her.

“Alanis has a stock in the battery company because she goes through a lot with her trusty vibrator. She hasn’t had sex in fifteen years. Before you ask, nothing happened in her office because they were interrupted, and he’s been keeping his distance ever since.” Ali kindly informs everyone around, causing my cheeks to heat to a bright red.
