“It's all right, sweetheart,” Seer said. “We're not gonna bite you.” She smiled at him.

As she took her seat, she said to him, “Biting's okay as long as you don't draw blood.” We all fucking laughed at her. Shit, she had spunk.

“Reeanne, need to ask you, hon. Are you even eighteen yet? You look awfully young,” I said.

In answer to me, she opened her purse, pulled out her wallet, dug out her driver's license and passed it to me. As I looked at it, I saw that indeed she was. She was twenty. Damn, made me feel fucking old. She looked like a baby. I passed it to Viper, and he looked as well, before passing it on.

“That's not fake is it? Because you don't look a day over sixteen,” he said.

She then reached into her purse, pulled out a paper and slid it across to him. I watched him open it and read it before he passed it to me. It was her birth certificate stating that she clearly was twenty and would actually be twenty-one a couple months. I saw him shaking his head and glanced at the girl to see her lower lip tremble.

“Hey, there, darlin'. He isn't doubting you. We're all just a little surprised at your actual age. Be glad you look younger. One of these days you will be grateful for that.”

“Yeah, I've always been told that. But it's really hard looking this young, because people don't think I'm mature enough to handle anything serious or major. It's stopped me from getting any decent jobs. I've been having to work three fast food jobs just to scrape by, it's hard and tiring having to work every day at two jobs just to keep a roof over my head.”

Fuck, I felt something clench inside me at hearing her talking about how tough it had been on her. I remembered Screw saying how hard she had to work and that she was struggling. I looked at the other men to see they weren't unaffected either. Viper especially. Damn. He looked like he was ready to adopt another kid.

“So, tell us a little bit about yourself, Reeanne,” Seer said to her.

She took a small breath, “Up until I graduated high school, I lived with my mama. She drifted from one man to the next. Most days I didn't know where I'd be sleeping each night. I might go to school with her being at one man's house and by the time school was over, she was with another man.

“I can't tell you how many times I've gone back to a man's house just to have him tell me she wasn't there. Had a few say I could stay if I wanted to pay my way with my body. Thought about it a few times too. At least I would have had somewhere halfway permanent to stay.”

I watched as she twisted her fingers back and forth against each other. She licked her lips like they were dry. Damn, I hadn't even thought about having anything for everyone to drink.

“Just a second, darlin',” I commented and pulled out my phone and called Creed. “Hey, need you to bring a cooler of beer back here, and wait a sec. Reeanne, what would you like to drink?”

“Water is fine,” she murmured.

“C'mon darlin', what do you like to drink?” I asked her again.

“Coke would be great,” she said and smiled at me.

“You hungry?” I asked but she shook her head no.

“You get that, Creed?”

“Yeah, Prez. Will be there in a jiffy.”

“We'll wait a minute before we continue, you look thirsty, Reeanne,” I told her as I hung up my phone.

“Y'all can call me Ree. Don't really go by Reeanne,” she stated as she looked at us.

We were all nodding at her as a knock came from the hallway.

“Come on in, Creed,” I said loudly.

He opened the door, brought in a cooler and set it near the table. Then he opened it, handed each Brother a beer and Ree a Coke.

“Thanks, Creed,” I said to him. “You got that here fast. What I like to see.” He smiled at me and left the room, pulling the door closed behind him again.

I gave Ree a minute to get a drink, then said, “Continue on, darlin'.”

She sighed then spoke up, “After I graduated high school, the day I did matter of fact, my mama told me I was on my own and I haven't seen her since.”

“Fuck. How old were you when you graduated?” Viper asked, anger clearly heard in his voice.

“Seventeen. I didn't have any money and nowhere to go. Luckily, my friend April's mom let me stay with them until I got on my feet. But they were struggling too, so as soon as I could, I left.”

“Sounds like you've had a rough go, Ree,” Seer commented. “Hate that for you. But hon, do you realize what you will be required to do here? Do you even know what a club girl is?”

She looked him dead in the eye and said, “Yeah, I know what a club girl is. She is a girl who will have sex with all the members of the club.”

“You think you could handle that?” Blood asked her.

She shrugged, “I don't see why not. I'm not a virgin. I've had plenty of sex, some I didn't want.”

I heard Viper growl at that. I felt like growling my damn self.

“Ree, you realize you couldn't pick and choose who you'd be with, right? We have members who are as old as seventy who you'd have to be with. Seer is one of them.” I told her.

She looked over at Seer and smiled. “Pretty sure I could handle that. He's a damn nice-looking man.”

I blinked at her answer, slightly surprised. I glanced over at Seer to see him smiling slightly. She was right, Seer wasn't a bad looking man. He wore his silver hair down to his waist but usually it was in a
