Chapter 17
“Vex. I have to do something. I’m going to go nuts sitting around your cabin while you’re at the warehouse. Maybe I could work there? Sweep? File?” Angel propped her hands on her hips as she strolled back and forth across the family room. She had to get him to understand somehow.
“Our cabin, Baby girl. You’re still recovering. You’re not built for physical activity, anyway. What kind of job did you have before?” Vex asked. He was incredibly unbothered by her need to do more than lounge on the couch. He didn’t get it!
“I can do as much physical activity as the next woman,” she argued. “I always worked out and kept myself fit.”
“There’s a difference, Angel, between playing tennis at the country club and moving a fifty-pound supply bag around.”
“Are you trying to piss me off, because you’re doing a really good job of it,” Angel demanded.
“I’m being honest, Baby girl. I understand you’re bristling because your life is completely topsy-turvy. Let’s see if we can figure out what’s best for you.”
Angel slumped, her anger evaporating as he didn’t react the way she expected. “I don’t know what to do. I like being with you, but I need more. Honey and Winnie go to work. Caroline writes all day long.”
“And you’re here by yourself. Okay, let’s take this one step at a time. Your health was drastically impacted by being held in horrible conditions. I’d suggest we need to first find out if you’ve recovered physically enough to consider what to do.”
“How do I figure that out?”
“What do you think about going to an appointment with Razor and letting him give you a physical and run some tests? We already have discussed birth control. At this appointment, we can talk to him about making sure you’re protected from pregnancy before you’re ready for that,” Vex suggested.
“I don’t want to risk a baby while we are sure the Ravagers are still out there ready to pounce,” Angel said. An unfamiliar warmth kindled inside her. She liked that Vex had never indicated that he was anti-children. Had he thought of building a family with her? She might like to have kids someday. With him.
“Exactly. They won’t always be around. So? We start with an appointment with Razor?” Vex asked.
Angel hesitated. Razor understood what she had gone through and had checked on her when Vex had rescued her. “Will he give me birth control without examining me? That might be strange because we see him and Honey so often.”
“Razor takes care of everyone in the MC and the Littles. Honey knows that her Daddy is a doctor. Are you worried about him seeing you without your clothes?”
“Yes. But if he can prescribe something without me getting undressed, that’s great,” Angel answered.
“Razor won’t do that. He’s serious about doing no harm. He definitely doesn’t hand out medicine as if drugs come out of a gumball machine. Ask Honey if she’d be okay with Razor being your doctor if talking to her would reassure you.”
“I guess I could do that. I’ll try to run into her next week.” How in the world she’d ever bring up that subject, Angel didn’t have a clue. What if Honey got mad at her?
Vex’s movement drew her attention from worrying about her friend’s reaction. She glanced up to see him raise his phone to his ear. Had his phone buzzed?
“Hey, Razor. Is Honey with you? Angel’s worried about upsetting Honey by coming to see you. Would you mind putting the phone on speaker so they can talk?”
Immediately, Angel waved her hands in front of her to ask him to stop. What was he doing? She didn’t know what to say.
“…course. Honey, Angel wanted to speak to you about her appointment with me.”
“Hi, Angel. Daddy’s making me clean my nursery. Thanks for saving me.”
“You can pick up the puzzle pieces you threw at Daddy and chat at the same time, Little girl,” Razor reminded her.
Angel’s eyes got big, and she looked immediately at Vex. Honey had tossed something at her Daddy? That was so naughty. “We could call back later if that would be better?” Angel crossed her fingers, hoping Honey would take her up on that.
“No. This is good. I can multitask,” Honey answered, stressing the last word.
“Don’t be sassy, Little girl. Your bottom will not be happy,” Razor said firmly. His warning sent a shiver down Angel’s spine.
“Sorry, Daddy,” Honey said quickly before changing the subject. “You have an appointment with my Daddy, Angel?”
“Maybe? I….” Unable to think quickly of a good way to say this, Angel blurted, “I don’t want to upset you. Is it weird if Razor treats me as my doctor?”
“Weird?” Honey echoed. “Oh, you mean because he’ll see you naked?”
Angel backpedaled. “Only if absolutely necessary. I can go to someone else if that’s better.”
