Her cheeks turned a brilliant shade of red as she shifted on the tissue-covered exam table. “Daddy!”
“I think that’s a yes. Thank you, Razor,” Vex said to his MC brother. Razor had stitched him up repeatedly. Probably saved his life at least twice. However, the way Razor had taken care of his Little girl meant more than anything.
“Stop by the desk and pick up a prescription for birth control. Angel may have some spotting for a while. Experiment with Angel wearing a diaper to prevent accidents.”
When she had dressed, Vex and Angel found Razor working on charts piled everywhere. Razor picked up the script. Before handing the paper over, he met Angel’s gaze. “I heard your employer didn’t keep your job open for you. Honey told me you did something technical. I don’t suppose you know anyone that understands document management, do you?”
“Yeah, I’ve done a lot of that,” Angel answered truthfully. She nodded at the file cabinets and commented, “You really should get this organized.”
“I don’t have the hours in my schedule. Do you? Lucien has authorized me to hire someone to start here with my medical records,” Razor told her.
Vex smiled. That wily bastard. He was going to put his Little girl to work.
“This will take months,” Angel warned.
“Are you going somewhere?” Razor asked. “Lucien has more that needs loyal attention when you’d finish this task.”
“How much will you pay me?” Angel blurted.
“Lucien will discuss that with you. He’s in charge of everything around here. You have a meeting with him at two,” Razor told her. “Haggle with him. I love it when he’s focused on someone else.”
“Okay.” Angel leaned against her Daddy. “I’m tired. Could we go take a nap?”
He didn’t know how he could love anyone as much as he adored her. Vex kissed her lightly. “You’ve got it, Baby girl. Let’s go home.”
When they got to his bike, Vex placed the helmet back on her head. “No bashing Daddy,” he teased.
“I’m sorry. I didn’t behave well, and Razor was the best. Why’d he send home that doctor’s bag?”
“I needed that to care for you.”
“Why?”
“Tell me, Baby girl. Were you scared of Razor or of having someone take control away from you?” When she stiffened, she confirmed for him that the lingering effects of her abduction had caused her to panic.
He pulled her into his arms and held her tight until she relaxed again. “Losing control with me is much less traumatic than with anyone else. Little girls need specialized care. He treated you as an adult today. You and I will explore how a Little girl receives medical treatment. We’re going to strip the Ravagers’ power over you, so they can’t rob you of the benefits for being Little in all situations.”
“I hate that they still affect me,” she whispered.
“I do, too. But thanks to Razor, we have a whole toolkit to have some fun and reduce the lingering trauma.”
“He’s really smart.”
“Razor is the smartest man I’ve met. And a damn fine doctor. Lucien convincing him to join the Devil Daddies was a masterful stroke in our favor.”
“Lucien sees people differently than others do, doesn’t he?”
“Definitely. Lucien may be a heavily tattooed ex-convict, but he competes with Razor for who’s the brainiac of the Devil Daddies MC.”
“Do you think he’ll give me a job?” Angel asked. “I’d love to know you’re on the other side of the parking lot.”
“Ask Razor. I’m in the health center way too often,” Vex said with a laugh before telling her, “I’d love to have you close too. But I don’t want you to choose to work here because you’re scared. There are some things you may wish to know about the business we do here.”
“Do you do something illegal?” Her gaze searched his face.
“On the border of shady,” Vex admitted.
“Thanks for telling me the truth. I don’t want to go into anything blindly. That will add some zeroes to the salary I demand,” she told him, standing straighter.
Vex winked at her. She was so brave. “That’s my Baby girl. Let’s go home, Angel.”
She nodded and stepped back so he could swing his leg over the powerful motorcycle. “Do I sit behind you this time?”
“Can you hold on tight?” he asked.
“Yes, Daddy.”
“Good girl. Hop on.”
Vex sat by her crib as Angel took a nap. She’d fallen asleep immediately after drinking her bottle. His phone buzzed, and Vex shifted to pull the device from his back pocket. Razor had sent two links and a message.
How’s Angel? Razor asked.
She’s sleeping soundly. Thank you for treating her with kid gloves today. Vex had always thought a lot of Razor, but he understood now how skilled Razor was.
Good and my pleasure. Read the articles.
Will do, Vex promised.
If she comes to work with me, you can have lunch together.
Vex smiled. Razor wanted Angel’s expertise badly. It’s her decision, but I’ll share that benefit if you keep her from reading from my file.
