"I see the other women don't mess with Blade and don't come near you." Raine questiond Carmen. "I earned their fear. When Blade first made me his Old lady, I had a couple giving me grief." Carmen explained. "So, what did you do?" Raine asked. "I cut the main bitch!" Carmen explained. "What? Did you kill her?" Raine asked. "Nah. I just sliced her cheek. She lived. Sometimes you have to make a grand stand ya know. Make an example out of one of those bitches!" Carmen laughed. "Yeah, I'm beginning to realize that. But I couldn't cut anyone." Raine replied. "You just have to find what works for you." Carmen replied. "Are you the only old lady?" Raine asked. "No. I.T. has Ginger. Have you met her? They have their own house like we do, and she hardly ever comes to the clubhouse. She's really shy and sweet. And some of the older guys have old ladies. They all have houses and hardly ever come to the clubhouse." Carmen explained. "So that's why I've not seen I.T.?" Raine asked. "That

They headed back downstairs to the party. The guys catcalled and whistled making Raine blush. Her and Jax walked over to the bar and sat down. "By the way, I fired Candy. So, we're short a stripper now." Raine explained. "Jeez, thanks!" Jax muttered. "I have an idea." Raine replied. "Dare I ask?" Jax asked. "There are quite a few women that come to the bar. I think most come to see the bikers. So why not have a male stripper or two?" Raine asked. "You're joking?" Jax asked in disbelief. "Nope. Think about it. You could use brothers or prospects. Or even hire male strippers. The women would pay good money, and it would probably drag in more business." She explained. I've been looking online at the male stripper organizations. There's a few of them, and there is a ton of revenue going into those businesses from what I could tell." Raine explained. "You've been checking out other naked males?" Jax growled. "Yes. Like you don't see other naked women on a daily basis? Are you rea

Afterwards, mom had to work two jobs. I tried to help out best I could. I bought everything I could used. Hell, even my bras and panties came from second hand thrift stores or goodwill.” She explained.I just wanted to not be a big burden money wise to mom. Her jobs were crappy and paid crappy. Kim and Sam even gave me their clothes they didn't want. Hell, half the stuff they gave me they bought brand new to give me." Raine paused to see how the guys are taking in what she's said. "I can imagine the kids at school. We're they mean to you?" Jax asked. Raine smiled. "At first they were. But I shut that shit down really quick. I loved my parents and they did their best. I was not letting anyone make me feel bad because of how we lived.” Her voice got rough.“I broke the main bitch’s nose when she started her shit and the rumors. Kim and Sam backed me. After that everyone knew that they had the trio to deal with if they started anything.” She shrugged.“Afterwards if they said anything,

"Funding comes out of my account. This is my old lady's problem, and it doesn't have anything to do with the club. I never buy anything anyway, so my money is just sitting there not being used. I.T. I'll let you handle that." Jax explained. I.T. came up with dirt on the doctor. He's a big gambler and doesn't do very well. He's also sleeping with one of his nurses. His wife doesn't know and would leave him and take everything. Especially since he married her for her money. The guys talk with the grandfather. To be 76 he's still mentally stable and agreed to help them take down his grandson. He still had a few connections too. Club meeting a few weeks later. "What we have is purely circumstantial. We need either solid proof or a confession." Jax explained. "I just don't think he's stupid enough for that brother." Ice replied. "I did manage to find the vehicle that ran her mom off the road. I checked the service station videos before and after the wreck. There was a black F150 there

"And it seems his doctor had a change of heart. Once Junior is out of the way, he'll release Senior with a clean bill of health." Jax replied. "Good. He was always kind to me. He told Marty he wasn't good enough for a girl like me. Marty hated it of course. I never knew why the man was always so hard on him. I guess he knew his true colors and Marty probably deserved his treatment." Raine replied. "You know you have to allow yourself to be taken, but not obvious about it. Just do like you would in the past. Use his cockiness against him. Hopefully, his arrogance will be his downfall." Jax explained. "I know, I'll do my best. I guess we'll see what kind of actress I am." Raine replied. "Just don't push his buttons too much. And as soon as you're at his house or in his jet, lock yourself in the bathroom. Then say the code word." Jax explained. "Ah yeah about that. Pick another code word." Raine commanded. "What's wrong with the one I chose?" Jax asked. "I'll laugh myself to death
