When I stepped in the common room, I saw Eve waiting by the bottom of the stairs. I skipped up to her with a smile. “Ready.”
Eve nodded and led me up the stairs. We went down some halls before we stopped in front of a door. “This is my room. Tech and I permanently live in the club.”
Her tone sounded like she was worried what I’d think about it.
“That’s cool.”
Eve’s shoulders dropped. She opened the door and moved in, stepping aside for me.
“Oh my God, it’s a window seat.” I walked right over to it. “I love window seats. I got Dad to put one in my room, but it’s not as big as this.” Looking out the window, I saw the back of the property where the trees overtook the land. “Sweet view.”
“Thanks,” Eve said.
Turning, I made my way over to her and picked up the bag she’d put on the bed. Peeking, I gasped and pulled out the box. “This colour is going to look awesome on you.” Her blonde hair would soak up the red just nicely. Opening the box, I went to the door that led to the bathroom. “Should we do it in here?”
“Probably. I don’t want red on the carpet.”
“Ha, true. If I made a mess, it would look like you killed someone.” I looked around the spacious bathroom and said, “You’ll need a chair.”
I heard the wheels before she pushed one into the room. “Got it.”
“Perfect. It says it works best on damp hair.” I pulled the shower curtain back and grabbed the hose connected to one of the showerheads. I glanced back and tipped my head toward the shower. “Get over here.”
Eve nodded before she grabbed a towel from the shelves that were embedded in the wall to place over her shoulders.
I started the water and made sure the temperature was perfect before I had her move closer.
“I can do this part myself,” she said.
“I know” was all I said.
I wanted to do it for her, though.
She eyed me for a moment before moving up beside me and resting her hands on the edge of the bath to flick her hair over as she bent. I gently brushed my fingers through her soft locks at the base, making sure all strands were forward and then let the water flow over, darkening them to a medium blonde.
They weren’t long, just past her shoulders, but Eve had a thick head of hair.
Once I shut off the water, I said, “All done. Towel dry it a bit and then I’ll get to work.”
I left her there and went to read the instructions again. They were pretty much the same as what we had in Australia. I was to part in sections, root to ends, use the gloves, mix the formulas, and start.
When Eve took a seat, I placed half of her hair up before breaking it into three where I tied two up.
Eve watched me in the mirror as I pulled on the gloves after I’d mixed it all together in the provided tub.
“This is the quietest you’ve been,” Eve said.
Laughing, I shrugged. “Sometimes I can be. If I’m busy and my mind is on a task, like when I’m working or sexing it up with someone.” I lifted my gaze to catch her blush. “But again, if I say anything you don’t like, let me know. I won’t get offended. I know I can be a bit much for some people.”
Eve waved me off and kept her eyes on my hands as I worked in the colour with the brush. “It doesn’t bother me. I guess… I guess people think that about me too. That I’m a bit much. Especially the club girls. They don’t know how to take me.”
“Why do you think that?”
“I’m not girly girly, and if they’re being bitches, I tell them, which they don’t like. I even deal out punishments if I have to. Like when they screw over the brothers or hurt one of my people.”
“You’re the alpha female. You have to keep a little distance from the club girls to make sure they do as they’re told. It makes sense they tread carefully around you, and it’s good to have that distance. I’m sure the brothers appreciate you being the one to deal with them when they step out. It’s like that at home with Mum and the club girls. And I’m sure, like Mum, you have your own posse like Dusty, Courtney, Raya, and Wrenley who would help if asked, right? They’d do anything for you because you’re their person. And they aren’t the only ones who would help and enjoy your time and company and call you a friend. I’ve seen you with a lot of the other brothers.”
She deadpanned. “I’m Tech’s sister, and we’ve been here for a fucking long time.”
