Lani (Devils Souls MC) - LeAnn Ashers Page 0,38
of weeks. I’ve worked with the MCs for many years. I know things and I’ve signed an NDA, so don't worry about that,” she tells us, and I let out a deep breath of relief that she can be trusted.
“They need to be seen by a gynecologist, and a thorough checkup will be needed. I want to be there for that, and, Lani, I assume you want to be with them?” I nod, and she smiles sweetly.
“I’ll meet you at the clinic?” she asks, and we all nod. I think we’re just shell shocked, honestly.
We knew the girls suffered, but the thought of it starting way before they got married sadly never crossed my mind.
I know Vinny is hurting because of it. “We better get Michaela checked too. She’s probably never seen a doctor,” Trey suggests.
“I agree.”
The girls appear at the door in leggings and sweatshirts, with Lynn carrying a diaper bag. They come inside and sit down on the couch in front of us after Braelyn leaves.
“How are you feeling?” I ask them.
“I honestly feel better, unloading everything. Speaking the things you held inside for so long is so empowering, but it also makes it so real. I have hope and I know it’s okay to feel what I feel. I can move at my own pace,” Etta tells us.
My heart swells at how strong this beautiful girl is. “Wow, you’re so amazing. I’m in awe of both of you!” I walk over and start to hug them but stop in case they’re not okay with that.
Lynn laughs and tugs me down, hugging me. “Thank you for taking care of us,” she whispers in my ear, and I hug her a little tighter.
Even if Vinny and Trey didn’t agree with me taking them, I would have done it all on my own. Someway, somehow, I would have made it happen.
“I will always take care of you guys, always,” I tell them honestly. I hug Etta and wipe away her tears. “Are you guys ready to go?”
“Want me to take Michaela to the park while you guys are there?” Trey offers, and he reaches inside of the playpen, waking her up.
I sigh internally at the sight of them together. Michaela cries when he lifts her up but immediately settles the second she’s lying against his chest. He rubs her back, rocking side to side.
“That’s fine with me. I don't want her to sit for hours in the doctor’s office.”
The ride to the clinic is a gloomy one. While Vinny sits in the waiting room, Braelyn and I are going room to room to make sure the girls have the support they need.
This is the first time in their life they’ve ever been to the doctor, and Lynn had her baby at home, so she’s being checked thoroughly.
As the female doctor finishes examining Etta, the young girl grips my hand hard and I can see the sweat pouring off of her face.
It breaks my heart that she is so uncomfortable. The doctor covers her with a sheet and helps Etta sit up.
She sits down in her chair. “Everything looks okay. I don't see any kind of damage that time won’t heal. You need to heal from the last sexual assault, but I would like to see you again in six weeks so I can check you again, after you have time to heal.”
Braelyn had to leave because Lynn had a major panic attack once her examination started, so the doctor stopped and Braelyn is trying to calm her down before she goes back to see her.
Etta is so strong. I know it was hard for her, but this is something that had to be done. The doctor leaves and I stand outside of the curtain while Etta gets dressed.
“Lani? Can I ask you something?” Etta asks from behind the curtain.
“Anything.”
“Does sex always hurt? I never wanted it and I’m scared of it, but I thought the pain was normal. We were taught that women weren’t meant to feel pleasure and that it’s only meant for our husbands to keep him happy.”
She moves from behind the curtain and sits down in the chair beside me. “No, it doesn’t always hurt. The first time hurts usually, but then after that it doesn’t. Sex feels really great when you don't have a selfish partner.” I take her hand, “One day, if that’s your choice, a man will come along and you will experience something completely different. You’ll feel new, exciting, wonderful things.”
“Do you have
