Page 158 of Seeds of Malice

Cindy waves her hand. "Just the normal paperwork that you're going to agree to abide by the rules, that you know the sisterhood song, that whatever happens in our sorority is confidential, and blah, blah, blah. We can't break the circle of trust, now can we?"

"No, of course not," Lilly answers.

"Great." She holds a pen out to me. "Sign it so I can take it downstairs."

This all seems silly to me, but it is what it is. I quickly glance at the paperwork and start signing, initialing that I know the pledge. The next form declares I know the song, and I soon tire of reading stupid forms. I blurt out, "This seems a little excessive."

Avery scoffs. "Yep! Don't waste your time reading it all. It's boring shit."

"Here." Cindy opens each page to where I have to sign or initial.

I stop scanning and just initial and sign my name where needed. When I'm done, Cindy sets it down and grabs another clipboard. "Your turn, Lilly."

Lilly signs.

Cindy grabs the clipboard with my papers on it. "I'm going to take this downstairs. See you later." She leaves.

"So what's next?" Lilly questions.

"Well, you know that our brotherhood frat, Alpha Omega Tau, is here tonight, right?" Avery answers.

My stomach flips. I'm unsure why. I question, "The entire frat?"

"Yep. They're always at our rush parties, just like we're at theirs. Oh, don't worry. Their party's next week, and you're going to have the front row sitting next to me because you're going to be part of the sisterhood," Avery beams again.

A mix of excitement and uneasiness fills me. Part of me wants this. But part of me still is unsure.

I have to be a Gamma to marry into Dax's family.

He designed my ring!

His voice pops into my head again."Promise me you'll do anything to get in."

I push away the uneasiness and focus on my excitement.

"Awesome, I love frat parties," Lilly states.

Marcey laughs. "Yeah, we've seen you at enough by now."

I'm unsure what she means. I've only been to the one frat party with Dax. He's not taken me to anymore, but most of the time we spend together, we're wrapped up in each other, and I'd much rather do that than go to any party.

Marcey states, "Are you going to give it to them or wait all night?"

"Hold your horses," Avery reprimands, then steps into a closet. She comes out with two big boxes. "These are for both of you."

They have bows on them, but it's the type of box where you just lift the lid. So Lilly and I remove the lids and pull out matching skimpy thongs and bras. The soft red crocheted material reminds me of the whore red polish Dax loves me to wear.

"It matches your nails perfectly," Avery points out.

I glance at the lingerie and declare, "This is beautiful."

Dax is going to love me in this.

"Okay, what are you waiting for? Put it on," Marcey orders.

I stare at the see-through material and gaze at her. "Now?"

"Yes, now."
