It was a beautiful warm day in Charming, as Peyton made her way across the school yard to where one of her best friends was sitting on his Harley Davidson. She smiled at him and broke into a run. Once she got to him she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him on the cheek. "Jax!" Peyton, exclaimed, "I wasnt expecting to see you until tomorrow." "Well, Clay, Ope and I got home this morning, "Ope and I had a small arguement about who was going to pick you up after school. I won." Peyton smirked. She could only imagine the "small" argument they got into about her. The last time they got in to a small argument about her, they damn near killed each other. Her uncle Bobby and Chibs had to pull them off each other. Peyton had merely snickered and walked away. She was used to them acting this way over as they had done it for years.

Jax Teller and Opie Winston were her best friends, they were 4 years older than her, but they treated her like one of the club members. She might as well have been. Her uncle Bobby was part of the club and she had basically been around the Sons of Anarchy since she was in diapers. Her parents, Dave and Joyce weren't part of the club, but they were close with the club. Peyton's mom and Jax's mom, Gemma Teller-Morrow, were best friends and her dad was very close with his brother, Bobby and another club member, Tig Trager.

Her whole family was a part of the club in one way or another and she couldn't imagine having the club in her life.

Jax grinned at her and handed her a helmet. "Get on Darlin'" Jax said with a smile, "Let's get out of here." She put on the helmet and hopped on the bike and wrapped her arms around his waist. Around the time she was 16 she had developed a little bit of a crush on him, but he had still been trying to mend his broken heart after his high school girlfriend, Tara had left him to go to medical school. Peyton was pretty sure Jax never really got over her leaving and once he finally realized that she wasn't coming back, he got in deep with the club and and slept with a different woman daily.

Jax kick started his bike and he sped out of the parking lot and down the street towards Teller-Morrow Automotive and the SOA clubhouse. She held onto him as they sped down the street. She loved being on the back of a bike, it was exhilarating and being on the back of an outlaw's bike was almost reckless and forbidden.

About ten minutes later they pulled into the lot and he turned the bike off. Peyton got off the bike and took her helmet off and turned to Jax. "Thanks for the lift Teller," she said, smiling at him. He smiled up at her and put and hand on her hip. She was wearing an pair of low rise ripped jeans and a t-shirt that showed just a little bit of her tummy and her favorite pair of Harley Davidson boots. She sucked in a breath of air when his hand brushed against her skin. She put her hand ontop of his and looked at him curiously and he quickly pulled his hand away. "Sorry," he replied as he got up and took his helmet off. With that, whatever moment they were about to have was over and he was walking towards the garage. Peyton shook her head and tried to let it roll off her shoulders.

*******
Jax took a deep breath as he walked away from her towards the office. Peyton was like his little sister, but in the last little while he began to notice her in a different way. She was beautiful and sexy with her dark eyes and her long black hair hanging in soft curls down her back. He hadn't planned for it to happen, it just did. He was sure that she kind of had a crush on him as well, but he couldn't let it happen. If they turned into something it would turn into an absolute disaster after awhile and he definitely couldn't go to her like he went to the crow eaters. Peyton was better than that.

Peyton ran upnto him and fell in stride beside him and smiled cutely at him. Everyday after school she would come to TM to help Gemma run the shop. She loved being around the club and they treated her like royalty.

"Jax...is everything ok." she asked him as she stopped them in the middle of the parking lot and reached for his hand. Jax looked down at her small hand in his and his heart pounded in his chest. Shit, he thought to himself as he looked down at her. He looked around the lot and it was quiet, there was no one around except the two of them. He reached out and ran his calloused hand through her hair. "Just confused baby girl," he answered her quietly. "About what?" she asked curiously. "You, Peyton," Jax replied, "I'm confused about how you are making me feel." With that Peyton put her hands on his shoulders and got up on her tip toes and pressed her soft lips against his. Jax put his hands on either side of her face and pushed every reason for why this was a bad idea out of his mind as he kissed her back.

It was a perfect moment, but it ended quickly as the rumble of a motor bike got Jax's attention. His hand had moved down to the small of her back as he watched the biker pull in. Peyton gave him a shy smile. "We can talk later," she said quietly before she ran towards the office. He didn't think there was much to talk about, whatever that was, it couldn't happen again.

Jax gave his head a quick shake and then slowly made his way over to the biker as he got off his bike. Jax was assuming that this was the new Prospect that Clay had told him about. At this point the rest of the club had made their way either out of the garage or the clubhouse to see what was going on. "Hey man," Jax said, holding out his hand, "Jax Teller." The guy got off his bike, took his helmet off and shook his hand. "Juice," the guy replied. He had a mowhawk and tattoos on either side of it. This guy would fit in just fine, Jax thought to himself.

*****
Peyton walked into the office and was greated by Opie, her other best friend. He was known as the gentle giant. He pulled her into his arms and gave her a big hug. She had tried her hardest to push the kiss with Jax out of her mind. She knew it was a bad idea, but she had wanted to kiss him again the moment they had stopped.

"How you doing baby girl?" he asked as he out her back on the ground. "I'm great!" she replied, smiling at him, "Glad you guys are home though." "Us too," he replied with a smile, "but i should headnout ther. I think the new Prospect just got here." Peyton shooed him outmof thenoffice and then sat down at the desk and started working on the paper work that Gemma had left for her.

As she plugged her way through the work on the deskmshe found herself thinking back to the kiss. The feel of Jax's facial hair against her face as he kissed her, his hands on her face, the warmth of his hands on her skin. She wished that he would come in the office right now and kiss her again, maybe even use the desk to their beneifit. She grinned sligtly at the thought just as the office door opened and in walked Jax.

She stood up and slowly walked towards him. He smiled at her but out his hands up to stop her. "Peyton..." Jax said quietly and sincerely, "you know just as well as I do that this would be a bad idea. I loved it and it felt good and I haven't stopped thinking about you since, but I'm looking out for both us when I tell you that it shouldn't happen again. Peyton, we both know it will end badly for us." Peyton knew Jax was right but she would be lying if she had said it didn't hurt a little. "You're right," she replied quietly, looking down at her hands, "it just felt right and so good in the moment. It felt good to kiss you. I was always curious about what it would feel like." He smiled at her and he grabbed her gently. "Then one more for good measure," he whispered, his voice cracking and full of desire. She wrapped her arms around his neck and they slowly leaned in.

They jumped as someone knocked on the office door. They quickly pulled apart, but not fast enough for Gemma. She didn't make a big deal about what she thought she saw. She just smiled at the two of them and sat down at the desk. "Didn't you come in here to get Peyton and introduce her to the new guy?" Gemma asked, "because I know you didn't come in here to do whatever it was that you were about to do." Jax smiled at his mom and nodded.

Jax held out his hand for Peyton and she took it and he led her outside. They walked in silence across the lot to the picnic table in front of the clubhouse where everyone was hanging out. "Peyton, I would like you to meet Juice," Jax said as Juice stood up with a beer in his hand, "he is our new prospect, the one I've been telling you about." "It's nice to meet you," Juice said happily with a big smile on his face.

Peyton reached for his hand and looked up at the man standing in front of her. In a matter of seconds everything that had happened that afternoon had disappeared from her mind. She looked into his chocolate brown eyes and it felt like heart had stopped. He was absolutely beautiful to her. "I'm Peyton," she said so quietly, he had to strain his neck to hear her, "Welcome to the club." Juice flashed her the most beautiful smile that she had ever seen in her life.

In that moment Peyton knew she was in trouble.
