Author's note: I hope you all enjoy this story. It popped into my head so I decided to write it before I forgot about it. It's more fun and upbeat than my other drama filled ones so I think it's going to be really fun to write. I'm working on the next chapters of my other two so for those that are following those, the updates are coming! Thank you for reading and as always reviews are appreciated!
SAINT THOMAS HOSPITAL WELCOMES TARA KNOWLES, M.D. TO IT'S STAFF AS THE NEW CHIEF OF PEDIATRIC SURGERY.
Tara frowned at the picture under the headline. They could have picked a more flattering photo of her, this one made her look to skinny and extremely pale. She looked sickly.
Her parents bought every newspaper they could get their hands on to send to distant relatives and friends, they were always her biggest supporters. Everyone else assumed she would follow in the footsteps of her parents, no one thought she would leave Nevada and become a surgeon and surely not the Chief of surgery.
Tara's dad, Andrew was the Vice President of the Devil's Tribe. He and his best friend started the club back in the sixties. Her mom, Grace had embraced the club with open arms when she met Andrew. He and Jury were just getting started when her mom came into the picture. They were a family. Jury was more like Tara's Uncle than her dad's real brothers.
Tara had always strived for excellence, even at a young age. She maintained straight A's since elementary all through school. She even had perfect attendance every year except one since kindergarten and that's when she had the flu and had to miss three days. She was smart, she graduated at the top of her class. Some said that it wasn't to impressive since her graduating class was only 35 people, but to her parents it was the best thing in the world. Her class would have been a lot bigger but there were a lot of drop outs, boys wanting to prospect and girls wanting to be there for the members in anyway they could.
Tara had heard the whispers all growing up, she heard people say how pretty she was and how she was going to make a good old lady. She also heard the people who weren't fond of the club saying it wouldn't be long before she would follow in her mother's footsteps, she would give up her life to take on the man and his club. She refused to be another statistic, those rumors only made her work that much harder.
All of her hard work had finally paid off, she was standing in her new house in Charming, California. She had several job openings but her father had persuaded her to take this one. He said it was because Charming was a lot closer to home than all of those other places but she had a feeling it had more to do with the fact that Uncle Jury was close to the MC in Charming. He had even came out with them to help her get settled and introduce her to the club just in case she should ever need them for anything.
She was taking everything in. Her new town, her new house. It was beautiful. A small two bedroom cream-colored house on the outskirts of town. It had enough room for her parents to come visit but was small enough she didn't spend her time off trying to keep it clean. It was perfect.
She liked the atmosphere of the town too. The people she has seen in passing seem real friendly, the name seemed to fit the town perfectly. She had a feeling she was really going to like this place.
They arrived at a place called TM, the lot was full of people in kuttes. This felt like home to her.
Her mom and dad exchanged greetings with some of the people, Tara couldn't remember meeting any of them. Her mom told her that she had but it was back when she was three so there was no memory of it.
"Gemma, this is my baby Tara." Grace announced proudly with her arm wrapped around Tara's shoulder.
"Oh my look how pretty she is baby." Gemma got JT's attention who was laughing with Jury, Andrew, and Piney.
"Yeah, you have a beautiful girl, Drew. How are you not in prison for killing all of those boys who come calling?" JT laughed.
"I've got 'em buried in the basement." Andrew winked at her. "I need you all to look after her for me. She's my pride and joy, big time surgeon over at ST. Thomas now." He glowed with pride staring at her.
"Chief of Pediatric Surgery." Grace added, hugging Tara into her side.
"Wow. That's great. Congratulations sweetheart." Gemma hugged her too. Tara felt a little ackward getting all of this attention from .
"We will take care of her, Grace don't you worry. You all are practically family and we always take care of our family." Gemma looped her arm through JT's.
"You got that right." JT agreed. "She's in good hands don't you worry."
"Come here boys." Piney yelled to the two bikers that just entered the lot.
"Opie, Jax, Tommy, meet Tara Knowles. She's Andrew's girl." Piney announced.
Tara's eyes met the most beautiful pair of blue eyes she had seen in her life.
"Nice to meet you all." She looked at each one of them, her eyes darting back to those beautiful eyes again.
"Hey darlin', I'm Jax. It's nice to meet you too." He stepped forward, holding out his hand to her.
The moment she stuck her hand in his it was like electricity. She had never felt anything like it before, she pulled her hand back and shook her head to clear her thoughts. She noticed he had the same expression as her, she wondered if he felt it too.
"I'm Opie, nice to meet you." The taller one simply nodded.
"I'm Tommy." The smallest one in the group stepped forward holding out a hand to her. "You're beautiful." He blushed as if he hadn't meant to say that out loud.
"Thank you. You're very sweet." She replied, her eyes darting back to Jax's before turning back to Tommy. "You two kind of look alike, are you brothers?" She asked.
"Good eye, darlin'." Jax crooned.
"Boys, go help Tara unpack her boxes from the U-haul at her place while we catch up with Uncle Jury, Drew, and Grace." JT ordered, chuckling at his boys. This could get very interesting.
"Lead the way darlin'." Jax stated, smiling down at her.
"Well, I'll need a ride back to my place. Which one of you would like to help me out with that?" She smiled innocently.
"Hop on." Jax patted the seat of his bike.
"You could ride with me, Jax tends to drive fast. I don't want it to scare you." Tommy offered her his helmet.
Tara chuckled, "You're so sweet." She took the helmet from him.
"You don't wanna ride with Tommy, I'll go easy darlin'. Promise." Jax held out his hand to her.
"What if I don't like it easy?" She stood up on her toes and whispered in his ear, laughing when his mouth dropped open.
"I think I can help you out with that too." He leaned in closer to her. "You just say the word."
"Careful Jax, I might just take you up on that." She winked.
"Tommy, I need you to go help Chibs with that repo on Miller Street." JT called out. He could already see where this was going to go and didn't want his youngest son heartbroken.
"Pop, I was going to help Tara." Tommy protested.
"It's okay, you can come help later if we don't have it all unpacked." Tara offered.
"I guess that settles it then," Jax chuckled handing her his helmet. "climb on darlin."
She leaned in close and wrapped her arms securely around him. She was enjoying every moment of being that close to him, she inhaled his scent. He smelled amazing, she wasn't sure what type of cologne he wore but mixed with oil and his sweat.
Jax and Opie had helped her unload all of the boxes in her house.
"I need to get all of this stuff put away so I'm not going to come back to TM, I think I'll just order a pizza. Thank you for all of your help though. I really appreciate it guys." She leaned against the wall, staring in Jax's eyes.
"Anytime. I need to get back though, Donna will be off work soon." Opie walked to the door. "You coming brotha?"
"Nah, I think pizza sounds good." Jax smirked. "That is if you don't mind the company?"
She nodded. "Of course, it's the least I could do after you spent an hour carrying boxes."
"I'll catch ya later." Op waved leaving the two of them alone.
The energy in the room was intense. It was like a magnet drawing them closer to each other.
"So about what you said earlier?" Jax stepped up to her, his body just inches from her.
"...and what was that?" She purred.
"Something about you not liking it easy?" Jax inched closer to her, his body almost flush against hers now.
She ran her tongue over her lips seductively. "...Yeah, I don't. I don't normally do this either though." She was breathing heavily, fighting the urge to pull him to her, rip his clothes off, and have him right there on her livingroom floor.
"Do what?" He whispered.
"This." She gestured between the two of them. "I'm not the kind of girl that jumps into bed with someone she barely knows."
"Oh darlin' if I have a say in the matter you're going to know me very well." He placed his forehead against hers and placed in hand on the small of her back pulling her lower body forward against his erection pushing through his jeans.
"Yeah." She took a deep breath again, she wanted this and she wanted him very badly but she just couldn't. She didn't want him to think she was just another slut wanting the old lady mark. "This will have to wait until that time." She side stepped out of his grasp.
"Are you sure? We could do this now?" He leaned against the wall, trying to hide his disappointment.
"I'm sure. I mean I want this, don't think I don't. I just want to get to know you first. I want to.." She paused, the look he gave her sent a tingling sensation all through her body. She grabbed the back of his head, attacking his mouth with hers. He picked her up and she wrapped her legs around his waist. He had her clothes off in minutes, taking her breast into his mouth. He sat her down but sunk his fingers into her wetness. She threw her head back, moaning loudly.
"I, I'm sorry." They both froze momentarily, seeing Tommy's back retreat out the door.
"Shit." Jax threw on his pants. He knew his brother was going to be upset, he could tell by the way he acted at TM that he was into her.
"Bro wait up." Jax called after him.
Tara felt horrible, she could hear Tommy screaming at Jax.
"How could you? You knew I liked her. You can have any girl here you want, hell you do have any girl here you want. Why this one? You fuck a new girl every night, you don't need her too!"
"Bro, I'm sorry. It just happened." Jax said quietly, almost to quietly for Tara to hear.
"It just happened. Bullshit. You just needed a new conquest because the ones here are getting old. You have to sink your dick into every new pussy that comes into town and normally I don't care but I liked her! Of course, she liked you though, they all like you. They fall for your darlin shit you spit out and think you really care for them but you don't. You don't care about anyone but yourself." Tommy was still shouting.
"I'm sorry bro." Jax stated again. "You're wrong.."
"That's all this was? A new conquest for you." Tara interrupted him. She was seething.
"No." Jax turned to her, "It's not like that."
"Bullshit, it's always like that. You have fucked nearly every girl in this town, you're known as the lady killer for fuck's sake. You're gonna try to claim that this girl that you just met today changed all of that? I call bullshit. You're Jax Teller, Prince of Charming, the king of hit it and quit it pussy. " Tommy's voice was quieter but full of rage.
"...and you I guess I was wrong about you. I thought when I first saw you that you were different. You're smart, you work on kids, but you fell for him after only a few hours and dropped your pants for him so I guess you're no better than all of the other crow-eaters." Tommy hopped on his bike and sped off before either of them could reply.
Tara sat on her steps, her head in her hands. "He's right." She finally said.
"No, he's not. I can't explain what this is, Tara. It's nothing I've ever experienced, it's like a magnet pulling me to you. You're not like those girls, even after today I want to get to know you. I want to know everything about you." He knelt down in front of her rubbing her knee.
"Yeah, probably because you didn't finish your conquest after that you'll be gone." She glared at him.
"You're wrong and I will prove that to you darlin." He stated, he stood up and stared at her. She stared at the ground, the anger that was flowing through her body was disappearing. She had no right to be mad at him, she was angry at herself for allowing this to happen. She hated that Tommy was upset but she couldn't deny the feelings she had for Jax.
"I guess we'll see then." She waved giving him a small smile.
"We will." He watched her go into the house, he would have to go home and jack off after this and he would have to make ammends with his brother but he wouldn't regret this, not today, not ever.
Tara leaned against her door sighing. Part of her wished he would come back in here, pick her up and fuck her into next week but the rational part of her knew this was wrong. It wasn't like her to drop her panties for random guys, she was the sensible one all through high school and college. She was 19 when she lost her virginity, when all of her friends were in their early teens. She had plenty of opportunity just like them, she just never felt this kind of pull. This was something new all together. She hadn't even felt like this with Wade and she was almost ready to marry him until she caught him in bed with his ex girlfriend.
She was curious to see what happened next, she was almost certain he would just disappear and move on to the next girl who didn't give a damn if he cared about her or not, just wanting his attention.
"I heard there was quite a ruckus here today with Jax and Tommy." Grace approached her daughter.
"You heard about that? Already? Ugh who else knows?" Tara was mortified, she never dreamed word would get out this quickly.
"Everyone at TM," Grace smirked at the grimace Tara was now sporting. "We all saw it actually. They were still going at it right there in the lot."
"Great." Tara groaned.
"You're smarter than this baby. You've made it to far to throw it away for some cute dick." Grace had always been outspoken, a trait that Tara had also picked up.
"I'm not throwing anything away, momma. Yes, he's cute and yes there's something about him that I can't seem to shake but it's only been a day. I'm sure everything will be fine, I hate that Tommy was upset though." Tara dropped her head to hands.
"Yes, it's been only a day. Only a few hours actually but from what we all heard you already were naked with him and that's not you. That's what worries me sweetheart, you're smart and you're cautious but this boy has you changing your ways in just a matter of hours." Grace rubbed Tara's hair.
"I know. There's something about him, he's different than anyone I've ever known."
"Is he?" Grace was shaking her head. "From the sound of it he's exactly what you're used to. Be careful. Don't let him hurt you like that piece of shit, Wade." Grace held Tara's shoulders looking her in the eye. "You could always try friends with benefits, I've heard that works for people who can't be in a committed relationship but can't be away from each other either." She chuckled when Tara stiffened.
"Mom, I love you but I really don't want to have this conversation right now." Tara shook her head.
"I'm just saying he's cute, he's your type, you're young, if you want to bang his brains out then go for it just be careful with your body, mind, but most importantly your heart." Grace laughed again at her daughter's shocked expression. She was being extremely blunt, the alcohol was probably to blame.
"Okay, I think you're drunk." Tara laughed. Her and her mother were extremely close, Tara loved her more than anything but this was not a conversation she wanted to be having with her right now, probably not ever.
