Chapter 6

The next day, we are back at the docks, meeting with the SONS. Chibs and Tig walk up with the rest of the guys behind them. I am standing there, Juice by my side with his hand on the small of my back and our security detail behind us. "Did you look over the proposal?" Chibs asks. "We did and we have a few questions." I say. "Okay. Shoot." Tig says. "First, if we agree to this, we need to know what you expect from us." I say. "All we expect Lass is to get ourselves into legit business. We aren't here with ulterior motives. We actually wanted to talk to Juice about taking his kutte back and taking his position in the club back. We voted it and we would like you to come back." Chibs says. I look at Juice and see he's thinking about it. "You don't have to decide right away. Think about it." Tig says and Juice doesn't say anything. "One more question." I say and Chibs turns his attention back to me. "What's that Lass?" he asks. "I need to make sure that there are no repercussion if we decide that this is not what we want to invest in." I say. "You have our word Lassie. No matter what you two decide, we will respect your decision." he says. "We will talk about it and get back to you by the end of the day tomorrow. Is that acceptable?" I ask. Chibs nods and they turn to leave.

Juice and I get back into the SUV and he hasn't said anything. I reach for his hand and he doesn't respond so I pull my hand back. We get home and walk inside and I go to my office and close the door. I know he's thinking about it. After a few minutes, the door opens and Juice walks in. Sitting on the couch, he leans forward and looks down at his hands. "You don't have to say anything. I know you want to go back and that's fine. But I think I am going to invest in their plans." I say. "Randi…" he starts. "Juice. It's fine." I look at him and put on my best business face. "It's not the same club it was when Teller was running things. You should go back. I promise, it's fine." I tell him. He doesn't look at me. "I'll contact the people needed to put everything in place so it will all be set up when you leave in the morning to go back so you can take everything with you to give to the club." I tell him before getting up and heading to my bedroom.

I walk into my room and close the door. Lying on the bed, I sob into my pillow. I know he's going back to his club. How could he not? That's his family. This is why I don't get close to people. I'm lying there sobbing when the door opens. I quickly wipe my face and feel the bed dip down. "Randi, I never said I was going back." he says. "We both know you want to and that's fine Juice. Really. It's where you belong." I tell him, still not looking at him. "Randi, you told me that if I decided to stay that we were in this together. That we would make the decisions together." he says. "Yeah but the variables have changed." I tell him. "Doesn't matter. I never said I was going back. They voted me out as a club. They chose to toss me away just going by what Jax told them. What's to say they wouldn't do it again?" he asks. He lays down beside me and pulls me into him. "You saved me. There's no way in hell I'm leaving you." he tells me and I bury my face in his chest and sob. He rubs my back and whispers "I'm right here baby. I'm not going anywhere." he says over and over.

A little later, we are still lying on the bed and just holding each other. "I wouldn't blame you if you went back. I promise I wouldn't." I tell him. "Do you want me to leave?" he asks without looking at me. "Doesn't matter what I want. It's about what you want." I tell him. "It's about what we want." he tells me. "I don't want you to go." I tell him. "Then I'm staying right here." he tells me. I look up at him finally and he kisses me softly. I let him deepen the kiss and can't stop myself anymore. I pull his shirt over his head and we both start to undress in between kisses. He enters me slowly and we both moan at the sensation. Giving me a minute to adjust to his size, I start to thrust against him and he starts to thrust in and out at a slow and steady pace. Slowly making love to me and causing me to reach release after release before finding his own. Lying beside me, he pulls me into his side and we just lay there, holding each other.
