"Mommy..."
Marci woke up to the sound for Bradley's voice and opened her eyes to see him and Abel looking at her. "Morning, sweeties."
"Why did we stay?"
She smiled and sat up. "We didn't want to wake you and Jax said I could crash on the couch."
She looked down when she notice her brother looking at her shirt. She looked back up at the boy.
"You ok, bud?"
He looked at her, "Why are you wearing his shirt?"
She smiled and pulled him to her, hugging him close. "His shirt's are more comfortable than mine would have been. He let me borrow it."
She sat him down and took her halter, going into the bathroom to change out of the shirt. She locked the door and sat on the toilet lid thinking about her brother's reaction to the shirt. "This is so gonna suck." she thought as she changed the shirt and put hers back on. She wasn't going to make Bradley have to look at it if he didn't understand it, she just hoped Jax would understand that maybe she couldn't sleep over without having her own things to use.
She walked out and padded back into the living room to see Jax had woken up and was sitting, watching cartoons with the boys. She smiled at him and than gathered the blanket she used, folding it and putting back into the front closet where he had gotten it for her. She shut the door and made her way to the kitchen, trying to figure out what to make them for breakfast when she felt arms wrap around her. "Morning."
She smiled and turned to face him. "Morning, hungry?"
She saw something flicker in his eyes as he smirked and she playfully shoved him. "For food, smartass."
He chuckled, "Let's go to the diner. I haven't taken Abel in a while. It'd be good to get out."
She shut the cabinet and looked at him. "Alright, meet in 20?"
He nodded and they walked back into the living room.
"Bradley let's go change. We're going out for breakfast this morning."
"The diner?" Abel asked, getting excited.
The adults smiled and Jax nodded. Abel jumped up and ran to his room while Marci and Bradley headed out the door. The walk to their house was quiet and Marci unlocked the door.
"Mommy..."
"Yes, babe?" she asked, shutting the door.
"Can I meet Abel's Uncle Opie?"
She led him to the couch and smiled. "You have met him, baby. He is Harry and Ellie's daddy, remember?"
Bradley thought for a bit and than nodded, "Oh yeah, he was at Gemma's when we first got here."
She nodded, "Yes, but I can call Lyla to see if we can meet up soon with everyone."
She laughed as he ran off, excited at the prospect of maybe hanging out with some of the others today. She went into her room and chose some boot cut jeans and a blue tank. She slipped them on as she heard a knock on the door. "Bradley, get that and ask who it is first, please."
"OK MOMMY." he yelled as she pulled the tank over her head. She opened her door and headed to the bathroom for a brush. She pulled her hair back up into a bun and than walked into the living deciding to just slip her flip flops back on.
"Hey, ready?" Jax asked when she walked into the room.
"Yes, let's go."
The boys led the way out the door and Marci locked it. The adults let the kids run next door to the diner with their parents following. Jax held the door open, letting everyone go in before him. They sat down and the waitress took their drinks. They all sat and talked about what to do for the day. Marci told Jax how Bradley had wanted to re-meet Opie and asked if maybe they could meet up with them later. Jax told her Opie wasn't working so most likely. The food came and everyone dug in, hungrily.
Jax sat and thought about how natural it was to sit here, in public, with his kid as well as the girl in front of him and her brother. That didn't quite scare him as much as he thought. Marci looked at him and they smiled at each other, not really saying anything. They didn't need to. They both knew the other was just as scared as the other and that made them comfortable with their situation. Marci knew people would talk, but she didn't care. Jax was different with her and everyone that really knew the biker in front of her had openly admitted that to her. She liked he was different, showing her a different part of himself that she figured only few saw. They finished eating and Jax paid the bill, saying it was their first date. Marci just chuckled and led the boys to the door while he left the tip.
"Ope called and Lyla has invited us for this morning. Apparently their kids are wanting to see ours. She also said we could stay and make a lunch out of it." Jax stated, coming out of the diner.
The boys hollered, excited at getting to hang out with the Winston kids today and Marci smiled, shaking her head at them.
"Alright, You'll have to tell me how to get there." she commented as she walked towards her car.
Jax smiled, "Or, you could let me drive again?"
She smiled looking at him trying out Abel's puppy face and handed him the keys.
"What is it you mechanics like about my car?" she asked out loud, not expecting an answer.
"It's fast, baby."
She rolled her eyes and moved her seat, letting the boys climb in. She set the seat back into place and got in, buckling up. Jax turned to make sure the boys were buckled and than backed out and headed to Opie's.
They pulled up to see Opie working on his bike. The parked on the side of the street and then piled out of the car, the kids heading out back to play with the others. The adults walked up to Opie.
"Hey, Lyla went to the store, she should be back soon."
Marci nodded and than headed toward the back to watch the kids. Jax stood next to Opie's bike and took out a cigarette, Opie joining him.
"So, How was it last night when you got home?"
Jax smiled and looked at his friend, "It went ok. She knows she's not a toy, Opie. We're just gonna let it flow, I think."
They turned to the sound of Opie's truck and the bigger one smiled. "Don't let her go, Jax. When you find it for real, it's like nothing else. I got lucky to find it twice."
Jax put out his cigarette and watched as Opie went to kiss his wife. Lyla smiled and waved as Opie helped her take the groceries in. Jax followed them, grabbing a water from the fridge, and giving Lyla a kiss on her cheek. "How're you, darlin'?"
She smiled and saw Marci outside, "I'm good. My friend doing alright?"
Jax smiled and turned his head to see Marci walking toward them, having seen Lyla.
"I hope so." He than walked out back to the front with Opie to keep him company while he worked.
Marci walked in and helped Lyla put her food up. They then walked back out and sat at the patio table, watching the kids. Lyla watched her friend. Marci looked different today and Lyla was hoping the biker with her husband was the reason. Marci felt her looking at her and turned to her. "Can I ask you something?"
Lyla nodded and Marci asked about how they let the kids know about their parents. She explained about Bradley's behavoir last night and this morning and didn't know what to do about it. Lyla turned her head to look at the boys and Ellie as they played in the yard. She turned back to Marci, "It was hard for them. It was understandable though, Opie lost a wife, his kids a mom. Piper never knew his dad and so it was just us for a long time. We sat them down seperately and told them. I talked to Piper while Ope told his. We told them that we wouldn't do anything if they didn't want us to. I think you handled it ok. A grown up friend is a good way to describe your situation right now. You're not even to the point where sleeping in the bed is an issure. With your background, and his, this will actually be good on both boys. Bradley will get used to him being around as your friend, not Abel's dad. Abel will get used to it the same way. Jax has never brought the girls home from the club. Both boys are going into this on the same level."
"Thanks, I didn't think of it that way. It's just if you saw his face this morning when I was in that damn shirt."
Lyla leaned over to her, "I know that was hard. Piper cried when he first saw me in one of Ope's. Ask Jax if you can have one. If he liked you in it last night, he really wont care if you wear it around him. Guys like seeing their girls in their clothes. That way everyone gets used to it and not because you had a quickie and that was the first thing you could find."
Before Marci could comment on that, the men came into the back. Jax sat next to her and took her hand while Opie kissed and sat next to Lyla. Marci studied them. They were cute together and didn't show it much around the kids. Opie held her hand, much like Jax did hers. They didn't make it too "adult" so to speak. They were just comfortable together, and that made the blonde smile.
"You alright?" Jax whispered in her ear.
She turned and nodded, taking a sip of his water. "Hey, get your own." he smiled.
She smiled and laughed, giving it back to him. "Fine."
She made to get up and only got as far as he would let her. "Y'know I need both arms to walk, Jackson."
She saw his body react as he adjusted himself, letting her go. She shook her head and went into get her a water, wondering what that was about. Lyla saw her face and got up to talk to her. Lyla had a feeling why Jax reacted as he did, she just didn't know how to explain it. She saw Marci leaning against the counter and shut the door. "Don't read too much into that."
Marci looked at her, silently asking what was up. Lyla smiled and walked to her friend. She cupped her face in her hands, "Oh I'm going to have some fun teaching you the inner workings of a man, hun."
Seeing the confused look, she continued. "No one calls him Jackson but his momma. He reacted that way because his body likes to hear you saying it. Opie does the same thing when I call him, Harry."
"So it's a good thing?" she whispered and Lyla smiled.
"A very good thing, yes. He tried to hide it, Marci. You have power over him, you have all the control."
The girls stood like they were, letting Marci process it when the door opened.
"Oh man..."
Lyla laughed turning to see Jax and Opie in the kitchen. "Watch." she whispered to Marci.
She looked at her husband. "Something the matter, Harry?"
Marci smiled as she saw the same reaction in Opie that Jax had to her calling him by his whole name and laughed, letting the stress leave her. She turned to the fridge to get her water. She turned back around and noticed the guys had gone back out to start the grill. She helped Lyla get the salad ready while she tenderized the meat and meriated it. She was glad she came over with them today, Lyla was going to be her saving grace. She knew Gemma tended to be a little bit up her son's ass, but she didn't not want to talk sex with him with his momma.
Lyla knew she was going to have to help couple out a bit as Marci's emotions and feeling started coming out to play. Ima wasn't finished and she told Opie as much last night. Opie told her about his conversation with Jax and Lyla made her husband promise to keep an eye out and to get one of the other guys to help if needed. If Ima got her hooks into Jax before Marci was able to reach a level of intimacy with him, he was going to lose her. Opie agreed and told her he'd probably talk to Chibs and Happy. He knew Jax had talked them a bit about the girl and so they'd be a help since they just wanted the couple happy. Jax came in for the steaks and walked up to Marci. "You alright, babe?"
She turned to look at him while putting the tomatoes in the salad bowl.
"Yes, Lyla helped. Don' worry about it. I have a feeling she's going to know an awful lot by the time we figure out what we are actually doing."
He nodded and gave her kiss, grabbing the plate on the way out the door.
"What?" she asked as the door closed.
Lyla just smiled and shook her head. "That boy is gone, I tell ya. Can I tell you something without you getting upset?"
Marci nodded and Lyla led her to the table. "He talked to Ope. He didn't tell him everything about Bradley, just your innocence. Opie is Jax's right hand and they've known each other since diapers. Jax was scared, hun. I'm sure he's already told you that. I'm only telling you because Opie's going to help when we aren't there. Ima wont give up. Jax is very strong willed and wont sleep with her, but she doesn't take the word no at all. Just warning you, baby. If he didn't fuck anyone in Tacoma than you really don't have to worry about him. I just wanted you to know."
Marci looked out the window and watched the men at the grill, talking and laughing. She looked back at Lyla. "Thank you. I knew he must've talked to someone and I don't blame him. It's not everyday you come across a 25 year old like me, I know that. You can tell him about Bradley, though. I don't wanna tell the story anymore."
Lyla nodded and then the got up to finish preparing lunch.
Jax and Opie stood at the grill cutting up about old times. Opie hadn't seen his friend so unstressed since Tara left, it was good for him. He flipped the meat, making sure not to get the sides didn't get to black while the middle was cooking. "I told Lyla about our talk."
Jax looked over at him, "What she say?"
Opie sat his utensil down and looked at his friend, sitting in the chair. "She was glad you finally talked about it to someone. She knew Marci was about to break when they had that talk the day you got to drive the charger and figured you were worse off."
Jax sat next to his friend, "Your wife is something else, Ope."
Opie laughed, "Don't I know it. She thinks that maybe we should tell Chibs and Happy some of it. Ima's not going to stop just because some girl, who't not letting you hit her, punched her in the face."
Jax sighed and sat his beer down. He knew his friend was right. He ran his hand down his face and looked at his friend. "Alright. I don't want to tell the whole story. It's not mine to tell, anyway. I'm not gonna fuck the cunt, Opie."
"Oh I know, you wouldn't have stopped if you wanted to fuck her, Jax. The girls know the president isn't getting it at home and you know how they are. Most of us can only play house for so long, brother."
Jax knew he was right and got up to head inside. Opie watched as his friend walk into his house without commenting on that statement. He than got up to see if the steaks were finished yet.
Jax walked in and wrapped his arms around Marci, "Can we talk?"
She turned her head to look at him, "Sure. You, ok?"
"Yeah."
She looked at Lyla, who nodded, and let Jax lead her out to the front yard. Jax led her all the way to the car and leaned against it, pulling her to him and giving her a kiss.
"You're scaring me, Jax."
He sighed. "Sorry, dalin'. I talked to Opie."
She shook her head "he's worried" she thought before kissing him. "Lyla told me and I'm glad you did. Jax, I know this dryspell you have right now is new to you. I know what I told you is hard for someone to take in, especially someone used to getting sex whenever he wants it. I also know the girls aren't going to stop till they know we are having it. I don't know when that will be or how, let alone the when. What I do know is that I trust you. Don't ask me how, I don't really get it myself. Think about it though, before either one of us knew what was happening between us, you quit fucking around. From what I've heard, you haven't had sex since the day I got hired to watch your kid."
She watched his body relax as he leaned his forehead to hers. She kept quiet, just letting him hold her. She pulled back a bit and kissed him.
"I think I know something that may help."
"What's that?" he asked, running is fingers on the little bit of back he could feel from her shirt having ridden up with their current position.
"Lyla suggested that I wear some of your shirts. Y'know, give the illusion that we're at least close to that. Also, I think it will help the boys get used to this. Bradley looked hurt this morning when I had your shirt on."
Jax thought about it and smiled as Lyla called them to eat. He gave her a kiss and took her hand.
"That may help. I'm not sure how long, but it's a start right. Besides, getting to see you in my shirts is sexy as fuck, darlin'."
She blushed as he led her in to eat.
They ended up staying at Opie and Lyla's all day and Abel asked if it was alright if Bradley stayed over instead of having their normal routine on Sunday. Jax said it was alright, but he still wanted the afternoon with just them. Marci stayed till well after the boys went to sleep as Jax asked her to watch a movie. She almost fell asleep, but didn't want to risk something with Bradley if she stayed again so went home. Jax watched her as she walked, making sure she was safe. She waved before disappearing through her door before he shut his and than went to take a shower. He took a quick one as he was actually exhausted and couldn't wait to get into the bed. He knew he'd have dreams about her in his shirt as she was wearing it when she left. She had slipped it on over her tank so she wouldn't forget to grab it when she left. He climbed out of the shower and dried off, pulling up his white boxers before climbing into bed, sleep claiming him as soon as his head hit the pillow.
Marci laid in bed in nothing but Jax's shirt and some pink boy shorts. It felt good today, hanging out with Lyla. Watching them was like watching some fairytale movie where the girl gets the prince. It was cute to watch, she admitted to herself. She also had a chance to talk more to Lyla who answered some of her questions about some of the things she read about while the men went back to work some more on Opie's bike. Lyla told her that she should take the time to explore herself to see what she like before Jax did so that she wasn't surprised by everything. Her friend also told her to let her imagination play out, or think back to one of those dreams that she'd been having about the biker in question.
As she thought about it, she thought back to the day when she went to the shop and he was covered in grease. She thought about his smile, about his eyes, about him that afternoon after he got out of the shower; she could still remember how he had smelled. She could feel something trying to get out within her and tried to move to get comfortable. She moved her legs, and the blanket had move just right, causing something to shoot up her spine. She stopped for just a bit before she tried it again.
I wasn't quite the same and so she thought back to Jax and all the things he made her feel with just a look let alone the touches, the kisses. She could feel the same winding feeling and moved again, only this time, she took Lyla's advice and moved her hand down, but left her fingers over her underwear. She slowly ran them over the middle of the shorts and felt the spring tighten like it did when the blanket moved just the right way. Getting bolder, she moved the fabric over, letting her fingers run over her bare skin.
As the spring started to tighten even more, she applied more pressure. It was slowly building and she just couldn't get it to release. She remembered reading about a spot inside her and moved to insert a finger to see if it helped. She let her imagination carry her as she thought about one of the dreams where it was Jax that was touching her, not her. She held onto that as the spring continued to tighten and her hips began to move on her own. Her hips started to speed as she pictured him picking up the pace of getting her to where she wanted, her fingers continued to go in and out as she added another.
She ran her other hand down and used those fingers on that button she found as her pumping sped up. She felt a sound she didn't know could make come out of her as the spring exploded around her finger and juice came out of her, onto her hand. She laid there, panting. "Wow." she said out loud when she calmed down. She got up and almost fell as her legs were like jelly. She walked to the bathroom to clean herself before climbing back into bed.
Alright, here you go. I ended up not having class as it got cancelled, so I decided to give you all a chapter. Please leave a comment below, until later. Brianna
