A/N: I would like to get better at writing. I am curious if anyone would like to co-write a story with me. Having a co-writer I think would give me motivation and make awesome stories come alive!

Chapter 10

Karen sat on Jax's bed worrying about how the meeting they were having. She really hoped that Jax and the club could find the men that were doing all the rapes and that were attempting to kill her. She was worried and scared. So much had changed in her life in such a short time. Her phone ringing brought her out of her thoughts. "Hey Dad…ok yeah I will have Jax bring me home….yeah it was probably best to hire that new guy to work the night shift…very smart thinking…yeah I am ok…love you too…see ya soon." Now she just had to wait for Jax to come out of the meeting and they could go to her house and tell her dad about their relationship. She hoped that his point of view changed as greatly as he showed it had.

Jax walked down the hall to his dorm. He was thinking about the strong feelings that had developed for Karen. He had never felt about a girl/woman the way he felt about her. He was going to rip Darby to shreds. "Hey darling." Jax said entering his dorm and finding Karen sitting on the edge of the bed. "Hey babe. My dad called. Said that he's heading home and that I can come home any time." Karen said forgetting Jax had stated earlier that she would be staying at the clubhouse tonight. "Well we can go to your house, pack a bag and get your dad but you guys aren't staying there tonight. We have some information on these pieces of shits terrorizing you and Charming." Jax explained. Karen nodded. "Well lets go so that we can get my dad on board ha-ha" Karen said grabbing her bag and heading out the door to face her father.

Jax and Karen pulled up to Karen's house. Upon their arrival Karen's father opened the front door to the house. "Glad you guys made it." Collin said opening the door wider for them. "Collin, we have some information on the men that are involved in all of this. It would be best for you and Karen to stay at the clubhouse tonight." Jax said getting straight to the point. Collin stood there and thought for a moment. "Well I was actually going to see if Karen could stay there tonight. I have to go back Illinois for little bit." He laid down the news. "Why? What's going on?" Karen asked worried. They didn't talk about her much, but Karen's older sister Sydney still lived in Illinois. "Sydney is going through a hard time. Tim called and asked that I come up and help out. I have Steve at the video store running everything. He knows to call you if he needs help with paperwork or anything." Collin explained. He already had a bag packed for him and waiting by the door. "Ok…well do you want an escort to the airport?" Jax asked. Collin nodded. "Yeah that would be a good idea, but I want Karen settled first." He said. Karen left to go upstairs and pack. She wondered what was going on with her sister. Everything just seemed to be happening at once. She did feel comfort in that her father would be safe.

"Collin, before you leave because I can't wait any longer to tell you, but I really like your daughter and as more than a friend. Would it be ok for us to date openly?" Jax asked. He figured it would be best to ask for permission then giving him no choice in the matter. Collin was stunned. "I uh…I think you are great guy Jax. A little too old for Karen maybe, but I know she trusts you. As long as it doesn't get too physical before she's 18….I guess I would be ok with it." Collin stated firmly. He saw the chemistry between them. He knew he couldn't stop it and he wasn't a tough guy so he wouldn't be able to intimidate Jax. "Thank you sir. It means a lot to both of us." Jax said smiling from ear to ear. "Thank you for asking for my opinion." Collin stated clearing his throat.

Karen walked down the stairs with her backpack and could see Jax smiling and her dad with an awkward expression on his face. "Jax if you don't mind if we could drop Karen off at the clubhouse then you take me to the airport?" Collin asked trying not to let Karen be aware of the conversation that just took place. Jax nodded. They locked up the house and walked out.

Jax got Karen set up in his dorm with movies and snacks. "You ok babe?" He asked giving her a kiss on the lips. "Yeah just worried about everything." Karen answered quietly. "Well everything is getting ready to be solved. I will be back soon." Jax said giving her a passionate kiss on the lips and walking out of the room.

Jax had been gone about 45 minutes when Karen heard the door handle jiggle. She knew the airport itself was 45 minutes away so Jax shouldn't be back yet. She herself had just stepped out of the shower and had the door open. "Mmmm, He must be in the shower. His fine ass getting clean for me." Karen could hear a women's voice. She instantly got pissed. Why would a woman enter Jax's room late at night? Karen had her pjs in the bathroom with her. She slipped on her tank top and her short sleep shorts. She took a deep breath and entered the room. The deep breath didn't prepare her the sight that was in front of her.

Wendy lay on the bed naked with her vagina pointing straight towards the bathroom door. "You nasty ass hoe! Get the hell out. Jax doesn't want you!" Karen yelled. She knew what Wendy had done prior to Jax so she just continued to raise her voice. Before Wendy could respond Chibbs walked into the room. Jax had him keeping an eye and ear out for Karen. "What in bloody hell?" He said coming in. He saw Karen by the bathroom door and saw a naked Wendy on the bed. "Get out of here you fucking whore! You're lucky that Karen isn't killing your ass" Chibbs yelled with his Scottish accent. Wendy shocked by the event unfolding in front of her grabbed her robe that was at the foot of the bed and ran out of the room. Karen looked at Chibbs and had a look like she was going to cry. "Don't cry Lassie. She is just trying to get to you. I will suggest that when you and Jax finally yee haw that you make him scream like he never has before. That'll set her straight." Chibbs said and walked out of the room chuckling.

Jax entered the clubhouse and saw a smiling Chibbs at the bar. Chibbs nodded to him. "Ya need to talk to your Lass. She's a little shook up. Wendy surprised her with a visit tonight." He said as Jax walked past him. Jax's claw clenched and he nodded as he headed straight to his dorm. Once he entered he laid down next to a sleeping Karen. She stirred in her sleep. "Hey babe." She said her voice hoarse with sleep. "Hey darling. Your dad is safely dropped off at the airport. I even waited while he boarded the plane." He said nuzzling into Karen's neck. "Thank you babe. That was sweet of you." Karen said hugging the pillow tighter and cuddling closer to Jax. "Mmm, darling be careful. So what happened while I was gone?" He asked. He was curious if he was going to be beating a female's ass even though it was against club rules. Karen giggled at his first sentence then proceeded to tell him her story. Jax was shocked "Wow….yea Wendy needs to go. I don't want anything to do with her and she is just set on making your life hell." He said after she finished the story. "Yep but don't worry I am beating her ass tomorrow." Karen said firmly. Jax nodded. There was a knock on the door and Juice immediately entered. "We got some news. We are doing Church at 6am. We have found our prey." He said smiling. Jax nodded. "Hell yeah! I will be there." He responded and Juice left. "Let's get some sleep babe. A lot of our problems will be solved tomorrow." Jax said kissing Karen. He stood up and stripped down to his boxers. Karen was in awe at his 6 pack. Jax was everything she dreamt of in a man. He got under the covers with her and kissed her passionately. Karen wanted more than that and was a little sad when he stopped. "Let's get some sleep before the morning" He said smiling knowing she wasn't ready for him to stop. All in due time, he was going to keep the promise he made to his father. He kissed the back of her head and took a deep breath of her scent. "I love you" He whispered.
