In The Blood

Chapter 10

Harper leaned against the bar and glanced over at the table where Gemma, Jax and Clay sat.

"What's going on over there?" Harper asked Harley as she nodded her head towards the table. Harley shrugged, then they both glanced over at the table; Clay slammed his hand down hard. Harper jumped at the noise and prayed he hadn't damage her table. Jax glared and ran his hands through his hair.

"My guess by the reaction of those two, Gemma dropped her big secret." Harley looked back at Harper.

"Shit. Things are about to get very ugly in Charming." Harper said quietly.

"I think Weston and Zobelle, are going to be in a world of hurt." Harley stated. She grabbed her glass and the glasses around hers and brought them back behind the bar and placed them into the washer. Harley was so proud of Harper and how she chased her dreams and made them come true with her bar.

"Harp, you did an amazing job." Donna smiled softly while she hugged her tightly. "I would stay and help you clean up but I have to relieve the babysitter."

"No problem. I'll just enlist my sister." Harper smiled at her friend as waved goodbye to Lowell and Lyla, who had the kids trailing behind them. She was happy to see they were getting close.

It seemed like the night was beginning to wrap up. Maggie gave Harper the thumbs up, as Vincent threw her over his shoulder and carried her out of the bar. Her laughter filled the air.

Clay quietly made his way towards Harper and kissed her on the forehead. "Nice job sweetheart." She gave him a nod and started cleaning up the bar. While she was cleaning she realized that her bar had been a booming success among the club; she was extremely happy and proud.

The club slowly cleared out leaving a small group of people; who were kind enough to help clean up the mess. Harper was busy loading the glasses into the washer when arms wrapped around her waist. She ran her hands cross the hands that were embracing her, she ran her hand across the rings on Chibs right hand and turned around to face him.

"Hi." Harper's voice was wispy, as she smiled broadly at Chibs, before placing a quick peck on his cheek.

Chibs smirked, "Someone is in a good mood."

"Mmm. It's been a good night. If I have absolutely no visitors from the town at the bar, I will at least have club members and I know how you, all drink." Harper teased.

"Oh, well I recall evenings where a very pretty brunette and her blonde sister drank members under the table." Chibs said with a humour in his voice.

Harper rolled her eyes, "Please, Juice and Jax don't count. We all know that they are light weights." She laughed, recalling the evening that Chibs was talking about. "You know I was just trying to keep up with the big boys." She was grateful that she was not like Harley with her face in a garbage can vomiting.

Chibs chuckled, in amusement while he helped Harper load the glasses in the washer. One of the croweaters had mopped the floor and some of the others had cleaned up the food and brought it back to the club house for the guys later in the week.

Chibs noticed a few photos on the wall behind the bar. There was one of Harper with Maggie, Vincent and a young dark haired man with wavy hair, Agnes and they were in the French Quarter. Harper was smiling broadly in the photo. It was a happier time in her life before the tragedy that had struck her so hard. Now that she was home she realized she was becoming that girl once again; happy and finally finding peace in her world.

"So killer care to come over for a night-capper?" Harper asked Chibs, knowing that Harley had planned on going to Half Sacks' place. "I might have a nice bottle of Scotch, which a friend brought back for me from Scotland when he was over visiting."

"You had me at come over..." Chibs smirked.

Harper caught a glimmer of lust flash across Chibs' eyes. She didn't know if she should tell him if it had been nearly three years since she had been with anyone. She felt like she might have forgotten what she knew. That is if anything happened between them.

Harper felt her cheeks redden slightly, before shaking her head. She gave Chibs a smile before locking up the bar. She walked towards her car but paused to watch Chibs get on his bike. He was so god damn sexy.

The drive home seemed to take forever; Harper was looking forward to spending time with Chibs alone. She stopped her car in the driveway where Chibs was already waiting for her. They walked together slowly towards the porch, their hands intertwined. Harper unlocked the door and entered. Cerberus came prowling over and she stroked the cat affectionately. He purred loudly before meowing loudly at her, it was time to be fed. Cerberus rubbed up against Chibs, who scratched behind his ear affectionately before he turned back and made his way to his food.

Harper walked over to Chibs with two glasses of scotch, "Here you go."

Chibs had settled on the soft velvet couch; Harper handed him the Scotch but instead of drinking it he placed it on the end table and took Harper's glass from her and placed it next to his. Harper gave him a pouty look, she wanted her scotch. Chibs pulled Harper over the arm of the couch and into his lap, she let out a surprised squeal.

"Hell, I've missed you, Harper girl." Chibs kissed her as she laid across his lap. His kiss deepened as his tongue entered Harper's mouth and they fought for possession of the other person.

Harper pulled back leaving a confused looking Chibs staring at her, "There is something I need to tell you."

'What else was there to tell me?' Chibs thought to himself.

Harper took a deep breath and looked at him. "I haven't been with anyone in almost three years." She confessed.

Chibs laughed, "Love if that is all you need to tell me then we are great!"

"I haven't had sex with anyone since you." Harper admitted shyly. Chibs smiled and held her close. He kissed her again; Harper responded by knotting her hands in his dark brown hair that had a greyed some in her time away from Charming.

"I love you." Chibs said roughly after their kiss. Harper felt her heart flutter as she traced the scars on either side of his mouth, while she took in his words.

"I love you too, Scotsman. My Scotsman." Harper said tenderly as Chibs pulled her into him further and she rested her hands against his toned chest as they kissed more heatedly.

Harper felt a sense of yearning; she straddled Chibs and ran her hands under his shirt. She could feel him shivered as she ran her nails up his chest, it had been far too long since she felt his chest under her hands. She had dreamed of this moment for so long that it almost seemed unreal. Harper had finally made her way back into Chibs' arms.

Chibs moved back and took off his kutte placing it on the couch arm next to them as Harper pulled his shirt up. She sat back and admired him for a moment, she gazed at his tattoos before placing her lips upon his chest, placing a warm kiss just above his heart.

Chibs placed Harper's wrist to his mouth and kissed it, moving up her arm stopping as he reached the lacy fabric of her sleeveless top. Harper smiled coyly at Chibs as he did the same thing to the other arm, this time instead of stopping he moved his mouth to Harper's neck. Harper let out a quiet moan. Chibs lips felt so good against her skin and left a trail that made her feel like she was on fire. His hand moved under her skirt and up her thighs, he was surprised that she was wearing a garter belt and thigh high stockings. Chibs unlatched the garter on each of her thighs, the straps snapped Harper, the sting made her squirm against Chibs' lap. She smiled as she felt the growing lump in his jeans. He let out a dark growl as he made Harper stand up so he could pull off her stockings. Chibs ran his hand from her smooth calf up to her thigh. She was still flawless to him. He stood up and towered over Harper, who wrapped her arms around him. Chibs cupped her ass and picked her up; she wrapped her legs around him as her dress rode up to her waist.

Chibs placed Harper next to her bed, he turned her so she was facing away from him; he unzipped her shirt. She turned back to face him; he was pleased to see she was wearing black bra with dark red and black lace; Christ she turn him on. Chibs aggressively pulled Harper into another kiss. He just wanted to feel her skin against his little did he know Harp felt the same way about him.

"You're so beautiful." Harper said softly as she traced his scars on either side of his mouth. Harper had been the first person to tell him was beautiful, most women told him his scars made him look tough or wild but she had always said the opposite. He brought his lips to her once again this time more wanting as he fumbled with the back of Harper's skirt. Where the hell was the damn zipper?

She giggled lightly against his mouth. "Here let me." Harper took a step back without taking her eyes off of Chibs. Her hands went to the side of her skirt and unzipped it; letting it fall to a puddle of black around her feet. Harper stepped out of her skirt and pulled off her garters leaving her in her bra and matching lacy thong underwear.

Chibs took in Harper's body as he took a stepped towards her, his eyes burned with need and lust. He ran his hand along the top of her cleavage, down her bra to her flat stomach and long her scar. He could feel Harper tense up as she watched him intently. Chibs needed this woman so badly, he hurt. He wanted nothing more than to bury himself inside her and stay there for days. He could have gotten lost in her. His mouth fell to the top of her breast where he kissed her cleavage. He pulled one of her breasts out of her bra and brought his mouth to her nipple and became to suck and lightly bit it.

Harper moaned softly. Her body was on fire and she felt as if she was going to explode under Chibs touch. Her hands moved to the waist band of his jeans and along the bulge that was pushing up against crotch of his jeans. Harper ran her hand under the waist band of Chibs' jeans and undid the button and zipper of them allowing his jeans to fall to the floor, leaving Chibs in his boxers. The fabric struggled hard to keep his erection contained. Harper ran her hands down his chest and along the elastic of his boxers. Chibs growled against her chest and his hand moved to her other breast pinching her nipple hard. She let out a small gasp of pleasure, could feel Chibs smile against her chest as he reached around and unlatched her bra. Harper ran her hand down Chibs' boxers and wrapped her hand around the soft skin of his erection, moving hand up and down it. Speeding up her pace some as she felt droplets of pre-cum hit her hand.

"Christ, Harper." Chibs voice thick with lust. Harper laughed, the sound making Chibs' heart skip a beat. He moved Harper to the bed and laid her down on it gently, causing her almost dark brown hair to fan out against the pillows. Chibs hovered over her, he placed his mouth on Harper's chest and continued traveling down her body until he reached the top of her thong. Chibs pulled it off of her and gazed up and down at her now naked body. His eyes stopped at the tattoo that partially covered her scar on her stomach. He ached to take away the pain and loss; he kissed her scar tenderly. Harper ran her hands through his hair and pulled Chibs up towards her. She placed her lips on his forehead and interlacing her hands into his.

"Yer sure that ya want this?" Chibs asked quietly.

Harper placed a kiss on his lips, it was full of need and want. "I'm sure." She said barely a whisper.

Chibs positioned himself between Harper's legs. He gazed at her before he slid himself inside of her. Harper let out a soft moan as she adjusted to his girth. Chibs groaned as he started to move himself in and out of her slowly. She was so tight but that is what three years of no sex would do. "God Harper yer so fucking wet." He smirked down at her marvelling the effect he had on her body.

"You still have that effect on me, Filip." Harper said seductively.

Chibs kissed her hard as she wrapped her arms around him tightly. He felt her legs wrap around his waist as if she was urging him to move faster. He couldn't let his girl down, he moved more aggressively in and out of her. Harper moaned quietly as she fell back against the pillows. Chibs could feel her beginning to tighten around him.

Harper could feel the sweet familiar feeling of ecstasy begin to wash over her. She cried out Chibs' name as she shattered into a million pieces around him. It wasn't long before Chibs followed in suit as he came inside of Harper and collapsed on the bed next to her.

"I love you." Chibs said softly. Harper smiled at happily, her hazel eyes sparkling as she kissed him back.

"I love you too, always have." She said softly and cupped his cheek tenderly.

Chibs pulled Harper into his arms and held her tightly, "You're not running away again, love." Chibs kissed Harper's forehead as she sighed deeply against him.

Her hand roamed over his chest and traced his Kerrianne tattoo. She longed to see a tattoo on him that represented Caden. "Filip?" She placed her chin on his chest and looked up at him.

Chibs looked down at her with a lazy look in his eyes. "Hmm?" He hummed, his body was still recovering from his orgasm.

Harper bit her lower lip, "Would you ever get a tattoo for Caden?" She asked sheepishly.

"I would. I have been thinking about it a lot. I asked Hap, if he would do it before leaving again." Chibs said quietly as he traced his fingers over the tattoo on Harper's stomach. Her tribute to their boy.

"Would yer ever get my crow?" Chibs asked quietly. Harper looked up at him in surprise and with a softened look in her smoky dark hazel eyes.

"I would." Harper said thoughtfully and without hesitation; Chibs pulled her into him and held her close. He nuzzled her hair tenderly, he was a lucky man to have a woman like Harper. "I'd be honoured having your crow." Harper said honestly.

She knew what a huge step it was for Chibs to ask her to wear his crow. She would be his old lady and everyone would know. Harper sighed deeply as she placed her head back on Chibs chest and listened to the sound of his heart beat.

"Hap is still in town...we could get him to tattoo us in the morning." Chibs said softly as he kissed the top of Harper's head.

She smiled blissfully, "I'd like that." Harper never thought when she came home she would find happiness. She thought all Charming offered her was pain. Instead it had brought her closure, family and into the arms of the man that she loved and who loved her back. Harper curled into Chibs, he held her tightly; she fell asleep quickly in his arms where she felt nothing but safe and loved. Chibs watched Harper doze off and thanked God for giving him a second chance with his beautiful girl. The girl who loved him regardless of all the shit he had done in his past.

Chibs woke to the sound of his phone ringing. Harper was fast asleep across his chest, her breathing soft and light; he tried not to jostle her too much as he grabbed his phone. It was Juice.

He answered it, "This better be good Juicy Boy."

"Clay has called us all to chapel. You need to be there in 30 minutes." Juice's voice had a sense of urgency about it. Chibs stretched out on the bed, he had only slept a few hours. He smoothed Harper's hair down as she roused and looked up at him with a sleepy smile. "I'm sorry, I have to go." Chibs kissed her forehead.

"What's going on?" Harper asked with sleep still weighing heavily in her voice.

Chibs sat up and grabbed his boxers off the floor, "Clay wants us all in chapel in 30 minutes." He would have rather been in bed with the gorgeous woman, who laid there naked in front of him. "Keep the bed warm for me?" He leaned down and kissed Harper's plump pink lips.

"Of course. Come back soon." She smirked as she watched Chibs dress.

"I will." Chibs promised amused as he dressed. Harper sleepily smiled at him; she watched him leave and hoped everything was alright. It wasn't long before sleep over took her and laced her dreams with her sexy Scotsman.

Chibs walked into chapel, he was the last one there. The other guys sat around the table as Chibs took his seat next to Tig. They looked at a grim faced Clay, who didn't look like had slept at all. Chibs glanced over at Jax, whose eyes were full of anger and pain.

Clay cleared his voice drawing attention to him. "Thanks for coming in on such a short notice and so early in the morning but we have some urgent business we need to take care of. Gemma, told us why she has been so distant lately." Clay said quietly as he looked at every member of SAMCRO, who looked worriedly at him then he swallowed.

"Zobelle had his daughter abduct Gemma. Weston and his crew sent her message to tell us to stop giving guns to the black..." Clay's voice trailed off before he choked the words out. "They raped her."

Chibs mind immediately went to Harper, who he hoped slept peacefully at home but she was alone. He thought about the attack at the bar and what might have happened to her if he hadn't gotten there; although she did handle herself well against the three men, they would have soon over powered her. He shuddered. Chibs refused to lose Harper again.

Bobby's voice called Chibs out of his thoughts, "What are we going to do about them? They are becoming a real problem."

"L.O.A.N. is having a huge meeting in a few days. I think we need to go send a message to them." Clay glanced around the room at the men who nodded back at him. "All in favor?" The in unison said "Aye". They would have vengeance on the men, who violated his wife. Zobelle chose to fuck with the wrong men.

"Juice and Bobby, we need to bring in everyone's personal stock of guns. The Chinese won't shipment won't be coming in for a few weeks." Clay instructed. "We're heading into lockdown again." He added as the guys started to scatter.

"How are things going with Harper?" Happy asked as they walked towards their bikes.

"Better, Hap can I ask you a favor?" Chibs asked seriously.

Happy looked at him for a moment as if debating but nodded. "Sure, what is it?"

"I'd like to get a tattoo for my boy and if you still had time tattoo my crow on Harper." Chibs said quietly.

Happy cracked a rare smile, "I would be honoured to do both. So you finally decided to make an honest woman out of the girl. I'm happy for you, brother." Happy smacked Chibs on the back. "I could get them done now, unless that is too soon."

Chibs nodded, "It'll be perfect. I have a few ideas for the tattoos." Chibs and Happy discussed the tattoos for twenty minutes before Happy said he would have something drawn up for them later that morning. Chibs was tired, he wanted nothing more than to crawl back into bed with Harper.

He kicked his bike to life as he started back to Harper's house. Chibs thought he heard Half -Sack say something about picking up Harley from his place. He wondered how he could handle Harley, she was definitely the wild child out of the Delaney girls. Chibs reached the house just after 8:30; the door was left unlocked. He walked towards the kitchen where Harper was sitting in her pyjamas with a cup of coffee. She looked up and smiled at him as she stood to go and get him a cup of coffee. Cerberus glanced up briefly, annoyed that someone dare interrupt his breakfast; he let out a scratchy meow in protest.

"Is everything ok?" Harper asked quietly as returned to the kitchen where she started cooking breakfast for the both of them. She remembered Scottish pancakes with maple syrup were Chibs' favorite. Chibs didn't answer her until she returned with their breakfast. He didn't want to ruin their moment but Harper looked at him impatiently.

"Gemma was raped by Weston and a few other guys." Chibs told her grimly.

Harper sucked in a sharp breath as she looked at Chibs before nodding. "I know."

Chibs stared a bit of shock crossed his brown eyes, "What do you mean you know?" This was all new news to him, how had Harper found out so quickly? Did the ladies have a meeting at the same time that he didn't know about? He was sure that Clay had Gemma locked away somewhere for safe keeping, oh who was he kidding himself, Gemma would never allow that.

Harper closed her eyes and took a deep breath before opening them again. "I've known since the day after it happened." She said solemnly.

A frown washed over Chibs' face. "Why didn't you say anything?" His voice oozed with annoyance and maybe a hint of concern.

"It wasn't my secret to share, Filip. Gemma asked us not to say anything, so we didn't." Harper said quietly as she took a sip of her coffee.

Chibs' anxiety weight on him heavily and it tended to come across as anger, he probably should have thought about that before he opened his mouth, "That could have been you that night in the bar. You could have prevented your attack!" Chibs growled.

Harper glared at him as she stood up forcefully, "Are you seriously yelling at me because I didn't tell you about what happened to Gemma? And do you think that those men would have stopped their threat on us if you knew about Gemma?" Harper grabbed her plate and walked out into the kitchen and returned to the dining room. "They would have just gotten worse, Filip. They would have gotten what they wanted, to tear apart the Sons piece by piece. We couldn't allow that to happen. Gemma is a strong woman, who knows what is best for the club so please just trust her judgement in having us keep our traps shut." Harper would have rather crossed Chibs' path going the wrong direction than Mama Gemma's. She had learned growing up you don't defy the queen's wishes.

Chibs sighed and nodded as he took in Harper's words. She was right and he squeezed her hand tightly, causing her frown to leave her face. He quickly finished eating breakfast while Harper settled in to the chair next to him drinking her coffee. Her appetite spoiled by their tiff.

"I'm going to go dressed; I won't be long." Harper said softly as she kissed Chibs softly. He nodded as he watched her go upstairs to shower and get dressed. His phone rang as soon as Harper disappeared, he answered it.

"Hello?" He asked. He heard someone swallow on the line, he glanced at the caller id and realized it was a number from Northern Ireland, it must have been his Kerri.

"Hi Da, it's me, Kerrianne." The familiar voice said shyly. Chibs felt a lump in his throat as he heard his daughter's voice for the first time in over three months.

"Kerry love, how are ya?" Chibs asked thickly.

Kerrianne laugh softly, "I'm ok, Da." Kerri continued on, "I heard you were in an accident. Are you okay?" Concern pouring out of her words.

Chibs smiled, "Aye, I am fine love." He loved his daughter with the depth of his soul, there wasn't anything he wouldn't do for her. She was his pride and joy, even if she was across the world from him.

"Da?" Kerrianne's voice was off.

"What is it my girl?" Chibs asked softly.

Kerri sighed deeply. "Da, I saw a video that I wasn't meant to see. I..." Kerrianne had known that her father wasn't waiting around for her mother. They had discussed it many times and all Kerrianne wanted was for her dad to be happy. And when he finally was her mother ruined it for him again. It broke her heart to know that he was in pain. When her dad first told her about the girl he was in love with it was in a letter the held a photo of him and a young but beautiful brunette with lovely hazel eyes. Harper.

"You can tell me anything Kerrianne." Chibs encouraged her.

Kerri fought back the tears that were beginning to well up, "I saw a video of Harper. She was being beat up."

The line fell silent and for a horrible moment, Kerrianne thought Chibs had hanged up but he was still on the line as she could hear him struggling to speak before he finally calmed down. "I know love. I've seen it too. She lost the baby. You're brother died soon after the attack." Chibs said pained.

Kerrianne let out a sob of pain then for her da and his girlfriend. She would have had a baby brother. "Da, I'm so sorry for what Ma did." Kerrianne sobbed heartbrokenly, she couldn't keep her mother's dark secret anymore, it wasn't right.

"What did yer Ma do, love?" Chibs asked confused.

Kerrianne swallowed as she remembered hearing her mother ranting how her da had fathered a bastard on some biker whore called Harper. "She said that she wanted Jimmy to make Harper and the baby go away. I was in the kitchen when I overheard her." Kerrianne sobbed unable to keep the dark secret any longer.

Not only did Jimmy betray him but the woman that he once loved with such fierceness had cut him even deeper. She had tried to take his chance at love with Harper. Fi wanted her out of the picture because she wanted Chibs to pine for her and only her. Chibs shook his head in anger remembering Kerri was still on the other line. "Thank you for telling me, love. I am sorry that you had to hold that secret for so long. You make me so proud to be able to call you my daughter. I love you, darlin.'" Chibs smiled softly as he thought about his daughter.

"I love you too, daddy." Kerrianne said quietly, "Speak to you soon." She hung up the phone.

How could Fiona be so cold? He would never forgive her for her hand in Harper's attack and Caden's death.
