Sorry for any typos :/
**Tara POV**
Clay had decided to stay the whole weekend. I wasn't allowed to leave the lot without someone with me. Which I didn't undertand but didn't complain about. My man was ridiculously stressed and I wasn't going to add to it. It was Monday morning and I was getting ready for my meeting with charming elementary. I put on a black pencil skirt with a white blouse that I tucked in. I slipped on my black pumps, left my hair in loose curls, applied some light make up and I was done. I was in Jax's dorm room at the club house. We had been staying there since the house wasn't ready yet. When I looked at myself in the mirror and approved my outfit. I looked every bit of a school teacher. I smiled to myself and walked out of the room and into the common area. The guys were in a meeting so I sat at the bar and waited for them to get out.
"Can I get you anything?" Miles asked. He was a new prospect. He seemed nice enough. Didn't really talk out of place or say anything disrespectful.
"I take a shot actully. My nerves are shot maybe it'll calm me down"
He nodded and went about his task. He sat the shot in front of me and I drank it quickly.
"Isn't it a little early to be drinking princess? Oh I'm sorry I mean queen" I heard Thomas behind me. I rolled my eyes.
"Isn't it a little to early to be in other people's business?"
"Touché" He sat down next to me and asked miles for a beer.
"What do you want Thomas?"
"Sheesh I save your life and this is how you repay me? All snappy" he smirked at me and I shook my head.
"You didn't save my life. Don't flatter your self"
"Your fiesty. I like it." He took a sip of his beer.
"Your an asshole" I stood up and he grabbed my wrist pulling me closer to him.
"Just one kiss and I'll let you go" he lowered his head to kiss me but I jerked away and punched him in the mouth.
"I really was beginning to think you were something other than a little boy with a vendetta against his brother but since your not I'd apperciate it if you'd stay the hell away from me. I'm not someone for you to use to get back at Jax. Leave me the hell alone" I shouted. Thomas looked almost shocked he touched his lip and shook his head before getting up abruptly and leaving the clubhouse.
"are you ok?" Miles asked.
"Yeah I'm fine. My hand hurts though. Mind getting me an ice pack?"
He nodded and went into the kitchen. The guys all started to file out of church looking angry. Miles came out and handed me the ice pack. Bobby noticed and walked over to me.
"What happened to your hand?" He asked.
"I punched a jackass"
he laughed "Which one?"
"Doesn't matter. Where's Jax?" I asked. I didn't see him coming out of the chapel.
"Still inside" Bobby answered.
"Can I go in there?" Bibby nodded and joined the rest of the guys by the tables. When I walked inside Jax looked to be deep in thought. His head was in his hands as he leaned on the table. I closed the door behind me causing him to look up. "Hi"
he didn't answer me just stared at me with an intense look. I made my way to him and sat on the table in front of him. "What's going on?" He sighed and shook his head, then laid his head in my lap. I ran my fingers threw his short hair and let him process what ever was going on in his head. I was glad I didn't have to be at the school for another hour. I didn't want to leave him like this.
"If I asked you to move out of the country with me. Would you?" He asked suddenly.
"Any where you are is where I belong" I answered honestly.
"There's a lot going on Tara I don't if I can handle it"
"Hey" I lifted his head up so I can look at him "I am 100% positive that you can handle anything and you don't have to do it alone. I'm here"
"I don't want to get you involved in club business"
"Full disclosure Jax remember? Maybe I can help you"
he sighed "And you won't run if I tell you? Even the bad shit?" I shook my head looking at him seriously. I was in this for the long run. I knew the club did bad shit but I loved him and love made you do crazy things. I had promised I would stay no matter what and I was going to keep that promise. To myself and to him. He looked at me for a little while. Trying to see if I was telling the truth or not. I guess he found his answer cause he started telling me everything. "I think someone tried to have my father killed and I think it was someone in the sons of anarchy. Maybe not this charter but another one but someone had to help them so now I'm looking at all my brothers skeptically. That's not all though." He got up and started pacing the room "The cartel is trying to get into business with us. I'm trying to get them to steer clear but that won't happen until we get out of buying and selling guns we can't afford to stop right now cause that's our main sorce of income. All we have is a damn porn studio and half our profits go to Luann. We just took over the bar and with the renovations going on we haven't seen any profit from that yet. I don't know what else to do" He ran his hands down his face "The garage isn't making much and that just goes towards the up keep to clubhouse and the guys working it. I'm literally running on empty" he leaned against the back window and looked at me. I was on information overload. Cartel and drugs and attempted murder by brothers but after my little freak out session I started to think. I got up and started to pace like he did.
"Ok let's think about this. You need more businesses to make more money for your guys right?" He nodded and lit up a cigarette. "Ok to get more businesses we need more money. Money that we don't have. So how do we get that?"
"If I knew the answer to that. We wouldn't be having this conversation babe"
"Sssshhh I'm thinking out loud. Your already dealing guns but those profits are just enough to keep you guys fed. How much would you be getting from the cartel?" I stopped and looked at him.
"I don't want to get into dealing drugs Tara"
"That's not what I asked Jackson"
"Possibly half a mil maybe more"
"Put them on a contract than." He looked at me. Confusion etched on his handsome face. "Give them 6 months of SamCro business. You'll offer your services and help them find a better buyer and distributer in that 6 month time and while your doing that you'll be opening up businesses with the profits you get from the cartel. Your guys keep their portions from the guns and put everything else into businesses around the town. When you get out of drugs you get out of guns and you'll have businesses to keep you guys afloat cause by the time you finish you'll have serval things open. We can even expand TM. Make it something more than just a garage. Maybe add a car wash and have the pron stars work there on their time off." I shrugged.
"Contract drug dealers?"
"They need you. You don't need them. Make them see that"
"But for your plan to work we do need them"
"Jax think about it. The only people that know about my plan is us. They don't know that we need them. They came to you asked you to help them. Right now you have the upper hand. Keep it. Contract them tell them you'll do what they want for 6 months just to help find someone better for the job. They don't need to know that you need them for 6 months just for the money. The only ones that need to know that is SamCro." Jax put out his cigarette I could tell that he was tossing the idea around in his head.
"This idea of yours is insane, but I like it. I don't want to get involved in drugs but if it helps us get to a better place than we might as well just give it a shot."
I beamed at him. I was glad I could help. Even if I just told my man to get involved with buying and selling drugs. "There's an ice cream shop in town that went out of business. I think you should buy that first. I can head up the renovations when I move here. I'll be working at a school so I can out the word in to the parents of the children I'm going to teach"
"That actually sounds like a great idea" he wrapped his arms around my waist "Thank you for this. I was worried as hell I was going to get dragged under"
"Never baby. Not with me around." He kissed me with such a passion I thought I was going to get dragged under. When we parted we were both out of breath.
"I should get the guys back in here and out all of this to a vote" He kissed my lips again.
"And I should get to my meeting at the school"
"Oh shit that's right. I'm sorry I forgot all about that" he frowned.
"It's ok baby. You've had a lot on your mind."
"That's no excuse" he sighed bringing my hand up to kiss it. I winced a little and he looked at me "What happened to your hand?"
"I punched Thomas in the face"
"WHAT? WHY?!" He yelled.
"Relax Jax. I hit him cause he tried to kiss me but im good now. I took care of it. No need for you to go nuclear"
"I'm still going to talk to him" he seethed
"What ever" I shrugged and walked to the door. He followed after me "I love you"
"I love you to. Talke miles with you. I still don't want you alone yet" he stood in the door way of the chapel. I kissed him and nodded.
"miles! Let's roll" I shouted. I kissed Him again, I couldn't get enough of him. "I'll be back in an hour and you can tell me the verdict"
he nodded "Sounds good. Be carful."
"Always" I walked out into the lot waving to all guys.
when I arrived at the school I told Miles to wait for me outside. I didn't want everyone to feel intimidated. I smoothed out my hair and walked into the school with my head held high. No matter how nervous I was. I walked into the office and saw a plump led lady looking into a file. She looked up and smiled when she saw me.
"Hi Miss. Knowles?" She asked me.
I nodded "That's me. Miss. Junior?"
She lifted her hand for me to shake it "Yup. Welcome to charming high" she smiled warmly.
"Thank you. I can't wait to get started here"
"Well I was actually wondering about that" my stomach dropped. If they didn't want me here everything would be for nothing. "I know you wanted to be a Teachers assistant first but I there's an opening for a 4th grade teacher and your highly qualified with some amazing recommendations from your professors, so I wanted to extended the opertunity to you"
i was stunned. "Are you offering me a job right out of school?"
She nodded and motioned for me to have a seat "Yes I am."
"Oh my gosh. This is unexpected but yes I'd love to!"
"That's wonderful. Would you like to see your classroom?"
"My classroom" I squealed. I was so excited. I couldn't believe I would be getting my dream job right out of school. Now I couldn't wait to graduate and get started. I would have to wait until after summer But I didn't care. She gave me a tour of the school before stopping in my new classroom.
"This room hasn't been used all year so it'll be sorta new when you start. You can do what ever you want to it of course and after you graduate we can give you every thing you'll need to get started." She sat at one of the tables "You'll have a class of about 15 students."
I nodded and looked around the classroom mentally decorating it the way I wanted to.
"I was actually hoping I could talk to you about something" she said nervously.
"Sure" I sat across from her.
"We've had multiple burglaries in the past 2 months. They've stolen everything from computers to money from our fund raisers"
"Oh no. Have you told the cops?"
"Yes but they don't care about that kind of thing. They haven't even come back around since the first time we called them" she sighed.
"Oh I'm sorry but what does that have to do with me?"
"Well I was wondering if-" she trailed off and rubbed the back of her kneck. I looked at her trying to figure out what she was getting at. Then it hit me.
"Oh you know about my relationship with Jackson"
"Yes. It was big news when everyone found out he wasn't on the market anymore" She laughed avoiding my eyes "I know there pretty big in this town and I thought they would be able to do what the cops didn't" she rushed out. Like she was scared to say the words.
"Miss. Junior, I don't know what your asking. Don't take this the wrong way but can you just spit it out" I knew what she was getting at but I wanted to actually hear her say it.
She laughed uncomfortably "I was wondering if you would be able to ask Jax to patrol the school? Since the cops aren't doing anything maybe Jax and his guys could find the one doing this to our school?"
"I see. Well I can speak to him about it. I can't make any promises though he's kind of set in a busy place, but I'll use my girlfriend pull" I smiled. I knew Jax would do it but I didn't care. I didn't want her thinking that Jax would automatically do it.
"Thank you. Speaking of fund raisers. I was also wondering if you'd be interested attending this years fundraiser?"
"of course just send me the information and I'll be there"
"Perfect" she stood up "I'll be sending you all the information you need to fill out before school starts in the fall."
"Sounds amazing thank you so much for this opportunity"
"Don't thank me. You've worked hard for this" she smiled "I'll see you soon" she waved as I made my way out of the school. I saw Miles and smiled his way. He just nodded and got on his bike. Business as usual.
When I made it back to the club Jax was in the boxing ring. His shirt was off and he was punching the air. He had on basketball shorts that hung low on his lips in the sexiest way. There were girls drooling watching him. I walked behind them and smirked.
"He's pretty hot isn't he ladies?" The girls all gasped and turned my way. "You can look but don't touch" I laughed. Jax came over and leaned against the ropes.
"Hey baby"
I looked up at him and smirked "Hey sexy" I raised my arms and he helped me into the ring with him. I chuckled when I saw the girls walk away grumbling.
"How did the meeting go?" He asked as he began to punch the air again.
"Good. They offered me a position right out of school." I smiled.
He stopped and looked at me "Babe that's amazing!"
"Yeah I'm excited." I took my heels off and walked to the center with him he put his hands up and I began to punch them "The principle asked me a favor that involves you guys actually" he put his hands down and looked at me "There's been some robberies at the school. The cops aren't doing anything. Wanted me to use my Old Lady card and see if I can get my Old man to patrol the area and catch the guy" he thought about it for a second.
"I don't see the harm in it. I'll get the prospect on it. We can spare him for now. Are you ok with people asking you for favors for us to do"
"I don't know this is the first time it's happened If it's consistent I'll prolly start saying no." I shrugged "How did everything go here?"
He started punching the air again "Good. The guys are on board with the plans. I'm just trying to figure out the things happening with my dad now"
"Process of elimination" I suggested.
"Yeah but who do I eliminate first?"
"Who do you trust without a doubt. 100% trust"
T"Opie" He answered automatically.
"ok so cross him off the list. Who do we have left, Chibs, Tig, Bobby, Piney, Happy and juice then you have the prospects Half Sack and miles."
"The prospects don't know my father. He's been in Ireland since before they became our bitch boys"
"So we can cross them out?"
"I guess so. I don't know if I really trust them"
"Ok so let's try something else. Who would have something to gain by killing your father?"
"Noboday that I can think of. That's why this doesn't make sense but something in me is telling me this wasn't an accident."
"That's cause it wasn't" Thomas said while he joined us in the boxing ring.
"What are you talking about?"
"I know someone tried to have dad killed." He simply said.
"How do you figure that?" Jax crossed his arms over his bare chest for a moment I was lost looking at his sculpted body. I wanted to run my tounge all across his abs. I had to tear my gaze away from him I was starting to get moist between my legs and if I didn't look at something else I was going to ravage him in front of everyone.
"I went to the junk yard where his bike is. There was cut wires. Someone screwed with his bike before he got on it and who was the only person he let touch his bike?"
Jax looked to be in thought and then as if I can see the light bulb go off, realization hit him "Lowell Sr."
"Exactly. We find him we get something" Thomas nodded his head.
"This stays between us" Jax instructed.
"Sure we can trust her?" He pointed to me.
I narrowed my eyes "Do you want to get punched again?"
"I trust her Thomas." Jax growled. His muscles flexed as he balled his hands into fist and I swore my heart skipped a beat.
Thomas held his hands up "Ok ok. Jesus one little joke and everyone wants to beat me up."
"Cause you don't know when to stop" he seethed.
"Alright I'm sorry. I won't hit on you any more or make jokes" he told me.
"Thanks" i said dryly.
"I'm going to grab a beer and a crow eater" He smirked and jump outta of the ring.
"You think he could be right?" Jax asked me.
"I don't know baby you'll have to figure that out. He seems like he has ligit accusations"
"This shit has me stressed Tara." He sighed.
I walked over to him and cupped his face "It's going to be ok" I kissed him my hunger for him growing.
"Sorry I'm all sweaty" He smirked and tried to pull away from me but I brought him closer.
"It's ok I like it" I grinned at him wickedly.
He laughed "Come take a shower with me."
I nuzzled the crook of his neck and placed kissed there "But you smell so good" And he did. He had a musky scent to him mixed with motor oil and just him. It was intoxicating.
"Your kinky" Jax laughed and wrapped his arms around me.
"You love it" I ran my toung along his neck and tasted his salty skin.
"I do" he nodded. "I love everything about you" he lifted my face and the intensity in his eyes was surprising. It was like he'd come to a realization about something I wouldn't understand. His eyes told me everything I needed to know though. His love for me was coming out in waves dragging me under in a whirlpool. His eyes were shining, telling me a secret I would only know. I felt the magnetic pull getting stronger and I couldn't resist him any more. I crashed my lips to his and the world exploded leaving just us 2 in the midst of chaos. I loved this man with every fiber of my being and with every breath I took. He was my soul mate in a every way. He made me feel whole, like he was a part of a puzzle piece that I didn't even know was missing. When we pulled away we were both breathless.
"Hey Jax!" We heard Opie behind us but we ignored him. I pressed my lips to his again and this time Fire errupted. Jax picked me up bridal style and carried me to his room. How we got out of the ring was beyond me and honestly I didn't care. When he closed the door behind us he set me on my feet and stripped me down. I was incoherent my body was literally running on lust desire passion and love. So much so that when he laid me down and thrusted into me every thought I had disappeared and there was only him and the sensations he was giving me. We've had sex more times than I can count in the time that we've known eachother but this was different. Every kiss he laid on my skin was a whispered promise, every thrust was him ensuring his commitment to me. This hard faced, big bad ass biker with hands of a killer was worshipping me. His thrust got rougher but he didn't quicken his pace.
"I love you" He whispered against my kneck. I didn't get a chance to reply before he was whispering it again like his own personal mantra. Like he was trying to convince me of what I already knew.
"I know Jackson. Ill never doubt it" I have whispered it and half moaned it. He was working magic on my body and I knew soon I would feel that familiar pull before I errupted in pleasure that I learned only he could create. "Oh god Jackson you feel so good baby" he picked up his speed and I moaned loudly. I met him thirst for thrust picking up a rhythm that seemed to mapped out just for us.
"I want you to come with me Tara" he panted in my ear "You ready?"
I whimpered in response I was beyond ready. His sped up his pace once again and I had no choice but to lay there in surrender to him as he went savage on my body. "Your mine" he growled as we both exploded. My body was tingling and I was sent on a high I didn't think would ever come down from. My body twitched as he pulled out and laid beside me.
"That was-" I couldn't finish I was in a daze. Everything around me was hazy I could only feel.
"I know" He panted trying to catch his breath. I couldn't stay awake any more. He had exhausted me in the best way possible. I snuggled into his side closed my eyes and let my dreams take over.
**Jax POV**
When I heard Taras breathing even out i untangled myself from her and got out of bed. I couldn't sleep. Even though I would have loved nothing more than to stay in bed with her, my mind was on over drive and I just couldn't seem to turn it off long enough to fall asleep. I threw on some cloths and walked back over to Tara kissing her lips softly so I would wake her up.
"I love you Jackson" She said in her sleep.
I smiled and shook my head "I love you more baby" I kissed her lips once more and left the room. I went into the common area of the club house and Everyone was still up of course, since it was only about 10pm. I went over to the bar and grabbed a beer and joined Ope on the couch.
"We'll look who decided to show thier pretty little face" Ope teased.
"Shut up man" I took a sip of my beer and smiled.
"Do you know how many times I called your name before you just swooped your girl up and left" He asked.
"No"
"this thing you have going on with Tara it isn't going away huh" I looked over at him. He looked genuinely curious.
"Nah man I don't think so. I've never felt like this about anyone, ever. It's different with her. I don't know how and I don't know why but it's like she was sent just for me. My own personal heaven in this hell"
"Wow that's deep man" Ope laughed.
I punched his shoulder and shook my head, laughing I said "It's the only way to describe it."
"I'm glad you found her man. She's good for you and good for us. I mean look at the ideas she's already given you. Helping you with club stuff and everything else. She really stepped up when your John got into that accident."
"I know" I smiled just thinking about my girl bein in charge of all these guys. I wish I had been here to see it. She really did pull threw for us when she was needed and that was one of the reasons why I wanted to make her mine in every way. I looked at Ope "I'm gonna marry her" I said seriously.
His head snapped up "What?"
"She's it for me. She makes me feel whole. You said it she's good for me and she's taken on the role of head old lady like a damn champ. She's the only one that I want to have a family with. I never even thought of having kids before and now I want a mess of them." I smiled again at the thought of Tara pregnant with my child. The image had me almost ready to go back into my room and get her pregnant. "I just can't do it with the club the way it is right now. I'm freaking out about having her around shit that involves the cartel but to bring a kid into the mix" I scoffed "I'd loose my mind trying to protect them both. That's why I need us out of the bad shit Ope. Not only for me but for everyone else that may want to have a family but are to scared of the life we live to do that."
"Your really serious about all this aren't you?"
"Like a heart attack Ope."
"Then let's get started. Tomorrow we'll meet with the cartel and tell them are demands and go from there. We get the first payment tomorrow if they agree and then we can buy that ice cream shop Tara was talking about. She only had what 3 weeks left of school?" He asked. When I nodded he continued. "She can get it ready during the summer before she starts working at the school and we can look into the expansion of TM"
"You think it'll work out the way we want it to?"
"One day at a time Jax. Only time will tell. Plus I want a good life to I don't want to bring Donna into drama."
I raised my eye brows "What's going on with you and Donna?"
"I don't know. All I know is that I really really like her. Where it's going is up in the air for now" he laughed.
"Seems like a good girl"
"She is" he nodded "So tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow" I agreed. Tomorrow would be the start of everything we hoped we could accomplish. We had 6 months. Half a year to set everything in motion to create better life. For my club, for my girl, for my family. Deep down I knew it wasn't going to be a smooth road but on the surface I was hoping like hell shit wouldn't turn upside down.
