My eyes scanned the papers. I was grading on a clip board on the side of me, since Happy's head was still on my lap and my free left hand was gently sliding up and down his chest.

"Damn these kids are smart." Happy said looking between my answer key and the homework. "Haa but not this Kelly kid, she missed ALLL of them." I grinned looking at him.

"Guess I'll have to try harder in teaching her, so she understands." I replied finishing up my papers.

"You're a great teacher. All these other kids passed." he said, and I smiled looking down at him.

"Yeah well I try. Those kids deserve to learn everything they can." I replied. He grinned and finally sat up and pulled me onto him. I straddled his lap and he just looked at my chest, lightly running his fingers over my neck and down my chest.

"You ever think about getting a tattoo?" he asked. I shrugged some. The thought crossed my mind, but not anything I wanted to pay for.

"There are a few things I did want when I was younger, but nothing I'm willing to spend money to get." I replied and he scoffed.

"Girl, why you ain't come to me. I could do em." he said, and I laughed some.

"Thanks, but-"

"But what, you think I'm not any good?" he asked faking offense and I rolled my eyes and smiled.

"Well maybe I don't deal with pain very well." I teased and now he looked at me as if he didn't believe me.

"You let me fuck you for three hours straight once. You can handle anything." he said with an impressed tone and I grinned.

"You just want me to be covered in tattoos like you." I replied running my hand over his head finally moving to examine the tattoo etched into his head. His arms wrapped around me and pulled me in and I gently nuzzled his head with my cheek.

"I wouldn't mind." he replied softly as he leaned in to lightly graze his lips against my skin. I bit my lip feeling the warmth already start to grow in the pit of my stomach. I let my head fall back some before looking back down at him.

"Are you hungry?" I asked lightly, and he shook his head.

"Nah mama, I have all that I need right here." he said. My hands ran down his hardened abs. Finally our lips found each other and I felt my hips already starting to move against his. For once though, he pulled back and held my hips in place stopping me. He looked up at me with a mischievous smirk. That couldn't be good. "Sorry we ain't fucking until those results come back." I tilted my head stunned for a second.

"What's brought this on?" I asked trying to move my hips against his again, only for him to hold me in place tighter.

"I want to let it all build up inside us, so when we get the answers we both want, it'll feel even better." he said. I gave a light pout.

"Results can take a while though." I replied.

'How do I know you can even hold out that long?' I thought. He smirked.

"That's the fun." he said and I gave a playful pout nodding.

"Fine. But that means no teasing or tempting. I would hate to have to jump you for flaunting your chest around me." I replied leaning over to grab his shirt and place it on his head. "So make yourself decent." I moved to get off him and he laughed, straightening out his shirt to put it on. I gathered the papers and placed Happy's in another pile. I wanted to make sure he didn't make any mistakes while grading.

I placed the papers in a folder.

"So I guess it'll be down to masturbating then." I assumed.

"What are you talking about?" he asked. I smirked moving toward my stairs.

"Since we aren't having sex, I guess everything else is off of the table too." I asked innocently as I moved up the stairs. I could see his body jumping up before the walls were all I could see.

"Well dang when you put it like that now it really sounds terrible." he said. We were at the top of the stairs when a honking noise made us pause. Happy suddenly winced and looked away.

"What is it?" I asked concerned and he shook his head.

"It's fine. It's just Bobby and them. We gotta do something tonight and it's going to be dangerous." he said. I tensed and frowned at this new information.

"And you're just now telling me this?" I asked, and he shook his head.

"I didn't want to worry you. If any police ask you just tell them I was here with you all night." he said moving back down the stairs. I followed after him my mound clouded with fear and panic. He moved into the living room and grabbed his vest and slid it on. He was going to kill someone that much I knew.

"Just be careful." I said quickly as he opened the door. He quickly looked at me and kissed me quickly.

"Keep your house key under your door. I'll be back." he said. I crossed my arms pouting some.

"I won't be waiting up." I replied, and he smirked and kissed me again before leaving. I watched him head over to some black truck. I could see Bobby and Jax and Chibs in the front and back seats. Happy hopped right in and the truck took off. I sighed gently before closing the door behind me. I went back upstairs with the graded papers and looked over the papers he had graded. I smiled as he had graded each one correctly.

"Yeah Kelly you and I need to have a talk." I replied. When it was late, I quickly slid my key under the door. I kept my porch light off so no one would see me. I moved back to my room and slid out of my clothes before sliding into my bed. My blankets were so soft. Top comforter and bottom thermal layer. It's perfect. I just stared out into space thinking about what Happy was going off to do. Who was he going to hurt? How would he hurt them? Would he hurt them slowly or end them quickly? Nah he liked to take his time with people. That much I knew. It took me three more hours of lying in bed before I finally fell asleep.

I dreamed I was at work teaching and the kids were being good and polite and doing everything I said. The front door opening made my eyes snap open and I sat up. My mind was blurry, and I looked at the door. Someone was coming up the stairs and I just sat there waiting for them. My clock says it's four in the morning. It was Happy, I had to believe it was Happy. The door opened and finally Happy came into view. He saw me and gave a deep sigh as I gave a sigh of relief. I could hardly make out what he had on. My mind was too fuzzy at this point. But he removed his vest and then his shirt. He tossed what I could only assume was my key onto my night stand before taking off his shoes then his pants. He was completely naked and got right under my blankets.

I hated it when he did that because I knew he was not clean at all, and he knew how I felt about it. But I needed to finish sleeping so I just turned back on my side and closed my eyes. I feel his arm wrap around my stomach and pull me into him suddenly and his body curled around me. His face nuzzled in my hair and I found myself smiling as sleep took us both. The next morning, he was gone, which was okay. I expected as much. I slid some panty hoes on and slid on a black skirt and white blouse with a black business blazer on over it. I toasted a bagel and headed out to work. I got into the back seat and placed my purse on the passenger side.

Suddenly, a flash of beige could be seen, and I gasped hard as I felt the barrel of a gun pointing into the side of my head. AJ Weston's angry glare could be seen in my front mirror.

"Drive." he demanded.
