Chapter 11

Clay looked at Juice, "Tap into her bank records, look anywhere you can think of. She hasn't been hiding anything from us, but maybe it will help us figure out where to look."

"Everyone, be on the lookout for this guy or for anything else that seems out of place. If he went after both Jax and Dani in the same day we know he's dangerous. Even if this is personal, he knows she's connected to us. He might try to go after anyone of us to get a hold of her."

They all nodded. Everyone would be on high alert with this guy running around. Even if he left town for now, someone would be around to replace him before long.

"We done here?"

"One more thing," Clay raised his eyes and looked directly at Hap. "Gemma wants to see you before you leave the club house again. Any idea what that could be about Hap?" The way Clay was grinning at him like a Cheshire cat told Hap he knew exactly why Gemma wanted to see him.

Hap was pissed. Everyone around the table was looking at him. Some amused, some confused, and some hostile. Hap didn't like the attention. "I'll see her when we're done."

"You do that, she doesn't like to be kept waiting." The guys all chuckled.

Church cleared out. Juice headed for his laptop, Jax was heading to his house with a prospect in tow. Tig, Chibs, and Kozik were going to head out and have another look around town when Tig's phone rang.

"Clay, the manager of the motel called, there's a silver Camry in his parking lot, we'll go check it out."

Hap was about to go with them when Gemma stopped him. "Hap I need a hand over here if you don't mind." She walked back into the kitchen behind the bar and it was clear she expected him to follow. He looked at Clay and saw him chuckle at him.

Hap sighed and followed her in. "What do you need Gemma?" Hap asked her politely but the hostility was practically radiating off of him. He didn't want anyone sticking their nose in his personal business, even if it was Gemma.

"I'm making some tea for Dani, I put her to bed in your room, didn't think you'd mind." She stared directly at Hap when she spoke, then she waited.

Hap looked at her "You want me to bring it to her?"

"What do you think I want Hap?"

"Thought we had your blessing."

"She has my blessing. You know I love you and have run the crazy whores off for you before. She is also my niece, the daughter of my sister, whom I loved dearly. I'm not sure if you thought about it Hap, but you have to realize what will happen, and not just to Dani, if you don't take this seriously. Do you really think any of the guys would stand for you making her unhappy?"

Hap hadn't really thought about it. She was right though. Dani was everyone's unofficial kid sister. He'd always thought of her in a protective way, but he also always knew there was something about her. He'd wanted her for so long that he never thought about what the guys would think about him being with her. He didn't want to think about it now. He and Dani had always had something between them. He never thought about what that might look like to the rest of the club.

"I ain't going anywhere Gem."

"You hurt her, and it will cause trouble for the club. You knock her up, and I will make you march her down the aisle. Clear?"

"Clear."

"Good, bring her this tea. She needs to be woken up. We need to wake her up every few hours and make sure she's still ok and that her head hasn't gotten any worse."

…

Hap carried the tea down the hall to his room. He didn't really know what to think about Gemma's little speech. He wasn't planning on fucking Dani over, but he hadn't really been thinking about what they would do long term. He didn't even know what she wanted. He'd never shared pussy in the past, but once he was done with it, it was fair game for everyone else. It wasn't like that with Dani. The thought of letting anyone else have her had him seeing red. He couldn't even think about what Gemma said about kids. They'd used protection, would continue to use protection. He never knew his own Dad, wasn't sure if he wanted kids of his own. Did she want kids?

He opened the door to his room as quietly as possible. It was late, it had been a hell of a day, and he wasn't sure what would happen tomorrow.

Every confusing thought he had in his head about what they were doing flew away when he looked down at her. She was curled up in his bed and was fast asleep. She was wearing one of his t-shirts and nothing else. Her long, blonde hair was spread all over his pillow. Whatever they had, it was instinctual. He couldn't have stayed away from her if he wanted to, and right now, all he wanted to do was feel her against him and know she was safe.

He put the tea down on the night stand and then sat on the bed next to her. He ran his hands over her hair and pushed it back from her face. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked up at him. Neither of them said anything. Her eyes froze him into place. They were so big, so blue, and so open and honest. He'd seen her look at the other guys, sometimes in humor, sometimes in surprise, and sometimes in disgust. Whenever she looked at him, it was with a look much more mature than her 23 years. Her look for him had a lot of possessiveness in it. He recognized it because it was the same way he looked at her. Gemma was right, he couldn't fuck it up with her. Maybe what Gemma didn't realize though, was that he didn't want to.

Dani reached up and touched his face with the palm of her hand. He leaned his cheek into her touch. She sat up slowly and leaned forward, placing a light kiss on his lips. She drew back and opened her eyes in time to see his nostrils flare and his eyes dilate.

"Does your head still hurt?" Hap's voice was low and very controlled when he asked her.

She leaned forward again, her lips right against his mouth "Kissing you makes it feel much better."

He didn't want to play games. He grabbed her and kissed her hard. She felt so good. He couldn't get the image of her covered in blood out of his head. The feeling of terror in his gut when he didn't know who the blood belonged to was fresh in his mind.

He pushed her down onto the bed and followed her, pressing against her, never breaking the kiss. She pulled at his shirt and let out a frustrated cry when it got stuck between them. He chuckled at her frustration and she felt his chest move with his laughter.

"Do I amuse you?" she asked him, mildly pissed off.

"No, you amaze me." She melted under him, her eyes going all gooey. "You make me hot, Dani." He took her hand and placed it on his rock hard length. He hissed through his teeth as her small hand rubbed him through his jeans. "So fucking hot."

He ripped his shirt off of her and then got rid of his own clothes in record speed. He needed her, needed her so fucking bad right now. Needed to know she was ok, that she was alive and well and safe in his bed where she belonged.

His hand reached down between them and he found her dripping for him. Her body arched into his touch, her hips flying off the bed and her hands reaching up to grip his shoulders tight. She bent her knee and used it as leverage while she pushed herself up and then shoved him down on the bed underneath her.

Her lips found his again, her tongue pushing its way inside his mouth to spar with his. Slowly, she moved down his body, dragging her breasts over his chest, kissing, licking, and biting her way to his tight abs. He knew what she what she was doing, where her mouth was headed, he was just about to tell her not to when he felt her cup his balls and take his length into her mouth. His hand flew to the back of her head and his hips rose to meet her. Her tongue swirled around him, her head moving up and down while he gripped her hair.

She was on her knees and leaning over him, her head moving up and down over his cock. He reached out and grabbed her leg, pulling her around so her hips were over his face. He pulled her hot center down on his tongue while she continued to work his cock with her hands and her lips. She increased her speed on him, he used his tongue mercilessly on her. His hand reached up and found her clit and he began to circle the straining nub with his thumb. Her breathy cries were mixed with his low growls.

He couldn't take it anymore, her head came up and he shoved her hips down his body and then slammed her home on top of his cock. She faced away from him, reverse cowgirl style, and he grabbed her by the hair as he moved her up and down on his hard shaft. She reached her hands down under his hips, pulling him further inside of her with each thrust, grinding her clit on his cock until her orgasm made her cry out and shatter around him. One more thrust and he exploded inside of her, holding her down until he was empty.

Both of them were panting and covered in sweat. He moved her off his cock and pulled her back down beside him. He reached down and got them a towel to clean up with. Both of them lay on their backs, still breathing heavy.

"Jesus Christ, Hap. Is it always like this?"

He looked over at her. She looked absolutely beautiful. Her hair was wild, her breathing still not back to normal, and he knew her legs felt like jello. He knew that because his did too.

"No Dani, this is different." She smiled at him and then kissed him again. He kissed her back, tenderly and then ran his hand over her head, finding the bump from where she slammed it against the bricks earlier. "Does this still hurt?"

"It's tender, but the headache I had seems to have disappeared. Wonder what chased it away?" She smiled at him.

Lay down woman, my ass is draggin' after fucking you senseless all day with you getting shot at in between!" He tried to look at her seriously but she giggled at him.

He pulled her down into his side and she rested her head on his chest. "Go back to sleep Dani, you need your rest."

"I'll bounce back, Hap. After all, I'm not the one ready to check into the nursing home!"

"You did not just say that!" He flipped her on to her back and tickled her mercilessly. She laughed uncontrollably, loving this playful side of Happy that she knew hardly anyone got to see. She tried to block his hands but he managed to catch both of hers and trap them over her head in one of his, giving his other hand unrestricted access to her very ticklish ribs.

"Take it back, Dani!" She couldn't stop laughing. "I take it back, Hap!" "You damn well better!" He looked down at her and saw she was still shaking with laughter. He leaned down and kissed the breath out of her. He pulled back and she looked up at him. "I love you Hap, even if you are ready for the nursing home!" She giggled again.

He was stunned but tried not to let it show. "What'd you say, Dani, not sure I can hear without my hearing aids." She leaned up and kissed him again. "I said I love you, and I know damn well you heard me."

He kissed her again, a long, slow, tender kiss. "Love you too, Tights." He pulled her back down to his side and let sleep claim them both.

…

Hap woke up the next morning to the burner phone ringing for him.

"Yeah."

It was Tig. "Hap, we got him, come over to the motel just outside of town. Room 213."

"On my way."

Hap looked down at the beautiful woman sleeping in his bed. He'd been in some form of love with her since she was 16 and he knew it. Someone wanted to hurt her, wanted to kill her and Jax. He was going to make sure that never happened.

Hap got up and quietly dressed. Dark clothes, his kutte, his favorite knife, his leather gloves, his pliers, his hammer, his glock. He felt the change take place in him. The tender lover that spent the night with a gorgeous ballerina was leaving. He was being replaced by the Tacoma Killer. The man who could get information out of a deaf mute if he had to. The man who was going to make sure Dani never had to worry about this man again.

He left the room and didn't look back. He wasn't coming back until he was sure she was safe.
