Chapter 12:
"At the end of the world
Or the last thing I see
You are
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the things that you never ever told me
And all the smiles that are ever gonna haunt me
Never coming home
Never coming home
Could I? Should I?
And all the wounds that are ever gonna scar me
For all the ghosts that are never gonna catch me
If I fall
If I fall (down)"
-My Chemical Romance "Ghost of You"
Stella woke around 5am to Happy's hand rubbing her thigh. Her leg twitched in his direction involuntarily and Hap ran his hand down to her center, flicking a finger over her already swollen clit. Stella moaned deeply. She was lying with her back to his chest. She reached her free hand back to run her hand over his neck as she turned her head to kiss him. Happy let his fingers roam her pussy, rubbing circles on the tip of her clit. That simple motion lit her body on fire. With every circle of her clit, her toes reflexed and her hips shifted. Happy tipped his head down and sucked on her pulse as he continued his assault on her pussy. He felt her body clench and shake in orgasm.
As Stella came down, she reached behind her and grasped his rock hard dick. Happy spoke into her ear, "Baby, this was about you. You don't have to take care of that."
She wanted to, so she lifted a leg and hooked it over his hip behind her. Stella guided his dick into her pussy and felt his groan vibrate through her body all the way down to her core. Happy wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her back further into him. They began a slow rhythm that took his cock all the way into her tight pussy. Happy had to clench his hands to keep from coming.
Happy pushed against the bed and moved so she was on her stomach and her legs were spread wide and pinned to the bed. Happy pushed into her with a bruising force. Stella was ready to come undone. She gripped the comforter when he kissed her shoulder lovingly and began fucking her with a rough force that made her entire body tense in anticipation. They came together in an earth shattering force that left Stella a panting, sweaty mess on the bed. Happy was plastered to her back, trying to gather his senses enough to pull out and lay with her.
It felt like hours before either tried to move. Happy slid off of her and slipped his dick from her pussy with a moan. He laid back on his side and pulled her close to him. Without speaking a single time, they fell back asleep—sated and comfortable.
Stella woke again at 9am. Her body ached from the rough sex she had enjoyed with Happy the night before. She could feel the body heat soaking into her back—skin against skin. Hap was molded to her with his arm draped over her waist. She had to giggle a bit.
"What's so funny?" Happy was awake.
"Happy Lowman—the Tacoma Killer is spooning." She laughed.
Happy pulled her even closer, "You feel that boner. It's called forking. You're welcome."
Even better, Happy was making jokes. Stella couldn't believe her ears. This was comfortable interaction. His MC Brothers would likely never see this side of him. Stella felt kind of honored.
Stella turned to face Happy. "I think I'm gonna stick around here today. After the chaos that was yesterday, I need a couple of days away."
Happy nodded. "Looks like I'm staying here too then."
Stella's brow scrunched, "You don't have to babysit me. You can go do whatever it is you need to do."
Hap looked serious again, "No. Someone targeted you because of the club. I will be with you at all times until the bastard is caught. It's not babysitting. It's vacation."
Stella snuggled further into the comforter. "Lazy day it is."
It wasn't until at least noon that she decided to head downstairs and get some stuff done. She still had a few boxes with personal items to unpack. As she began pulling pictures out of a box, she was stopped by one in particular. It was one of Scott. He was sleeping in their bed. The sheet wrapped around his waist, but the rest of him was bare. You couldn't tell from the picture, but aside from the sheet he was completely nude. They had made love for hours—he had whispered his love for her in her hear as they came for the third time. She had woken up a few hours later, enamored by his beauty. She wanted to remember that moment forever. So she had snapped the picture. He had begged her not to put up where anyone would see it when they visited the apartment. She had agreed to keep it on the nightstand.
In that moment, Stella felt a dread settle in the pit of her stomach. There, right next to Scott's body on the picture was the word slut. Someone had scratched the word into the surface. How had someone gotten into her belongings? She had packed the boxes herself. But she hadn't been at the apartment when the mover's had picked up her belongings. Somewhere in the middle of her leaving and the mover's arriving, someone had gotten to her belongings and marred the picture of Scott.
"Happy!" Stella called him to the living room and he rushed to get to her. She just held the picture out to him. "That wasn't there when I packed it."
Hap ran a hand over his face and head. "I'm gonna call Clay. Let him know you found something new. I'll be just outside of the door. Stay put."
Stella was shaken, but she wouldn't let it ruin her day again. She shakily kept unpacking the boxes in her living room as Hap talked to Clay on the front porch. She could hear the muffled talking.
Stella pulled the last picture out of the box and placed it on a shelf. She made her way to the kitchen to fix a glass of sweet tea. When Hap found her in the kitchen, he stood on the opposite side of the island from her. "Clay agreed that I should stay here. He has Juice running anything he can get his hands on about us, you, and New York." He made his way around the island and wrapped an arm around her. "I think I'm gonna make my Ma's famous empanadas tonight. You can just sit back and relax."
Stella smirked at him. "Any chance I can get in on it. I mean, if they're famous, I wanna know how to make 'em."
Happy smiled at her halfway. "If I do, you can't tell my Ma. She would beat my ass. Then again, if she likes you, she might just show you herself."
"I gotta meet this lady at some point. She's gotta be tough as nails to raise you." Stella laughed and looked anxiously at Happy. She didn't want to cross any lines with him.
"Well since you have cemented yourself as my one day old lady, I guess we can make that happen. But I want to wait until you're ready to be with me, because I can't bring her into this, until I know for sure what we are."
"I tell you what, I will wait to learn the secret recipe, but in the meantime, I have a hot tub outside that I have yet to touch. I think I need to wind down later this evening and you're going to join me." Stella kissed Happy deeply and went back to unpacking her other boxes.
AN: I think a little drama in the next chapter would be good. I work tonight so it will probably be tomorrow evening before I update again.
