In The Blood

Chapter 21


Harley couldn't believe he actually loved her. She had gotten herself so worried earlier that she had thought he didn't even like her right now, much less loved her. "I love you, too," she replied breathlessly when he removed his lips from hers to kiss his way down her neck and across her collar bone.

Moaning breathlessly, Harley pulled his shirt off, trailing her nails down his back as he reached under her pyjama top and began fondling her breast. He decided to just remove her shirt altogether a few moments later, and tossed it aside. He kissed his way down her chest to suck on and lick her nipple.

Honestly, she had never imagined that she would love someone again after Kip. She wanted to show Kozik just how much she loved him tonight. She rolled them over so she was on top of him and began kissing her way down his body. He was still playing with her breasts, but let her take control this time.

When she got to the top of his pants, she unbuckled them and unbuttoned them, pulling them down and then he kicked them off. His boxers soon followed suit and she was greeted by his very large cock, which was already hard. She grinned up at him and then got between his legs and took him in her mouth.

"Oh fuck, shit Harley!" Kozik growled as he ran his hands through her dark blonde hair and he came then in her mouth, she swallowed him and smiled at him teasingly.

Kozik growled and pulled her underneath him as he slid into her and she whimpered, tangling her hands into his short dark blonde hair as he kissed her again and again.

"Love you, love you so much." Harley said softly as she kissed his cheeks and he held her tightly to him as he thrusted into her harder this time than the last.

"I love you," Kozik replied as he thrust harder. He kissed her again and she moaned, squirming underneath him. Harley reached up and kissed his neck, biting down as he hit her g-spot. After a few more thrusts, she came around him, causing him to follow with a groan.

Kozik collapsed on the bed next to her and she cuddled up to his chest, placing kisses there. Harley realized they had just had sex without protection and nearly groaned out loud. There was too much going on right now to get pregnant. She couldn't do it. She wouldn't tell him that though.

Honestly, they had just started having sex. They just weren't ready for a kid. She'd take the morning after pill tomorrow. And then she'd get back on birth control. She had stopped after Kip had died, because she hadn't been expecting to be having sex any time soon, but she really didn't expect this either.

Harley knew it'd all be okay, but she did need to get a form of birth control like the patch or something, because she'd always been bad at remembering to take a pill every day. She'd have to call her OBGYN tomorrow and make an appointment. She'd get it all figured out. She was just going to enjoy it right now.

Resting her head on Kozik's chest, she closed her eyes and he kissed the top of her head and started stroking her hair as they both started to fall asleep. "I was so worried about you. Please, don't ever get attacked again," he mumbled before they fell asleep, and she was already half asleep so she could do nothing but smile and rub her hand back and forth across his chest as she drifted off.


Harper sighed in relief as she watched Jax reunite with Abel, she sighed in exhaustion as Chibs held her close along with Kerrianne and they said goodbye to the others.

They both then got on the plane and sat down as Jax got a call from Tig informing him about Tara and quickly formed a plan as they started flying back to Charming.

Abel cooed as he sat in Gemma's arms and she rocked him tenderly, her grandson was safe from harm and Clay fussed over him happily.

At least they had Abel.

Chibs held her close and she curled into him, smiling at Kerrianne as the young girl smiled back softly.

Home.

When they landed, Chibs took Harper and Kerrianne to his place so Kerrianne could unpack. There wasn't an extra bedroom at Harper's house for Kerrianne, and part of him wanted her to move in with him anyway, so Harley and Kozik could have their own space, and they could have their own space.

Harley was at the studio all day, so Harper decided to take Kerrianne there first so she could see her sister. Chibs was headed for the clubhouse anyway. He wanted to check in and make sure everything was going okay. He, Opie, Kozik and the Prospect were going to be the only ones around while the others were in prison for the next fourteen months, so they had to make things run smoothly.

At the studio, Harley was directing a new scene in the office set for a naughty teacher movie. She was doing pretty well with this whole directing porn thing, actually. She must have learned that from her mother. She was just glad she could do it. She was able to keep her mother's business alive without having to get in front of the camera, which is what her father wanted.

Heading into the studio, Harper looked around for her twin. She finally spotted her shooting a scene, and led Kerrianne over to Harley, gesturing for her to shush as she placed her hands over her sister's eyes. "Guess who," she said to Harley, who shrieked and called for everyone to take five before she turned around to attack her sister with a hug. "This is Kerrianne. Kerrianne, this is my sister, Harley," Harper made the introductions.

Grinning, Harley gave Kerrianne a hug before turning back to her sister. "I'm so glad to see you, Harp. I've missed you so much. I've got loads to tell you. I think I'll take the day off. We can resume filming tomorrow," she said before she gave her actors the day off and led the other two to her office to talk while everyone else cleared off.

"So you're Kerrianne, Chibs' little girl?" Harley asked curiously and Kerrianne nodded shyly as Harley smiled at her kindly as the guard dog, Mick charged in.

"Hey there boy." Kerrianne said softly and Mick barked softly as he rolled around on his back and let Kerrianne stroke him and fuss over him lovingly.

"Lyla's having twin baby boys." Harley revealed amused and Harper looked shocked then.

Jesus, she hoped Lyla took it easy along with Lowell.

"They're renovating the house, aren't they?" Harper asked softly and Harley nodded in response.

"We might get our house renovated, make more room and Tara's safe but Jacob Hale is in trouble...he lost the election so Elliot is now mayor, thank god." Harley said relived as Donna entered with Lyla then.

"The boys are at baseball practise and Ellie's at her swimming class." Donna explained softly as she hugged all of them.

"Hey there, director. You just need a break for the day?" Lyla joked as she waddled over and took a seat. She noticed Kerrianne as she hugged Harper, who came over to her because she was so pregnant. "You must be Kerrianne. I'm Lyla. I used to work for Harley, before Lowell went and knocked me up. When I'm not on maternity leave, I do office work now," she introduced herself with a smile.

Nodding at her, Kerrianne waved. "This is my first time being in the states. I like it so far. Harper's a pretty good tour guide though, even though this was kind of our first stop," she laughed. She meant it though. Harper's friends seemed great. And her sister was pretty awesome, too. She was practically Kerrianne's aunt, so she was glad she was so nice.

Nudging Harper, Donna shook her head. "You've gotta do better than this, Harp. I mean, we are awesome, and everything, but she hasn't even been to a mall here yet, or seen any cute guys her age, or anything. This can't be the best you can do," Donna joked, and Harper just stuck her tongue out at her.

"There's a shopping mall in Stockton, we can take you there and show you the shops." Harper offered and Kerrianne looked excited as they all grabbed their bags and Lyla accompanied them as Mick was dropped off at the Delaney house.

The drive to Stockton was only half an hour so they reached there at good time as they got out and felt t the wind blow their hair as they entered the mall.

Kerrianne was amazed, she had never been to a shopping mall before, and all of her clothes had been brought from high street stores.

Spotting a cute boy, she looked at Harper. "I think I'm going to like it here," she said as she glanced at the cute boy again and lifted her hand in a wave. He approached her, looking at the adults, who took their cue and walked off with a wave to look at a sunglasses stand a few feet away. "Hi," she said to him.

Grinning at her, he moved his chocolate brown hair out from in front of his green eyes. "Hey. Do you want to go out sometime?" he asked her, and she smiled over at Harper, who gave her the thumbs up before she looked back over at him and nodded. "How about Friday? I'm Greg, by the way," he said and she gave him her address so he could pick her up. He gave her his number so that when she got a new phone she could give him her number.

"I'm Kerrianne," she said and he turned to walk away. Before he could get far, he turned and told her he liked her accent before he went into a store about twenty feet away. Harper, Harley, Donna and Lyla all came back over. "We're going out Friday night. Do ya think Da will be okay with that?" She asked.

"I think your dad will be fine with it, sweetie." Harper said reassuringly as they went into the shops and treated themselves to some clothes and other things too.

Lyla had brought new shoes for herself, Lowell, Piper and Moby as they all went to have something to eat and decided on a KFC family bucket and got clothes for Kerrianne.

They started heading back to the car when they saw that the area was being cordoned off.

"What the hell is going on?" Harley asked concerned as she held the pharmacy bag in which contained her birth control pills and condoms.

Kozik had asked her if she wanted to meet Kendra and his brother, Tomas and she had happily said yes.

She knew Kozik was no angel himself, he was a former drug addict but had checked into rehab and joined the USA Marines and had served for four years with Tig.

Add to the fact he was a devout Catholic who was pro-choice and felt uncomfortable about abortion.

Harley understood that. She didn't really feel comfortable with abortion either. Which is why she was taking her precautions where she could. She still wasn't very happy with Tara for being on her way to an abortion clinic when she got picked up. Still, now that Jax knew she was pregnant, she wasn't going to get rid of their baby. He wouldn't let her.

Anyway, she needed to get to the car and get out of here. She was supposed to be there to meet Kendra and Tomas already. She called him to let him know she was going to be a little late. She needed to drop Harper off at the house still too. Harper wanted to get a few things that she wanted to give to Kerrianne, and she was going to have Chibs pick them up later.

Donna and Lyla had come in Donna's car, and they were parked in a different parking lot, so they had probably already left.

Harley got Kozik's voicemail and decided to leave a message, even though he rarely checked them. "Hey, handsome, I'm going to be a little late. We're still at the mall and I need to drop Harp and Kerrianne off at home. They're cordoning off the area where my car is, too, so I'll try to be there as soon as possible. I love you," she said before hanging up.


After dropping off Harper and Kerrianne, then showering and putting on light make up and wearing her favourite black skinny jeans and a grey tank top with her trademark black leather jacket, Harper drove to where she was meeting Kozik and his family.

He looked happy to see her and she two other people beside him, one was a young man with darker blonde hair and around Jax's age while the young girl looked to be Kerrianne's age.

She parked up and smiled warmly at them all as Kozik pulled her into him lovingly and she smiled at him softly as she turned to Tomas and Kendra.

"Kendra and Tomas, this is my Old Lady, Harley Delaney." Kozik proudly and lovingly.

Tomas smiled at her as did Kendra, she had dark blonde hair like Kozik's and his eyes which were soft but protective.

Kendra was beautiful. Harley had to admit, when she'd first seen the tattoo, she'd assumed that Kendra was an old lover. She supposed that was what she got for assuming.

Tomas walked over and gave her a hug, followed by Kendra. "You've made our brother very happy. Thank you for that. Ken hasn't loved anyone since that dog, Missy, that he and Tig shared," Kendra smiled and told Harley.

Looking over at Kozik, Harley smiled back. She had known his first name was Ken. She thought it was cute. "He makes me happy, too. I'm really glad I have your approval. I know that means so much to him, and it means a lot to me because of that," she answered.

"You've already got our approval, someone like you needs to keep Herman here in line." Tomas said smirking as they ordered their food and tucked into the first course which was garlic bread and slices of smoked ham.

"So dad said you're a porn producer?" Kendra asked curiously and Harley looked surprised for a minute but then nodded.

"That's right, I run CaraCara with my co-worker Lyla, my younger twin sister Harper runs and owns a bar." Harley said proudly, she was proud of Harper for following her dreams of opening a New Orleans styled bar.

"The Midnight Bayou?" Tomas asked intrigued and Harley nodded as Kozik squeezed her hand.

"So you know my sisters bar?" Harley asked as she tore a chunk of garlic bread from the stick she had in her hand. Tomas nodded. "We should go tonight. They just got back, and I'm sure she wants a night out. I'm sure some of the others will too. Kendra can hang out with my sister's step-daughter. Kerrianne is about her age," Harley suggested before popping the chunk of garlic bread into her mouth.

Kendra grinned and looked over at Kozik, silently asking him if that was okay. "Yes, that sounds fine," he said and she grinned and thanked him. Harley smiled at the interaction. She realized that Kendra was practically her step-daughter in the same way that Kerrianne was practically Harper's step-daughter, and that made her smile wider.

Tomas nodded. "Yeah, I've been wanting to go there. That sounds like fun," he said excited.

Harley smiled as they finished eating the starter meal and began eating their food that they had ordered which was a smoked rack of ribs and Kendra shared hers with all of them.

The food was so good and for once Harley didn't feel self-conscious as they finished their food and paid the bill, leaving a good tip for their server as they got into their vehicles and drove to Harper's bar then.

Jazz music could be heard and already it was packed even though it was only seven PM but they could hear a piano being played as they entered and looked up to see it was it was a young man, slightly older than Kendra.

Chibs, Harper, Tristen and two men that Harley knew as Harper's best friends from New Orleans and members of the SAMCNO Charter in New Orleans.

Harper smiled at seeing them and Kendra was struck by the strong resemblance, even though Harper had dark brown hair but had hazel eyes.


Kendra wondered if they looked like their mom or their dad. Maybe they each looked like one of their parents, but they did strongly look alike, as well. They weren't identical obviously, but there was no denying they were twins.

Harley introduced Kendra to Harper, Kerrianne, Tristan and Chibs, and then Kendra, Kerrianne and Tristan went off to talk about and ogle hot guys. Harley watched them go with a smile on her face, then looked at her sister. "I can't believe the girls that are pretty much are step-daughters are around the same age," she laughed.

Harper looked at the guys and then nodded, looking back at her sister. "It's kinda awesome though," she said, and she looked at her sister, suddenly realizing that she and Kozik had actually had sex already. She grinned, then looked at the guys again. "So, you guys can go hang out somewhere. We need to talk guys," she said, linking her arm with her sisters and leading Harley away.


When Harper got her sister out of the guys' hearing range, she turned to her. "You totally had sex! Spill!" She demanded.

"We did have sex but...Harp, it was different unlike the others, Kozik he didn't hate my scars or what I looked like without make - up. Kozik loves me for who I am." Harley confided softly and Harper smiled at her then.

"Then I'm happy for you, Harl." Harper said softly as they walked back to where the others were.

"So ya and Harley are a couple?" Chibs asked as he served Kozik and Tomas a beer each while he, Remy, Sawyer and Jasper manned the bar, Remy was the president of the SAMNO Charter and Sawyer and Jasper were his brothers while Maggie was their sister.

Grinning, Kozik took a pull of his beer before responding. "Yeah. We kind of made it official while you guys were gone. You surprisingly missed a lot while you guys were overseas. I'm sure we missed a lot being here, too," he told Chibs.

Nodding, Chibs grabbed his bottle of Scotch that Harper kept on the bottom shelf for him so no one else served it, and poured a shot for himself. "Oh yeah. We'll have to swap stories when the guys go in. I'm sure we'll have plenty of time on our hands. Shouldn't be much to do for the next 14 months," he answered before taking his shot.

Laughing, Kozik tended to agree with him. It was going to be a long 14 months. Tig had told him that he could vote in while they were inside, but he didn't want to do that. "Oh, did you hear? The Sheriffs are taking over Charming PD. Unser is losing his job," he told Chibs.

"Not anymore, he's being kept on as a consultant." Chibs revealed and Kozik nodded as he finished his drink and went to the bathroom as he saw someone sitting down beside him abd Chibs looked up to see who it was.

"I believe you have my granddaughter, Filip." The man stated coldly and Chibs glared then coldly at him.

Aiden Larkin, Fiona's father and a high ranking member of the True IRA as he glared at his ex-father in law.

"Aye and why does it concern ya?" Chibs asked wearily.

"Because I'm taking her home," he replied icily, not even looking at Chibs.

Rolling his eyes, Chibs just shook his head. The man was honestly so arrogant. He thought what he said was law. "She wants to be here right now. She's staying. I'm not making her do anything she wants to do," he replied firmly.

At that moment, Kerrianne walked up. "I'm not going home," she said immediately, knowing why her grandfather was there.

Holding out his arms for a hug, Aiden looked at his granddaughter. "Is that how you greet you granddad?" he asked her.

Knowing that he wouldn't allow her to get away without hugging him, Kerrianne walked forward and gave him a hug. "It's good to see ya, and I love ya, Granddad, but I'm still not going home. Do you know what Mum did?" She responded.

"I do and she was right, your father humiliated her by having an affair with that biker whore after everything she gave up for him and he repays her by sleeping with some whore?!" Aiden spat disgusted as Harper came over then.

"Is there a problem?" She asked pleasantly and Aiden glared at her then, Chibs stood up then calmly as he glanced at the angry man who had never liked him.

"Yes there is, I'm looking for a woman called Harper Delaney as it is urgent that I talk to her." The man stressed.

"I'm Harper Delaney. This is my actually my bar you're standing in. So if you'd like to call me a biker whore again, feel free. Just know that I will call security and have you escorted out," she responded, keeping the pleasant smile on her face.

Kerrianne was surprised at the way Harper had handled herself. She had known Harper had heard, because she, like Chibs, had seen her getting closer as Aiden's voice had gotten louder. Chibs, however, had known how Harper would handle it. With nothing but dignity and politeness of course.

Red in the face, Aiden sputtered a bit, but then regained his composure. He was about to speak, but Harper could tell what he was going to say next. "Also, if you think you're taking Kerrianne out of here against her wishes, you're wrong. I will call the police if you try. Now, if you want to be nice and let Kerrianne make her own decisions, you can stay. If not, you can leave now. Excuse me," she smiled at everyone and went to deal with something at the bar.

Everyone watched her go and Aiden stormed out of the bar then as Chibs shook his head in annoyance.

"Miserable old bastard."

As closing time came, Harper fixed up the accounting and thanked God that Tristen and Kerrianne along with Lyla could fix it up as she said goodbye to Chibs and Kerrianne as she wanted them to have time alone and bond.

She was dead on her feet from the exciting day.


Harley had sent Kozik home so she could spend time with her sister. They both wanted the chance to talk about everything the other one had missed.

They each took their own car home, Harper arriving first because Harley had to stop for gas. It took Harley twenty minutes to get home, and Harper was really worried by the time she heard the car pull in.

Opening the front door when Harley reached it, she noticed the pizza and bottle of wine her sister was carrying. "You could have at least called and told me what you were doing. I was worried," Harper said as she opened the door further and took the wine from Harley's arms.


Enjoy and review :)
