Everything Changes

Chapter Twenty Five

Gemma ran down the corridors till she found the one she was looking for. She had received the panicked phone call from Jax as she was driving back from Piney's cabin. She was on her way to speak to Clay to tell him that she knew about Piney and that she understood and that Tara wasn't going to say anything about the letters to Jax. She wanted to try and prove to Clay that Tara wasn't a threat and he didn't need to hurt her but when she got Jax's call telling her that Tara was in hospital Gemma knew she was too late. Whatever had happened to Tara it had Clay written all over it.

As she reached the bottom of the corridor she saw Jax standing there just as Tara was being wheeled off.

"Are you okay baby?" Gemma reached up to touch her sons face.

"I'm fine."

"Where are they taking her?"

"X-ray." Jax looked over his shoulder at the police men that were waiting for him. "Look I've gotta talk to the cops Mom." He went to turn away but Gemma grabbed his arm pulling him back to her. She needed to hear what exactly happened she needed to know if her fears were true.

"What happened Jackson?"

"Someone attacked Tara. Tried to abduct her. I've gotta go." Gemma dropped her hold on him and watched her son disappear down the hall with the Policemen. She felt sick as it hit her. There was no doubt now that Clay had organised this but what made her feel sick to her stomach was the fact that her grandchildren had been there. They could have gotten caught in the cross fire. But that hadn't seem to cross Clay's mind.

She hadn't been sat in the waiting room for long when Clay and the others arrived. Gemma had been sat there going over things in head trying to rationalise everything but when Gemma looked up to see Clay walking towards her with Nicole close by his side everything became clear and Gemma knew exactly what it was she had to do.

"What happened?" She almost laughed at Clay's question. Like he didn't already know.

"Someone tried to take Tara."

"Oh my god." Gemma reached out for Nicole and pulled her into a hug. She would do anything to get her away from Clay right now. "How bad is it?"

"Bad." Gemma looked directly at Clay when she answered Nicole's question. She tried to catch a reaction from her husband but he was giving nothing away.

"Jesus...We know who did it?" Gemma shook her head. He may be able to lie to her face but Gemma found the lies sticking in her throat.

Clay blew out a breath and looked back at his brothers. They were all in shock but he could see the glint in their eyes. They wanted revenge for this and normally so would he. But this was him and if they pinned this on the Lobos that would mean they would have to speak to Gallindo, and he wasn't sure he liked that. It was their guy who did this, their guy who had fucked up, if his guys went at Gallindo, if Jax did-which he knew would, Jax would want blood for this-it could blow back on him and he couldn't have that. No he was going to have to try and do this alone.

Nicole waited as Jax talked to the others. She knew that Jax was telling them what he knew so that they could plan the retaliation. According to Gemma whoever had done this had done a good job on Tara so Nicole knew that Jax wouldn't be able to rest until whoever was responsible for the hurt caused to his future wife was six feet under. She hated that this was happening to him. Jax didn't deserve any of this and neither did Tara.

"Hey." Nicole looked up at Jax. He looked terrible but it was hardly surprising. Nicole got to her feet and pulled him into a fierce hug.

"I'm so sorry Jay." She whispered before letting him go and settling on to the balls of her feet. "How is she?"

"Her hand got smashed up. She's just gone into surgery."

"Shit. Do you know..."

"This had to be the Lobos. Only thing that makes sense. We're gonna go speak to Laroy see if he can help us out with contacting the them if not then were hitting up Gallindo."

"Your going now." It wasn't a question. "I'll stay here with her."

"Thanks Nic. I'll be back before she's out of surgery."

"Just be safe okay." Jax bent down and kissed her cheek.

"I will."

Clay couldn't believe how the day had turned out. He had prepared himself for the fallout but he had expected the fall out to be because Tara was dead, not that someone had tried to abduct her and smashed her hand up as she escaped. Jax was livid and wanted blood. Clay was just glad that he had managed to talk him off the ledge before he did something stupid. But he knew he wouldn't be able to stop him for long. Romeo had offered up a few Lobos to satisfy Jax's need for revenge and had also given him his money back. But none of that really mattered because Tara was still alive meaning so was the threat and it seemed that Clay wasn't the only one worried about that so was Romeo.

Even though Clay told him that any attempt on Tara now would be to risky Romeo just told him that it didn't matter she was threat not only to Clay but to their deal and he couldn't have that. Clay had to agree. He knew that now more than ever Tara would want to get herself and Jax out of Charming meaning she wouldn't hesitate in telling him about the letters if she thought that it would help get them out. He couldn't allow that to happen.

Bending down he opened the safe and deposited the money Romeo had given him back inside but just as he went to close the safe Gemma walked in. This was the last thing he needed.

"What's the matter changed your mind or get a refund because they didn't kill her." Here we go.

"I don't know what the hell your talkin' about." Clay closed the safe and got to his feet.

"I know Clay...I know you killed Piney and I know you tried to kill Tara."

"Your insane." He walked passed her and headed into the kitchen. Gemma didn't miss the fact that he didn't deny any of her accusations.

"You didn't come home till late last night and all of sudden Piney is dead and I heard you taking money out of that safe this morning. It's a bit of a coincidence that hours later somebody goes after Tara." Gemma ranted as she followed Clay. "She would probably be dead if Jax wasn't with her."

"You need to STOP, NOW" Clay shouted as he turned round to face his wife.

"You didn't know that Jax was going to be with her did ya? Or the boys." Clay turned his back on her again he couldn't listen to this shit. He knew he had fucked up he didn't need reminding. "JESUS CHRIST...those babies could have been hurt." Gemma's voice cracked with emotion at the thought.

"ENOUGH." Clay shouted as he turned and kicked one of the kitchen chairs across the room.

"Maybe Jax needs to know that truth." That was it, she had said to fucking much. He stepped towards her but Gemma stepped back and slid her bag off her shoulder as she pulled a gun on him. Clay stopped dead. "You stay away from me you son of a bitch." Gemma dropped her bag to the floor and held the gun firmly in her hands as she pointed it at her husband. "You stay away from my family."

"Or what. You going to kill me Gemma. Huh...like you did the first Husband?"

"You killed John." Gemma snapped back as she shook her head.

"You're not doing this to me Gemma their my family to. I practically raised Jax and Nicole. I'm not going to let you take them away from me. You played me for a chump, and I was. I was no match for that tight pussy and that broken heart. Maybe I should tell them that truth." Gemma paled at the thought, she knew how manipulative Clay could be and she hated the thought of him getting inside Jax and Nicole's heads, hated that he could turn them against her. And with that fear of losing of her children Gemma pulled the trigger firing a shot that just skimmed passed Clay's head lodging in the wall behind him. As soon as she pulled the trigger she knew she had fucked up and when Clay turned back at her from looking at where the bullet that was meant for his head had landed she could see his rage. Next thing she knew he was coming for her and knocking the gun out of her hand.

Her survival instincts kicked in and she punched him face and tried to make a run for it but Clay recovered quicker than she anticipated and he grabbed her sending her flying onto the large dining table. They struggled, each one trying to land a hit, but it was Gemma who came out on top using her freshly manicured nails to scratch his face giving her space to move from underneath him. Rolling across the table she knocked over another chair slowing her down. Seeing him come for her again Gemma screamed for him to stay away from her as she grabbed some vases off the shelf and started throwing them at him.

She ran for the kitchen hoping that she could make it out of the back door but Clay caught up with her and threw her from the door. She went flying into the kitchen counter sending the plates and cups that were on the draining board crashing to the floor along with herself. She tried to get to her feet but Clay was on her before she could manage it. She had never seen him like this, it was as if he couldn't see her, all he could see was red and as she continued to struggle beneath him Clay raised his hand and Gemma screamed as the back of his hand connected with her face.

Clay didn't stop, he threw punch after punch until his arthritic hands couldn't do any more.

"Hey do you want to say good night to Abel?" Jax looked at Tara but she gave him nothing she just continued to stare up at the ceiling like she had been since she got out of surgery. "Just tell him Mommy's sleepin'. Thank you Neeta." Jax placed his cell back in his pocket and went back to Tara's bedside. "Tell me what I can do for you?"

"Nothing." Tara answered groggily.

"Please...get mad at me Tara, scream at me somethin', anythin'. I know this is all my fault."

"No...It's not Jax. This had to happen." Jax looked at her in utter confusion.

"What are you talkin' about?"

"Fate." She spoke barely above a whisper as she turned to look at him for the first time. "We're supposed to be together right..." Jax nodded. "But you can't leave here."

"I am leaving here. With you." He stated firmly.

"No. The Club won't let you. Gemma, Nicole they won't let you. Charming won't let you." Jax got up from his chair. He hoped that it was just the drugs talking because he hated hearing those words leave her mouth she sounded so broken and it killed him. He came to stand next to her his hand coming to rest just above her head as his fingers ran through her hair.

"Babe your just hurtin' right now. You need to get some sleep."

"The only way I can be with you is if I lose my out. I lost that today babe." Jax shook his head. "I have a dead hand." Tears threatened to fall and Tara closed her eyes in an effort to stop them. "No one will want me now." Her voice started wavering.

"Babe come on don't do this..."

"It's okay because now we can be together. You, me, Gemma your cousin, here in beautiful Charming. One big happy family." Tara finally lost her battle and her tears started falling.

"Tara stop." Jax moved from her side as his own tears started to fall. "Don't do this."

"You should leave now."

"I'm sorry."

"I can't see you..anyone...please just leave."

"Tara..." He tried to touch her but Tara started screaming at him.

"GO...GO...GO..." He didn't want to leave her especially in the state she was currently in but he also didn't want to upset her anymore. So he left.

Drying his eyes he walked into the waiting room where he found Nicole stretched out over two chairs as she slept. She looked so peaceful that he didn't want to wake her. He took a seat next to her and found himself just looking at her. He wondered if Tara's words were true. He had been thinking a lot about Nicole or more about leaving her. It worried him, the thought of leaving her behind, but he knew that he had to leave now, he had to get Tara out of this. Nicole would be okay he would make sure of that but he couldn't let his fears of leaving her cause him any more doubt.

"Ah..hey bro." Jax looked up to see Tig, Bobby, Opie, Chibs and Happy walking towards him. Their voices lowering when they saw Nicole asleep. They all stepped away from her as they continued to talk.

"How's Tara?"

"She's okay." Jax said in answer to Opies question. "She's restin'."

"How are you doin'?" Opie knew Jax better than anyone and right now he could tell his brother was hurting.

"I'm a'right. Where's Clay?" Jax directed the last part to Tig.

"He headed home said he would catch up with you later."

"He met with Romeo he said they were going to track down the Lobos who did this." Bobby added, and Jax could hear the distaste in his voice. This was killing Bobby.

"We find Juice?"

"Yeh. Roosevelt took im in fer nother' piss test." Chibs answered.

"Thanks for bein' here boys."

"Come on." Tig pulled Jax into a hug. "Absolutely brother."

"I'm gonna hang, stay with Tara. You guys should head back."

"We'll leave you a couple of prospects. You need anythin?" Bobby asked. Jax turned back to look at Nicole who was still sleeping.

"She needs to go home she's been here all day." Jax turned to Opie. "Will you follow her back?" Opie nodded. "A'right gimme a minute to wake her up." They all came up and gave him a hug before leaving him and Opie. Jax waited till they were alone till he started to talk again.

"Sit with me?" Opie nodded and took a seat opposite Jax.

"So..."

"I've been lying to you Ope. That deal I made with Clay, bout the Cartel, it was to get me out to."

"Wha..what do you mean?"

"I'm leaving Samcro Ope. I was going to jump when Clay retired. But now...I'm out when we get this deal done with the Irish."

"After my 5 year stretch I wanted out to, but you talked me into to staying." Jax could see the disappointment on his best friends face and he felt bad but he had to do this.

"Yeah I did but I realise now that I shouldn't have. I'm sorry. I love you Ope, your my best friend..."

"I need you in this club." Opie spoke through gritted teeth.

"My family needs me more."

"And what about her?" Both of them turned to look at Nicole who was still asleep. "She needs you man."

"I know, but I have to do this." Jax looked back at Opie. "I need you to look out for her." Opie laughed. He couldn't believe any of what he had just heard. He got to his feet and finally looked away from Nicole back to Jax.

"I'll always look out for her, but she ain't my responsibility she yours. This club is your responsibility and your willing to bail on all of that. I know Tara getting hurt it changes things, messes with your head, trust me brother I know that pain. But you can't abandon everything, and I won't help you." With those words Opie left.

Jax knew that telling Opie wasn't going to be easy but he hadn't expected that. Jax ran his hand over his tired face. He couldn't think about any of this anymore. Turning his attention to Nicole he brushed a piece of her hair from her face as he started to slowly nudge her awake.

He watched as she started to stir, her eyes fluttering open.

"Is Tara okay?" Jax smiled down at her. She was sleepy but he loved how the first words out of her mouth were concern for his girl.

"Yeah she's okay, she's restin'." Nicole rubbed her eyes and sat up, stretching her arms above her head. "You should go home."

"No. I want to stay." He smiled at her again.

"There's nothing that you can do here. You should go home get some rest." She went to argue but Jax raised his hand. "No arguments Nic. Go home."

"You sure?"

"Yeah." Jax stood up and offered a hand to Nicole as he helped her from her seat. "How did everything go today?"

"Romeo and his guys are trying to find the Lobos who did this. We should know more in a couple of days." Nicole nodded before leaning on to her tiptoes and kissing his cheek.

"You sure you're going to be okay?

"Yeah. You be careful driving back okay." Jax knew full well that Opie wouldn't be waiting for her.

"I will." Nicole kissed him again and hugged him tightly before making her way out of the waiting room.

Nicole cut the engine to the truck as she pulled up outside Gemma and Clay's. She rested her head on the steering wheel as she took a deep breath. This day had been a complete shitter of a day and she wished she could just erase it all but she knew that was impossible. Maybe tomorrow would be better, because it couldn't couldn't get any worse. Or so she thought. But as she finally dragged herself out of the truck and towards the house- she headed for the back door as she had forgotten her front door key and there was always a spare under the mat for the back door-she was shocked by what greeted her.

There were smashed plates and cups on the floor and chairs were over turned. On reflex she pulled the 9 mill- Happy had insisted that she keep on her at all times after the night she had spent at his cabin-from her bag and raised it as she cautiously edged deeper into the house.

As she stepped out of the kitchen she saw the glow of a cigarette and could smell the weed. Placing the gun back in her bag she placed it on the table and cautiously made her way over to her Aunt. When her Aunt finally came into view Nicole's breath caught in her throat.

She looked terrible. Her face was covered in bruises and her one cheek was swollen as well as her lip. And as Gemma shifted under her gaze Nicole noticed her one hand fly to her ribs telling her that there was more damage underneath.

"Jesus Gemma..." Nicole knelt in front of her, her hand reaching for her face but Gemma pulled away.

"I'm okay."

"No your not. We need to get you to a hospital."

"No..no..nothings broken." Gemma said as she touched her face winching in pain.

"Gem who did this to you was this the Lobos?" Nicole watched as her Aunt diverted her eyes from hers as she took another drag off her joint. And suddenly it became all to clear to Nicole who had done this.

Nicole had been here herself she knew the signs. The fact that she didn't want to go to a hospital, the fact that she couldn't look at her, and the fact that there wasn't any sons around all those things told Nicole that this wasn't an otusider.

"Clay did this didn't he...Gemma..."

"I can't do this now baby."

"Oh my god..." Nicole got to her feet in temper. She was going to kill him for this, this was not acceptable this wasn't right. He couldn't get away with this. Leaving bruises on her arms was one thing but beating the shit out of his wife, her Aunt, that was not okay.

As soon as Nicole got to her feet Gemma knew what or rather where she was going but that was the last place Gemma wanted Nicole to go. Clay had done this to her and she was afraid of what he would do to her. His threat of revealing that she was the one to blame for JT's death and the fact that he could hurt her scared the shit out of Gemma and she didn't want Nicole anywhere near him. Clay would be handled but not by her. He would be handled by a Son.

"No." Even though her ribs protested Gemma reached out and caught Nicole's hand. "I don't want you going after him. Not tonight." Nicole was torn between her anger and the pleading look on Gemma's face. "Please."

"Okay." Nicole moved back to Gemma and held her hand tightly. "Okay."

Nicole pulled the door closed taking one last look at her Aunt. She had cleaned her up and finally managed to get her to agree to go to bed. From personal experience Nicole knew that Gemma was not going to be able to sleep tonight, partly because of her injures and partly because every time she'd close her eyes she knew that Gemma would be reliving her attack. So Nicole had slipped her a sleeping pill, she knew that mixed with the weed would send her to sleep and Nicole was right because Gemma was passed out. Which was good.

Nicole understood why Gemma didn't want her going after Clay but Nicole couldn't stop herself this was all to close to home for her and she couldn't let him get away with it.

Happy lent against the wall of the clubhouse as he blew out the smoke of his cigarette. Today had been a long day and while his brothers were inside unwinding with a couple of sweetbutts and booze Happy found himself outside alone, trying to clear his head. Everything seemed to be going to shit. The club was divided, the Lobos had taken a strike at the Doc and now Clay had stormed into the clubhouse with scratches on his face ignoring all of them. It was all becoming fucked up and that wasn't even including his growing suspicion of Juice.

He wished that the Cartel vote had gone the other way drugs were ruining everything.

He took the last drag of his cigarette quickly followed by a swig of his beer as he flicked away the butt. He was about to head inside and join his brothers when the sound of screeching tyres caught his attention. From the shadows he watched Nicole slam on the brakes to her truck stopping in the middle of the lot and climbing out storming straight towards the Clubhouse. As she got closer he could tell that she was pissed could see it in her eyes. Whatever she was about to go and do was not going to end well. Stepping out from his hiding place he reached out and caught her arm just before she made it inside.

"Don't touch me..." She screamed as Happy pinned her against the wall. "Get off me..." Happy never said anything as he kept her pinned against the wall. "Get off me Hap or I swear to god..."

"What you gonna do kid...way I see it you either tell me what's got you so worked up or we can just stay out here all night cause there's no way I'm lettin' you go inside like this."

"He beat the shit out of her." She tried to keep her voice firm but she failed. She couldn't stop her voice from shaking as her emotions started coming to the surface.

Shit. That was Happy's first thought. He didn't need any further explanation from Nicole he knew exactly who she was on about. The scratches on Clay's face, Nicole's upset and rage. Clay had beat the shit out of Gemma. Fuck. This was just what the club needed. He looked down at Nicole when he felt her go slack under his hold. She had tears in her eyes but the anger was clearly still there.

"He watched a guy die for doing exactly the same thing to me. How could he do this to her..." She tried to move but Happy wasn't stupid she may have stopped fighting but she wasn't done. She let out a frustrated scream when she realised that he wasn't going to let her go anywhere. "Let me go...I can't let him get away with this...he hurt her..."

"And she's his Old Lady it's their business." He knew she wouldn't like hearing that but it was truth, for him anyway. He couldn't go in there and be all up in Clay's face. What happened between an Old man and his Old Lady was between them he had no right to get involved especially when the couple in question was the President and his wife.

"Your unbelievable...that rule didn't seem to apply when you went after Ryan. None of you could seem to keep your fucking nose out then." It was a pitiful argument but the point was still valid or so she thought but she kind of cowered back when she saw the dark look in Happy's eyes.

Happy hated hearing his name leave her lips and he felt himself push her harder against the wall. She didn't get it, didn't understand what he was trying to say.

"You don't even care do you..." God he wanted to just shake her. She was so wrong.

"You go in there now and kick off Clay is going to lose it. And if he..." For the first time Happy eased his grip on her. "If he lays hands on you I'm gonna have no choice but to get involved and that won't end well for anyone..." Nicole stopped fighting against him and stared up at him. The dark look had gone from his eyes and was replaced with something that Nicole couldn't quite place. "I get your anger Nic I do but this ain't your place. Let Jax deal with this." That was the only solution Happy could think of. This problem wasn't going to go away but it was better that Jax dealt with it rather than her at least it would be a fairer fight.

"Why would he do this Hap..." Her voice was weak and Happy didn't know how to answer her question he didn't know how to reassure her.

"Where are your keys?" Nicole just looked at him blankly, so he tried again. "Keys. I'm gonna take you home." She nodded and handed him the keys that were balled up in her hand. He took the keys and took her elbow leading her over to her truck. She looked out of it as he helped her into passenger side. He really hated seeing her like this.

When they pulled up outside the house he got out the truck and came round the passenger side. She hadn't said a word on the short ride and he was starting to worry, he hadn't seen her like this in a while. And as they walked into the house he understood why she was so worked up. While she went to check on Gemma he took the time to look around and judging by what he saw including the bullet hole in the wall behind him Nicole was right Clay must have really hurt her, and he knew that the state of the place and seeing Gemma all banged probably brought up way too much painful shit for Nicole.

He remembered that day all to clearly as well. He remembered the fear inside him when he saw Nicole knocked out on the floor with that piece of shit on top her, his intentions clear. The scene had shocked him that he fucked up the shot leaving the prick still breathing. He was glad he was the one to finally kill that mother fucker but he would give anything to go back to that day and not fuck up that shot. If he had killed him that day Nicole wouldn't have to go through all that other shit, it would have been over.

His eyes shot up from the destruction on the floor when he heard her come into the kitchen. Her arms were wrapped protectively around herself, she looked so lost.

He stepped over the broken plates and came to stand in front of her. He never said anything and neither did she, they just stared at one another until Happy finally lowered his lips onto hers.

His hand found it's way to the nape of her neck, his fingers tangling in the mass of her light brown hair as he pulled her flush against him. As her hands came to rest on either side of his face Happy wrapped his other arm around her small waist lifting her feet off the ground as he edged them towards the large dining table.

Nicole wrapped her arms around his neck as he sat her on top of the table. It may have been 14 months since she had felt his touch tasted his mouth but Nicole had not forgotten how good it felt. Keeping her mouth on his as their tongues explored one another's she unwrapped her hands from and around his neck and trailed down the front of his shirt. She felt his muscles contract under her touch. Fisting her hand in his shirt she pulled him further between his legs his growing erection pressing against her.

Nicole pouted in disappointment when he pulled his mouth from hers but her disappointment quickly vanished when he his mouth trailed down her neck in open mouth kisses as his hands ran down her body.

"Shit.." She moaned breathlessly as his rough hands edged their way beneath her shirt.

Happy felt his dick get harder as his touched her skin. Her skin was soft supple and his hands seemed to fit perfectly against her every curve, he'd thought about her during his time inside but actually feeling her, feeling her react to his touch was so much better than he ever imagined and he remembered why he had gone back for more.

Continuing his way up her tight body Happy ran his thumbs over the lace that was covering her breasts making her arch into his hands. Wanting to see the tits that felt so fantastic in his hands he pulled her shirt off throwing it across the room as he admired the view in front of him. His dick twitching at the sight of the black lace bra that was making her already incredible tits more fucking incredible and irresistible. His cupped her breast and pulled back the material until her already hard nipple was revealed, he wasted no time in taking her breast in his mouth as he sucked on her nipple.

Her head rolled back on her shoulders her breath catching as his tongue circled her nipple. She ran her hand over his shaved head. Shit he made her feel god but she knew how quickly things were going to move now. She didn't know about him but she had waited for this for far to long, but not here.

"Hap..." She felt the vibration of his moan in her chest but he didn't stop his attack on her breast. "Hap..." Again nothing. Placing both hands on the side of his face she reluctantly pulled his head up. Registering the confusion and anger in his eyes, Nicole kissed him before resting her forehead against his. "Not here...I can't...Not here..."

Happy cleared his throat. He knew exactly why she didn't want to do this here and it fucking pissed him off to know that even though that piece of shit was six feet under he still held some sort of hold over her. He should, he wanted to ignore her and just bend her over the table and fuck her make her forget all about that piece of shit but she didn't need that shit right now. But one day he would make her get over this he would fuck her on every surface in this room until she couldn't even remember that shitheads name.

He brushed his lips against hers as his hands ran up her thighs before he lifted her off the table, her legs wrapping around his waist. Happy had to admit it felt damn good having her wrapped around him.

As soon as he pushed the door shut to her bedroom all hell broke lose.

Nicole fought to undress him as he did the same, their lips landing on any piece of skin they could as their hands explored each others now almost naked bodies.

Happy caught her breast in his mouth again as his hand ran up in the inside of her thigh coming to rest on the material of her black lace panties. Rubbing his hand against the material he could feel her wetness as he looked up at her, he was just in time to see her close her eyes and bite down on her lower lip. He smiled against her skin as he rubbed harder.

"Fuc.." The words died in her mouth as he slid a finger inside her, moving it back and forth before he slid another one inside. "Hap..." As he pumped his fingers in and out of her he started rubbing his thumbing over her clit.

Her mouth was going dry as she tried to gasp for breath. What he was doing was unbelievable right now, and she could feel her orgasm building deep inside her. Grasping at the covers with one hand she used the other to run over his head before running her hand down the side of his face where she pulled his head up. Taking the hint Happy moved up body dropping kisses over her skin before his lips were on hers, his tongue forcing it's way into her mouth. As the kiss deepened his pace got quicker and before she knew it she was cuming.

"Good?" Happy mouthed against her lips. Unable to speak Nicole just nodded, but Happy wasn't done with her yet. And when he felt her hand slide inbetween them reaching for his erection he knew she wasn't done with him.

Returning the favor Nicole wrapped her hand around his length and started gliding her hand up and down. She rolled him onto his back and straddled him as she quickened her pace. Happy let out a low growl. She continued rubbing him until Happy stopped her, bringing her lips back to his.

He could feel himself coming and he wasn't about to spill in her hands.

As he held her head in place kissing her dominantly Nicole could feel herself getting worked up again. Removing one hand from the side of her face she felt it land on her thigh moving up to her ass where he gave it a cheeky squeeze. Nicole giggled into his mouth, her reaction earning her a slap on her butt cheek.

"Kinky..."She whispered pulling her lips from his before returning them to his jaw line where she kissed her way up to his earlobe and back down to his mouth. She felt his fingers slide under the fabric of her panties, the next thing she knew he had ripped them off. "They were my favorite." She told him with a smirk as she pushed herself back from. Both hand resting on his chest.

"I'll buy you a new fucking pair."

"Fair enough." With a shrug of her shoulders she lent forward kissed him quickly on the lips before kissing her way down his tattooed chest. She ran her hand up and down his length again, looking from beneath her ashes straight into his dark eyes. Keeping eye contact Nicole eased him inside of her, gasping as he filled her. She had forgotten how good he felt.

Happy placed his hands on her hips steadying her as she eased him inside her. She was tight so fucking tight that she felt like a vice around him. He watched her bite down on her lip again as she adjusted to him. When she was ready she slowly started to move and Happy could feel her hands on his chest press down harder on him as she started to move quicker.

His fingers gripped he hips harder as she increased the pace. Watching her move above him he realised just how fucking beautiful she was.

Sitting up he wrapped his arm around her waist as his other hand scraped her hair from her face, twisting her hair around his fingers. He stared at her and he felt her slow her pace as she stared back at him. Crashing his lips onto hers he kissed her hard, his arm tightening around her waist. Fuck he wanted her.

Flipping her onto her back Happy started to thrust inside her. The louder she moaned and the more she wriggled beneath him the harder he thrust but it wasn't enough he wanted to get deeper inside. Grabbing her leg he threw it over his shoulder a positioned himself as he drove deeper inside her.

He could feel her walls constricting around him she was close but he was closer, not wanting to leave her unsatisfied his hand reached down between them and he started rubbing her clit.

Nicole dug her nails into his contracting back as she tried to pull him closer. She was close and as he rubbed her harder and thrust deeper she finally let go, his name tumbling from her lips as her whole body shook. Happy smirked and thrust twice more before he unloaded inside her, a throaty curse leaving his mouth as he collapsed on top of her.

Nicole enjoyed the feel of his weight on her. She had missed this, missed him. Liam was good but it seemed that no one could fuck her like Happy could.

Nicole lightly kissed her way from his shoulder to his neck. She smiled against his hot skin when she he growled against neck his tongue licking its way up to her ear. She giggled when he started nibbling on her earlobe.

Happy loved that sound, she sounded so carefree and he liked that. Baring his weight on his forearms his face hovered over hers.

"All good now?" Nicole ran her knuckles over his cheek before leaning up and catching his lips as she kissed him softly.

"Yeah. I'm good." She spoke against his mouth. Happy pressed his lips back to hers. She was like a fucking drug. He growled against her lips before pushing himself from her and lying on his back.

They both lay there in silence as they tried to catch their breath.

Nicole wasn't lying when she said told him she felt better. Happy had managed yet again to make her feel safe, protected like all the bad shit that seemed to be a constant around her at the moment didn't stand a chance against her now, not while he was there and as much as she loved that feeling and wanted to cling to it she knew how this worked. He was going to leave.

Sitting up Nicole went to get off the bed-if he was going to leave she wasn't just going to lay there and watch him go like some pathetic little girl who did know how this shit worked-but as she moved she felt his hand wrap around her wrist. Her head shot over her shoulder but he never said anything instead she just felt him pull her back.

"Get some sleep kid." Nicole nodded and lay back down next to him as he covered them with the sheets. Nicole wasn't sure what he was doing but she wasn't about to question it. Hooking her arm over the sheet she turned on her side and cautiously rested her hand on his chest. She wasn't sure how he would react and was surprised when he snaked an arm around her and pulled her closer to his side. Again she didn't question, she just closed her eyes and enjoyed the closeness.

Happy looked down at her as she drifted off and for the second time in so many days he realised that he was screwed.
