SO SORRY for the HUGE delay...i've been busy at my new job and then I got sick...the Doc didn't know what was wrong with me, but apparently a Z-pack is the answer so I'm on day 3 and feeling better...here are the next 2 chapters of my favorite story.

37

"I've never seen two million dollars before." Koz said as he sat on the money in the back of the van, following Ava's Rover and Ben on Happy's bike.

"Aye, it's a shit load of money." Chibs said turning around to look at it.

"Hope we don't get pulled over." Tig said with a grin.

"Hard to explain why three felons have two million in cash." Koz said.

"Think Happy's gonna be okay?" Koz asked. Koz has spent most of the day watching his best friend think that his girl had been taken, it had been an ugly day.

"Don't know, he was pissed." Tig said, shaking his head.

"But she's fine." Koz said.

"But he loves her and love is a fickle thing." Chibs said.

"You think?" Koz asked.

Tig snorted, "Have you seen the way he looks at her? He's got it bad for her."

"Not that he would ever say it." Chibs added.

"Why not?" Koz asked, wanting to know.

"Not his way. He's not all about flowers and poetry and saying 'I love you' every five minutes." Tig said.

"Aye, he shows how he feels. He feels angry, so he kicks someones ass. He feels love, he shows it, doesn't talk about it." Chibs said.

"Flowers and poetry is Jax's area." Tig added with a chuckle.

The guys laughed at that for a while until they followed Happy through the gate at Ava's. Their bikes were all parked there, waiting for them.

Ben parked Happy's bike near the garage and got off, making sure the bike was perfect.

"What do you want me to do?" Ben asked Tig.

"Unload the money, put it in the duffel bags that are in the basement and leave it down there for now."

"I can do that." Ben said.

"I know." Chibs said as he got out of the van.

"Who's gonna help?" Ben asked.

Tig, Chibs and Koz laughed at that question while they walked into the house.

"You guys want to eat dinner sooner or later?" Ava asked, as she kicked off her heels.

"Whatever." Koz said as he grinned at her and headed for the living room.

"Sooner."

"Later." Chibs said, glaring at Tig.

"What? I'm hungry." Tig said, rubbing his stomach.

"Later." Happy said, finishing the conversation.

Ava nodded her head, "I've got some chips Tig, if you want to munch on something."

"Sure princess." Tig said as he left the foyer and went to find Koz.

"I'll get the chips for him." Chibs said, leaving Happy and Ava alone.

Happy took a step closer to Ava and kissed her lips softly, "I'm gonna make sure the prospect doesn't fuck up the money."

"Want me to help?"

He shook his head, "You stay here." the tone told her again that she wasn't allowed to leave.

She nodded her head and watched as he went toward the front door, but he stopped and grabbed her keys to the Maserati and put them in his pocket, the same pocket that held the keys to her Rover.

Ava sighed, she was being 'grounded' by Happy. He hadn't called it that, but he told her that she wasn't allowed to leave the house unless she was with Gemma, Clay or him. She was 'grounded' until they got back from Caymen and then they would 'talk about it'. Ava had no idea what she would do about school if Happy was still upset about the little airplane stunt when they got back, but she would deal with that later. Right now she had to think of something to make for dinner, even if they weren't going to eat for a few hours.

Ava decide to pull out all the stops to try and appease Happy. She started working on his favorite dinner of hers, homemade pizza.

Ava had just finished the dough when she heard the basement door close. She turned around to see a slightly sweaty Happy.

He pulled her against him and possessively kissed her mouth. Her arms snaked around his neck, where she met sweat.

"Yuck you're sweaty." Ava whined with a smile.

"Two million bucks weighs a lot."

"It's gross." Ava said, trying to wipe her forearms off on Happy's shirt.

"You don't like it?" Happy asked, a grin on his lips.

Ava grinned, "Well there is something I've wanted to do to you when your all hot and sweaty."

Happy's eye had gone from their chocolate brown to pitch-black.

"What's that?" he asked, his voice deeper.

She kissed her way up his neck and whispered in his ear.

Happy's eyes widened and he looked down at her in both awe and excitement, "We have a house full of people, you wanna do that shit now?"

Ava gave him a wicked smile, "You'll just have to be quite then."

Ava pulled him upstairs, which wasn't hard to do since Happy was never a man to turn down a blow-job, least of all from Ava. Ava's mouth was something out of this word, the things her mouth did to him were amazing and no woman had ever done them to him, no woman ever made him cum that hard and he was glad of that, because it made what Ava did that much more special and amazing to him, after having been with Ava the thought of a sweet-butt was disgusting.

Ava looked down at a very naked, very blissed out Happy, "You call that being quiet?"

He grinned up at her, "You started it."

She couldn't help the smile, "That I did."

He reached out for her, "My turn."

Ava pulled back, "Oh no you don't."

"Why not?" Happy asked, sitting up.

"Cause I'm never quiet when you make me scream your name."

"I know." He said as a lecherous grin split across his face.

"We can't."

"I like it when you scream me name, you're mine." Happy growled.

"Well I've got to take care of dinner." Ava said.

"It'll wait." He said as he pulled her closer to him.

Happy pulled her on top of him and began kissing up her neck, stopping to hit every 'sweet' spot she had along the way.

"Hap...umm..." Ava tried, she really didn't want to get distracted, but his lips were so convincing.

"What?" he purred.

"Umm...I...the...people...err...dinner." she babbled.

Happy already had her jacket off, he quickly ripped her blouse off and then found her chocolate colored lace bra. He slid the straps down her shoulders and kissed them slowly and sensually.

Ava's eyes were rolling back in her head and Happy' hands were kneading her breasts, tweaking her nipples and then suckling on them, causing her to arch her back and whimper.

"Happy...oh god..."

"Do you want to cum?" Happy growled as he slid his mouth down from her breasts to her stomach.

"Yes!" Ava said loudly.

"Good girl."

Happy continued his quest and his callused hands and skillful mouth pulled the right responses from her to make her whimper, moan, cry-out and then scream his name.

"Ahh...oh Christ!...Happy!" Ava screamed as an orgasm ripped through her body, the slow tremor had grown and grown until she was writhing under Happy's body.

Happy pulled her closer to him, to protect her. When she came, Happy's protective urge was off the charts. She was more beautiful and vulnerable when she came and there was no way in hell Happy was ever going to let someone see her like that or try to take her.

Ava clung to Happy, knowing damn well that there was no way, anyone had missed her performance or his. He kissed her lips and slid his hands up and down her back slowly, savoring the feeling of her skin and how it was like silk.
