Author's Notes

Hey readers, hope you're enjoying the fic. My updates will be a bit slow after today because I plan to work more this week and won't have time to update. Next week though things should even out and I'll be able to update more.

18

My room is lit up by light. When did I even fall asleep? I had no idea. Luckily for my clock on my nightstand I saw that it was ten in the morning. I heard the shower running in the bathroom, and my body began to tense some. But I saw the was open and I was staring at Happy's back. His tattoos stared back at me and in my sleepy state, made my eyes go cross eyed trying to clearly view them.

He was real. This wasn't a dream. He was brushing his teeth and I exhaled some trying to wake my entire body up. I sat up and was happy that the pain was very little. As I stared at Happy, I couldn't stop the gentle throbbing that began to grow inside me. I moved from the bed and gently walked across the room and into the bathroom. I raised my hands and let them press against his back before leaning into him.

I gave a gentle groan as I inhaled his scent and the feel of his flesh made me feel warm inside.

"Well good morning. Hope you slept okay?" he asked. I wasn't listening like I should have been. I ran my fingers over his stomach lightly before moving my hips gently against his butt. I needed him and I needed him now. My hands moved further south lightly moving over his crotch inches from his boxers, not touching, but teasing. He had just spit out his toothpaste and wiped his mouth glancing back at me.

"Babe… I thought we were waiting." he said lowly and I just kissed the small of his back before leaning up to his ear.

"Would you deny me your cock inside me?" I whispered lightly tugging on the shell of his ear. He immediately turned and faced me and before I knew it, I was lifted in his arms and he walked me back into my room and lied me back on my bed lying on top of me. His weight didn't really hurt this time, although I was sure he wasn't using his full weight. I wrapped my arms around him as our lips met each other fiercely.

I could feel the desperateness of his lips. He missed this just as much as I missed this. There was no time for foreplay as I tore his boxers down. He raised my tank over my head and threw it off into oblivion and he quickly got my shorts down. He forces my legs apart and thrusts right into me. We both groan out as he starts to thrust into me hard and without restraint. I hold him close to me ignoring any pain that starts to brew inside me. The pleasure kicked its ass, that much I could feel. I panted and moaned as I felt every inch of him reclaim the territory inside me. He growled and grunted as he held me down and moved even faster. In a quick movement, I was on top of him, my aching hip moving front and back like a machine.

My eyes fluttered closed as Happy held my hips hard. It's so easy to get lost in the moments of lust and love. I didn't care about anything at this moment which was dangerous. Anything could happen. My walls tightened up fast as I came hard. He came seconds later followed by a hard growl.

"Oh fuck." he replied panting heavily as I moved off him. He didn't let me go far though as he pulled me under his arm and pulled the blankets over us. He stared up at the ceiling and just lied on his chest and did my best to calm my breathing. I would be feeling this fairly soon.

"You know all I have to do today is get a phone and a car." I replied glancing up at him. "You don't have to come with me to do this."

"You're not getting rid of me that easily." he said. I shrugged lightly.

"I just don't want you to feel like you have to baby sit me is all. I'm sure there's some life risking thing that you would want to be getting into right now." he shook his head smiling some.

"That's going to come regardless of where I'm at." he said. It was settled, I wasn't getting rid of him today. I suddenly heard the doorbell ring and Happy and I both lifted our heads in alert before looking at each other.

"You expecting anyone?" he asked. I shook my head.

"No you?" I asked and he shook his head moving from the bed quickly and grabbing his gun off the other night stand. I got up from the bed too moving to my closet to grab my red and black kimono robe and pulled it around me. We moved down the hall quietly with Happy leading. He didn't even care that he was naked. He was ready to kill.

Once we were at the door, he looked through the peep hole and suddenly growled with annoyance moving back and frowning some.

"What?" I whispered. He just motioned his head at the door and I finally looked myself. I was stunned to see who it was. I looked back at Happy.

"Put that away please." I replied motioning at his gun before moving to open the door. "Mark, hello." Mark was standing there, in a blue polo and jeans. His face lit up as he saw me.

"Hey. I heard what happened to you and just wanted to check on you. All of us, the other staff. They gave me a ton of stuff to send to you, the kids made cards for you…" his voice trailed off as his eyes moved past me. I glanced over my shoulder to see Happy just standing there still naked, eyes glaring at Mark. I looked back at Mark trying my best to shield him from all of Happy's body.

"Thank you. It's been a tough couple of days. Um, this is Happy Lowman my boyfriend. Babe this is Mark my coworker." I introduced and Happy just continued to stare.

"Little early to be around here don't you think? Shouldn't you be at the school?" he questioned and Mark nodded, his eyes showing how uncomfortable he was.

"Yeah I should. But I got volunteered by Principal Locklear to give you the gifts. She's watching my class for me." he said. I smiled unaware that my coworkers would send me anything. I looked at Happy now mouthing for him to go get dressed. I stepped outside and closed the door behind me.

"I'll help you get the stuff." I replied. I knew Happy didn't want Mark around, but I would not have my naked boyfriend making a scene. Everything was gift wrapped. Once we got everything inside the kitchen, I just smiled and walked Mark to the door.

"Thank you, Mark. I really appreciate all of this." I replied and he nodded.

"It's no problem. Do you know when you're coming back?" he asked. I shrugged.

"I'm hoping next week." I replied and he nodded glancing over my shoulder at Happy who just continued to glare from the kitchen while he played with one of my butcher's knives. Mark just nodded.

"Alright. Well can't wait to have you back. Take care." he said and I nodded and closed the door behind him. I moved into the living room to watch and make sure he got back into his car. Happy moved up behind me, wrapping his arms around my hips with the knife still in his hand.

"I don't trust him." he said lowly. I slowly nodded.

"Yeah, neither do I." I replied. At this point, I didn't trust anyone who wasn't a club member or Tara.

After I made us breakfast, we got in Happy's car and took off. We got me a new phone first which was easy except Happy was trying to argue with me in who was going to buy it. I couldn't believe he wanted to, because I didn't need his help buying anything. But he was stubborn and wouldn't let it go so I let him pay. That entire day was an adventure in itself. He thought I should get a super-fast car or an expensive car. I managed to get the same car I had earlier just a bit newer though. A few days past and I was officially allowed to go back to work this Monday. I looked forward to seeing my children again, to seeing if they missed me or were ready to work even harder now that I was back.

But what I had looked forward to the most was the dinner at Clay's dinner. I was stunned to have gotten back here alive in order to make it here. Happy and I walked in and everyone greeted me like I was the cool cousin who had been away for too long and you just knew it was going to be a great party because I was here. It felt good to be welcomed back. I stuck with Tara as Happy was with Clay and the other members. Gemma moved over to me giving me a warm smile, wrapping her arms around me.

"I'm so happy you're safe." she replied and I smiled noticing Tara just kept smiling.

"I'm glad to be back here." I replied. We ate at the dinner table and Clay made a toast to me being back.

"To Meera, a woman who you'd want in your car any day to drive you off the road in order to save your life!" he said and I laughed as everyone agreed. As everyone talked and laughed and joked like we were one big family. And as I looked at their joyous faces, I couldn't help but wonder how long this will last? How long will it be before someone grabs me again? Empty promises of protect for me, but it never happened. I guess we will have to wait and see.

Monday

I walked into the school watching as the children passed the hallways. I was back in my comfort zone. I missed my desk and my white board and all the straight rows of desks. As fist period came in they all happily saw me and ran to embrace me as I got up from my desk. I got this response in each class. Their get-well cards to me made me bawl like a baby. I was just glad to be alive. As fourth period rolled around and I took attendance, I noticed Duke wasn't here. Was he sick? Was something wrong at home?

"Has anyone seen Duke?" I asked and Mason, a boy who sat at the front of my class raised his hand and I looked at him.

"He hasn't been to school since your accident." he said. I nodded wondering if Judith had maybe fled with her children to get away from AJ since he had gone missing. Maybe she saw this as her chance to escape. Once the day was over, I let the last student leave before closing my door and locking it. I would have no surprises. As I sat back down at my desk and looked at the lesson plan for the week, I begin to feel my heart race. I groaned gently feeling panic take over me and I looked around thinking I saw someone out of the corner of my eyes, but there was no one there. My breathing quickened a bit before I just swallowed and looked around. What was going on here?

Obviously I was having some type of PTSD from everything that happened. I took some breaths and finally left for the day. Happy was home waiting for me. Since he couldn't sit in the class with me like he was aggressively planning to do, he would be at the garage tending to business and I would text him when I had the time.

"Any sign of Weston?" I asked as I placed my bag down on the bottom step. Happy was frying up some steak.

"Nah. None of his dope houses have gone back up either. Even Zobelle's got some hack watching his store. Something's going on with those Aryan fucks. I just don't know what. They've disappeared from the face of the earth." he explained.

"You think they've just given up and left?" I asked and he shook his head.

"Not by a long shot. I see some of those skin heads wandering around though. They weren't at the school though, I had some of our boys watch your car and class room making sure no one bothered you." he said. I smiled at his words and nodded.

"Thank you." I replied and he just smirked at me before continuing to cook his food. But this was all very strange even if I didn't know how gang members think. Maybe they're planning something else.

Normal POV

AJ Weston wasn't ever one to let anyone get the jump on him, but somehow it happened. He was weak from his wounds after the car crash with the school teacher. He managed to steal a car and head back to Charming and contact Zobelle but before he could even drive a few feet away from the payphone, his car was smashed into again.

And here he sat in a car, legs chained to the ground and hands cuffed together. His mouth was gagged and he only saw darkness around him. But someone removed the sack from over his head and he blinked a bit groaning some. He didn't even have time to register how injured he was or even where he was, because of the three chairs sitting across from him. His eyes widened and he muffled a bit against his gag. His wife Judith and two sons were sitting, chained to a chair a well. Brown sacks over their heads. Judith was seated between Duke and Cliff. They were all yelling through their gags from fear. He may have hated the world around him, but his family was still his concern. He muffled out Judith's name trying to free himself from his chains, but he screamed in pain. His body ached as he realized how badly injured he was.

'What the fuck was going on?' he asked himself. Who had the balls to take him and his family. It had to be Clay and his gang of colored animals.

There were footsteps coming from his right and AJ looked to see a man in a grey suit coming towards the middle of the room. He was pale with slick grey hair and pale eyes. He was business like, like Zobelle. AJ took this second to look around to see he was in a large warehouse. Where though, he did not know. The man stopped in the middle of the room and looked at the screaming woman and her children. Hate and rage lit themselves in AJ's eyes as he yelled through his gag. The man looked at him now, unreadable eyes were unpredictable eyes. He slowly walked up to AJ stopping a few feet from him. AJ just stared up at him with disgust.

"You know, a man who spends his entire life hating people become spoiled meat. You taste quite atrocious." the man finally said. AJ just spewed something out through his gag of which the man knew he would not understand. "But meat salted using fear, makes for an enjoyable meal."

Now the man inhaled calmly as he watched AJ continue to muffle something through his gag. So the man looked up and behind AJ before nodding. Another figure removed the gag and AJ groaned some.

"You have no idea who you're fucking with you white trash piece of shit!" he said. The man just looked up almost bored of his words and he nodded as the other figure gagged him again.

"Mr. Weston… you do not know me, but after I am finished with you, you are going to remember my face for quite some time." The man slowly walked around AJ patting his shoulder of which AJ immediately tried to jerk away from.

"So what's the next plan?" the figure asked after he placed the bag back over AJ's head and followed the man in the suit who curled his fingers together.

"Only the best plan we have… It's time for a family reunion. Invite all our guests of honor." he said darkly as the two left the building.
