We had been searching for HOURS!

When Tara and I got back from watching the sunset we came right back to the clubhouse. My mom was no where in sight but then most of the lot was pretty empty. Tara flew off the bike and into the clubhouse so fast I could have seen her dust if I wasn't one step behind her. She walked into a room with some filing cabinets took out some old books and papers and then rushed to a different room; where we've been sitting for the past 3 hours, looking at different pieces of paper and reading a shit load of things I could barley understand. Who knew bikers could be so articulate with their bi laws.

Sighing as I put another sheet into the growing pile of no information, I look at my girlfriend. It still funny to call her that but it feels right. She's already helped me through so much I can't be anything but grateful that she's mine. This smart, funny beautiful girl is mine.

"Maybe we should call it quits for the night" I suggest as I tug her hand away from the book she's looking through. "If we haven't found anything yet I doubt we're gonna find anything tonight. We've been at this for hours and I'm hungry" as of to accentuate my point my stomach growls.

Tara closes the book she was looking through and smiles at me "You asking me on another date, Teller?"

Smirking, I shake my head "Nope, I just want to get something to eat with my girlfriend"

"Girlfriend" she repeats then crawls towards me till she's right in front of me "I'm your girlfriend" she says it as if she's in awe of it herself.

I nod and lean over to kiss her quickly before standing up. "Yup and as your boyfriend I have certain requirements I need to fulfill"

She laughs and rises with me, throwing her arms around my my neck "And what requirements are those?" Shes asks with a grin.

"Oh you know. I have to make sure your happy, healthy and fed daily. Oh and I can't forget, make sure you always arrive to school on the back of my bike"

"I have my own bike you know?"

I shrug indifferently and she laughs "I would love nothing more to be on the back of your bike every morning and afternoon" she tells me with a smile. I knew she loved her bike and if she ever wanted to ride it to school, I wouldn't stop her but we both knew that she liked riding with me to.

"Good to hear cause I plan on keeping you there for as long as you want to be there"

Her eyes light up and her smile gets wider "What did I tell you about flattery?" I don't get to answer as her lips press against mine.

This doesn't feel like we've known each other for a few weeks this feels like we've known each other for months, Years even, and I love it. Better than I liked being with anyone else or just messing around. Knowing a girl like Tara would be by my side, as long as I didn't fuck shit up, I was happy.

"Jax? Tara?" I heard Opie calling from down the hall. Pulling away slightly to answer him, Tara shakes her head and reattaches her lips to mine. I'm surprised for a split second before I respond and when I do, a little moan slips from her lips. Suddenly I'm not the only one aware of her. The lower half of my body has suddenly come to life. I think she notices because she presses closer to me and I can't help run my hands down her back to grab her ass. I'm rewarded by another small moan that's feather light against my lips.

I know she's not ready for more but that doesn't mean I can't show her how much I want her. Cause Jesus Christ do I want her.

When we hear the door open Tara sighs and pulls away with my bottom lip between her teeth.

"Shit sorry guys" we hear Opie behind us "But I gotta talk to you both"

I look back and nod with a slight smile but turn my attention back to Tara and move my hands to cup her face and kiss her gently before I hug her to me and whisper in her ear "We can pick up later"

"I'm holding you to that" she whispers back before we pull away and turns to face her brother, who's leaning against the door frame watching us with kind eyes.

"I like you Jax and I think you'll be good for my sister. I see the way you guys look at each other and I'm happy she's happy but if you ever hurt her, I'll hurt you" he finishes and I look to Tara who's rolling her eyes but has a smile on her face.

"And then I'll hurt you for hurting my brother" Thomas appears out of no where and looks at Opie with a smirk which makes Opie chuckle.

Wrapping my arm around Tara's shoulder, I look to Opie and nod "I'd never intentionally set out to hurt her, that I can promise"

"Same" Tara says from next to me as she looks at Thomas. Both brothers nod in understanding then walk into the room, closing the door behind them.

"I spoke to dad" Opie announces as he takes a seat on the bed. Thomas joins him but sits on the floor with his back against the bed. Tara walks to the chair in front of them and motions for me to sit down, when I do she joins me, taking her seat on my lap but not in the most intimate way to make our brothers uncomfortable. When she's comfortable enough, Opie looks at all of us and speaks. "If uncle John came back, he would be president once again. Free to do what ever he wants and you guys can join or not join, it'd be up to you"

"It's up to us now. If we don't want to join we can't be forced" Thomas speaks up but he's not making eye contact he's more focused on the joint hes rolling.

"That's true, but with you guys here and with the news circulating some members can challenge my dad, they'll start to look to Clay for answers and Clay can feed them what ever story he wants all because they expect you both to be raised to lead this club one day"

"So even if we get uncle John to come back, dad is out of the chair regardless" Tara points out with a sigh and Opie nods. Shaking her head she looks to Thomas "What did your mom say?"

Thomas searches for his lighter in his pocket, lights up his joint before taking a pull and passing it to Opie. "She explained to me, that Clay had come to her to find us but he didn't anticipate falling for her or her falling for him" he rolls his eyes before continuing "Kept constantly telling me that she thought this would be the right move for us. That we could have the big family we've always wanted"

"What is she talking about? We were fine with us and her" I point out and he nods.

"I know. We've never complained about it. We were fine but she insists that now we're better. Now we have people we can count on, blah blah blah" he finishes as Opie passes the joint to his sister. We're all silent as she takes a couple of pulls then hands it to me. I follow her lead before passing it back to Thomas.

"The Only people we can count on, is in this room. Well all of us and their dad. Mom has always been our rock but even we know she does things with ulterior motives"

Thomas nods thoughtfully. Opie looks at all of us, looking for answers and Tara well she looks at me with a soft smile and then leans in for a tender kiss. When she turns back around she looks at her brother. "What did dad say about us going to Belfast?" She asks.

"Said we'd have to wait till our next vacation time"

"But that's 2 weeks away" she stands up abruptly. "We can't wait that long we have to go this weekend"

"No Tara, we're not jumping ship. We'll wait and have dad help us with getting us there. Then we'll figure it out. All we can do is wait and see if we can find anything, here, that'll help us"

She sighs and I stand up reaching for her belt loop pulling her back to me gently "He's right, Baby. We can wait. It'll be fine"

"Yeah, Besides we've waited this long to find our father. We can wait another 2 weeks" Thomas adds with a nod as he springs to his feet. "I'm going home, I'll see you guys at school tomorrow" he gives Opie a fist bump then walks over to Tara to give her a kiss on her cheek and looks over at me "You coming home tonight?"

Tara turns to me interested in the answer as well. I shrug "Probably, we're gonna get something to eat first, then I need take Tara home. Should be there after."

His lips quirk up in a smirk as he looks between Tara and me "Yeah, Should, is the key word here" he gives me a fist bump and moves toward the door "Can't say id blame you if you didn't though" he turns and winks at Tara.

"Thomas..." Tara warned with a small chuckle. He just shrugs and walks out, Opie behind him.

"Dude that's cool when it's your brother but that's still my sister"

"Well At least they get along" I muse and Tara nods turning to me.

"I don't want to wait 2 weeks" she says getting straight to the point. I open my mouth to speak but she holds her hand up stopping me "I know we have to but I don't WANT to"

"I don't either, but we should. We shouldn't jump into things, we gotta think it through. I don't need to get into more shit than we already are"

She nods and leans up to kiss me "Were going to figure this out"

"We are" I agree "Let's get out of here"

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

Tara's POV

Today is the first day Im going to school as Jax's actual girlfriend. I know people don't care considering my track record but I do. This is different, he is different, we are different.

When Jax dropped me off last night after we ate, I tried to convince him to stay but he refused. He told me he didn't want my father to feel disrespected in his own home or that we were doing anything behind closed doors, even if we weren't and I'm not going to act like that wasn't a HUGE turn on...because it totally was, even if I was disappointed.

So today, I couldn't wait to see him. He's like a drug, one that I was slowly becoming addicted to.

I was up bright and early so I can take my time. I did my morning routine before stepping into the cut off shorts I laid out the night before. I paired it with a white tank top some white sneakers and I tied the flannel -that I stole from Jax last night before he went home- around my waist.

I applied some simple make up and was ready to go by the time I heard Jax's bike pull up outside. Knowing he was here to pick me up, right on time, put the biggest smile on my face, I couldn't wait to see him.

Grabbing my bag I opened my door and made my way downstairs. Opie was already waiting by the door with a knowing grin. "Right on time huh" he teased.

Shaking my head I smile and shrug "I'm in a good mood"

Opie chuckled and opened the door. "Yeah I'll bet" Jax is parked in the drive way leaning against his bike looking like something out of a movie. Jesus, he's good looking. He looks up and smiles when he sees me and I can't do anything but return the gesture.

"Your going to fall in love with this one" Opie says suddenly and my head snaps to him.

"What?"

"Jax. Your going to fall in love with Jax" he repeats and I just stare at him dumbfounded. He's never said that to me before and as much as I want to deny it, as much as I want to shrug it off and joke about how I don't fall in love. One look at Jax has me thinking other wise. "I know" I whisper.

"He is to" he mentions as he closes the door behind us.

That brings a smirk to my face "Oh I know that to" I wink at him and make my way down to Jax, who has his arms open and waiting.

"Good morning, gorgeous" he greets as I step into his embrace.

"Good morning, handsome" leaning back slightly, I run my fingers through his hair and kiss his lips softly.

"And on that note, I'm outta here. See you guys at school" Opie interrupts then gets on his bike. We nod together lips still attached as we hear his bike roar past us.

I seriously can't get enough of him and I have a feeling that he feels the same way. Especially now when his hands are roaming every part of my body, Moving along my curves with precision.

"Are you sure you want to go to school?" I ask him and feel his smirk against my lips.

"And miss the first day at school with you as my girlfriend? That's simply something we cannot miss!" He teases and I smile pulling away so I can climb on his bike.

"We've been dating for weeks, honey, no one is going to be surprised we made it official" I roll my eyes but I'm still smiling.

He smiles as he throws his leg over and I scoot in closer, wrapping my arms around him, my chin resting on his shoulder as he starts up the bike "Oh I don't know about that" he turns his head and kisses my cheek before nipping on the side of my lips "but it'll be real fun making sure everyone knows your mine"

A chill runa down my spine and I shift closer to him. When Mike tried to claim me I hated it, it sounded wrong and ugly but with Jax it was different. He didn't make it sound like he was marking his territory it sounded more like a declaration and I loved it.

He takes both of my hands and tenderly kissed the back of them before securing them back around his waist and pulls off. It's little gestures like that, that makes me swoon and Ii makes me realize just how much trouble I'm in.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

Jax and I get to school early. So instead of rushing in we just wait for the rest of our group to get here. He's leaning against his bike, legs open so I can stand between them. His hands are in the back pocket of my jeans and his lips are working their way up my neck across my jaw before stopping at my ear. "Your so fucking sexy" he whispers. I moan slightly and since my arms are already around his neck I run my hands through his hair and pull slightly so I can bring his lips to mine. He pulls on my bottom lip seductively and then plunges his tongue into my mouth. I allow him all the access he wants and give him just as much as he's giving me. I love kissing him this way. It's sexy and alluering and it leaves me wanting so much more.

"Are you two going to be done dry fucking any time soon?"

My whole body stiffens in Jax's embrace and when I open my eyes I can see the fire in his. He's pissed that we were not only interrupted but interrupted by Mike. He clutches me impossibly closer and I'm not sure if it's because he doesn't want to let me go or he just needs something to do with his hands. I'd say the latter.

"Can we help you?" His voice sounds annoyed and I can't help but smile into his shoulder.

"Not you but Tara. I want to talk to her" Mike seems adamant about it and I sigh as Jax takes his hands out of my pockets and lays them on my hips.

Leaning back I look into Jax's eyes, he's glaring past me at Mike "Hey" I whisper to gain his attention and when I do, his eyes soften.

"Hey" he whispers back.

"I'm yours. Nothing he says to me is going to change that ok?"

He gives me a stiff nod and leans in to kiss me not once but twice then turns me loose. I turn to face Mike, Jax stay leaned against his bike his hands on either side of him, why does he have to look so damn sexy?

I lean against him as I face Mike, mostly to keep him in place so he doesn't lunge but also because I love being near him. His arms are crossed and he looks pissed but mostly shocked. "Thought you guys weren't together?" He accuses and I chuckle.

"What we do isn't your concern" I shrug, I knew he possessive but this is getting ridiculous.

"Can I talk to you in private?"

I can feel Jax tense under me and I get why he would. After all we did play cat and mouse for a while and he wasn't sure who I would choose but now that I made my choice I would never go back on that. He's who I wanted. I just had to make sure he knew that.

"What ever you have to say to me, you can say right here. In front of me" I look straight into his eyes so he can not only hear me he can understand what I'm saying "And my boyfriend"

I look back to see Jax's smirk as he glares at Mike. When he catches my eye and winks at me, I shake my head with a small chuckle. Boys.

Mikes eyes go wide, his face goes red and if this was a cartoon I'm pretty sure we'd be seeing steam coming from his ears.

"All this time and you end up with someone like him?" Jax rises from behind me and places his hands on my hips, but this feels like he's going to attempt to move me if Mike says the wrong thing and I already know, this isn't going to end well. "All your promises to me and to yourself. You break them all to become some biker whore?!"

It happens quickly. As if Jax knew exactly what he was going to say before it left his mouth. He moves me easily to the side and then all I hear is the thwack of Jax's fist as it meets Mikes jaw and he tumbles down, out cold.

My shock doesn't fully register till I see Mike on the floor. Opie and Thomas run over out of no where, to hold Jax back from attacking any further.

"What the fuck, Jax!" Thomas shouts

Jax's nose flares as he looks at his brother "That asshole called her a whore. What? I was just supposed to let it happen?"

Opies eyes flare and he looks to Mike just as we hear him begin to groan and try to get up.

"We should get outta here" Thomas says rushing to his bike, Wendy already seated on it. Jax nods and looks at me.

"Looks like your getting your wish, babe. No school today" he gets on his bike and starts it, handing me my helmet at the same time "Let's get out of here" looking down at Mike I nod and hop on. He's coherent and starting to get up as school Security starts rushing towards us.

"Opie!" I call to him as he's rushing to his bike "The cabin!" I tell him and he nods.

"Wait for me!" I hear Donna yell as she rushes through the crowd and doesn't hesitate to jump on Opie's bike.

Opie leads the way and before we know it we're at the Cabin. Jax offers his hand again and I take it, swing my leg over and take off the helmet once my feet are firmly off the ground. I shake my hair so it isn't flat and watch as Jax gets off. We watch the rest of the group head inside but don't join them yet.

"You coming?" Thomas asks him

Jax nods "In a minute" he waits till Thomas walks inside before turning to me "You ok?" He asks and I look at him confused "You haven't spoken to me since I hit that asshole"

The flash back plays in my head, him next to me one minute and then the next swinging his fist, Mike hitting the floor, Jax's angry face smoothing out when he looked at me.

Him defending me it was very...fucking sexy and had me so turned on, I couldn't say two words to him without wanting to devour him.

"I'm fine, baby" gripping his shirt in my hand I pull him to me and wrap my other arm around his neck "The way you stood up for me?" I graze my lips against his "You knocked him out...for me" I pull his bottom lip between my teeth "That was so sexy"

I can feel his whole body relax as he wraps his arms around me "Oh so you like it when people knock someone out for you" he stats as he chuckles.

I shake my head and try to get as close to him as humanly possible, damn I have it bad. "Not people, just one person" I kiss my way up his jaw to his ear and whisper "Just you. Your incredibly sexy, Jackson. Especially when your protecting what's yours" I nibble on his ear lobe then run my tongue along the shell of his ear and watch with satisfaction as goosebumps appear along his neck.

"Baby, if you don't stop, im going to drag you inside that cabin and do things to you I don't think your ready for"

Smirking I step back and take his hand. "Who says I'm not ready for it?"

He raises his eyebrow and his jaw slackens. My eyes roam his impressive physic and stop at the tent in his jeans and knowing that I did that makes me tingly all over and needing a new pair of underwear.

"Tara" The huskiness in his voice has my eyes shooting to his. His heated glaze has me biting my lip and thinking of so many creative ways to relieve the pressure we're both feeling.

"Jackson" my voice is a needy whisper and it's all the confirmation he needs to crash his lips to mine. His hands run down my back to grip my ass as he hoists me up, gasping I wrap my legs around him as he moves us up the the stairs and sits me on the railing of the cabin porch. I keep my legs wrapped around him and bring him closer. He lets out a loud groan when I grind my hips into his and the sound alone has me wanting more than I have ever wanted with anyone else.

Running my hands down his chest I lift his shirt and explore the lean muscle that's now all mine and the fact that I love it. Love that he's all mine for me to touch when ever I want to, makes me wonder if he's who I've been waiting for all along.

Our hungry kisses turn sloppy as we find new ways to drive each other crazy. This kind of chemistry is explosive and that's exactly how I feel. Like I'm going to explode every time he shows me this kind of attention. I want to explore so much more of him but I don't want to do it with a cabin full of our brothers and friends.

With all the reluctance in the world I pull my lips from his. "Babe..." I pant as I try to catch my breath but it seems to spur him on as he lifts the back of my tank top and runs his hands across my bare skin, his lips meet my neck and my head falls to the side giving him all the access he needs. He's every where and it's euphoric. Fuck it, who am I to tell him to stop when it all feels so damn good.

"Are you guys comin-" in my heated haze I barley recognize Donnas voice. "Never mind" I can picture the smirk she's wearing and hear the click of the door and just like that the spells broken.

Jax leans his head on my chest as he catches his breath and I run my hand through his hair as I catch mine. Once his breathing is under control he looks up at me, smirk firmly in place. "Sorry, I got carried away"

I scoff with a smirk of my own "Trust me I'm not" my gaze travels the length of him once more and stops at the incredibly bigger tent in his jeans, my eyes widen, there is no way a teenage boy can be that big. When my eyes travel north again his eyes are twinkling with mischief. "All yours when ever you want it" he winks and I shake my head with a smile.

Pushing him back I jump from the railing and tease "Looks like someone needs a cold shower"

He's scoff "Yeah, or 8" he shakes his head but then smiles as he takes my hand "Let's get inside, Vixen"
