Chapter 17- The Vote
He changed into some black jeans and a black long sleeve t-shirt, with black boots. He put on his kutte and followed her out of the room, is arm around her shoulders.
They walked out to the clubhouse to see everyone else gathered, getting ready for the takedown and saying their goodbyes.
Before they left, she left Noah's arms and squeezed Creed's waist. "Please be careful and don't do anything stupid. I need you in my life" she said kissing his cheek.
"Don't worry princess, I'll be back" he replied.
"You better be. Look out for each other and come back to me, do you hear me?" she asked.
He smiled and kissed the top of her head as Noah came over and laid another kiss on her. "I will see you when I come back okay dollface" he said.
She looked at both of them, all of them with tears in her eyes. "Please be careful, all of you. I don't want to lose any of you" she said to her dad, brothers, Creed, and Noah.
"Don't worry honey, we'll be back" Jax said to his daughter as he left Katie and came over to greet his children.
Katie stood back with Mia, Chloe, and Jules as they watched the boys roll out one after each other, following Jax and Abel as they drove off the lot.
Chloe came over and wrapped her arms around the girls. "Come on girls, let's go inside" she led them into the clubhouse.
Katie and Jules sat over by the bar and made themselves a drink. Katie grabbed her friend's hand and led her to the back to her room.
She needed some girl venting, girl bonding time to take her mind off the worrying that she was going to be doing.
"We'll be in the back ma" she called out to Mia who nodded knowingly at her daughter.
"Okay honey, I'll be here" she replied.
When the girls got into the back, they cuddled into the room and on the bed, just as they would do if they were in school at their apartment.
They each took up a side and cuddled a pillow to their front. Just sitting there in silence, processing the severity of the situation and everything that was about to go down.
After a couple minutes of silence and Jules just staring at Katie, she finally burst because she couldn't take it anymore. She knew her friend was hurting, and she knew she needed to talk about it to make it better.
"So, how do you feel?" she asked Katie as she sipped on her drink.
Katie shrugged, "I really don't know how to feel right now. I mean I was so happy, like really on cloud nine and then BAM" she clapped her hands together for the effect, "it's all gone and everyone I love is out there, their lives in danger" she shook her head, rubbing her hands over her face like she couldn't believe what she was saying.
She sat up straighter and hunched over her pillow, squeezing it to her chest for comfort.
"I am scared that they aren't going to come back, and I am never going to see them again" she confessed with tears running down her face.
Jules scooted up the bed and put her drink down on the nightstand before wrapping her arm around her friend, curling her into a hug.
"They are going to be okay Kat. You know the boys are resilient, they have a game plan. They are going to be okay. Just think about everything that we have been through with Johnny and Danny and they made it through everything okay, so will your dad, brothers, Creed, and Noah. They are all going to be okay. In the meantime, let's drink" she suggested, holding up her wine cooler.
The guys always made the prospect keep a stock when Katie came home from school and even more when her friends came over.
Katie laughed through tears and downed her drink. The girls put the TV on and found a chick-flick to drown their sorrows. Throughout the night, they ventured out to the kitchen to eat again and binge on junk food.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The guys made their way to the abandoned warehouse and stopped in the woods surrounding the house.
The Mayans were already waiting for them in their own SUVs. Ricky got out with his crew. He bumped firsts with Abel and Tommy.
"We are ready when you are. Let's smoke this pendehos for thinking they can engorge on our territory and going after our princess" he stated.
"We have enough men to spread out in teams with your guys. Just let us know where you want us" Louis added after his president.
All the Mayans had the same relationship with Katie. Ricky was in school with her, where they both learned that they had the MC lifestyle in common.
They looked out for each other. The Mayans in the area kept an eye on her as well as Ricky while they were in school.
The kids relationship, becoming friends, is what started the truce between the sons and the Mayans.
"Okay, everyone gets in their positions. Wait for Creed and Cooper to make the first shot before we all move. Mack, Joey, Quinn, you are going left to meet up with Angel and his team. Mike, Ricky, Johnny, and Danny are to get in position around the cabin and wait until we breach. No one goes until Creed and Cooper make the first shot" Abel ordered.
They waited a few minutes while the guys got into position. Abel patted Creed on the shoulder, "give me five minutes to get into position before you make the shot" he whispered.
Creed nodded, "affirmative" he replied getting himself comfortable on the ground.
They all made their way around the cabin using the woods as coverage. After a couple minutes, Creed looked down at his watch and saw that five minutes have passed.
He put his eye through the scope of his sniper rifle and spoke into his radio. "COMMS CHECK" he called out to make sure that everyone was on the radio and their communication was good.
Tommy was out in the truck with his computer watching the screens on his computer, watching the boys in the woods and the truck, waiting for everything to pop off.
"Dexter check" he said into the radio.
"Bossman check" Abel replied.
"Superman Check" Creed called out.
"Whiskey check" Cooper stated.
"Pirate check..." they went through the line of people that were on the radio with them.
Tommy wanted to be able to hear everything that was supposed to go down and make sure they all got out okay.
"Bossman in position, it's your tango Superman" Abel informed Creed that they were all ready once they all checked in.
Creed mentally counted to five, before turning on his laser. "Whiskey, I'll take these two" he pointed with his laser. "You take the other two on the count of three" he ordered.
"On your six Superman" Cooper replied.
Creed counted to five before firing and laying his guys out. Copper followed right behind him with his shots.
"Go" he called through the radio.
He watched the guys each make their way out of the shadows and into the house/cabin. They could hear gunshots and people yelling and screaming.
"Someone find Vega and leave him alive. He's mine" Noah stated through the radio.
"I got him; he's going out the back. Superman, you should be seeing him soon" Pirate said as he ran after the bastard that was after Katie.
Creed adjusted his focus to the backdoor to see that little rat trying to get away. "We are all clear, someone get him" Abel informed everyone from inside.
Creed took a shot, so it landed right in the middle of Antonio's knee. "I got him. He's out back, not going anywhere" he said, watching the man fall to the ground, holding his leg.
It wasn't long after did he see Abel and Noah come running out with Pirate on their heels and surround Vega.
Abel and Noah stood in front of him while Tommy tilted his head back by his hair.
Abel leaned over and got in his face. "I want you to remember my face when Creed sends you to hell. You think you got the better of us, but we always come out on top. We are SAMCRO and we never let assholes like you break us apart" he said before turning him towards the woods.
"This is for my sister. Say hi to the devil for me" he said before nodding.
One single shot rang out and hit Vega between the eyes, just like Creed promised.
Once he was satisfied that Antonio was down, he got out from his hiding place and met the guys by the truck.
"Boomer, blow it to hell" Abel said to the Nomad from New York.
"With pleasure" he left to rig it up with enough C4 to blow up all of Charming.
The guys waited until the cabin went up in flames before getting on their bikes, in the cars, and making their way back to the clubhouse.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Mia was waiting up for the boys to return. She couldn't go to sleep. Every time she closed her eyes, she saw her boys getting hurt.
She was sitting at the bar, nursing a tea when she heard the rumble of her husband's bike. Don't ask her how she knew it was Jax's bike, but she has always been able to pick out his bike over anyone else's.
She ran to the back to see her daughter and Jules asleep side by side. She walked in and shook their shoulders.
"The boys are back" she said, which was enough to have the girls jumping up and running out the dorm room.
Katie and Jules ran out to the front just in time to see the boys pulling onto the lot. She held her breath as they rolled into the lot.
One by one, they took their place in line and parked their bikes. It wasn't until she saw Noah that she took off running.
He barely got off the bike, when he saw his strawberry blonde bombshell running at him. He caught her in his arms with an "OMMPH" from the force.
She clutched onto him tight. "I missed you. Are you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" she asked all at once, pulling away, running her hands down his body.
He laughed, and grabbed her hands, stopping her descent. "I am fine dollface" he said leaning down, resting his forehead against hers as he pressed his lips to hers.
She moaned and immediately opened for him, thrusting her tongue into his mouth to play with his as she wrapped her arms around his neck, delving her fingers in his hair, pulling him closer.
He smiled against her mouth and nipped her bottom lip, sucking it into his mouth as he pressed her closer to him.
"Okay, that's enough sucking face with my sister" Abel came over and patted Noah hard on the back, causing the couple to break apart.
Katie turned and gave each of her brothers a hug before moving to her dad. "I am so glad you are all okay" she said as she made her rounds.
Creed pulled her into his arms, "I kept my promise cupcake" he informed her, kissing her temple.
She smiled up at him, "I love you; do you know that?" she teased.
He laughed, and kissed her temple again, "I should because I love you more" he replied.
"Who you got there Creed?" the New York boys asked.
"This is Cupcake, cupcake, this is Junior and Marvin from New York" he introduced.
Katie blushed bright red at his introduction. "Hi, I'm Katie Teller" she shook their hands.
"Nah, I think I like Cupcake better" Junior stated before he walked into the clubhouse to get changed.
Once the guys were out of sight, she elbowed Creed. "That is your fault" she teased.
He just laughed and pressed another kiss to her temple before leaving her to Noah.
Quinn wrapped an arm around her shoulders and led her into the clubhouse. The new couple froze when they saw Jax and the originals standing there waiting on them.
"We vote in the morning; your dad and the rest of the chapter presidents will be here by 9am" he said.
"Yes sir" Noah replied.
"Dad, please" Katie begged.
"It's the easiest way to deal with this shit honey. Just let the system play out" he said, walking over to kiss the top of her head before wrapping an arm around Mia and going back to their dorm.
Katie sighed, "this is so unfair. I don't want him to take your kutte" she worried her lip.
"Well, we at least know we have two votes in our favor" he said leading her back to his dorm room.
She looked up at him curious from under his arm. "Creed and Tommy" he stated, causing her to nod in understanding.
"I am seriously going to kill my brother if he doesn't vote in our favor" she warned.
Noah chuckled and pressed her closer to him, kissing her forehead. "Don't worry about it dollface. I am going to be with you regardless" he reassured her.
The next morning...
Katie couldn't sleep. She was so wired and worried that the guys were going after his patch. She couldn't let that happen.
Sneaking out from under Noah's arm, she threw on some shorts and a tank top before making her way out of the room and down the hall.
Just like she thought she would, she found her dad on the roof, a notebook and pencil in his hand. Taking a breath to steel herself, she started up the ladder to the roof.
Jax looked up at the noise to see his daughter climbing over the top of the ladder and taking a seat next to him.
"Dad, I love you. I know that you and mom sacrificed a lot for me, Abel and Tommy, that you have been through a lot, but you did a good job. I am going to graduate in a couple years and go to medical school, Tommy is so genius that he is going to MIT before he even finishes high school. You did a good job. But all that is pointless if we aren't happy in our lives. Noah makes me happy. I promise I am not going to forget my education just because I love Noah. I just want the best of both worlds" she said into the quiet.
Jax took everything in and turned to face his daughter. She could see his worry written all over his face. "You aren't going to lose me dad. I am always going to be your little girl" she stated.
Jax wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his side. "I love you honey; I just want what's best for you" he reassured her.
She nodded in understanding. "I know daddy, but he makes me happy" she stated.
"I'll take it into consideration" he teased.
She giggled and rested against her dad's side, taking in the stillness of the morning.
Once they started to hear the clubhouse come to life, they made their way down off the roof.
On their way down, they heard the tell-tale sign of the rest of the Charter Presidents coming through the gate.
Katie stood with her dad as Quinn, Lee, Big-Al, John, and Hondo rolled into the lot and parked their bikes.
They each took their turn giving her a hug in greeting before greeting Jax. "So, my son is causing trouble huh?" Rane Quinn asked.
Katie had to smirk as she looked between her dad and the Nomad President. He was huge, like a mammoth. It was no surprise where Noah got his size from.
"He's trying to poach our princess" Abel stated as he came from inside the clubhouse and wrapped an arm around his sister.
Katie elbowed him in the gut. "Shut up Abel. He is welcome to poach the princess anytime he wants" she replied.
"Jesus Kat, I didn't need to know that shit" Lee stated as he left them and walked into the clubhouse.
Katie laughed at their discomfort, her amusement dying when she saw Santana coming towards her with Hondo.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't little Katie Teller" she snarked.
"How's your hair Santana? It's looking at little blue from here" Katie replied, smirking when Hondo grabbed her around the waist preventing her from launching at Katie.
"Okay, enough you two. Tana, you promised to behave" he said to her.
"Tell her that" she yelled.
"Don't worry about me. Creed and Noah will help keep me occupied" Katie stated. She knew what she was doing.
Sanatana has wanted Creed and Noah for as long as she remembered but got shot down by both the last time, they were all together.
Before she could say anything, both Creed and Noah walked out to greet the group. Creed wrapped his arm around Katie as Noah went to greet his dad.
"Hey pop" he greeted.
"I send you here for a few months and now you want the SAMCRO Princess?" Quinn teased.
"What can I say? I like doing the hard stuff, nothing good in life never came easy" Noah replied.
"Alright, let's get in and do this shit" Abel stated.
Before they walked into Church, Noah stopped in front of Katie, who was wringing her fingers in nervousness.
He cupped her face and pressed a kiss to her lips. "Don't worry, everything will be okay" he said, kissing her again before joining everyone else in Church.
As soon as the doors closed, Katie started pacing.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
"Alright, we all know why we are here. Noah wants to claim my daughter as his Old Lady. Before we take a vote, Noah, say what you have to say" Jax stated from the head of the table with his sons on either side of him.
"I'm deeply in love with your daughter. I am asking you permission to date her properly. I know you don't like me, but before you jump to any conclusions, you have to know that I would never hurt or cheat on Katie. I'll always respect her and give her the life, love, and attention she deserves. She loves me too, and it's important that you're okay with our relationship" he stated.
Everyone looked between him and Jax curious and slightly amused at this situation. They knew this was going to happen when Jax told them Mia was pregnant with a girl.
"You done?" he asked.
"I love her" Noah repeated for good measure.
"If I say no, you still gonna see her?" he asked.
Noah looked down before looking up at his dad who gave him an answer honestly stare. "Yes" he said softly.
Jax nodded, "figured as much" he shook his head with a chuckle.
"I will treat her right" Noah added.
"You're fuckin' right you will" Abel growled.
"If I even catch you looking at another woman, I'll beat your ass. You treat my daughter with the utmost respect, or I'll fuck you over good" it was Jax's turn to growl.
Noah wondered if he had gone completely insane asking Katie to be his Old Lady. With a father like Jax Teller, a brother like Abel, he should've just headed for the hills. But his sweet, loveable was too precious to leave behind.
He actually still couldn't believe that Jax or Abel hadn't kicked his ass yet.
"I'd never disrespect Katie. You know that Jax" he stated.
"You're fuckin' right you won't, 'cause if you do, you'll have me to reckon with" Jax seethed.
"I love her, I am going to treat her right I promise you. I want her to be happy and I am going to do everything in my power to make that happen. If that means you take my patch, then take it, because she is worth it to me" he said, holding his head up high.
Jax looked around the table. "Everyone in favor of Noah claiming my daughter as his Old Lady say aye and keeping his patch" he ordered, looking at everyone.
Noah held his breath and closed his eyes nervously.
"Aye" rang around the room.
He opened his eyes to see his dad smiling at him. He was the first one up and clapping his back in a hug.
"I am proud of you son" he said.
"Thanks dad" he replied before walking over to Jax and shaking his hand. "Thank you Jax, you won't regret this" he reassured him.
"I better not" he replied before walking out of church, stopping when he saw his daughter pacing the length of the common room, looking more stressed than he's ever seen her before.
"Well?" she asked.
Noah walked out and straight up to Katie. He pressed her against him, and placed his hand under her chin, tilting her head back. "You are so fucking beautiful, and you are mine" he said.
She smiled up at him, getting the hidden message, "and you are mine too, don't you forget that" she teased, reaching up and pressing her forehead to his.
"Forever babe" he rasped, then devoured her mouth.
Katie melded into him, loving how their bodies fit so well together.
She clasped her arms firmly around his neck, welcoming his hot tongue as it plunged into her mouth, her body tingling with desire and elation.
She finally had all of him and she was exactly where she wanted to be.
Noah snaked an arm around her waist and lifts her off her feet, pressing her against him further as they ignored the cat calls and cheers from the guys, as he carried her down the hall to his room.
After fumbling with the keys and opening the door, he pressed her back to the wall even as she wrapped her legs around his waist.
He could hear the sound of fabric ripping, but he didn't care because she tilted her head to plunge her tongue inside at a new angle, deepening the kiss, rocking her hips against his cock with desperate motions that mirror his own.
With his hands on her ass, he carried her further into the room and let her down to deposit her on the bed.
She turned on him and pushed him down on the bed, climbing astride as she yanked her tank top over her head.
The room is dark, but a shaft of light slants in through the windows, bathing her in a soft morning glow.
His gaze goes straight to her tits, which are perfect. He loves her breasts. They are his favorite playthings. They're full and round with rosy nipples that are just begging to be sucked.
He cupped the soft flesh in his hands, massaging her breasts as he takes them into his mouth. First the right, then the left, using his tongue to stimulate the tender peaks before biting them gently.
She threw her head back and moaned, arching her back, begging for more. "Noah, please" she tangled her fingers in his hair, holding his head in place.
He moved his kisses, lavishing her collarbone when she starts rolling her hips, creating the kind of friction that's liable to make him go off like a rocket.
He wanted their first time being officially together to be slow and memorable but fuck it. She was ravenous and he was holding on by a thread.
He flipped them over, so she was underneath him. With her hair splayed out around her head, and her full breasts on display, she looks like a fantasy come to life.
He peppers kisses down the column of her neck, across her breasts and over her belly. She strokes the back of her head as he makes his way towards her tiny shorts.
He digs his fingers in the waist of her shorts and pulls them down with her panties in tow. Then he stood at the foot of the bed and pulled off his kutte, placing it on the desk chair, before pulling off his t-shirt and unzips his jeans, pulling them and his boxers off simultaneously.
She smiled up at him as he lowers his mouth to hers. The kiss starts out slow and gentle, but when she opens her mouth and body to him, a silent invitation for more, he loses it.
She spread her thighs and hooks her ankles around his back as he eases into her slowly, until he's seated to the hilt.
"OOOOH" she purred at the sensation.
Noah freezes on top of her. She's so fucking tight it's torture not to move, but he needs to regain some semblance of control. It's not helping when she starts rotating her hips.
"Don't move dollface, give me a minute" he said, pressing his forehead to hers.
She looked up him with hooded eyes, "but it feels good to move" she rotated her hips, skimming her hands over his shoulders and raking her nails down his back, digging them in like she can't get enough of him.
He rolled his hips to match her thrusts, grinning at the moans she is making. "Wanna see how loud you can get, so everyone knows you are getting fucked by your Old Man" he whispered in her ear, causing her to moan out his name.
"Not loud enough" he teased biting down on her lower lip as he went harder. He grabbed her waist and pulled her towards him with every thrust, going in deeper each time.
"Noah" she moaned, "please" she tried to lean towards him, trying to match his pace, but she could tell her was losing it.
"Please what?" he asked.
"Kiss me"
He moved his hands and held her neck as he shoved his tongue inside her mouth. She took the opportunity to moan out loud, almost roaring into his mouth as he thrust his tongue to the pace of his hips.
Picking up the pace, he kept kissing her, still with one arm around her but the other at her neck, came down to her breasts, circling her nipple as he grabbed her hair with his other hand and pulled her head back, leaning down to bite at her pulse point, thowing her over the edge.
"OH, FUCKING HELL, NOAH!" she screamed as she flew over the edge.
She was still coming down from her high when he rested on top of her, stars still clouding his vision from the force of his orgasm.
He turned and kissed inside the crook of her neck, "much better. Now they all know you are mine" he teased.
She couldn't help a tired laugh, "like there was any doubt" she stated as she brought his face up to kiss him lazily.
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
The next morning, she woke up to find Noah already gone. She should be pissed at her dad for sending him on a job after the vote, but she was still flying on cloud nine.
Her entire body was aching as she made her way to the bathroom. After a nice long, hot shower, she changed into some leggings and a t-shirt from Noah before making her way out to the bar.
The guys were all gathered around staring at her, smiling and smirking. She knew what that meant. They had all heard her last night.
Trying to ignore them, she made her way to the kitchen and fixed herself a cup of tea. "What?" she finally caved.
The staring was getting annoying.
"Sleep well?" Creed asked with a smirk.
"Shut up!" she immediately got red and tried to hide behind her tea.
"I think that was the loudest I have ever heard you be Cupcake" he teased.
Before anyone could say anything about what he just said, they all heard, "that was to make sure no one mistakes that she is mine."
Turning towards the door, they saw Noah walking towards her with a vengeance. He was just walking in when he heard Creed.
Creed laughed, "I don't think there is any doubting that now" he teased.
"When the fuck have you heard her?" he growled.
Creed just smirked and winked at Katie before walking off into the back rooms, not answering. He wasn't going to answer, so they all turned to Katie.
She just shrugged, "it was a long time ago" she offered.
Jules smirked, "I knew it. I am so proud of you" she wrapped her arm around her best friend's shoulder.
"That doesn't answer the question of why the hell you were that loud?" they heard.
Katie shrugged again. "It was a celebration for the Vote" she replied like it was no big deal.
