Chapter 6
I am in the office working when Chucky comes in. I walk around the counter and pour another cup of coffee but still don't say anything. "Are you okay?" Chucky asks. "Yeah." I say simply. "You know, I never had any sisters. I had a best friend once. Bought me my hands. But, she's gone now." he tells me. I look at him and smile softly. "I know the feeling Chuck." I say before turning back to the paperwork.
Inside the clubhouse, Hank calls Letti over. "Need your help kid." Hank says. "Whatever you need." she says and he smiles. "I need to show her that I want her here and that I won't change my mind." he tells her. She thinks for a minute and says "She doesn't feel like she belongs to anyone. She said she knows you care about her but that so did her ex. You have to do something he didn't. Something he would never have done." she says. Hank thinks about it for a minute and it hits him. "Angel, you got your kit?" Hank asks. "Yeah Brother." Angel says with a smirk. An hour later, Hank has a bandage on the side of his neck, across his pulsepoint of the name Charley in beautiful script with dogwood blossoms surrounding it.
That afternoon, after work, we close up the office and I am still feeling like I am on edge. I head into the clubhouse and as soon as I walk in, I walk to the bar and the girl behind the bar hands me a beer. "Thanks." I say simply. I feel a pair of arms wrap around me and I lean back into him. "Hey baby." Hank says softly. "Hey." I say before turning to face him and see the bandage on his neck. "Shit baby. What happened?" I ask concerned. Smiling softly, he says "I got some ink done. Wanna see it?" he asks. I nod my head and start to remove the bandage and everyone is watching us closely. I get the bandage removed and see my name with dogwood blossoms on his throat. "Hank? That's my name." I say. "I know baby. I told you. I won't change my mind." he tells me. I look at him and say "Can I get yours?" He kisses me hard and when we separate, he says "Hell yeah." Angel gets his kit back out and puts the Mayan symbol on my left breast with Hank's name across it. As soon as it's done, he kisses me deeply and when we separate, I whisper "Take me to bed Hank."
Picking me up, he carries me to our dorm and as soon as the door is locked, he carries me to the bed and kisses me deeply. We start to shed clothes between kisses before I turn us over so that I am straddling him. He sits up and kisses me softly before whispering "I love you Charley Hastings." I caress his face as a tear falls. "I love you Hank Loza. So much." I whisper back. Kissing me softly, I raise up and slowly lower myself onto his impressive length and we start to slowly make love, finding release after release before he finds his inside me. Laying beside him, he pulls me into his chest and kisses me softly. "Don't ever think I don't want you here. You're mine baby." he tells me. "All yours baby." I say softly and for the first time since he took me in, I feel like I finally found my home.
Waking up the next morning, I'm snuggled into his chest. I lay there thinking about the night before. He loves me. He has my name marked on him. I have his mark on me. The more I think about things the more I realize...he's home. I feel him start to stir and he says "You're thinking to loud mi amor." I look up at him and kiss his lips softly. "What were you thinking about?" he asks. "You." I say and he looks at me concerned. "You're my home. I love you Hank." I say. "Te amo mi amor. Siempre." he whispers before kissing me again and I can't help but smile against his lips.
