Chapter 4
A few minutes later, I hear a couple of bikes pull up and then a knock on the door. "Who is it?" I asked. "It's me baby. Open the door." he says. I slowly open the door and he takes one look at my throat and pulls me to him. "What happened?" he asked, still holding me close. I wrap my arms around him and start crying. He picks me up and carries me to the couch. Sitting me down, he's next to me and he wipes my tears and says, "Baby, this is Chibs. He's gonna check you out okay? Make sure you are okay." he says and I nod. While Chibs is looking at my throat he asked "Is there anywhere else you're hurt Lass?" I say "My back." I turn around and he lifts my shirt and says "It's already bruising but doesn't feel like anything is hurt too bad." I look back at Juice and he pulls me closer and asks "What happened?" I look down at my hands and say "My ex showed up as I was getting off work telling me he wanted me back and when I said no, he slammed me against my car and grabbed my throat and told me to rethink my decision." I say. "Baby, he won't touch you again." he says. "I'm sorry this is how we had to meet." I tell him. Chibs says "You two have never met?" We shake our heads no. "He called my phone because some chick gave him my number thinking it was a fake number." I say. "Best wrong number ever." he says trying to make me smile. Then I see it. "You didn't tell me you were a SON." I say. "Oh. Well…" he starts and I cut him off. "Doesn't change anything." I say. He smiles softly and tells me, "No one will ever hurt you again. I promise." he says before pulling me into his arms. Chibs looks at us and says "Boy, stay with your girl tonight and we'll handle that prick in the daylight." Juice nods and Chibs heads out.
Once Chibs is gone, I see him look at me. "Juice, you don't have to…" I start. "I'm not going anywhere. You are absolutely beautiful." he says before kissing my lips softly. I blush a little. "So you still want to be with me?" I asked. "Yeah baby. I do." he says before I snuggle into his side. I move wrong and feel how sore I'm getting. I start yawning and I ask "You wanna sleep in my room with me?" I asked shyly. "Yeah." he says smiling. We walk into my room and he strips down to his boxer briefs. Seeing his body for the first time, my breath catches. "You okay sweetheart?" he asked as he climbs into bed. "Uh, yeah." I say. We lay down and he pulls me close. I lay my head on his chest and we lay there silent for a few minutes before he speaks. "When I find him, I'm going to make sure he never touches what's mine again." I lean up and look at him for a minute before kissing him softly and snuggling closer.
Waking up the next morning, I called my boss and told her I wouldn't be there. Juice is sitting in the living room with me, drinking coffee when there's a knock at the door. He answers it and in walks Chibs and two other men I have never seen, all in kuttes just like his. "Baby, you know Chibs but this is Tig and this is Happy. Guys, this is my girlfriend, Rita." he says I wave shyly and softly say hello. "Wow. We thought you were making her up. How come you never bring her around?" Tig asked. "Because these two love birds hadn't met face to face before last night." Chibs says and Tig and Happy look at us shocked. "I gotta hear this." Tig says. "He called my number one night. Girl gave him a fake number and it ended up being mine. We started talking and hit it off." I tell them and they just smirk at us. "Well, you did good Juicy Boy." Happy says. "Now, tell us what happened and what we need to know about this prick." Tig says. "His name is Jason Thompson. We started dating just after I moved here and he was never physically abusive but he would say things like that I was fat and no one else would want me. Stupid shit like that to keep me down. I broke things off with him when I found out he was cheating on me. That was almost a year ago. I stopped answering his calls and texts and he showed up at my work yesterday telling me he wanted me back. I told him no, not only because I'm with Juice but because I don't want to go through that again. He slammed me into my car and grabbed me by the throat and said that he didn't like my answer and that he would see me soon and my answer better be different." I tell them. "Do you know where we can find him?" Happy asked. "No but Juice, you said something about pinging my phone. Can you ping his?" I asked. "Yeah." he says. I get up and write down his phone number and anything else I can think of that might help find him. "Here's a picture of him so you know who you're looking for." I tell Juice. "I'm putting the Prospect with you today. Don't leave the house until I come back for you." he tells me. "Okay. I need to call Kara." I tell him. "Tell her to take the day and come stay too. Just incase he tries to get to you through her." Tig says. "Yeah. Okay." I say. A few minutes later, the Prospect walks in and Happy heads for the door. Tig walks over and says "We got you Doll." I smile at him and nod. Chibs walks over and says "Welcome to the family Lass." I smile and say "Thanks Chibs." Juice walks over and kisses me softly before saying "I'll be back soon." I nod before saying "Be safe." He kisses me again before walking out the door. Looking at the prospect, I hear him say "Protect her." Prospect says "With my life brother."
I pick up my phone and call Kara. "Hey girlie. What's up?" she asked. "Hey Kara. I need you to call in today and come to my house. Something's happened." I tell her. "Are you okay?" she asked. "I will be but I need you here. I'll explain everything when you get here." I tell her. "Yeah, I'll take a personal day and be there in a few." Fifteen minutes later, Kara walks in and sees the prospect sitting there. "Why do you have a SON sitting in your living room?" she asked and then sees my throat. "Sit down. I'll explain." I say. She sits and I start talking. "Jason attacked me outside of work yesterday wanting me back. I told him no. Juice called and noticed something was wrong and came over. He's a SON. He had a couple of his brothers come over this morning to handle Jason. Half Sack here is staying with us until Juice comes back." I say. "You finally met him?" she asked smiling. "Yeah. But I'll tell you about that in a minute. Juice wanted you here incase Jason tried to get to me through you before they could find him." I tell her. "Yeah. Okay. I get it. So we stay here until, what, they come for us?" she asked. "Yeah." I say. "I won't let anything happen to you two." Sack says as he checks the windows and doors again.
Kara and I move to the kitchen to talk. I took Sack another cup of coffee and he's still standing watch. "So, what's he look like?" she asked. "He's insanely hot. He is tan with this amazing smile. He has a mohawk with tribal tattoos on each side." I tell her. "So, did you sleep with him?" she asked. "No, Kara, we didn't have sex but he did sleep in the bed with me and it was really nice. He held me all night. All that time I was worried that he wouldn't want me once he saw me, and he told me he still wants to be with me." I tell her.
***Juice POV***
"I found him." I tell the guys. We head out the door to the address I found and see him as he's walking out the door. We walk up to him. "Morning Jason." I say. "Do I know you?" he asked, seeing our kuttes. "No but you will." I say. He goes to run and Happy grabs him. We put him in the van and head to the warehouse. We get him inside and tie him to the chair. Happy lays out his bag of tools and says "All yours brother." Him, Chibs and Tig stand back and let me take care of the piece of shit that hurt my girl. "What do you want?" Jason asked. "Shut up. I know you're the one that put your hands on Rita." I tell him. "What's she got to do with this?" he asked. "See, you not only threatened but put you hands on my Old Lady. You know what happens to people that touch my Old Lady?" Juice asked and Jason's eyes go wide. "That's right. They fucking die." he seethes, getting into Jason's face. "You will never touch what's mine again.
After torturing him, Happy says "Proud of you brother. Go to your girl. We'll take care of this." I nod and head out the door. Tig stops me. "You know you called her your Old Lady. You sure about that?" he asked. "Hell yeah." I say before heading to Rita's.
***Rita's POV***
Kara and I are still sitting in the kitchen talking when the front door opens. "Head out prospect." I hear Juice say before I run into the living room. I don't run right to him, but he walks over to me and pulls me close. Whispering in my ear he says "He's gone." I look him in the eyes and realize what he just said. I kiss his lips softly and whisper "Thank you Juan Carlos." He smile at me before kissing me again. We hear someone behind us clear their throats. Pulling away slightly, I take his hand and turn to Kara. "Juice, this is my best friend Kara. Kara, this is my boyfriend, Juice." They shake hands and he says "I hear you were the one telling her to keep talking to me. Thanks for that." She smiles and says "Just taking care of our girl. She needs someone that's gonna love her like she deserves." Juice looks at me and says "I'll make sure of it." You two ready to head to the clubhouse to meet the rest of the family?" he asked. "Are you sure?" I asked. "You're my Old Lady. I'm sure." he says and I look at him wide eyed while Kara just smiles.
