Chapter 7
After work, Opie and I move all his things into my dorm. We are putting up the last of his things when there was a knock on the door. Opie opens the door to see Jax standing there. "Can I get a minute with your girl?" he asked Opie. Ope kisses me softly and says "I'll be out at the bar." I nod and he leaves, closing the door behind him. "You doing okay?" he asked. "I'm better. Not where I need to be but getting there. Thanks for everything Jax." I say. He pulls me into a hug and says "You are like a sister to me but anyone hurts you, you tell us. SON or not. You hear me?" he asked seriously. "Okay." I say as we pull apart. "So, you and Ope?" he asked with a smirk. "Yeah. Me and Ope." I say. "You know he's had a thing for you for a while." he says and I looked at him shocked. "You didn't know?" he asked. "No. I didn't." I say. "Well, you do now. He really cares about you." he tells me. "I know. I care about him too. I told him I want to be with him but I wanted to take things slow and he's okay with that." I tell Jax. "Well, he'll take care of you but Rosie, you need to know something. He doesn't love easy. Be good to him." Jax says. "I will." I assure him before we walk out to the main room.
Walking up to the bar, I walk up next to Opie and he pulls me into his side. Kissing the top of my head, he asks "You okay?" I smile up at him and say "Yeah. I'm okay." He leans down and kisses my lips softly before going back to his conversation with Bobby. I look at Bobby and see him smiling softly at me and Opie. Opie gets called over to Clay, leaving me and Bobby standing there. "How you holding up Sweetheart?" he asked. "I'm better." I tell him. He sees me look over at Opie and says "You know, when we were planning what we were going to do to Kyle, Opie laid claim on you right there in front of us. He cares a lot about you Sweetheart. We all do but that man? You? That's some good in this fucked up life. Take care of each other." he tells me before kissing my cheek and walking over to Clay and Opie. I look at Opie and see him looking over at me. He arches his brow, like asking if I am okay and I nod that I'm fine. He holds out his hand, and I walk over to him and take it just to be pulled into his side where I feel safe.
That night was one of SAMCRO's Friday night parties. Opie and Jax are playing pool while Tara and I are sitting on one of the couches. Opie hasn't let me out of his sight since the party started. Knowing that this is the first party that I have been to since my rape, he's keeping me close. "I'm heading to get another beer. You need another?" I asked. "Yeah babe. Thanks." he says before kissing me softly. I walk over to the bar and while waiting on one of the beers, one of the hang arounds that I can't stand, walks over. "Hey Rosie. Wanna come outside and get some air with me?" he asked. "No thanks." I say. "Come on. You can't even give me a chance?" he asked. "I'm not interested. Go find a croweater." I tell him. "I don't want a croweater. Come on. Hang out with me." he asked again. "No thanks." I say. Before the prospect can hand me our beers, the guy grabs my wrist and is immediately pulled away. "You put your hands on my girl again, I'll snap it the fuck off." Opie tells him. "I didn't know she was yours man. She's not got a crow." the guy tells him. "You fucking know now." Opie seethes and the guys takes off outside. He turns to me and asks "You okay babe?" I smile up at him and say "Yeah. I'm okay." He pulls me to him and I say "You know that was kinda hot." He laughs and says "Well, good to know."
After a little while, we head to our dorm. I lay there in his arms thinking. I can't let Kyle continue to run my life. I need to take my life back. Looking up at Opie, I smile. Sitting up, I straddle him. Kissing him softly, I deepen the kiss. Pulling back from me he says "We don't have to do this." I kiss him again and say "I want to. I need this Opie. I need to take my life back. I want you." I say. He turns me over and kisses me deeply. He kisses down my neck and we start shedding clothes. He looks me in the eyes and asks "Are you sure?" I kiss his lips and whisper, "Love me Harry." He kisses me deeply as he enters me slowly. Thrusting slowly, he makes love to me all night until we both fall into a blissful sleep.
The next morning, I wake up and he's wrapped around me. I hear him stir and turn in his arms. Kissing his neck and down his chest, he stops me. I look at him and he kisses me softly before hovering over me to make love to me again. Once we both reach our release, we lay there together. "So much for taking it slow." he laughs. I lightly smack his chest and say "You complaining?" He pulls me closer and says "Hell no. I finally got to be with my girl. I'm not complaining." he says. "Good. Opie, thank you for everything. You didn't have to defend me like you did and you didn't have to claim me." I say. "I defended you because no one hurt someone I care about and gets away with it. Brother or not. I claimed you because I wanted to. I want to be with you." he says. I kiss him softly and say "We better get ready for work or Gemma's gonna have our asses." He laughs and we get up to get a shower, together before getting ready for work.
