Charming Is Not so Charming

Chapter Twenty One: Weekend Retreat

Juliet watched as the men in her life, minus Juice, headed out for their "relay" in Eureka. Juliet and Juice left soon after in her car as they stopped by her house to pack a few things before heading up to the cabin. Juliet had to admit, she needed a break from Charming, even if it was only for a few days.

She stared out the window as Juice drove the two hours away from Charming to the cabin. She looked around the small two bedroom cabin. It needed some TLC, well lots of TLC. She knew Piney had not long come back from the cabin. Piney would disappear for days, sometimes weeks, on his benders. The place still smelled of tequila.

"I'm going to start tidying up." She said as Juice set the bags on the couch.

"Who's the one who has OCD now?" He joked with his signature smile.

"There's no telling who Piney had up here." She told him. "And where all they had done it."

He thought about it for a second and nodded.

"You're right." He said starting to open the windows.

She spent an hour or so cleaning the place up while Juice was outside. Juliet giggled as she looked out the kitchen window and seen Juice cutting wood for the fireplace. She never imagined Juice being the outdoor type but he was proving her wrong. She watched him for a minute and suddenly didn't want to go back to Charming at all. Forget the club, and all the problems in it, forget about Carter and Ethan Zobelle. Her and Juice could stay at the cabin, just the two of them. She smiled when she thought about children. They would have two kids, a boy and a girl. She giggled to herself when she pictured him with kids. The boy would be just like him, complete with a small Mohawk. The girl would look just like her but she would have Juice's smile and his ears.

"What are you smiling about?"

She jumped and turned around. While she was daydreaming, she missed him come inside.

"Nothing." She smiled as she wraps her arms around his neck. "Just happy to be away from Charming and alone with you."

He was a little sweaty and it turned on Juliet.

"Not to mention you're all sweaty and I'm a little turned on." She said with a teasing smile.

Juice didn't give her to say anything else, as he push her against the wall and they immediately went to tearing their clothes off. Once they were fully undressed, he bent her over the kitchen counter and rammed into her. She moaned in both pleasure and pain but the pain felt so good. He grabbed a fist full of her hair and gave it a tug as he rammed back into her. She was so close but he suddenly pulled out of her. He turned her around and picked her up. She wrapped her legs around him as he put her on the edge of the counter and rammed back into her. She dig her nails into his back and it made him ram harder into her as he let out a low growl. He picked up the pace and a few minutes later he was leaning against her and they were both panting. After they caught their breath, he sighed and kissed her.

"I have to say if me chopping wood turns you on, I might have to do it more often." He said pulling his jeans back up. "Hell, I'll have a fireplace put into the house as soon as we get back."

She giggled as she hopped off the counter and slipped her tank back on.

Juice and Juliet spent the rest of the evening playing strip poker.

"I let you win." Juice told her standing up in the nude.

She rolled her eyes as he walked casually to the kitchen to get a beer out of the fridge.

"You're just pissed because I'm better at poker, Ortiz." She told him.

The next morning, Juliet woke up to find the other side of the bed empty. She wrapped the sheet around her body and walked out of the room. She smelled food cooking and walked into the kitchen. Juice was in his boxers in front of the stove.

"I'd say good morning but its afternoon." He told her as he leaned over and kissed her lips.

"Pancakes, eggs and sausage? What did I do to deserve this?"

"My apologizes for getting you shitfaced last night."

The mention of alcohol made Juliet a little woozy. Juliet couldn't remember the last time she had drank so much. She remembered several rounds of strip poker, more sex, more drinking and more sex.

"Did you hold my hair back while I puked?"

He nodded.

"I'm so sorry." She said embarrassed.

"It's alright." He chuckled. "You warned me that you couldn't handle beer and tequila."

He handed her a cup of coffee and some aspirin. She put the pills in her mouth and took a sip of her coffee to wash them down.

"Sit." He told her.

She went to the table and sat down as instructed. He brought over the plate and sat it down in front of her. She opted to start on the pancakes first to see how her stomach would handle it.

After they ate, he cleaned the kitchen and she went to take a long hot shower. She hated that they would be leaving in a few more hours to head back to Charming. Her thoughts was cut short as she felt a pair of arms wrapped around her.

"Care if I join you?"

"Not at all." She smiled turning to look at him. "I wish we didn't have to go back so soon."

"I know." He said with a sigh. "Maybe we can go someplace else again soon for more than 24 hours. After we handle this Zobelle and LOAN situation."

She opened her mouth to tell him what she knew about Zobelle and her connections but she closed it. She couldn't tell him now, not like this.

A few hours later, they passed by the Welcome to Charming sign. She hadn't really said much on the way back. She couldn't because she was too busy feeling shitty for not telling Juice the truth. He deserved to know, hell her whole family did. The club most of all needed to know, maybe she could help bring them down if she would let the Sons know what she knew.

Juice left Juliet at the house as he hopped on his bike and headed to the clubhouse. Her daydreaming of a life with him away from Charming was farfetched. Juice loved the club; it was all he had really. She knew that no matter how much he loved and cared about her that he would never give up being a Son.
