Chapter 11

A little later, Juice tells me he has to head to work. "You wanna ride in with me?" he asked. "No. I think I'll just get some things done around here." I tell him. He looks at me and I say "I'm fine Juice. Go on." I tell him. He kisses me goodbye and says "I love you." as he looks into my eyes. "I love you too." I say. He kisses me one more time and heads out the door. Once I hear his bike leave, I start cleaning up the house and getting laundry done. Once everything is done, I sit on the couch and think about the night before. Maybe it's better if I don't go to the clubhouse anymore. Then I don't have to see the croweaters all over him. I just can't be what he needs. I think to myself.

I decide to do a little reading. I head to the back deck with a beer and a book and am still sitting there when Juice comes home that evening. He walks out to the back deck and kisses the top of my head. "Get showered and I will start dinner." I tell him, getting up and walking past him. He follows me in and I start getting things ready for dinner. "We can order in." he says. "No. I want to cook." I tell him without looking at him. He grabs my wrist and turns me around. "Hey. Talk to me." he says. "I'm okay. Just still stuck in my own head. I'll be okay." I tell him and try to pull away. "No, come one. We are going to fix this once and for all." he says and I try to pull away again and he tells me, "No. You need to see just how amazing you are and how much I love you and want to be with you." he says. He pulls me out to the bike and puts my helmet on me and kisses me softly. "I love you Gabby." he says

Pulling onto the lot, I get off the bike and he does too. Taking off our helmets, he puts them in the saddle bags and takes my hand. Intertwining our fingers, he leads me into the clubhouse. Ima is sitting at one of the tables with a couple of other porn sluts and she gets up as soon as she sees Juice and I walk in. She walks up to us and tries to run her hand up his chest, with me right there, but he pushes her away. "You need to back off. Gabby is the one I want. Not you. No one wants you." he says. She keeps trying to touch him and I finally had enough and get pissed off. I grab her by the hair and slam her face into the closest table and get in her face. "You fucking touch my husband again and I will fucking kill you. Do you understand?" I seethe. She glares at me. I turn and grab Juice's gun and put it to her head and ask "Do you fucking understand me?" She nods her head yes and I hand him his gun back. She stands and Jax tells her, "Don't show your face here again." Before she can make it out the door, Luann stops her and says "Don't worry about work. You're fired."

I pull away from Juice and walk to the bar. "Can I get a shot please?" I ask the prospect and he puts one in front of me. "Keep them coming please." I say and he nods. Juice walks over and puts his hand on the small of my back. "Don't please. Just give me a couple of minutes." I say without looking at him. He backs off and Lyla walks over. Grabbing a bottle off the shelf, she says "Come on." She takes my hand and leads me out to the swingset.

We each take a swing and she hands me the bottle of Jack. "Spill." she says. "Seeing Ima all over him like that last night, I realized that I would never be enough for him. I know he cares about me but I won't be enough for him and eventually he will see that. You know I had just put the last of my things in my car when he pulled up last night?" I asked. "Gabby, you didn't see him last night. After you left, he shoved her off of him and told her that he would never want her. He told her to find someone else to make miserable. Then he looked everywhere for you. She asked him what made him think that you would be enough for him and you know what he said?" she asked. I just looked at her. "He said that you are the only one that he has ever been able to see growing old with. He told her that since being with you, that no one turns him on. He told her that when he sees her that he is disgusted because she's not you." she tells me. "Really?" I asked. "Yeah. Honey, that man is head over heels in love with you." she says. I look over at the clubhouse door and then look back at Lyla. "I guess I should go let my husband know we are going to be okay." I tell her. Standing up, we hug each other and I say "I don't know what I would do without you Lyla." She smiles and says "What else are best friends for?" I smile and we head back inside.

Walking back inside, I walk over to Juice where he was standing at the pool table with Opie and Jax. I wrap my arms around his waist and he pulls me closer. Looking up at him I nod and he leans down and kisses me softly. "I love you Juice." I say softly. "I love you too baby." he says before pulling me even closer.

A little later, we head to the dorm. After closing and locking the door, we strip down to get into bed. We are laying face to face and just looking at each other. "Are we going to be okay?" he asked. "Yeah baby. We're okay. I just let her get in my head and I shouldn't have. I promise, I won't let it happen again." I tell him. "Just talk to me. The only way I know what's going on in that pretty head of yours is if you talk to me." he says. "Okay." I say. "I don't want to come home again seeing your things packed in the car. I don't know what I would do without you." he tells me. I lean forward and kiss him. "Make love to me Juice." I say.

He rolls me to my back and hovers over me. He kisses me deeply and starts kissing his way down my body as he undresses me. Once we are both undressed, he starts running his tongue up and down my center and causing me to come undone. Once I reach my release, he moves up and enters me slowly. Thrusting in and out slowly, he whispers how much he loves me as he causes me to reach my release as he reaches his right behind me.

The next morning, we get up and get showered together. He puts me against wall of the shower and lifts me up and enters me hard and fast. "Fuck Juice, that feels so good." I moan. "Shit. I'm gonna cum." I tell him as I reach my release and he follows right behind me. "Fuck, Gabby." he grunts as he cums.

Walking out to the main room, I walk over to the table with Tara, Lyla and Gemma. "You okay?" Gemma asked. "Yeah. I'm good." I say. Opie and Juice walk over to tell us that they are heading to the garage to work and Opie just starts laughing when he looks at me. "He marked me again didn't he?" I asked. "Oh yeah." Opie says. I look at Juice and he is grinning from ear to ear. I look at Lyla and ask "How bad is it?" She laughs and says "Sweetheart, I don't know if you have a spot that isn't completely marked. I look back at Juice and stand up. He takes off running away from me and I just yell, "Can't hide forever Ortiz." The entire table starts laughing. "I heard you had a little conversation with Ima." Tara says. "A little more than a conversation. Slammed her face into a table and then pulled her Old Man's gun on the whore." Lyla says. Tara's eyes goes wide. "Seriously?" Tara asked. "Yeah. Then Jax told her not to come back and Luann fired her." I tell her. "Are you and Juice really okay now?" Lyla asked. "Yeah. We talked last night and spent some time reconnecting." I tell her. "It was more me not being able to get out of my own head but I'm okay now." I say.

After we talk for a while, I head to the bathroom and see all of the love bites on my neck and collarbone. I can't help but laugh when I see them. I walk back out to the main room and head out to the garage. Watching Juice, before he sees me there, I decide that I will return the favor. "Hey baby." he says when he sees me. "Hey. You ready to take lunch?" I asked. "Yeah. What do you want for lunch?" he asked as he puts his arms around my waist. I put my arms around his neck and whisper in his ear, "You." I say before he picks me up and carries me to the dorm.
