Just a short update to let ya'll know Lenny is still going strong, I can give a really pathetic sorry for the delay in this update. I have had some total re-think in the direction I want Lenny to go on her journey with Jax! And I hope you guys approve! As always any feedback helps me with my writing , so met know what you think!

Dancing in the dark

Lenny felt her whole body go rigid as she squeezed her eyes shut trying to ride out the waves of pleasure as she heard Jax roughly command she open her eyes far off some where even though he was just above her looking down. Looking up as she dragged ragged breaths into her starved lungs as she took in the sight of Jax, his skin with a damp sheen of sweat and his hair was a sight, she quickly pressed a closed kiss to Jax's mouth as he looked down at her before pulling back into his knees.

Admiring his toned muscles Lenny allowed her finger tips to trace the tattoo on his forearm as knelt above her all she could do was grin, she was a lucky girl right now.

"How many you got?" His voice was hoarse which was sexy as hell, Lenny narrowed her eyes in confusion until Jax explained her meant how many tattoos she have.

"Oh, um five," they both positioned themselves to be more comfortable, Lenny sat with her back against the sofa arm whilst Jax had pulled his boxers back on and tossed Lenny his SAMCRO shirt to cover herself as he sat down on the sofa and pulled her feet so they rested in his lap. "You want the tour ?" Lenny bit down on her lip.

"I think I've seen most the sights, darling," Jax laughed, he had seen the large rose that graced her hip bone with its blood red ink and scripture underneath that read her father's name, the Roman Numerals on her inner wrist that translated to the anniversary of Rays death , the music note behind her ear was small and discreet in comparison to the flock of birds that were inked across her right shoulder. "I got four so far,"

Lenny lifted her right foot and Jax caught it easily in his hands as he saw the foreign script there, he looked down at Lenny questioning, " The past is practice, its a Hebrew proverb," she explained stretching out.

"Your Son, Abel, how's he doing?" Lenny glanced at the ink on his chest, she felt bad that she hadn't really asked after his son but she had just been too wrapped up in her own shit .

Lenny couldn't help but think it was nice to listen to some one else's troubles for some change, she hadn't realised just how poorly Jax's little boy had been or even that he had been married, although he assured he was now divorced. Lenny asked why he had never spoken about Abel before and her heart broke as Jax hardened up and closed off as he explained he wasnt ready for a kid, let alone a kid that was ill. She rubbed his arm in assurance, Jax was a sensitive soul really and she knew that he was scared to love someone as much as he loved Abel knowing that in a split second his son could be taken from him and there was nothing Jax could do to prevent that. It must be hard for a man who had control over the running of a whole town to know his sons fate was totally out of his control.

"I'd like to meet the little guy, I mean if you didn't mind obviously," Lenny didn't know if she'd over stepped the mark, after all she and Jax hadn't made any promises to each other.

"I was gonna head over for visiting this afternoon before we head off for the first few gigs of yours," it was the only invitation Lenny was gonna get and she accepted.

The pair showered for the day and sat around Bobby's kitchen table as Lenny made them toast and coffees. Jax was explaining how he and Tig would be accompanying her to Arizona for her first shift as Bobby's replacement.

"Back on home turf," Lenny sounded less than thrilled about the prospect as she bit into her toast.

"You'll be fine, Tig and I are gonna be with you the whole time," Jax could tell Lenny was anxious about going back home and he had to make sure she did the gig so the club got their money but he didn't want her freaking out . "The Arizona Charter are all gonna be there too, some of your daddy's old pals,"

It was meant to consol Lenny but she felt a rug in her stomach at the thought,"it'll be fine ," she lied, Lenny thought she ought to call Jen and let her know she would be in town for a day or two, the thought of calling her mother even crossed her mind as she put the dishes away before heading to the clubhouse so Jax could attend Church.

Lenny sat in the office at Teller-Morrow as the Sons discussed the finer detail surrounding her trip to Arizona, swaying from side to side she tapped at the phone as she debated on calling Jen. On the one hand she was desperate to see her friend but then on the other she didn't know if Jen had spilled her secret, the knot in Lenny's stomach tightened as she thought through the scenarios she would be faced with. She knew that Jax would look out for her but going back to Arizona after what she did just felt like returning to the direct scene of the crime and that was just plain stupid, even if she did have a set of bodyguards in Jax and Tig.

Grabbing the receiver she dialled the number from memory and waited to be connected, Lenny was surprised at how much the knot in her stomach loosened at the sound of the familiar voice as she smiled.

"Hello, who is this? Is anybody there?"

Lenny took a deep breath, "Mom?"
