Blended Chapter 7

M/N: Hope you guys enjoy this chapter.

XvampiresXwolverineXOmg: I really feel bad for Steven. You are right he should not have went through what he did but he thought he was doing the right thing in helping to protect the club….bless his heart.

TeamEveryoneButEdward: I think Jax will do more than bribe with a date….LOL.

Guest: I will make sure I incorporate Cortney's past in future chapters.

HGRHfan35: I used your words "Putty in his hands" LOL…look out for it.

Guest: Were going to have to agree to disagree on this one. I don't think the race of the parents really have anything to do with spoiling and letting a child get away with stuff. I do agree Cortney does let Steven get away with stuff but he is the only child and spoiled rotten and I have decided to write her that way….that might change later.

Lovejns29: Glad you like it. Here is another chapter and I hope you enjoy.


"Is everything alright?" Cortney asked as Jax walked down the stairs.

"Yeah…..everything is fine." Jax answered as he walked up to the kitchen table where Cortney was drinking hot tea.

"Would you like some tea?"

"Sure."

Jax sat down as Cortney got up to make his tea. Jax took the opportunity to look her over as she busied herself in the kitchen preparing his tea.

"Jax I still don't want Steven back at the garage." She said pouring hot water from the kettle in a coffee mug.

"What are you doing tomorrow night" Jax asked ignoring what she had just told him.

"Nothing. Why?" she asked placing his hot tea in front of him.

"Mom is having a dinner and I want you and Steven to come. You need to be reminded that we are not bad people. Didn't you have a good time at Abel's party?"

"Yes I did but hanging out with you guys does not change the fact that you guys are surrounded by danger." She said looking away from his eyes as she took a sip of her tea.

"I understand your concern but I am asking you to please not pull Steven away from the garage."

"And what if I did?" Cortney challenged.

A brief mischievous smiled played on Jax's lips that caused Cortney to squirm a little in her seat.

"Then I will have to find a way to convince you," He said his eyes not leaving hers. "You and Steven stop by my mom's tomorrow night at seven. I will text Steven the address." He said finishing his tea and standing up to go. Cortney did not argue with Jax as she walked him to the door.

"Tomorrow at seven." He told her again before leaving. Cortney sighed, shut the door and wondered why she didn't put up a fight with him. She knew the answer….she liked him and she wanted to see him every chance she could. How could she keep her son safe and explore her feelings for Jax?

"Mom? Jax leave?" Steven asked coming down the stairs.

"Yeah…we have dinner at his mom's tomorrow night. He said he will text you the address."

Steven raised an eyebrow. Jax didn't mention anything about a dinner. It must be Jax's way to sweet-talk her into letting him stay at the garage.

"Alright sounds good." Steven said opening the fridge to grab a bottled water. Cortney looked at her son.

"Steven do you feel safe at Teller-Morrow? Do you really like it there?"

Steven opened his water and took a long gulp before answering.

"I love it there mom and yes I do feel safe. Jax and the guys would never let anything happen to me and Joseph."

"Alright…..but if something else happens at that garage you are not going back…..do you understand me?" Steven nodded his head yes, planted a kiss on his mom's cheek and ran back upstairs.

Steven woke up in a drench of sweat. His door swung open as his bedroom light flickered on. Cortney ran into the room next to his bed.

"Baby are you alright?" she said sitting on his bed. "My God you are soaking and wet!"

Steven did not think he had screamed out from the dream but his mother sitting next to him was conformation that he did indeed scream aloud.

"I'm fine mom." He lied wiping the beads of sweat off his forehead.

"You don't look fine. It has been years since you have had a nightmare this intense. What's going on?"

"Nothing….must have been the Mexican you cooked earlier." It was Mexican alright….just not food. The image of the fatal shot he shot kept playing in his head. Right before he woke up the man had risen from the dead, walked straight up to Steven, and fired a bullet in his head. Steven woke up terrified. He needed to talk to Jax.

"Go back to bed mom. I'm alright. I'm going to change my sheets and try to go back to sleep."

Cortney looked at her son hesitant to go.

"I'm fine mom." Steven reassured her putting his hand on her shoulder.

"Ok….well let me know if you need anything. Make sure you pray before going back to sleep."

"I will."

As soon as he heard her bedroom door shut he dialed Jax number. It was about 2:30am and hoped Jax would not be upset with him calling this late.

"Nightmares?" Jax asked as soon as he picked up.

"Yeah….real bad."

"It may happen the next couple of weeks but it will stop."

"Ok." Steven replied voice barely above a whisper.

"Steven remember you will get through this…..you did the right thing."

"Ok." Steven whispered again.

"I will see you and your mom tomorrow and we can talk more then…OK?"

"Yeah….I'll see you tomorrow. Steven hung up the phone not really feeling any better.


Gemma pulled Cortney into a hug.

"Thanks for coming." She said letting go and eyeing Cortney up and down. Gemma was trying to figure what was so special about this woman and her son that Jax had her drop everything and plan this last minute get together.

"Thanks for having us." Cortney replied as Gemma's side eye did not go unnoticed. "Jax not here yet?" she asked recognizing many of the guys from Abel's party but no Jax.

"He is on his way. What would you like to drink?"

"Oh no thank you." Cortney replied as she remembered the Jack Daniels fiasco.

"How about a glass of white wine?" Gemma offered heading into the kitchen. "It's a really good Pinot Gorgio."

"Sure." She couldn't get into too much trouble with wine.

Cortney followed behind Gemma to her huge kitchen as Steven disappeared in the living room with some of the guys.

"Jax is really concern about you pulling Steven from the garage." Gemma started as she poured two large goblets half way with Pinot Gorgio.

"I'm a little concern about the shoot-out. Were you there?"

"No I wasn't and neither was Steven." Gemma handed Cortney her wine. "Understand that no one has ever been hurt on our property due to the club."

Cortney nodded her head and took a gulp of wine. Where was Jax?

Cortney helped Gemma in the kitchen when she heard a chorus of text alerts. All the guys including Steven looked at their phone and then headed outside.

"Where is everyone going?" Cortney asked about to follow her son outside. Gemma grabbed her arm and stopped her.

"They are going outside to greet Jax. Steven will be alright." Gemma said shaking her head. This woman really needed to cut the umbilical cord.

Jax got off his bike and pulled Steven into an embrace.

"Steven we know what you did for us and we all are proud of you." Chibs said.

We appreciate you and don't want what you did for us to eat away at you." Montez added.

Jax pulled out a patch from his pocket.

"We all voted on this and we don't want you to take this lightly as this patch is for club members only and is exclusive." Jax handed Steven a Men of Mayhem patch. Steven's mouth fell open as he had an idea what the patch meant and now just had conformation as to what it did represent.

"Do not show this patch to anyone but keep it near so you will have a reminder how much we appreciate what you did." Jax told him as he closed Steven's hand into a fist over the patch.

"You did good kid…..and think if you ever want to prospect with us you will have a major head start than any other prospect." Happy said patting him on the shoulder.

"Thanks guys." Steven said trying to hold back his tears as each member gave him a hug.

Cortney looked up from setting the table as everyone walked into the house. She found Steven smiling with Jax patting him on the back as they made their way into the living room. Jax looked over at Cortney and their eyes locked for a few seconds before Cortney looked away feeling flushed.

All throughout dinner, Jax and Cortney could not keep their eyes off each other, which did not go unnoticed by Gemma. During dinner, everyone pretty much tried to persuade Cortney to let Steven stay at the garage. She knew she was going to give in but they did not need to know that right away.

After dinner, the guys hung around and started drinking and telling Steven stories of different adventures about the club. Cortney helped Gemma clean up in the kitchen and helped her finish the bottle of wine After finally finishing cleaning the kitchen the wine hit her bladder and Cortney rushed to the bathroom.

Opening the door to exit she found Jax standing in front of the door. He pushed his way in, shut the door, pushed her up against the sink, reached up, and cupped her face in his hands. Jax hot and hungry tongue penetrated into Cortney's mouth and Cortney did not protest, as she had wanted despite her constant denial to taste Jax's lips and tongue since the first time she laid eyes on him. Cortney moaned as they ate each other's mouth, desperately consuming one another. Jax tongue thrust an destructive rhythm as his tongue fucked her mouth. Cortney shivered under his assault as Jax dragged his mouth to her neck and nibbled and licked her hot skin and sent earth-shattering tremors throughout Cortney's body. Cortney found herself pushing up against Jax and Jax gut tighten with want. He brought his lips back to hers.

"I should take you right here and now." He groaned against her swollen, moistened lips.

Cortney moaned with anticipation. Jax nibbled her ear, looked up at his reflection in the mirror, and smiled. He had her exactly where he wanted her….putty in his hands.

Jax lifted up and ran his fingers through Cortney's hair. She was trying hard to regulate her breathing as she looked up at him.

"Jax are you using your charms to persuade me about Steven." Cortney said almost out of breath just before Jax leaned in and bit her bottom lip.

"No sweetheart….are you going to deny the attraction we have for each other?" he whispered against her mouth.

"No."

"Then no I am not using my so call charms to get you agree to let Steven stay," Jax kissed her lips again. "but if you keep saying no I will pull out all my cards and trust me Cortney when I am done with you….you won't even remember your name or be able to deny me anything and that includes having Steven back at the garage where he belongs."

He spoke so bluntly. Man he was so aggravating….yet sexy as fuck!

Before she could reply, a knock on the door brought them both back down to reality. Jax planted a quick peck on Cortney's lip before he opened the door. Happy stood at the door looking perplexed as to why they were both in the bathroom together.

"Excuse me." Cortney said easing pass Happy full of embarrassment.

"Thanks again for having us Gemma." Cortney said giving Gemma another hug.

"Stop by anytime." Gemma said as she contemplated what was going on with her and her son.

Jax walked Cortney and Steven to his car. Cortney stayed silent as Jax and Steven talked.

"See you Monday at the garage Steven." Jax said shutting the passenger door after Cortney had crawled in. Steven looked over at his mom confused, as she did not protest.

"Ok…..I'll see you then."

"I'll talk to you soon Cortney." Jax said with a smirk on his face. Cortney ignored Jax and looked straight ahead. However, Steven noticed a hint of a smile playing on her lips.

What the happen between his mom and Jax?


What are your thoughts on the club voting to give Steven the exclusive Men of Mayhem patch? Do you think they should have given it to a teenager and especially someone who is not a patched member? You guys called it Jax would use his charms to get Cortney to give in about Steven….who could resist that? I just hope she does not regret her decision.
