Harlie needed him. She stared down at her phone, itching to call him. But what was she going to say? He made it clear that whatever it was they had, it couldn't go anywhere. She tried as hard as she could to avoid being home at night. It was like her parents were reliving their honeymoon. She had been staying with Jax for the last few days; helping him and Tara take care of Abel. Anytime she looked at him she wondered about her own future. She wondered if she'd ever have kids. But, who knew. She still had years to think about that.
"Hey, where's Tara?" Jax stepped into Abel's nursery, shoulders. After the rape, she grew closer to Jax. He was like an overprotective big brother.
"Umm.. To be honest, I have no idea. Chibs is comin' home tomorrow, right?" Harlie laughed, sitting down in the rocker. "When's Tacoma gonna get here?"
"Both in the mornin', kid." Jax laughed. "Just be patient." It was way too hard. She couldn't be patient about something like this. Kozik was coming down with Doughnut and the Nomad President, Quinn. It'd been about two yeasr since she'd seen Kozik. She knew he was gonna go on and on about her having boobs and about how she shouldn't grow up that fast. And she missed Chibs so much. She felt horrible keeping him out of the loop, but he needed to heal. So did she. The feeling was still raw. "We got an important vote tomorrow."
"Please tell me you're not thinking about going Nomad." She didn't want him out by himself like that. She knew what Nomad meant. No matter how hard Clay tried to shelter from the club life. Things had started to die down a little until Cara-Cara burnt down. Jax had a thing for blaming Clay for incidents like this. She knew her dad wanted out of the porn business a long time ago, but guys love pussy. In the end, Harlie would always side with her dad and Jax knew that. She was in a hard spot.
"I don't know yet.." Jax sighed, taking Abel from her. "The guys and I were thinkin' this should be you."
Harlie looked over at him. "What should be me?"
"Taking out Weston. Mine and Hap's idea." Jax cradled Abel in his arms.
"Whoa.." She just shook her head."Jax, I.."
"You don't have to do it.." He shrugged, dropping the subject. "You stayin' here tonight?"
"I already walked in on my parents once today, I really don't wanna relive that." Harlie took a seat beside him.
"It's about time we had a serious talk," Jax hinted, trying to change the subject.
"Are you seriously still going on about that Happy bullshit?" Harlie rolled her eyes, crossing her legs.
"You see that bite mark?" He watched as she covered it up quickly. "Yeah, me too."
"Why does it bother you so much?" She snapped. "It's none of your business.
"Because I care about you and I wan-.." He was cut off.
"Don't you dare say to protect me." Harlie narrowed her eyes. "You guys already did a dam good job of that." That was a hit below the belt and she knew it. She never meant to throw it up in his face. "I gotta go.." She grabbed her purse of the counter and a set of pajamas from her bag. "I'm heading to the clubhouse, you care?"
Jax just shrugged. He didn't mean to upset her, but it really pissed him off that she would throw that at him.
"See ya.." She sighed, walking out of the house. She slid into the driver's seat of her car, grabbing her phone. The first thing she did was dial Happy's number.
"Yeah?" Happy grumbled, yawning.
"You're asleep early." Harlie laughed, leaning back in her seat.
"You need somethin', Princess?" She heard him sit up. The sound of loud music could be heard in the background.
"I need you." She said bluntly. "Goddamnit, Hap.. I can't stand this."
"Where are you?"
"Leaving Jax's." She hung up, letting her phone slide behind her. What ever happened tonight was going to seal her fate.
Jax watched from the window as she pulled out of the driveway. He knew exactly where she was going. "I gotta bad feeling about this, little man.."He said to Abel, kissing his forehead.
When she got there, they went straight to his room. There wasn't any sweet, comforting conversation. The only sound that filled the room was their heavy breathing and the sound of zippers. It was like a train wreck this time. Clothes few everywhere in a matter of minutes. Their release came quick that night. He looked down at her with her head on his chest and he knew he was in too deep. There was no going back. She was his and no one was gonna change that. He didn't give a damn who it was. He would even stand up to Clay for her. He knew he was going to have to sooner of later.
" 'I live, I die, I kill. For my family'.." Harlie mumbled, tracing the tattoo with her finger. "When did you get this one?"
"About ten years ago, I think.." Happy sighed, running his fingers through her hair. "I've been drunk since then." He chuckled.
"Were you drunk?" She giggled quietly.
"Nah, don't think so." He shook his head."What time is it?"
"About midnight..." She replied, flipping open her phone. It blinked with the message 'One missed call'. Kozik. He would call while she was fucking Hap.
"Nice." He grinned, taking the phone from him. "Call him later." He whispered, kissing her neck.
"Fine.." She slid up into his lap, wrapping her arms around his neck. His teeth scraped against her skin as he bit down on her neck. She gasped, her head flying back.
"That's mine.." Happy whispered. She was already wet again when he slid his down between her legs. His thumb brushed against her clit lightly and she whimpered. She was a little bit sore from earlier, but the pleasure outweighed the pain. He flipped her over on her back, looking down at her. "Stay still.." He murmured against her skin, kissing his way down to her breasts. He took one nipple into his mouth, pinching the other between his thumb and his forefinger.
Harlie arched into his touch, digging her nails into his shoulders.
"Tell me how you want it.." Happy whispered, squeezing her tits in his hands. His touch lit her on fire.
"I.." Her face flushed bright pink. "I dunno.."
"You want me to choose for ya, doll?" The ends of his lips turned up into a full smirk. He watched her nod shyly. "Then turn over.. Hands and knees." He felt himself get ever harder as she positioned herself the way he wanted. He gripped her hips with one, the other on her lower back. He rubbed the tip of his cock against her entrance, sliding inside her with one quick thrust.
Harlie gripped the sheets in her hands, crying out in ecstasy. She felt his hands grip her hips tightly. If there were bruises, she could wear them like battle scars. He pulled out slowly, thrusting back into her roughly. He set up a quick pace with deep strokes, fucking her like there was no tomorrow. Her loud moans were spurring him on. She was even tighter this way. He always liked taking women from behind, but this blew every other experience out of the water.
"Happy!" She moaned, as she felt her orgasm tear through her body. She felt him go deep, if that was possible. It hit him like a goddamn bomb going off inside him. He came hard, emptying his hot cum inside her. He held her to him for a minute as he caught his breath.
"Goddamn, Princess.." Happy panted, pulling out of her. He didn't want to, but he had to. She laid down on her stomach, closing her eyes. He laid down beside her, pulling her against his chest. "You're stayin', right?" He whispered, kissing her cheek.
"You gonna let me leave?" She smirked.
"Hell no." He said possessively.
"I guess it's settled them. I'm stayin'." She looked up at him, placing a kiss on his lips. "We both need to sleep. Tomorrow's gonna be one hell of a day." She smiled.
"Yeah.." He chuckled, jerking the comforter over both of them.
Harlie awoke to the distant rumble of Harley's getting closer. It was only seven and she was still exhausted. When she opened her eyes, she noticed Happy was gone. She pulled the blanket closer around her and fell back asleep. She kept dozing back and forth until she heard someone kick the door open. Her first thought was Clay. But, the voice surprised the shit out of her.
"Time to get up!" Kozik yelled, nudging her with the edge of his boot.
"Holy shit!" Harlie shouted, turning over. Instead of rolling over on the mattress, she fell to the floor.
"Mornin'." He smirked. "Don't I get a hug?"
Harlie glared up at him. "Asshole."
"You wanna tell me what you're doin' in here?" He held his hand out of her, pulling her up. She jerked Happy's shirt up off the floor and slid it on quickly. He stumbled back a bit when threw her arms around his neck. He wrapped his arms around her waist. "Missed you, kid.." He whispered.
"I missed you too." Harlie kissed his cheek.
"So.. Answer my question." He crossed his arm, the uncle part of him kicking in.
"I already told you.." She blushed, sitting down on the bed.
"So.. You and the killer, huh?" He sat down beside, kissing her forehead. "He treat you alright?"
"'Course he does." She shrugged.
"Good. I'd kick his ass if he didn't." Kozik grinned cockily.
"Nah, you'd just try to steal me from him." Harlie laughed.
"Damn right, gorgeous. Now get dressed. Your lover's outside." He hugged her one last time before he walked out.
"Mornin'." Kozik smirked as Harlie stepped outside. It was too early, she definitely needed more sleep.
"Ha. Bite me, asshole." Harlie flipped him off.
"God, you're gorgeous." He chuckled, wrapping his arm around her. He looked her up and down. Her black wife beater almost looked painted on along with her her jeans. She wore a pair of riding boots that Clay gave her for her last birthday. Harlie saw Happy scowl from across the lot.
"Koz, don't.." Harlie pushed him arm off. "Trust me."
"Oh, c'mon. If I wanted you, I'd already have you." Before he could even lean down to kiss her cheek Happy had his arms wrapped around her waist.
"Wrap it up, kids. Daddy's here." Jax made his way over to them, pointing a finger over at Clay pulling in.
"If he asks, Koz picked me up early this morning." Harlie said quickly to Jax. He held his hands up in defeat.
"Don't bring me into this, babe." Kozik laughed, messing up her hair.
"Lets just go get Chibs." Harlie laughed, grabbing Happy's helmet from his hand.
"Here, take this.." Kozik tossed her his jacket. "Keep it. You already have one of mine."
Harlie looked up at Happy as though she was was seeking approval. He shrugged, but she could tell he wasn't enthused by the idea.
"Nah, I got one.." She threw it back to him. "Let me get mine outta my car."
Happy gave Kozik a long stare before starting to walk off. "Hey, man.. You ain't gotta worry." Kozik grabbed Happy's arm. "That girl's my niece. I don't want her like that, but.. If you do anything to hurt her, then you need to worry. I will kick your ass." He narrowed his eyes, releasing his arm.
Happy gave him a nod, walking over to his bike.
"Who you ridin' with, darlin'?" Bobby asked, looking between Harlie and Happy.
"I'll just ride with Hap," she said dismissively and slid onto the back. She winced quietly. Last night was finally starting to settle in and it really hurt.
Bobby glanced over at Jax, giving him a questioning look.
"Don't worry about it, man." Jax shook his head, revving up his bike.
Harlie wrapped her arms around Happy's waist, leaning her cheek against his shoulder. It was gonna be a long day.
"Chibs!" Harlie squealed as she saw Chibs emerge through the double doors. Half-Sack was running and pushing Chibs in the process.
"Abracadabra!" Chibs shouted. "I'm free! Jackie-Boy! Elvis! Princess!"
"Put it on." Bobby chuckled, helping Chibs into his cut.
Harlie squeezed Happy's hand. She placed a kiss on his cheek before wrapping her arms around Chibs.
"It's my baby!" He laughed, spinning her in a circle.
"God, I missed you.." She whispered, hugging him tight.
"I missed you too, little girl." He grinned, hugging the other guys.
"Clearly there's been some brain damage." Bobby shook his head.
"You wish." Chibs mumbled.
"Nah, I'm pretty sure he was this stupid before he got here." Jax smirked, clapping a hand on his back."How ya doin'?"
"Alright," Chibs answered. "What's going with Zobelle?" He asked, walking down the hall.
"It's complicated, man." Jax sighed. "Got the feds in town. Some bad shit went down."
"Like what?" He asked, watching from the corner of his eye as Happy wrapped his arm around Harlie's shoulder. "He's gotta go away."
"Not here." Jax said simply. "Let's get you home." He grinned, leading Chibs onto the elevator.
"Hey, I'm gonna ride with Chibs and Sack. You care?" Harlie stopped, looking up at him.
"Go ahead." He kissed her forehead quickly. "We'll be behind you." He pulled her onto the elevator.
"Trouble down below?" Chibs laughed, watching Half-Sack squirm uncomfortably.
"I dunno." Half Sack frowned. "I think the swelling is getting worse."
"Well, I got perfect cure for that. Lets go to Cara-Cara and get ourselves a few lovelies each." Chibs smirked.
"Warehouse burned down." Harlie said from the back.
"When?" Chibs's jaw dropped. "Who?"
"We dunno yet." Half-Sack shrugged. "Jax thinks Clay did it to kill the porno biz."
"Why the hell would Clay try to kill porn?" Chibs snapped. There went the good pussy.
"I dunno, he wants us focused on guns." Half-Sack shook his head.
"Jesus Christ.." Chibs mumbled.
"That's why Jax is talkin' Nomad." Oh shit. Was Half-Sack really that stupid?
"Nomad?" Chibs asked in disbelief. "Make a left." He said firmly.
"Why?" Half-Sack glanced over at him.
Harlie saw Chibs reach for the gun in the console. "Make a left!"
"Shit.." She mumbled. She fell over on her side as Half-Sack took a quick left.
Harlie followed Chibs inside the store. "Chibs! Lets go!" She yelled. She jumped as he sent a shot flying toward the guy behind the counter. She remembered seeing him around the clubhouse a few times.
"Jesus!" Edmond yelled, dodging the bullet. "What the hell's the matter with ya?" His accent was clearly Irish.
Chibs grabbed him by the back of the neck, slamming him down on the counter. "Explain to me."
"Explain what?" He said, his voice full of panic.
"Why you McBasatards are selling guns to the piece of shit that blew me up?" Chibs growled.
"Christ man. The feds were all over you guys." Edmond said quickly. "What was I supposed to do?"
"That's not the answer I'm lookin' for." Chibs snapped.
Harlie grabbed Half-Sack's arm when she heard someone cock a shotgun. "Let him go, Chibs." The man said.
"Put the gun down." Chibs held his hands up. "Down." He rolled his eyes, placing it on the counter.
From the back, Harlie saw another man step into the room. He had gray hair and dark skin. "Careful, brother." Jimmy O said, looking over at Chibs."You'll pop your sutures." He got a good look at Harlie before continuing. "You got every right to blow his head off. Things when sideways when McKeavy died." Harlie knew that name. She'd heard it mentioned around the clubhouse a few times. "I shoulda been stateside to handle that transition." He made his way around the counter, looking Harlie up and down. "Now she is beautiful, Filip. Fiona told me this was your old lady.."
Harlie froze, looking directly at Chibs Fear flashed in her eyes. "It was too late.." Chibs ignored his statement."Sons got a new pipeline."
"No, they don't.." Jimmy smirked, running his fingers up her arm. "What's your name, lovey?"
"H-Harlie.." She stuttered, shrinking away from him. She almost fainted from relief when she heard the door swing open.
The other man with the gun, Cameron, aimed the gun at Jax as he walked through the door.
"Enough.." Jimmy shook his head. "Enough!" Jax and Cameron both lowered their guns.
Harlie rushed to Chibs, wrapping her arms around his chest. It wasn't really helping her situation, but what did this Jimmy guy know?
"How are ya, Jackson?" Jimmy asked, leaning back against the counter.
"Been better, Jimmy. C'mon. Lets get outta here." Jax said calmly.
"C'mon.." Chibs mumbled to Harlie, leading her towards the door. "You are not my VP anymore, Nomad." He spat. Harlie watched the exchange of looks between the two. "Prospect, lets roll."
As Harlie slid into the van, she caught Jimmy O still watching her at her. Something in his stare really scared her. She knew what he was capable of and she afraid he was going to come after her next.
