"Is there a reason you cut his finger off?" Katerina was looking at me with an amused grin as I fought to hold Harley still. He was normally a well-trained dog, but you add water and he turned into fucking gremlin.

"He said you two were still going to get married. Cut it off so he couldn't wear a ring. Not really as meaningful now." I said with a laugh. She blushed a little and shampooed the blood off of Harley's muzzle. As I looked at Katerina, I realized she shouldn't be okay with having just killed her ex fiancé. It made me wonder if she was in shock or if there was something I didn't know.

"Who was your first?" I asked once we'd gotten Harley rinsed off. He was laying in her lap as she dried his ears with a towel. The lack of a questioning look told me I'd been right.

"Kiara's boyfriend. It was a couple years ago. She called me and said she and Kevin were coming out to visit me. She sounded excited and I was happy until she walked into my apartment. I could tell something was off and he was too nice to me. We went out to a club without him and I found out he'd gotten pissed and broke her arm at one point. I told her I'd kill him if he ever hurt her again." She took a deep breath and kissed the top of Harley's head before letting him go run around in the yard.

"When we got home, he was pissed she'd gotten drunk and he slugged her. I grabbed a knife from the kitchen and stabbed him in the chest a few times. I don't think I actually meant to kill him, but he died anyways." I pulled her to me as tears finally started to fall down her face. She sobbed into my chest and I held her tighter.

"I'm a killer, Happy. I don't know what to do." She looked up at me and I felt sick. If she was freaking out this much about killing two people, the conversation we were about to have could be the last one, but I couldn't hide it from her anymore.

"Katerina, you've got to calm down. What are you doing?" I looked back in the house and relaxed a little when I didn't see anyone. She had started stripping off my shirt in front of the door. It suddenly occurred to me that she'd been wearing nothing but my shirt since Declan busted the house up. Luckily, she was short enough that it covered everything.

She pulled on my hand and led me over towards the hot tub. I shook my head and laughed as she threw the top off and climbed in. If we were going to talk about killing people, it might as well be in the hot tub. I tossed my jeans into a chair and joined her in the water.

"You should know I've killed people, Kat." She ran her hand down my arm and nodded.

"How many?" She asked quietly. I looked into her eyes and tried to gauge what her reaction would be.

"Twelve that I did myself. There's more during firefights and shit, but I don't keep track." I said with an honest shrug. Katerina inhaled deeply and took a minute before she nodded.

"Do you think that changes anything, Happy? I kind of figured that's what you by the comment about getting away with stuff. It's too late or I'm too stupid but I love you." As soon as she stopped talking, I yanked her over to me. I glanced down at her before slamming my mouth onto hers and gripping the round, firmness of her ass.

She slid forward and lowered herself onto me. I felt her breath hitch a little as she took more of me in. The way she moaned made me want to never stop fucking her. She knew exactly how to roll her hips so that I didn't always have to do all the work. I normally didn't get to relax and have a woman do the work, but with Kat, she was sometimes rougher than I was and I loved it.

"Babe, I want to try something." She whispered as she slid back up slowly. I nodded as I watched her nipples come back up out of the water. She smirked and pulled all the way off of me.

"Huh? Kat, wait." She had moved forward and I realized what she was doing. She scowled at me and started to move down. I grabbed her hips and held her still as I shook my head.

"Seriously? I thought that you'd want to. That night at my desk." She stopped talking as I dipped a hand down and teased her backdoor with my middle finger.

"Babe, I want to but you wouldn't like it if you took it all at once. You got to work up to it, Kat." I nipped at her neck and slid my finger into her a little. She shifted a little and I smirked.

"If that's your 'I told you so' look, then I suggest you stop." Her voice showed how turned on it had her. Listening to her talk when she was turned on or mad was like being with a completely different person. That accent made me want to shove her back down on to me and deal with her experiment later.

"The fuck?" She jerked away from me and dipped down into the water, covering her chest with her arms. I followed her angry glare and saw Miles standing at the back door from the kitchen.

"Shit, sorry I'll come back later." Miles was backing away as I got out of the hot tub.

"You want to quit fucking staring at my woman?" I growled as I pulled my jeans on. He shook his head and peeled his eyes away from her.

"No, I mean, sorry. I just came to get the car. We finished that other thing and I know her car needs to be fucked, I mean fixed." I grabbed him by the back of the neck and shoved him back inside. He stumbled in and kept backing away from me. My blood was boiling at the idea of what was going through his head.

"You're pissing me off. Like a lot. Unless I call you, don't fucking come back to my house. Her car doesn't look brand new and I'll make sure you never see that top rocker." I slammed the keys into his chest and pushed him towards the door. I'd never seen him move as fast as he did to get out of the house.

"Happy!" Her voice sounded husky and desperate as she called out for me. I huffed and walked back out to the porch. She was already out of the hot tub and stood by the door to the bedroom in my t-shirt again. Harley headed into the kitchen and I closed that door before following Recker into the bedroom.

"Baby, please." I whimpered as Happy licked at my clit. I was so worked up from the fingering of my back door and his tongue work that I just wanted him to let me find my release. Instead, he was teasing me and keeping what I wanted out of reach.

"What do you want, Katerina? You want me inside you? You want me to fuck your pussy, baby?" His dark eyes trailed over my body as he pulled up from between my legs. I bit my lip and tried to figure out what I wanted exactly. I just knew I wanted him.

"I thought you wanted to try something else." He growled before biting at my nipple. I moaned as he trailed his tip over my opening without going in. I nodded and tried to steady my breathing as the sharp pricking of his teeth made me want to take control, but I knew he wasn't in the mood for that anymore. This was one of those times that he wanted control.

"If you answer that phone I will shoot you." I growled as his phone started vibrating on the bedside table. He put a hand over my mouth and answered it as I scowled at him. The call was short, but I could tell he was about to leave by the look in his eyes. I sighed and curled my legs up as he closed the phone.

"What are you doing?" He asked as he moved back over me and took his hand off of my mouth.

"You're leaving aren't you?" I scowled as he nodded and laughed. He grabbed my hip and rolled me over.

"I'm not leaving you unsatisfied, woman. Do not tell me to stop unless you can't stand it anymore. Got it?" I nodded and swallowed hard, knowing that it was going to hurt. The best thing about Happy was he wasn't afraid to hurt me just enough and it always felt crazy good.

He pulled his rings off of his right hand and passed them up to me as he slammed into me. I was about to ask why he took his rings off when I felt his fingers slide into the other hole we'd been experimenting with. I moaned and went down onto my forearms as he slowed down a little. I felt him pull out and tried to relax.

"Fuck." I half moan and half screamed as he entered me slowly. He barely went in but it felt like nothing I'd experienced before. It hurt like hell and felt too good at the same time. He paused for a minute before he started moving in and out. Each time he pushed into me, it was a little further than he had before. I felt like my insides were going to explode with a deadly climax.

"God, Kat. You're so fucking wet. You like this, huh?" His voice was even raspier than normal as he fingered me with his left hand and held onto my hip with his right. He thrust in a little harder than he had been and I screamed loudly as I came all around him. I barely registered the groans coming from him as he let himself release as well.

The electricity running through me was incredible. I panted and clawed at the sheets as it finally subsided. Happy was already getting cleaned up once I rolled onto my back and looked over at him.

"Yeah, we're doing that again but you're washing the fucking sheets." Happy said with a satisfied smile. I moved my gaze down to the sheets and realized they'd gotten incredibly wet during what I would call a successful experiment.

"I think I can do that." I said with a laugh as I blushed a little. He nodded as he grabbed a t-shirt from the dresser.

"Yeah, I'm sure. This shouldn't take long. We're going out tonight. Like dinner and shit so just be ready by eight." He said before kissing me goodbye. I nodded sleepily and climbed out of bed to go take a shower.

It had already been an extremely long day. From the fight and sex earlier to the deal with Declan and then a whole different kind of sex and now he wanted to go to dinner in a couple hours? I was almost eight years younger than him but he seemed to have a lot more energy than I did. Lucky for me though, I could take a nap while he went to do whatever outlaw stuff called him away.

"Hello?" I tried to sound awake as I answered the phone. Harley curled up against me, protesting against me getting out of bed. I heard Happy's laugh and knew he'd caught me.

"Get up, woman. I'm on my way." I blushed and ended the call as I hurried out of bed. Harley huffed and watched me closely as I flitted in and out of the closet. As comfortable as I was with Happy, we'd never been on an actual date so I was worried about what to wear.

I figured my car wouldn't be done, so I knew any dress or skirt was out of the question. I finally settled on a pair of black, sequined shorts and a sheer, flowing shirt and a pair of black heels. Lyla's comment on my shoes inspired me to start wearing them more often. After all, Happy was plenty tall enough for me to still be shorter than him in three-inch heels.

I pinned my hair back so it was half up and half down just as the sound of Happy's motorcycle filled the air. I grinned and threw on some lip gloss before heading down the hall. The living room looked strangely empty without the bookshelf, but I tried not to focus on it.

"Damn, Kat. Give me a minute I gotta change jeans." Happy kissed me on the cheek before heading back into the bedroom. He reappeared in darker jeans, a clean white button down and his kutte a minute later. I smiled as we headed out to his bike.

"We're going to dinner but there's a party at the clubhouse later if you want to go." Happy said as he put a helmet on my head carefully. I nodded and gave him a smile. I didn't mind going to parties since Lyla, Lauren and Tara were normally there.

We rode out towards Lodi until we got to an authentic looking Japanese restaurant I hadn't heard of before. Happy walked beside me with his hand on my lower back as we entered the restaurant. The hostess looked from me to Happy and smiled nervously.

Happy and I didn't talk too much during dinner. We were content to just enjoy one another's company rather than make small talk. After a day like today, there wasn't much we could really talk about in public anyway. The waitress dropped the check off and I reached out for it.

"Kat, you're not paying." Happy said as he reached his hand out for the check. I pursed my lips at him but handed it over. He pulled out a wad of cash and paid the bill with a generous tip.

"Where are we going?" I called out over the engine as we turned off of the highway. He headed up into the mountains and ignored my question. I relaxed and enjoyed the ride as the day's heat started giving way to a cool night.

Happy stopped at a pull off overlooking several miles of vineyards. He held out his hand to help me off the bike like a gentleman. I took my helmet off and watched him as he walked out towards the edge of the cliff. I followed him slowly and slid my hand into his. He rubbed his thumb over mine and pulled me close.

"I never wanted an old lady. I always knew that if I had one, I'd lose focus or they couldn't handle what I do. Then you came along and fucked that all up. Now I don't think I could ever focus without you, Katerina." He looked down and me and gave me a small smile. I watched as he took a step away from me and got something out of the inside pocket of his kutte.

"Happy," I started getting nervous as he looked at the envelope in his hand. He passed it over to me and smiled.

"You can tell me where you want it, but I want you to have it." His words made me tear up as I looked down at the detailed drawing of crow with a long ribbon that said: Forever, For Always, and No Matter What. I bit down on my lip and looked up to see him holding his closed hand out to me.

"Marry me, Katerina Recker." Happy turned his hand over and opened it to reveal a beautiful, emerald cut diamond on a rose gold band. I couldn't hold my tears back any longer as I nodded and let him slide the ring on my finger before jumping up into his arms. He laughed as I wrapped my legs around his waist and kissed him deeply.

"Yes, Happy. Yes to everything." He nodded and kissed me again before setting me down and taking the drawing back from me. He put it back in his kutte carefully before pulling out his phone.

"Ma wanted me to call her as soon as you answered me." He said with a smile as he switched it to speakerphone. I slid underneath his arm and waited for her to pick up.

"Happy? What did she say?" She sounded as if she'd just woken up, but I could tell she was excited. He nodded at me and smirked.

"I said yes, of course!" I heard her squeal in happiness as she clapped. Happy laughed and hugged me to him. Fifteen months ago, if someone would have told me I'd be engaged to a member of the Sons of Anarchy that I'd met working in a prison, I would have had them committed. Now, I couldn't see life any other way.

"Do you want to go home or to the clubhouse?" I asked Katerina as she pulled her helmet on. She smiled and kissed me on the neck.

"Clubhouse. If we go home I'll just want to jump on you and I can't for a few more hours at least." She said with a laugh. I nodded and strapped my helmet on.

"A few hours, huh? You're gonna kill me, babe." She smacked my arm in response. I smirked and started the Harley.
