The party was already in full swing by the time we got there. It was the first Friday party since we all got out, so it was packed with Sons, hang arounds, sweet butts, croweaters and old ladies. I cut the engine and let Katerina climb off before swinging my leg over and getting off the bike. I put our helmets on the seat and then wrapped my arm around my woman's waist.
"Kat!" Lauren rushed over to us and wrapped her arms around Katerina's neck. I dropped my arm from her and gave Chibs a brotherly hug.
"Everything get cleaned up from earlier?" Chibs asked quietly. I nodded and grabbed a beer from one of the croweaters bringing drinks around.
"Yeah, Jax tell you what happened? Fucking soul mate, brother." I smirked as Chibs laughed and nodded. Katerina was showing her ring to Lauren and smiling brightly.
"You inking her?" Chibs asked as he offered me a cigarette. I nodded and accepted the smoke.
"Marrying her too. Anything that makes that woman more mine, I'm doing it." Chibs looked at me with surprise for a minute before giving me a congratulatory hug and slap on the back.
"What about you? She told me your girl's knocked up." I said, nodding towards the two women who were deep in conversation. He brushed his hair out of his face and nodded.
"Aye, she is. She's a good girl. Just don't want to rush shit like I did with Fiona." I saw the hurt in his eyes that normally flashed up when he mentioned his wife. I nodded; hoping I'd never truly understand what that was like.
"Happy, haven't seen you around much since you got back, doll." Kendall, one of the regular sweet butts, ran her hand over my kutte and smiled up at me. I shook my head and grabbed her wrist.
"Leave," I growled, pushing her wrist away. She pouted and headed off to find another Son. I caught Katerina looking at me and smirking as Lauren gestured with her hands about something.
"You giving that shit up?" Chibs asked as we headed over to the garage so I could check on Kat's car.
"Yep." I opened the door and saw the 350Z up on the lift. The bumper was taken off and sitting over in the corner. I nodded and headed back out to the party behind Chibs.
I bent down and kissed Katerina on the neck as Chibs and I headed into the clubhouse. She laughed and tried to smack me as I dodged her. I caught Lauren eyeing me suspiciously.
"Happy, Happy, Happy, you bring that sweet piece of ass with you?" Tig asked with a wink as I walked up to the bar. I shot him a glare and pointed down at my knife.
"Keep talking, Tig." I growled as a croweater brought me some whiskey. He laughed and nodded while Kendall slid her hands down from his shoulder to his chest. She smiled over at me and I knew she was trying to make me jealous.
"Surprised you left the ol' lady outside, killah." Opie said with a smirk as he grabbed a beer for himself and one for Lyla. I looked up at him and downed my whiskey.
"She okay?" I asked as Kendall frowned at the news that I had an ol' lady. Opie laughed and nodded.
"She's fine, brother." Opie smacked a hand on the back of my kutte before heading over to a couch with Lyla. I poured another drink and leaned back in my normal barstool.

"I'm really happy for you, Katerina. It's just kind of fast isn't it?" Lauren and I were sitting on top of a picnic table and watching Juice and Bobby argue about different kinds of weed. I shook my head and put my beer down.
"Not really. We've been together for a long time, he's just been inside. You're having a baby with Chibs and you two haven't been together all that long." I pointed out as she nodded and hitched a shoulder.
"I know, I know. I just want to make sure you're happy, K. He still scares me." She gave me a weak smile and I couldn't help laughing.
"He's intense, Lauren. There's no reason for you to be afraid of him though. You're my best friend and his brother's baby mama. You're double safe." I said with a laugh as her smile grew. I pulled her off her picnic table and headed inside.
"Missing your man?" She asked with a laugh. I nodded and pulled her along faster. If I could walk fast in heels, she could walk fast in flats. She wasn't pregnant enough to be slow yet.
Happy was sitting at the bar by Tig and Chibs. The girl that had pushed up on him outside was now hanging all over Tig. I knew bad boys drew girls in, but some of these girls were ridiculous. Lauren frowned as a redhead walked over and took Chibs' hand. He and Happy seemed so deep into their conversation, that Chibs didn't even notice the girl. I felt Lauren shrink back a little bit and I looked over at her.
"No, Lauren. That's your man. I get that you're in a delicate condition, but you need to put your foot down if he's not. I don't think he even sees her." I said with a shake of my head. Lauren nodded and grabbed my hand, now dragging me along behind her. The beers I'd had started to work together with my heels and make it hard for me to keep up, but Lauren didn't even care.
"Move along, ginger." Lauren had her hands on her hips facing the redhead that had her hands on Chibs' shoulders. She stopped her massage just long enough to smile and ignore Lauren. Chibs waved her off and she yanked her hands back.
"Don't even think about it." I growled as she eyed Happy. She walked up to me and glared down at me.
"Barbie, you need to learn how things work around here." She hissed and reached out towards Happy. I grabbed her arm and yanked her forward, ducking under her arm and twisting it behind her back. I knew if I put much pressure on it, her shoulder would get dislocated.
"It works like this. You touch my man or my girl's man and you'll need to learn to give a hand job with a dislocated shoulder." I whispered into her ear before shoving her away. Happy's arm snaked around my waist and he kissed me on the neck again.
"You're sexy when you get jealous, darlin." Happy nipped at my ear and grabbed a handful of my ass. I grabbed him by his bottom jaw and kissed him hard. He moaned and bit my bottom lip.
"You two are like fucking teenagers." Tig said with a laugh. The girl from outside had moved to his lap and was trailing fingers down his neck. Happy flipped him off and kissed me again. I felt Tig grab my hand and almost jerked back reflexively. He looked from my ring to Happy and then to me with a bright smile.
"I'll be damned, brother. Locking it down with a broad you met locked up. Congrats!" He laughed and shoved the girl off his lap. He clapped Happy on the back and shook his hand before backing up slowly.
"Can I hug you if I promise not to grab your ass?" I rolled my eyes and nodded. He laughed and pulled me into a warm hug. Happy nudged him with his boot after the hug went on a little long. We both laughed and Happy smiled as I moved back to him.
"Might as well tell everybody." Chibs said with a laugh as he pulled Lauren onto his lap. I smiled at the happiness I could read in her eyes. Happy shrugged and stood up from his barstool. I yelped as he picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. The shorts I was wearing barely covered my ass as it was.
Happy whistled loudly and waited until the music was turned down and everybody had his or her eyes on us. I elbowed him hard on the back. He laughed and put me down gently.
"For everybody that doesn't know, this is Katerina. Earlier tonight, she agreed to marry me and take my crow." Happy said in a slightly louder than normal speaking voice. I knew half of the crowd couldn't hear him. Tig laughed and stood up on the bar.
"Hap's marrying Recker!" Happy smiled and nodded at Tig's much louder announcement and cheers erupted from his brothers and the old ladies. Clay walked up and hugged him tightly with a congratulatory slap on the back. Lyla ran over and flung her arms around my neck.
"Kat! Congratulations!" She screamed before peppering my cheek with kisses. I laughed and hugged her back. We entertained hugs from club and old ladies before sneaking outside with a bottle of Jack and two glasses.
"I want it here." I said, tapping in between my shoulder and my neck. Happy smiled and tugged my shirt down a little.
"Right here?" He asked, kissing just below my collarbone. I giggled at how the stubble on his face tickled me but nodded. He nodded and kissed it again.
"It's going to hurt, but I'll put it there if you're sure." I smiled and kissed him softly.
"I'm sure. I want to be able to see it any time I want, and it's close to my heart." I said as I traced the side of his neck with my nails. He nodded and rubbed a hand over my bare leg. I picked up my vibrating phone and read a message from Kiara. I smiled and texted her back as Happy pulled me onto his lap and read the screen over my shoulder.
"Your sister's coming in?" He asked as he ran his hand around the back of my neck and then down my shoulder. I nodded and groped his thigh.
"Happy, I want you." I pouted as the feel of his skin turned me on. He laughed and moved his hand up to my chin.
"How did you survive when I was locked up, baby?" His raspy voice did nothing to calm my desire to get his clothes off. I shrugged and reached my hand back and wrapped it around the back of his neck.
"Batteries and thinking about you." I whispered honestly. He laughed and turned me around to face him. I looked up as I saw Happy's brothers hurrying out of the clubhouse.
"Hap, we gotta go." Clay announced as I went ahead and hopped out of his lap. He sighed and kissed me quickly.
"Here, this is to my dorm. Second door on the left. Get some sleep, Kat." He kissed me again as he pulled his helmet off and handed me mine to take inside. I gave him a little smile and nodded before heading inside.
"Girl's night?" I asked Lauren as I wrapped my arm through hers. She laughed and nodded. I looked over at Lyla and Tara who shook their heads.
"Sorry ladies, we've got little ones at home." Tara said as she gave me a hug. I shrugged and nodded before hugging Lyla as well. Lauren and I headed over to the pool table as the party thinned out quickly.
"Did you know Chibs is married?" Lauren asked as I racked the pool balls. I dropped a ball on my foot and cussed loudly.
"What? No, I didn't know that. Did you?" I asked incredulously. She nodded and laughed a little. We abandoned the pool table and headed over to a couch to talk about Chibs and the family I knew nothing about. I ended up falling asleep on the couch across from Lauren before we even made it back to the dorms.
