He, everyone. I'm so sorry it took so long for me to update. I will be updating more frequently again. Here's the next chapter and thanks everyone for sticking with me :)


While Abel is gone, Ava and Tara get to know each other. The one thing Tara keeps bringing up is Abel's involvement with the club. Tara knows how much power Ava holds over Abel and

she knows how much damage Ava can do to her son if she decides she can handle all the shit that comes along with this lifestyle now, and then later realizes she can't handle it.

"What are you getting at, Tara?" Ava asks her when she brought up Abel being a prospect in the club.

"What kind of life do you imagine having with Abel?" Tara asks her flat-out. "Because it won't be one you'll find in a fairytale book."

"I love him." Ava says simply.

"It will take more than love to make this work, honey." Tara tells her getting up to get a drink.

"Take the advice Gemma gave me. Let him tell you everything. Complete disclosure or this will never work out." She tells Ava honestly and gets up to check on dinner.

Ava is sitting on the couch playing tapping her fingers on the couch thinking about where she and Abel stand. When he graduates this year, what will happen to them? Ava pulls her head

away from the path of the future and gets up to get another beer.

As midnight rolls, Jax and Abel still hadn't come home. Tara and Ava are sitting in the living room watching reruns of ER. Ava is spread out on the couch with her leg dangling off and her

shoes on the floor. The door opened with a bang.

"Tara, we're back!" Jax hollers coming in and kissing Tara not noticing Ava on the couch. Abel follows in.

"Dad, knock it off!" Abel laughs seeing Ava still here. "You stayed." He tells her.

"Hi." Ava says sitting up avoiding looking at Jax.

"Sorry, Ava. I got a little distracted by my wife." Jax laughs and asks if there's dinner left.

"Yeah, in the oven." Tara tells him. "How'd everything go?" Tara asks wanting to know about the Garrett situation.

"It's almost over with. We got it handled, ma." Abel says taking Ava's hand and pulling her off the couch.

"We'll see you guys in the morning." Abel says walking upstairs with Ava in tow.

"I don't want to hear any noises in the middle of the night, you guys!" Tara tells them.

"You know, babe. If I remember correctly, we made a lot of noise when we were their age." Jax tells her laughing while putting his hands on her hips.

"I can't believe you just did that!" Ava whispers to Abel quietly as they make their way into his bedroom.

"Don't worry about it. Just focus on us right now." Abel tells her pulling her into him and kissing his way down to her neck.

"Hey." Ava tells him giggling. "Wait." She says trying to unravel herself from him. "What about Garrett?"

"We got him. It'll be over real soon." Abel tells her thinking about how much fun he'll have turning Garrett into a distant fucking problem.

"You're incredible." Ava whispers to him biting on his neck in turn. She starts walking forward in front of Abel and leading both of them to the bed. Landing on the bed, Ava straddles him

and takes off her tank-top leaving her only in her champagne-laced bra and black jeans. She starts grinding on top of him and runs her fingertips down his chest to his belt. As she takes

his jeans off, she whispers in his ear that she loves him.

Abel takes initiative and flips them over, getting her out of her jeans leaving her only in her bra and thong.

As the night went on, Ava realized that with every kiss, every thrust, and every blood-boiling explosion, Abel is her future. The Sons are her future.
