That night I had a nightmare I hadn't had in a long time. I dreamt of the night of the attack.

When I woke up, strong arms were around me. All I could think was that it was happening again. I squirmed and tried to fight, but as they were the first time, the arms were too strong.

"Easy love, easy. Its only a dream." I recognized that voice, I looked around the dimly lit area. I wasnt in an ally in Glasgow, I was in Chibs' apartment, it wasnt gangsters holding me down, it was Chibs trying to comfort me through all my fighting. I took in a shaky breath and relaxed into his arms.

"Oh god, Im so sorry." I whispered into his chest.

"It was only a bad dream, everything is alright." He said, softly. I wanted to cry, but I refused. I refused to be seen as that vulnerable. I slid my arms around his waist and held onto him.

"Thank you." I said quietly. My head hurt a little from last night, but really thats it. Which is impressive considering how much we drank.

"There is nothing to thank me for burd." He said. I sat up and looked at him.

"Ye barely know me, ye' yer holdin' onto some of me darkes' secre's . Ye respec' me enough tha' ye decided ta wait when ye learned of them. And ye were there when I was thrashin' aboot. There is plen'y ta thank ye fer Chibs." He looked down as if he were slightly embarrassed."Ye are one of the kindes' men I have come across in a long time lad, an' one of the more attractive ones. Fer all the faul's ye think ye have, yer lovin', yer kindness, an' who ye are make up fer them." I touched his scars lightly, he leaned into my touch. "I don' know if yer worried aboot the way ye look with the Grin, but le' me tell ye tha' ye are the same man, or which ever man ye chose ta ' sittin' before me is a handsome man tha' any burd would be lucky ta have." He looked at me.

"Lass, any loon would be lucky ta have ye,they jus' don' know it." I smiled, wishing I could believe him. But looking into his eyes I saw that he knew he was lucky, and I could believe that this loon cared for me. He kissed me, the attraction I had felt last night when we kissed seem more prominent now. I felt like I had to have him. I heard a phone ring, thinking it was his, I ignored it.

"That one is yers lass." He said. I sighed,

"I guess I had better answer it." I said as i got up and walked over to my jacket, where the phone was. "'Allo?" I answered, it was Clay.

"So I remembered what you said about a powerful ally, how would you and your girls feel about helping out a deal?We think the Mayans might try to crash the party."

"Aye, le' me round them up and pu' it to a vote. Ye mos' like'y have our support.

"The drop is at noon, we'll leave from the garage at 11:30."I looked at the clock it was barely seven.

"Alrigh' we'll be there." I said. I then called the girls and told them what was going on,they were willing to help, so it was on.

"So, the Devils Daughters are helping with a deal." Chibs said, I turned and looked at him as he sauntered over.

"Aye, it looks tha' way. Are ye goin'?" I asked.

"Aye, thats what the knock on the door was las' night." He said, i nodded.

"None of tha' haver in fron' of the clubs though." I said, it was his turn to nod.

"Of course burd." He was quite a bit taller than me, but I didn't mind, most people were. Being as I was only five foot two. He leaned down and kissed me. I loved the way he touched me, it sent little tingles of electricity down my arms and my back. I had to suppress a groan of disappointment when he pulled away.

"Don' look at me like that, there will be plenty more, but we should eat." He was right.

"Alrigh' ye bastart, wha' are we goin ta eat?"

"Are ye good with bacon an' eggs?" He asked, moving into the kitchen.

"Only if you have salsa and a tortilla." I replied following him and pulling myself onto a counter.

"Yer in luck lass, I have both salsa and tortillas. He said digging through his refrigerator. I smiled at him and watched as he started cooking. Planting little kisses on me every now and then.

"So what did you do before the club?" He asked. I bit my lip, my past was gruesome.

"I uh, I was a hired gun. A mercenary really. Before the attack I was a paramedic. But people in pain don' like seeing a girl with nasty scars like mine so I did what I could. A couple months ago, a job brough' me to the States where I met the lassies in the club. I finished the job, go' a visa, now i'll be Stateside fer a while." I said.

"You, a wee little thing, a mercenary?" He asked smiling.

"Aye, when Im no' fightin' in me sleep im very good."I told him.

"Ye almos' kicked my arse while ye were asleep, Im sure fightin' ye while yer awake is no' easy." We talked while we ate. When we finished it was only like seven thirty.

"Do ye mind if I use yer shower?" I asked as I did the dishes.

"Aye, I do. But yes ye can." I smiled, then turned and kissed him.

"Me stuff is still on me bike. I'll be right back." I said. I pulled on my jacket and went downstairs barefoot, I grabbed my saddlebags off my bike and went back up.

"Shower is down the hall on the lef'." Chibs said. I was tempted to invite him to come with me, but I wasn't sure how it would go over. I bit my lip as I pulled off my jacket.

"Would ye, uh, like ta join me?" I asked, he smiled.

"Aye I would." He stalked towards me, I set my bag on the ground and moved backwards, his hand shot out and hooked my waist, pulling me towards him. I giggled and kissed him, but then I pushed him back and pulled off my shirt while dancing away from him and towards the bathroom. He pulled off his shirt and followed. I admired his chest and abs while I shimmied out of my pants. He smiled as he looked at me, he pulled me towards him.

"God yer beautiful." He said before kissing me, I heard him turn on the water.I slid my hands down his chest to his belt, where I began unbuckling it. He unhooked my bra as his pants fell to the floor. I started to feel shaky.

"Don' be afraid love. All ye have ta do is tell me if ye don' want to go any further an' Ill stop. I won' be mad, I won' ignore ye."He said as if reading my mind. I nodded, not trusting my voice.I pressed my lips to his, loving the way our nearly naked bodies felt pressing against one another. I let my hands pull his boxers down, he broke the kiss and looked into my eyes. He did so the whole time he pulled my panties off. I stepped into the shower and he followed. He kissed me, pushing me back into the streaming water. I felt it run over our bodies. I looked up at him and smiled. I grabbed the soap and ran it across his chest, this would be a good way for me to explore and actually get clean. He watched me carefully as I explored, soap in hand. When I finished feeling every curve and line of his body, he took the soap from me.

"Find anythin' ye like darlin'?" He asked. I smiled.

"I think I did, bu' i'll have ta find oot later." He kissed me and followed my lead with the soap, except he had moved behind me and started with my back. He wrapped his arms around me to reach my front I closed my eyes and rested my head against his chest, pressing my body to his. Everywhere he touched was set on fire. It felt like he was done far too soon.

"Ye have no idea what yer doing to me." He whispered into my ear, it was almost a growl, kissing my neck. Instinctively my head rolled to the other side giving him a better shot at my neck.

"I think I 'ave a pretty good idea." I said as he kissed and his hands touched,i was feeling breathless and light headed. I could feel his own reaction against my body.I turned to face him. I didnt know if I was ready to go any further right put his hands on my face so that his thumbs ran with my cheekbones.

"If yer no' ready ye' I understand." He said softly.I closed my eyes, way to ruin a perfectly good moment, I cursed it didnt have to end. I was ready. Filip was being kind and I felt he would never take advantage of me. We had that connection. I understood him and he understood me.I opened my eyes and looked at him

"Im ready." I said. He blinked and looked at me.

"Are ye sure lass?" He asked.

"Yes." I kissed me,slowly at first, then our passion and need grew. He turned off the water and picked me up I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. All while kissing me he carried me from the bathroom to the laid me down on his bed and hovered over he sat up and positioned himself at my entrance,I moaned as i felt his head inside me,just enough to drive me mad. He looked at me, waiting for me to tell him to stop.

"Do it." I said , looking at him. He slid into me slowly , watching me as i experienced the foreign sensation. He leaned over me and kissed me.

"You are beautiful." He whispered softly. I looked up into his eyes. I wanted to know how to make him feel what I was feeling. The happiness especially. I rolled my hips experimentally, his eyes closed in pleasure and a little moan escaped him.

"Ye are the bes' thing tha' has 'appened to me." I said. "Tell me how to make you as happy as I am." I kissed him.

"No love, this one is all aboot you."He said.

"Yer pleasure will bring me mine." I said, I rolled so that I was ontop. I put my hands on his chest.

"Roll yer hips again."I did as he asked, loving the feeling, I moaned. "Thats it darling, slower, take yer time."I leaned down, bringing a new movement I played with. His hands went to my hips and he qued me on what to do. I kissed him, deeply, he pulled me closer.

"Lean back, against my knees." He said sitting up.

"Oh."I moaned as I did. I closed my eyes and enjoyed it i let my head roll back. I gasped when i felt his mouth on my breast.

"Fuck, Brónach ye have no idea wha' ye've done ta me." He growled. I felt him roll, I was under him. He picked up the pace, pushing harder than I could. I felt my mind grow even foggier.

"Chibs." I moaned, grabbing the sheets.

"I fucking love it when you say my name." He moved faster.

"Oh, Chibs." I moaned as he hit something that made me see stars. I felt a tightness in my belly. His movements started become faster, more frantic.

"Hey Chibs- Oh my god,what the fuck?" I looked over Chibs' shoulders to see Halfsack standing in the . I got angry.

"Either fucking join in or leave." I moved to leave then stopped.

"Were you joking?" He asked.

"Leave fucking Prospect!" Chibs roared. The boy moved quickly and almost ran into the door.I pulled him down into a kiss. I felt my fingers scratch his back as the tension was almost unbearable.

"Fuck, Chibs yes." I moaned as the tension released and I orgasimed.

"Oh god." Chibs groaned, pulling out of me. I was breathless. I put my head on his chest as he wrapped an arm around me.

"I had better go see what Half Sack wants." He sighed, standing up, he moved to the dresser and pulled on clothes.

"Oi. could ye bring me my bag while yer out there?" I asked. He smiled.

"Of course burd." He said kissing me he disappeared and then reappeared with it in hand.

"Thanks love." I said. I stood and started dressing, I felt him watching me.

"Go see wha' the Prospec' needs." I said, pulling on my pants.

"Bu' I would rather watch you." He said.

"Im here until wednesday, ye can watch me some other time ." I said. It was sighed but left. I finished dressing, then i styled my short and wild pixie cut and put some eyeliner and mascara on. I went out to the main area of the apartment to see Chibs and Half Sack talking. I tried not to listen in, it was rude,but Chibs pulled me down into his lap.

" Clay says that if you want to try to sell some ammo to the Niners you're welcome to." Half Sack said to me. I nodded.

"Thanks lad." I said. It was almost ten.

"We should get over to the garage." Chibs said, Half Sack nodded. We all stood, I pulled on my jacket and Chibs pulled on his kut. I grabbed Half Sack's shoulder.

"Ye come bargin' in on me like tha' again laddy, and they'll have ta change yer name ta No Sack."I said opening a butterfly knife, the boy's eyes widened. And Chibs laughed. I put away the knife and we all went down to the bikes.

"Ill follow you." I yelled over the roar of engines. I still didnt know Charming very well. The boys nodded and we rode over to the garage. It was a beautiful day, I enjoyed the sunshine and warmth as we rode.A bunch of the girls were already there, I was only missing Dawn.

"Oi, wheres Dawn?" I asked.I got shrugs for answers.

"Has any one seen Tig?" Clay asked coming out of the garage.

"They're probably together." I said.

"Well, we'll start without them. Heres the deal site."Jax said, putting a map down on a work bench.

"Easily defendable."I said nodding.

"We want you girls to simply be muscle, the only one to talk will be Smiles, and thats when she makes her deal."Clay said.

"If they have something they need to say, they should be able too. We wont interfere with yer business." I said. He nodded and i left to talk to the girls as I was walking away I heard Chibs talking to Clay.

"Smiles there was a hired gun for a while before she started the club." I couldnt hear Clay's response.

"Whats going on Smiles?" Rosemary asked.
"We have a chance to sell ammo to the niners, Clay is allowing us to go, we'll look like extra muscle. We are no' goin' ta interfere with his business, an' the lads aren' goin' ta interfere with ours." I said. They nodded.

"Sounds good." They said.

"Where the fuck is Dawn?" I asked.

"Looks like she just showed." I looked at a clock, she pushed it. She shot me an apologetic look.

"Alright we're all here, lets go." Clay said. We followed the Sons up to the rendezvous where we sat quietly. Soon two cars rolled up, and ten men got out.

"Whats this Clay?" One asked, gesturing to the Daughters.

"Partners. They've got something you might want." I nodded to the black man.

"You got our AK's?" He asked.

"Yeah, we do."They made the trade.

"Now, the Devil's Daughters here run ammo, I suggest you talk to them." Clay said. The black man smiled.

"Are they friends of yours?" He asked, Clay nodded. "Friends of Yours are friends of mine." He turned to me.

"How many cases?"He asked.

"We 'ave four righ' now. $200 a case, ye can' get it cheaper anywhere else." He nodded.

"Thats pretty cheap." He turned to Clay."They on the up and up?" He asked.

"The product is top notch."The man nodded.

"Its a deal. We'll take it." I smiled, he handed me the money. I shook his hand, and the girl's handed his boys the cases, and with that, the deal was done.

"Contac' Clay if ye wan' more. He can reach me an' He'll se' somethin' up fer me." Laroy nodded, then he and his gangsters got into the cars and drove off.

"Why don't you girls come back to the Clubhouse with us and have a drink." Clay said.

"Thank ye." I said after getting a general nod of approval from the girls.

"Let's roll." He said and we all rode out. The Devil's Daughters followed the Sons of Anarchy back to the clubhouse. There were other Sons there, we were celebrating the new partnership. I talked with most of them, showed them some tricks with the butterfly knife.

"Ye know those are illegal in California righ'?" Chibs asked.

"Aye, bu' so are AK's an' their ammo." I said. Everyone smiled. I twirled the knife."Anyone wan' ta see a nea' trick?" I asked. The general consensus was yes. "I need a volunteer." I smiled.

"Wha' are ye up to?" Chibs asked

"Scare tactics." I smiled.

"Oi, Prospect ge' over here." He yelled. Half Sack jogged up.

"What's up?'' He asked.

"Smiles needs a volunteer." Juice said.

"Sure." He smiled. I stood up.

"Sit.'' I said.

"Chibs, hold him." I said, I grabbed his wrist and forced his hand flat on the counter. Chibs grabbed him. I placed my hand over his flipped open the knife and put it in between our fingers. I began singing 'The Rocky Road To Dublin' and stabbing in between our fingers, as I sung faster, my blade moved faster. Soon I was singing and moving at what seemed at an inhuman pace, Half Sack started screaming and everyone laughed. When I finished We let him up. He looked at his fingers, not a single cut. I winked at him.

"That was a good one." Juice said. Chibs smiled at me as I took a swig of my beer.

" Go' any others?" He asked. I smiled.

"A few." I replied.

"Smiles you should 86 with him. " Dawn said. I looked down.

"The 86?" Nearly everyone asked.

"I dont know. I haven' done tha' one in a while, It could ge' dangerous. If I mess up, drop the knife, it could hurt." I said. The devilish grins got wider.

" Again, I need a volunteer." I said, sighing.

"I go' this one."Chibs said,grinning.

" Clear this." I said gesturing to the counter. They all jumped to do so. "Alrigh' big boy lay down on the counter." I said. Taking a swig from a rum Devil's Daughters all gathered around, and it got the attention of most of the Sons.I took off my jacket, leaving me in a fishnet shirt that exposed my red bra. I jumped up onto the counter, a foot on either side of Chibs.

"Ye ready?" I asked.

"I don' even know wha's goin' ta happen." He said.

"The 86 is where I stand on one hand and do different tricks for 86 seconds, your job is to hold me keep me from falling over so I can concentrate on not dropping the knife on ye." I saw his eyebrow cock. The room fell silent.I closed the knife,put it in my mouth and looked at him, he nodded.

I put a hand of either side of his head. And got into a handstand. He reached up and grabbed my waist. I took the knife and began my different tricks.I watched him and he had trouble making eye contact, preferring to look up my Devils Daughters began the count, soon, the whole clubhouse was counting. There was once where I almost dropped it. But Chibs didn't say anything. When the count was up I put my feet down and stood up, the room applauded and I bowed.

"Jesus , there was a close one there burd." He said. I laughed and showed him my hand, there was blood trickling down my middle finger.

"Closer than ye think lad." I said, he chuckled."Jus' be glad they arn' screamin' fer a 69." I said.

"I don' think I wan' ta know." He said. I nodded, wrapping my finger in a napkin. "Yer a real piece o' work." He said. I smiled.

"I know." I lit a cigarette up, and took a drag.

"Rosemary leaned over."

"Ye should show them a 69." She said, laughing. I sighed.

"No." I said "I like this knife, I dont particularly want to se' it on fire." She pouted.

"Perhaps next time doll." I said, taking a sip out of the whiskey bottle.

" Now I really don' want to know. " He said.

"Alo' find it sexy." I shrugged. He raised an eyebrow. I smiled.

"Smiley get your ass over here." Dawn yelled. I sighed and stood up, I found her out back next to a boxing ring.

"Really? Ye wan' ta do do this now?" I asked, she nodded. I pulled off my fish net shirt and jumped into the ring with her. I cracked my knuckles and rolled my neck. I dropped into a fighting stance.

"What is going on here?" Clay asked.

"Alot of the girls like bare knuckle especially likes a good fight." Rosemary said.

I focused in on the fight and all too soon I had her on the mat, my boot on her chest.

"Alright you win you jerk."

"Don' whine lass, it's no' becomin'." I laughed helping her up. Rosemary handed me the bottle. I took a good swig from it.

"Any one else?" I asked. Chibs shrugged out of his kut, then pulled off his shirt.

"Lets go burd." He said. I smiled.

"Ye know me pas' ye sure?" I asked, he nodded.

"Clay should be able to see what his new allies can do."

"Well alrigh' then. " I said, I circled him,watching him move. He went to take a swing, I ducked and got him with a good body shot. He coughed.

"Nicely done sweethear'." He said.

"Yer stronger than ' ye have more weigh' ta move." I smiled. I ducked under a right hook and gave him a love tap on the nose. The crowd that gathered laughed. I took out his knee,he went down, and i caught him in a solid choke hold. He brought his elbow into my side, I let him up. People were cheering and laughing. Probably betting. I got a shot at his cheek, he stumbled backwards.

"Ye hit like a girl." He laughed.

"Ye don' wan' me ta hit like a man love." I said following him,he came around and caught my lip. I stumbled back and laughed. I spat blood. "I hi' like a girl? Ye hi' like my wee sister!" I yelled, we stood toe to toe and traded blows a bit.

"Alright, alright we get it youre both badass scotts now step down and let someone else have a turn in the ring." Tigger yelled. We turned simultaneously and stared at him.

"I aint backin' down." I said, and with that, I swept Chibs' legs out from under him, he hit the mat with a thud. I pinned him down.

"Fine ye win." Chibs said. Both of us had split lips, his nose was bleeding.I stood up and offered him a hand, he took it and stood up. I hopped out of the ring, Dawn handed me my shirt and my drink. I put my shirt on and then took a pull from the bottle. I turned and Chibs was there. I smiled.

"Ye are a good little fighter." He said.

"Told ye I was a mercenary, besides, I was goin' easy on ye." I replied. He put his arm around me and we walked back inside. We sat down on a couch,

"I've only been here two days and already there's been so much goin' on. I be' ye boys are never bored." I said, leaning against him.

"Sometimes it ge's tiring." He said. I looked up at him, and sighed.

"Well, I hope I don' tire ye ou'." I said, he chuckled. I felt his laugh rumble through his chest. I fell asleep in his arms, plastered.

I woke up in the clubhouse, the sun had barely risen and everyone was still passed out. I sat up, and Chibs' arm fell off me, though he didnt stir. I stood up and stretched. I lit up a cigarette and looked around, the place was wrecked. My lip and cheek were sore, but nothing debilitating, i rolled my neck and sighed. I didnt know what today held in store, but Im sure It will be fun, or at the very least exciting. I did not want to go back to Arizona.

"Yer up early." Chibs said, stretching.

"Sleepin' on a couch will do tha' ta me." I said.

"Come here lass." He said, I finished the cigarette and went over to pulled me into his lap. "I have some work at the garage today." He said

"Aligh'."I said. He smiled.

"I don' have to be here until noon." He smiled. It was barely six.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Why don' we head back ta my place an' have some fun." He suggested. I chuckled and bit my lip.

" I woul' like tha'."I said smiling. I kissed him. "Mind if I ride bitch?'' I asked. His smiled grew.

"Not if you don' mind taking off tha' silly wee thing ye cal' a shirt and wearing nothin' but yer bra, an' jacke'." He said. I chuckled, hes a cheeky one.

"Fine, Ill see wha' I can do."

"The jacket has ta stay open." He said. I took off the fishnet shirt and pulled on my jacket, leaving it open.

"Like this?" I nodded.

"Aye, like tha'." He smiled.

"Well then lets go daddy-o." I said, he laughed, and we navigated our way to the front of the club house. We got to Chibs' bike and I grabbed my helmet as he started it. I climbed onto the back and wrapped my arms around his waist. We set off to his apartment. I enjoyed leaning against him as he drove, it was oddly comforting. When we reached the apartment complex and parked, he turned around and swept me off the bike carefully. I put my helmet on the handlebars as we walked by.

"Yer such a wee thing, its hard ta imagine ye bein' a killer." He said.
"Well, ye have the split lip and a shiner ta prove tha' Im atleas' a fighter." I said, touching his lip gingerly.

"Aye, that was impressive." He said."Remind me never ta piss ye off." I laughed as he kicked open the door and set me down inside. He pushed me up against the wall, and shut the door. I looked up at the scott and felt my stomach tighten, could I really be falling in love with this man? I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck, he wrapped his around my waist,

"Is this just a three day fling Filip?" I asked, he frowned.

" I don' wan' it ta be jus' a three day fling. Ye deserve more than tha'." He said.

"Are ye ready for a long distance thing?" I asked, even though the Devil's Daughters would be up in Charming often, I wouldnt always be in Charming, and he wouldnt always be able to be in Arizona with me.

"I'm willing ta give it a go if ye are." He said, I bit my lip.

"I am, but we have ta be up fron' aboot everything. I don' expect ye ta stop yer partyin' on my accoun', an' Im alrigh' with it. So long as I am the only serious one." I nodded.

"I think we can work with it." He whispered.

"An' in a few years, if we're still a thing, we'll sit down an' talk aboot my visa and my nex' move." I said. He nodded, then leaned down and kissed me. Picking me up again, I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He pinned me against the wall and kissed me. It was anything but chaste, he elicited a few moans of pleasure from me. I let him push my jacket off my shoulders as i kissed his neck. He ran a finger down my spine sending delightful shivers over my skin. I pushed him back and stood on my own, I pushed him against the opposite entryway wall, kissing him. He seemed slightly surprised,i kissed down his neck, nibbling here and there. He seemed unsure all of a sudden.I pushed off his kut, and pulled up his shirt, he helped me get it over his head. I slid my hands over his chest, kissing his collar bone. I let my kisses trail lower, over the top of his pecks, I ran the tip of my tongue over one of his nipples. I smiled at the soft moan that rumbled in his chest. I unbuckled his belt and pants, letting them fall to the floor. I looked up at him, and licked my lip.

"Tell me wha' ya wan'." I said, my fingers playing with the waistband to his looked down through lidded eyes.

"I wan' ye to blow me." He said. I tsked a little,

"Surely ye can be more convincin' than tha' darling." I said, he looked down at me, I thoughtI saw his lip curl.

"I wan' ye to suck me." He said, more forcefully. His hand caught my neck and held me still as his lips crashed into mine. " I want yer perfect little lips around my cock, pleasuring me."He growled. I smiled, and kissed his neck, trailing kissed lower and lower. I hooked his boxer's waistband with my teeth and pulled them down. Then I did as he requested, I loved the responses I got from him. I felt him run a hand through my hair and pull it slightly. He moaned as I tried new things, I heard him grab the corner of the wall.

"Fuck me." He moaned as his came to his climax, when i had swallowed and made sure i hadnt made a mess, i looked up at him. His skin was slightly shiny with sweat, his normally pushed back hair was in disarray. He seemed breathless, but he pulled me up and kissed me.I was sure he could taste himself on my lips.

"How did I do?" I asked quietly when he pulled away.

"Ye did wonderfully." He assured me, I smiled.

"Yer no' jus' sayin' tha'?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No' at all love." he whispered. "But now its my turn."He said, and with that he picked me up and carried me to his bedroom. He tossed me onto the bed with ease. I bounced and giggled. He pulled off my boots, and the crawled onto the bed.

"I need ye ta trust me." He said. I nodded."Jus' relax burd." He smiled, pulling off my jeans. I was left in my bra and underwear, but not for long. He unhooked my bra as he kissed me, and discarded it. I felt exposed, and a little shy. I didnt know why, he had seen me before. He sat up and I crossed my arms over my chest.

"None of tha' lass." He said gently pulling them off. I bit my kissed my lips lightly, then down my neck, biting a little roughly in one area, i loved it though. He placed a kiss at the hollow of my throat, then in between my breasts. I watched him as he ran his tongue over one of my nipples, then take it into his mouth. A little mewl escaped my throat, as he played with my breasts. I was disappointed when he moved on, kissing down my stomach, then pulling off my underwear. I felt exposed and vulnerable again.

"I won' hur' ye." He murmured, kissing the inside of my knee, I watched curiously as he moved closer and closer to my wet core. When he reached it he looked up at me, I felt his breath across it. He held my gaze as he drew his tongue across it. It was new and strange, I almost squirmed, but held myself still. I gasped when he did it again, slower and with more pressure. He was moving excruciatingly slow, I rolled my hips.

"Oh god, please." I moaned.

"Please what?"He asked.I felt my head roll back.

"Dont stop." I was practically begging. I was putty in his hands' I felt his tongue work my core, I felt breathless and out of control, and soon I felt the tension in my stomach build, and build, I moaned his name and grabbed the sheets twisting them tightly as I felt my release coming, then all at once he stopped. I looked down at him, he crawled over the top of me.

"You'll be of no use to me if youre spent burd." He said, kissing me. I could taste myself on him, but I didnt care. I pulled him down closer, ignoring the metallic taste of blood that was coming from my lip. When he pulled away slightly, I was breathless, not from earlier, but from the kiss itself. I wanted more, i pushed myself up to kiss him when our lips met i twisted so that he was under me.

"Ye shouldn' worry aboo' me being the one spen'." I said looking down at him he chuckled. I guided him into me painfully slow, I could feel him getting restless under me. I could feel the power of him in between my legs.

"Yer a down righ' tease." He said, arching his back, his eyes fell shut. I leaned forward and nibbled at his ear,

"Aye, bu' yer lovin' every momen' o' this." I whispered, I felt his fingers trace down my spine. He gripped my hips tightly.

"I am." He breathed.I sat up and let him set the pace, guiding my hips with his hands.I felt the tension building.

"Oh, god, Im close." I moaned.

"Are ye goin' ta cum fer me ye dirty little girl?" He growled, he pushed himself up.

"Yes!" I was breathless. "Oh, Chibs yes!" I felt my release and his come at the same time. I pulled myself off of him and laid back on the pillows, my chest heaving.

"You, my little scott are amazing." He said, as he laid next to me.I felt a blush heating my already hot skin. I couldnt return the compliment, I hadnt really been with anyone else. I laid my head on his chest. After a few moments of silence, I felt him tracing the tattoos on my back.

"I never asked what these mean." He said, referring to the different norse and celtic symbols.

"Each one is a target, a job finished." I said."I chose the symbol by what the job taught me. If the target was prideful and arrogant to the end, it taught me to be humble. If the target whimpered it taught me to be strong."

"An interesting way to keep track of them." He said. "What aboot the owl?" I had a celtic knot owl on my chest.

"I go' the owl jus' after the attack on me, owls are wise in most cultures, proud animals who have the ability to see into the next world and give messages. They're also some of the best hunters in the sky. In some cultures owls are heralds of death, their sighting means a death will happen, and soon. I felt it suited me. At the time, a part of me had died. The young, innocent girl I was died, and from her death was born a warrior. A fighter. When I got the tattoo, I vowed I would never be so vulnerable again." I told him.

" And this one?" He asked about the dog print on my shoulder.

"Dogs are loyal creatures. In native American legends they were the only animal tha' willingly stayed with man. I got that one to remind myself that loyalty is a good thing, and to always look for it in myself and others."

" And the forest on yer forearm, I can see little things in it."

"The tattoo is a two part one, on my left, it shows a forest with dead trees, skeletons and other terrible things stalk in the shadows. On my right the forest is alive, but still has an ominous feel, but treasures and different wonders are concealed in it. Its to show that while there may be dangers, you never know which 'path youre on until your in the woods." I said.

"All these have so much meaning behind them." He whispered.

"Everything I do serves a purpose." I whispered.

"Oh, an' wha' purpose do I serve?" He chuckled.
"Yer the one who was willing to show me tha' there is kindness in the world we live in. Ye showed me that some can find beauty where others only see pain and a woman they don' wan' there kids around." I paused."Everyone ye mee' can teach ye a lesson, it's up to ye if ye listen or no'."

"I didn' realise ye were some sor' of guru." He tried to lighten the subject.I chuckled.

"Ive learned alot in my ' yer the one who asked." I smiled.

"Yer wha' 28, 29? 30 at mos'?" He asked.

"38 An' I worked with the IRA, worked as a paramedic, a hired gun, I've seen combat on several differen' occasions. I've seen an' done enough horrors fer a lifetime." I sighed.

"Jesus, burd." I sat up and looked at him.

"How ever I've been ta places mos' only dream aboo'. At 38, Ive been to every major city in every country. I learned several differen' languages, and Ive mee' interestin' people." I smiled."An' I go' a nice paycheck fer my work. I stashed mos' of it away, livin' like shi'. Bu' now if I choose, I coul' have a nice address in Hollywood, or London. I could live quite comfortably fer a long while. Should I choose." He frowned,

"Wha' are ye doin' with an M.C?" He asked. I smiled.

"I'm no' quite ready fer a quiet life ye'." He smiled, I leaned down to kiss him.

"Yeah?" He asked, chuckling.

"Yeah." I said. " I like adventure." I kissed him. "Trouble." I moved to his chuckled. " Excitement and all tha'."

"Is tha' so?" He asked.

" Yeah," I smiled. His smile fell.

"Yer no' still in the business are ye?"He asked sitting me up, pushing me to the side

"An' if I am?" I asked.

"Jesus Smiles. Yer still a hired gun?" He ran a hand through his hair. I swallowed.

"Aye, I am."
"Are ye mad?"He asked. I sat up.

"No, I'm at the heigh' o' me career." I defended myself.

"Wha' are ye doin' running ammo then?" He asked.

"Its a hobby, like I said a quiet life isn' fer me." I told him. He looked upset. " I rarely ge' jobs any more lad. Theres a rumor goin' around tha' I'm no' as effective as I was three months ago. " I sighed. " Theres a new lad on the scene. From Moscow." I said.

"Wha' happens now?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I coul' roll over, take an early retiremen', let this new lad do his thing. Or I can change fate so tha' Im still the top dog. Mos' still come to me when they need information squeezed. Apparently my brutality is unmatched." I said.

"Wha' are ye goin' ta do?" He looked at me. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed.

"I don' know. I won' lie, I enjoy my job. I really do. But it coul' put the Devil's Daughters at risk. Especially if I ge' caugh' while Im Presiden' o' the club. I haven' decided yet." I said, I stood up and went to the window.

"Ye need ta tell Clay. I though' ye were done with the business." He said.

" I don' know if I could ever be done with the business. Its all I know. Im learning to run guns an' ammo so tha' I have a fall back career. I haven' worked inside the law for nearly ten years." I mumbled. I turned to him.

"This changes things." I looked down. " Between us, doesn't it?" I asked.

"We need to sit down with the clubs an' talk this through. Do yer girls know?" He asked.

"Dawn an' Rosemary do, the res' don'." I said. I found my clothes and pulled them on i hunted for my bra, piece by piece I got dressed. And all that time, Chibs was silent. He sat on the edge of the bed. I kneeled in front of him.

"Filip, I should have been up front with ye from the beginning. I jus' didn' see the need ta tell ye an' yer boys because I don' know wha' Im goin' ta do." He looked down at me. " I am sorry." I said.

"Shit Bró there anythin' else?"

"I was born is Arizona, when I was twentytwo, I moved to Glasgow. I had been in Glasgow for three months, before it happened. My family thinks I've been dead fer eleven years. I stayed in Glasgow trying ta lead a normal life. The ambulance I worked for took me back, but in the end I scared too many people, so I left. During the time of my recuperation and the mess with the ambulance I learned ta figh'. I had earned my citizenship to the UK. I met a guy who introdueced me ta the Irish Cause. I worked fer the IRA, until a disagreemen' with Jimmy O, I chose to leave. I went inta me curren' business from there. I never kill women or children, an' I research each target I only take the job if they deserve it. Priors or things they've gotten away with, murderers, rapists. A job brough' me to America,where I met the lasses. I go' the visa as I told ye and we started the club a few months back. We needed help, so we came to the Sons of Anarchy. Where I met ye an' ye showed me I coul' live this life. The life withou' contracted kills." I told him everything.

"Yer no' lying?" He asked.

"I never lied, jus' lef' my pas' employment out. Kind of like ye an' the IRA. " I said. He nodded.

"I can respec' tha'. Bu' ye need to tell Clay aboo' no' bein' totally out." I rubbed the corner of my mouth with my tongue, it was an old habit.

"Even if I havent decided wha' ta do?" I asked. He nodded again.

"Aye, if he finds oo' ye weren' totally up fron' with him aboo' somethin' this big, it could be the end of the alliance." He said. I bit my lip,

"Alrigh'." I said.

"It's easy ta forge' how young ye are lass." He murmured.

"Im older than I look." I laughed.

"I noticed tha'." He said, standing up, he pulled on his boxers and pants. " I though' ye couldn' be more than twenty an' it turns ou' yer the guys here how old ye really are they're goin' ta lose their shit." He laughed.

"How old do they think I am?" I asked standing. He pulled on a mechanics shirt and found a bandana.

"I think they agreed on twenty one, seein' as ye drink. " I smiled.

" Didn' think I looked like a child." I muttered.

"Ye don' look like a child lass, jus' a very young woman." He said.

" A child. Ye though' I was eighteen!" We both laughed.

"Glad I was wrong, now I don' feel like so much of a cradle robber." I scooped up a pillow and threw it at him. "Ay, none of tha'!" He laughed.

" Its barely eleven years ye grea' lump! Besides, we both know tha' if I wan'ed I could kick yer ass auld man."

"Ill pu' up a good show at the very leas'." He countered.

"Come on, le's ge' ye goin', don' wan' ye ta be late fer work.I pulled on a clean t-shirt from my bag as we headed out the door.

"Those are some serious boots." He said watching me zip up the knee high black doc martens, they had buckles rather than laces.

"Ye shoul' see the ones I wear when Im workin'." I smiled. I did everything a man could do, except I made it look easy and sexy.

"I'd hate ta be the poor loon yer squeezin' fer information." He said pulling on his kut. I grabbed my jacket and we walked down the stairs, his arm around my shoulders.

"Mos' don' take me seriously until it's too late." I told him.
"I can' blame them." He chuckled, starting the bike.

"You'll regret tha'."I threatened over the roar of the motor. I buckled my helmet, we headed to the garage. I got off the bike and went in search of Clay, Chibs was right, Clay should know.

"Tig have ye seen Clay? I need ta talk wi' him. " I asked.

"Try the office." He gestured to a door.
"Thanks lad." I said.I walked to the door, and knocked.

"Come on in." He yelled. I opened the door.

" I need to talk ta ye." The older man frowned.

"Whats up?" He asked.

"Well, Chibs told me tha' he told ye wha' my career choice was before the Devil's Daughters." He nodded. " Except he was under the impression tha' I had retired. I am an active mercenary. No outstanding warrants." I told him. " They've never caugh' me or even had an idea o' who I am. A few months ago a new kid popped up on the scene, mos' o' my business wen' ta him, I haven' killed in a while, but they still come ta me when they need someone squeezed."

"Sit down." He said. "As I see it, you have two choices when it comes to your career. You can take the early retirement and be happy you havent gotten caught and live out the rest of your life, or you can take this new kid out, be the killer queen again."

"Tha's how I saw it too. Im jus' worried fer my club. If I do ge' caugh' and i lead the feds, or even interpol back to those lassies I would never forgive myself." I said.

"Do what will make you happy. Let your girls know whats going down. Maybe you step down as president while your working and then step up again when you have had your fun. But let them know the risk." He suggested. I nodded.

"And what about the partnership?" I asked.

" Ill put it to a vote. We'll deal with what happens from there." He said.

"Thanks auld man. would ye mind if I called the res' o' me charter up here? Theres only five or six more girls, an' we need ta discuss this." I said. He chuckled.
"I dont mind." He told me."Who are you in the mercenary world, if I might ask?" He asked as I stood.

"They call me The Ulchabhán, the Owl." I said.

"Why's that?" He asked.

"I havent figured it out, its either for the celtic knot owl tattoo across the top o' me ches' or because I work only at nigh'." I said, He chuckled.

"You might want to talk to Happy he's always going on about assassins and their latest kill."

"Maybe, I hear he's something else, tattoos a smiley face on himself for every kill."

"That part is true." I shrugged.

"We all keep track somehow." I said."Thanks fer the talk."He nodded.

I left the office and passed an older woman who glared and then stared as she saw my face. I went out to the yard. I didnt know what I was going to do. I lit up a cigarette and thought, leaning against the rail. Chibs came out a while later.

"Did ye talk with Clay?" He asked.

"Aye, he gave good advice, but when it comes to the partnership, he's leaving it up to a vote if I dont retire." I told him.

"Wha' are ye going to do?" He asked. I exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"I don' wan' an early retirement, Ill try to take this kid ou',take my crown back if ye will." I felt my tongue play with the corner of my mouth. " Ill talk to the Daughters tha' are here. Decide wha' ta do from there." I said. He nodded.

"Sounds like a solid plan."

"If enough of them are uncomfortable with the idea, I'll take myself ou' o' the game an' jus' run ammo an' guns in the states." I said.

"Its the righ' thing ta do burd." He put a hand on my shoulder.

"Sure." I said. He gave me a quick kiss.

" I have ta ge' back." I nodded. I pulled out the cellphone.I called Dawn.

"Hello?" She answered.

" Ge' the res' of the club up here. We have business ta discuss." I said.

"Whats going on? Can't it wait until we get back to arizona?" She asked.

"It can', it needs ta happen now, I need them up here as quick as possible. Its aboo' my ou'side career. " I said.

"Oh shit, are they finally onto you?"
"No, but we all need to talk in case they should know the risks they could be taking."

"Alright. I'll get them up here." She said. I hung up. If they left today, they'd arrive in the middle of the night. I saw Jax.

"Hey lad, Im sorry I keep invadin' yer space an' all but do ye think ye have a good spo' fer my charter to meet? Clay sanctioned it." I asked, jogging up to him.

"Yeah, no problem, you guys could use here, or even the clubhouse." He smiled.

"Thanks lad."

"Hey, is what Im hearing true? Youre a mercenary?" He asked.

" Aye, its true." I said. " I hope you lads can keep my secret, should any governmen' ge' an idea on who the Ulchabhán is, Im in big trouble." I said.

"Your fine, I was just curious, if your an infamous mercenary, why did Chibs get a good one on ye last night?" I laughed.

"Didn' wan' ta embarrass him. Though he's being a cocky ass aboo' it, maybe nex' time I'll jus' lay him oo' before he can ge' a hi'." Jax laughed.

" I would love to see you go all out on one of these guys one day. You should look into underground fighting, or even legal fights, I bet you can make a ton of money."

"Theres an idea. I'll think aboo' it lad." I said, starting to walk away.

"Dont take it too easy with Chibs." I stopped and turned.

"Wha' was tha'?" I asked.

" He likes the idea that your dangerous. Dont go easy on likes bad or dangerous girls." He said.

"Laddy, Im no girl." I said winking at him before walking away.

It was nearly eleven when the girls arrived. By then, the only one to not approach me about my career from the Sons of Anarchy was Happy. We sat around a table in the clubhouse, Clay and Jax had locked everyone in their meeting room to discuss the same thing.

"Alrigh' lassies, The Sons have accepted my proposal of partnership, how ever because of what I do, they may terminate it." They grew restless." I am a mercenary, a professional assassin. If im caught, I can now be traced back to you. So as we are a democracy, I am leavin' me fate up ta ye. I can go and take back me title as bes' in the world, continue until I say, or I can le' some baby face from Moscow take over and focus here. These are the first issue we vote on concernin' me. All in favor of me steppin' down." I set the vote, but no one wanted me to step down. "All in favor of showing the kid who really is ta be the bes'?" I set the vote, each girl raised their hands. I felt proud then.

"Ye should know that if I ge' caugh' ye could be in some trouble." I said."Especially if I am yer Presiden'." I sighed.

"We're puttin' it ta vote. If ye wan' me ta step down until I retire, I'll do so." No one raised their hands.

"If your caught, and I am assuming thats a big if, we'll all just say we dont dig into each others personal lives." My friend Lila, said.

"Are we in agreemen'?" I asked. Everyone said they were.

"All righ' then lassies. We are in business." I said standing. I knocked on the door to the meeting room, Chibs answered.

"I am remainin' Presiden' of the Devil's Daughters an' I'll be remainin' in my business." He nodded and went to turn. I grabbed his arm. "I asked everyone bu' ye lad. How do ye fee' aboo' this?" He looked down at me and sighed.

"Do wha' makes ye happy, an' we'll work through it." I nodded and stepped back. He closed the door and their meeting began.

"We're leaving tomorrow unless the Sons need us fer somethin'. Do as ye will tonigh' We'll hang around until dawn. Do yerselves a favor, and don' leave Charmin' unless yer in groups of three or more. Shoul' the Mayans hear tha' we're partners with the Sons we could have trouble." I said. I grabbed a bottle, and sat on the couch waitin'fer the Sons' meeting to adjourn, it seemed to take forever. But then the door opened. I stood and walked over. Clay greeted me.

"We are in this together girlie." He said. I smiled. " The boys love the idea of having you at our disposal." I laughed.

"My work comes at a price, but fer ye I'll try an cu' ye a deal." He laughed, and put an arm around me.

"You want to tell your girls?"He asked. I looked out over the party that started.

"I take it they know, I'll give them the official word later." I said.

"We want you girls to stay in Charming. Especially a lady with your talents." He said.

" Well, I can do tha' I don' have a family. The others may no' be so inclined." I said. "We'll talk it through, put it ta vote." I said. He nodded. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I waded outside and answered it.

" Allo?"

" Is this the Ulchabhán?" A British voice asked. I leaned against a door frame.

"Aye, speaking." I said.

" I have a job for you." I smiled, ask and ye shall receive.

"I'm in the States righ' now. Fly me oo' to the site, Give me the details, an' Ill consider it." I heard a sigh.

"Ok. Where are you at?"

"Charmin' California."

"Your flight is tomorrow night at nine from Oakland. Is that enough time to get your things in order?" He asked.

"Aye, an' when ye pick me up call me Anne O'Reilly." I said.

"Very well." They hung up. I lit up a cigarette.

"Ye arn' inside." Chibs came up to me.

" I had a call ta take." I said.

"Oh?" He asked.

" I go' a job I need ta look at." I said.

"Where at?" He asked.

" I'll be gettin' the information in London it sounds like. I'll research the targe' an' decide if I'll take it. If I take the job, I do it, then come home."

"Are ye goin' ta base oo' of Charmin'?" He asked.

"It'll be pu' to a vote." I told him, I tossed the cigarette butt onto the ground, and ground it out with the toe of my boot." I looked at him."Are ye alrigh' with it?" I asked.

"Ye seem more at ease, more commandin' if tha's at all possible." I smiled. " Yer business is yer elemen' anyone coul' see it. Im alrigh' with it." He kissed me.

"I need ta be in Oakland jus' before nine tomorrow nigh', preferably eigh' so I can ge' through security." I said.

" Tha's doable." I touched his cheek.

"Yer a saint." I said.

" Go tell Clay, then we'll ge' yer drunk ass home." He said.

"Im no' tha' drunk.'' I defended myself.

"No' ye' yer no'." He laughed. We walked inside. His arm around my shoulders and mine around his waist.

"Clay, I go' a job. Over in the UK. I'll be leavin' tomorrow. Try to handle everything through Dawn. I'll still have my cell if ye run into anythin' ye can' contac' me tha' way. " He nodded, smiling.

"Do what you need to do. We'll be here when you get back."
"Yer all sain's Im convinced now." Both men laughed,

"Take her home Chibs before she starts doing knife tricks again." I smiled.

"I can do tha', it's grea' entertainmen'."
"Alrigh' burd, lets go." Chibs said, winking at Clay. I let him guide me out. He put me into a car and drove to his apartment. He helped me up the stairs.

"Jesus, I haven' been this jaked since I got to Scotland." I sighed as we struggled up the stairs.

"Yer alrigh'." He said opening the door. He deposited me on the couch and grabbed a glass, he filled it with handed it to me and watched me drink it.

"Filip, I wan' ye ta know, tha' Im all in when it comes to us. Ye know everythin', an' i would never lie ta ye." I said.

"I know burd, i know." He said letting me put my head in his lap.

" Im excited ta ge' back into the swing of things, bu' I don' want ta leave ye." I whispered.

"You'll be back before ye know it." He said. I smiled and fell asleep.

In the morning I packed my things into a regular backpack, I wouldnt be gone that long. Later Chibs drove me to the airport. I was nervous, what if space and time made him realise I was a mistake?

"Ye have my number, if anythin' happens, call. Make sure my bike doesnt get destroyed, i know how crazy yer lives are. Dawn can-" I was going through everything for a millionth time.

"Don' worry burd, everythin' will be fine. " Chibs cut me off. "Give us a call when ye ge' back." He said. I smiled and kissed him.

"I'll be back in a couple of weeks." I said.

"I will see ye then." And with that, I turned and made my way through security

That night I had a nightmare I hadn't had in a long time. I dreamt of the night of the attack.

When I woke up, strong arms were around me. All I could think was that it was happening again. I squirmed and tried to fight, but as they were the first time, the arms were too strong.

"Easy love, easy. Its only a dream." I recognized that voice, I looked around the dimly lit area. I wasnt in an ally in Glasgow, I was in Chibs' apartment, it wasnt gangsters holding me down, it was Chibs trying to comfort me through all my fighting. I took in a shaky breath and relaxed into his arms.

"Oh god, Im so sorry." I whispered into his chest.

"It was only a bad dream, everything is alright." He said, softly. I wanted to cry, but I refused. I refused to be seen as that vulnerable. I slid my arms around his waist and held onto him.

"Thank you." I said quietly. My head hurt a little from last night, but really thats it. Which is impressive considering how much we drank.

"There is nothing to thank me for burd." He said. I sat up and looked at him.

"Ye barely know me, ye' yer holdin' onto some of me darkes' secre's . Ye respec' me enough tha' ye decided ta wait when ye learned of them. And ye were there when I was thrashin' aboot. There is plen'y ta thank ye fer Chibs." He looked down as if he were slightly embarrassed."Ye are one of the kindes' men I have come across in a long time lad, an' one of the more attractive ones. Fer all the faul's ye think ye have, yer lovin', yer kindness, an' who ye are make up fer them." I touched his scars lightly, he leaned into my touch. "I don' know if yer worried aboot the way ye look with the Grin, but le' me tell ye tha' ye are the same man, or which ever man ye chose ta ' sittin' before me is a handsome man tha' any burd would be lucky ta have." He looked at me.

"Lass, any loon would be lucky ta have ye,they jus' don' know it." I smiled, wishing I could believe him. But looking into his eyes I saw that he knew he was lucky, and I could believe that this loon cared for me. He kissed me, the attraction I had felt last night when we kissed seem more prominent now. I felt like I had to have him. I heard a phone ring, thinking it was his, I ignored it.

"That one is yers lass." He said. I sighed,

"I guess I had better answer it." I said as i got up and walked over to my jacket, where the phone was. "'Allo?" I answered, it was Clay.

"So I remembered what you said about a powerful ally, how would you and your girls feel about helping out a deal?We think the Mayans might try to crash the party."

"Aye, le' me round them up and pu' it to a vote. Ye mos' like'y have our support.

"The drop is at noon, we'll leave from the garage at 11:30."I looked at the clock it was barely seven.

"Alrigh' we'll be there." I said. I then called the girls and told them what was going on,they were willing to help, so it was on.

"So, the Devils Daughters are helping with a deal." Chibs said, I turned and looked at him as he sauntered over.

"Aye, it looks tha' way. Are ye goin'?" I asked.

"Aye, thats what the knock on the door was las' night." He said, i nodded.

"None of tha' haver in fron' of the clubs though." I said, it was his turn to nod.

"Of course burd." He was quite a bit taller than me, but I didn't mind, most people were. Being as I was only five foot two. He leaned down and kissed me. I loved the way he touched me, it sent little tingles of electricity down my arms and my back. I had to suppress a groan of disappointment when he pulled away.

"Don' look at me like that, there will be plenty more, but we should eat." He was right.

"Alrigh' ye bastart, wha' are we goin ta eat?"

"Are ye good with bacon an' eggs?" He asked, moving into the kitchen.

"Only if you have salsa and a tortilla." I replied following him and pulling myself onto a counter.

"Yer in luck lass, I have both salsa and tortillas. He said digging through his refrigerator. I smiled at him and watched as he started cooking. Planting little kisses on me every now and then.

"So what did you do before the club?" He asked. I bit my lip, my past was gruesome.

"I uh, I was a hired gun. A mercenary really. Before the attack I was a paramedic. But people in pain don' like seeing a girl with nasty scars like mine so I did what I could. A couple months ago, a job brough' me to the States where I met the lassies in the club. I finished the job, go' a visa, now i'll be Stateside fer a while." I said.

"You, a wee little thing, a mercenary?" He asked smiling.

"Aye, when Im no' fightin' in me sleep im very good."I told him.

"Ye almos' kicked my arse while ye were asleep, Im sure fightin' ye while yer awake is no' easy." We talked while we ate. When we finished it was only like seven thirty.

"Do ye mind if I use yer shower?" I asked as I did the dishes.

"Aye, I do. But yes ye can." I smiled, then turned and kissed him.

"Me stuff is still on me bike. I'll be right back." I said. I pulled on my jacket and went downstairs barefoot, I grabbed my saddlebags off my bike and went back up.

"Shower is down the hall on the lef'." Chibs said. I was tempted to invite him to come with me, but I wasn't sure how it would go over. I bit my lip as I pulled off my jacket.

"Would ye, uh, like ta join me?" I asked, he smiled.

"Aye I would." He stalked towards me, I set my bag on the ground and moved backwards, his hand shot out and hooked my waist, pulling me towards him. I giggled and kissed him, but then I pushed him back and pulled off my shirt while dancing away from him and towards the bathroom. He pulled off his shirt and followed. I admired his chest and abs while I shimmied out of my pants. He smiled as he looked at me, he pulled me towards him.

"God yer beautiful." He said before kissing me, I heard him turn on the water.I slid my hands down his chest to his belt, where I began unbuckling it. He unhooked my bra as his pants fell to the floor. I started to feel shaky.

"Don' be afraid love. All ye have ta do is tell me if ye don' want to go any further an' Ill stop. I won' be mad, I won' ignore ye."He said as if reading my mind. I nodded, not trusting my voice.I pressed my lips to his, loving the way our nearly naked bodies felt pressing against one another. I let my hands pull his boxers down, he broke the kiss and looked into my eyes. He did so the whole time he pulled my panties off. I stepped into the shower and he followed. He kissed me, pushing me back into the streaming water. I felt it run over our bodies. I looked up at him and smiled. I grabbed the soap and ran it across his chest, this would be a good way for me to explore and actually get clean. He watched me carefully as I explored, soap in hand. When I finished feeling every curve and line of his body, he took the soap from me.

"Find anythin' ye like darlin'?" He asked. I smiled.

"I think I did, bu' i'll have ta find oot later." He kissed me and followed my lead with the soap, except he had moved behind me and started with my back. He wrapped his arms around me to reach my front I closed my eyes and rested my head against his chest, pressing my body to his. Everywhere he touched was set on fire. It felt like he was done far too soon.

"Ye have no idea what yer doing to me." He whispered into my ear, it was almost a growl, kissing my neck. Instinctively my head rolled to the other side giving him a better shot at my neck.

"I think I 'ave a pretty good idea." I said as he kissed and his hands touched,i was feeling breathless and light headed. I could feel his own reaction against my body.I turned to face him. I didnt know if I was ready to go any further right put his hands on my face so that his thumbs ran with my cheekbones.

"If yer no' ready ye' I understand." He said softly.I closed my eyes, way to ruin a perfectly good moment, I cursed it didnt have to end. I was ready. Filip was being kind and I felt he would never take advantage of me. We had that connection. I understood him and he understood me.I opened my eyes and looked at him

"Im ready." I said. He blinked and looked at me.

"Are ye sure lass?" He asked.

"Yes." I kissed me,slowly at first, then our passion and need grew. He turned off the water and picked me up I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. All while kissing me he carried me from the bathroom to the laid me down on his bed and hovered over he sat up and positioned himself at my entrance,I moaned as i felt his head inside me,just enough to drive me mad. He looked at me, waiting for me to tell him to stop.

"Do it." I said , looking at him. He slid into me slowly , watching me as i experienced the foreign sensation. He leaned over me and kissed me.

"You are beautiful." He whispered softly. I looked up into his eyes. I wanted to know how to make him feel what I was feeling. The happiness especially. I rolled my hips experimentally, his eyes closed in pleasure and a little moan escaped him.

"Ye are the bes' thing tha' has 'appened to me." I said. "Tell me how to make you as happy as I am." I kissed him.

"No love, this one is all aboot you."He said.

"Yer pleasure will bring me mine." I said, I rolled so that I was ontop. I put my hands on his chest.

"Roll yer hips again."I did as he asked, loving the feeling, I moaned. "Thats it darling, slower, take yer time."I leaned down, bringing a new movement I played with. His hands went to my hips and he qued me on what to do. I kissed him, deeply, he pulled me closer.

"Lean back, against my knees." He said sitting up.

"Oh."I moaned as I did. I closed my eyes and enjoyed it i let my head roll back. I gasped when i felt his mouth on my breast.

"Fuck, Brónach ye have no idea wha' ye've done ta me." He growled. I felt him roll, I was under him. He picked up the pace, pushing harder than I could. I felt my mind grow even foggier.

"Chibs." I moaned, grabbing the sheets.

"I fucking love it when you say my name." He moved faster.

"Oh, Chibs." I moaned as he hit something that made me see stars. I felt a tightness in my belly. His movements started become faster, more frantic.

"Hey Chibs- Oh my god,what the fuck?" I looked over Chibs' shoulders to see Halfsack standing in the . I got angry.

"Either fucking join in or leave." I moved to leave then stopped.

"Were you joking?" He asked.

"Leave fucking Prospect!" Chibs roared. The boy moved quickly and almost ran into the door.I pulled him down into a kiss. I felt my fingers scratch his back as the tension was almost unbearable.

"Fuck, Chibs yes." I moaned as the tension released and I orgasimed.

"Oh god." Chibs groaned, pulling out of me. I was breathless. I put my head on his chest as he wrapped an arm around me.

"I had better go see what Half Sack wants." He sighed, standing up, he moved to the dresser and pulled on clothes.

"Oi. could ye bring me my bag while yer out there?" I asked. He smiled.

"Of course burd." He said kissing me he disappeared and then reappeared with it in hand.

"Thanks love." I said. I stood and started dressing, I felt him watching me.

"Go see wha' the Prospec' needs." I said, pulling on my pants.

"Bu' I would rather watch you." He said.

"Im here until wednesday, ye can watch me some other time ." I said. It was sighed but left. I finished dressing, then i styled my short and wild pixie cut and put some eyeliner and mascara on. I went out to the main area of the apartment to see Chibs and Half Sack talking. I tried not to listen in, it was rude,but Chibs pulled me down into his lap.

" Clay says that if you want to try to sell some ammo to the Niners you're welcome to." Half Sack said to me. I nodded.

"Thanks lad." I said. It was almost ten.

"We should get over to the garage." Chibs said, Half Sack nodded. We all stood, I pulled on my jacket and Chibs pulled on his kut. I grabbed Half Sack's shoulder.

"Ye come bargin' in on me like tha' again laddy, and they'll have ta change yer name ta No Sack."I said opening a butterfly knife, the boy's eyes widened. And Chibs laughed. I put away the knife and we all went down to the bikes.

"Ill follow you." I yelled over the roar of engines. I still didnt know Charming very well. The boys nodded and we rode over to the garage. It was a beautiful day, I enjoyed the sunshine and warmth as we rode.A bunch of the girls were already there, I was only missing Dawn.

"Oi, wheres Dawn?" I asked.I got shrugs for answers.

"Has any one seen Tig?" Clay asked coming out of the garage.

"They're probably together." I said.

"Well, we'll start without them. Heres the deal site."Jax said, putting a map down on a work bench.

"Easily defendable."I said nodding.

"We want you girls to simply be muscle, the only one to talk will be Smiles, and thats when she makes her deal."Clay said.

"If they have something they need to say, they should be able too. We wont interfere with yer business." I said. He nodded and i left to talk to the girls as I was walking away I heard Chibs talking to Clay.

"Smiles there was a hired gun for a while before she started the club." I couldnt hear Clay's response.

"Whats going on Smiles?" Rosemary asked.
"We have a chance to sell ammo to the niners, Clay is allowing us to go, we'll look like extra muscle. We are no' goin' ta interfere with his business, an' the lads aren' goin' ta interfere with ours." I said. They nodded.

"Sounds good." They said.

"Where the fuck is Dawn?" I asked.

"Looks like she just showed." I looked at a clock, she pushed it. She shot me an apologetic look.

"Alright we're all here, lets go." Clay said. We followed the Sons up to the rendezvous where we sat quietly. Soon two cars rolled up, and ten men got out.

"Whats this Clay?" One asked, gesturing to the Daughters.

"Partners. They've got something you might want." I nodded to the black man.

"You got our AK's?" He asked.

"Yeah, we do."They made the trade.

"Now, the Devil's Daughters here run ammo, I suggest you talk to them." Clay said. The black man smiled.

"Are they friends of yours?" He asked, Clay nodded. "Friends of Yours are friends of mine." He turned to me.

"How many cases?"He asked.

"We 'ave four righ' now. $200 a case, ye can' get it cheaper anywhere else." He nodded.

"Thats pretty cheap." He turned to Clay."They on the up and up?" He asked.

"The product is top notch."The man nodded.

"Its a deal. We'll take it." I smiled, he handed me the money. I shook his hand, and the girl's handed his boys the cases, and with that, the deal was done.

"Contac' Clay if ye wan' more. He can reach me an' He'll se' somethin' up fer me." Laroy nodded, then he and his gangsters got into the cars and drove off.

"Why don't you girls come back to the Clubhouse with us and have a drink." Clay said.

"Thank ye." I said after getting a general nod of approval from the girls.

"Let's roll." He said and we all rode out. The Devil's Daughters followed the Sons of Anarchy back to the clubhouse. There were other Sons there, we were celebrating the new partnership. I talked with most of them, showed them some tricks with the butterfly knife.

"Ye know those are illegal in California righ'?" Chibs asked.

"Aye, bu' so are AK's an' their ammo." I said. Everyone smiled. I twirled the knife."Anyone wan' ta see a nea' trick?" I asked. The general consensus was yes. "I need a volunteer." I smiled.

"Wha' are ye up to?" Chibs asked

"Scare tactics." I smiled.

"Oi, Prospect ge' over here." He yelled. Half Sack jogged up.

"What's up?'' He asked.

"Smiles needs a volunteer." Juice said.

"Sure." He smiled. I stood up.

"Sit.'' I said.

"Chibs, hold him." I said, I grabbed his wrist and forced his hand flat on the counter. Chibs grabbed him. I placed my hand over his flipped open the knife and put it in between our fingers. I began singing 'The Rocky Road To Dublin' and stabbing in between our fingers, as I sung faster, my blade moved faster. Soon I was singing and moving at what seemed at an inhuman pace, Half Sack started screaming and everyone laughed. When I finished We let him up. He looked at his fingers, not a single cut. I winked at him.

"That was a good one." Juice said. Chibs smiled at me as I took a swig of my beer.

" Go' any others?" He asked. I smiled.

"A few." I replied.

"Smiles you should 86 with him. " Dawn said. I looked down.

"The 86?" Nearly everyone asked.

"I dont know. I haven' done tha' one in a while, It could ge' dangerous. If I mess up, drop the knife, it could hurt." I said. The devilish grins got wider.

" Again, I need a volunteer." I said, sighing.

"I go' this one."Chibs said,grinning.

" Clear this." I said gesturing to the counter. They all jumped to do so. "Alrigh' big boy lay down on the counter." I said. Taking a swig from a rum Devil's Daughters all gathered around, and it got the attention of most of the Sons.I took off my jacket, leaving me in a fishnet shirt that exposed my red bra. I jumped up onto the counter, a foot on either side of Chibs.

"Ye ready?" I asked.

"I don' even know wha's goin' ta happen." He said.

"The 86 is where I stand on one hand and do different tricks for 86 seconds, your job is to hold me keep me from falling over so I can concentrate on not dropping the knife on ye." I saw his eyebrow cock. The room fell silent.I closed the knife,put it in my mouth and looked at him, he nodded.

I put a hand of either side of his head. And got into a handstand. He reached up and grabbed my waist. I took the knife and began my different tricks.I watched him and he had trouble making eye contact, preferring to look up my Devils Daughters began the count, soon, the whole clubhouse was counting. There was once where I almost dropped it. But Chibs didn't say anything. When the count was up I put my feet down and stood up, the room applauded and I bowed.

"Jesus , there was a close one there burd." He said. I laughed and showed him my hand, there was blood trickling down my middle finger.

"Closer than ye think lad." I said, he chuckled."Jus' be glad they arn' screamin' fer a 69." I said.

"I don' think I wan' ta know." He said. I nodded, wrapping my finger in a napkin. "Yer a real piece o' work." He said. I smiled.

"I know." I lit a cigarette up, and took a drag.

"Rosemary leaned over."

"Ye should show them a 69." She said, laughing. I sighed.

"No." I said "I like this knife, I dont particularly want to se' it on fire." She pouted.

"Perhaps next time doll." I said, taking a sip out of the whiskey bottle.

" Now I really don' want to know. " He said.

"Alo' find it sexy." I shrugged. He raised an eyebrow. I smiled.

"Smiley get your ass over here." Dawn yelled. I sighed and stood up, I found her out back next to a boxing ring.

"Really? Ye wan' ta do do this now?" I asked, she nodded. I pulled off my fish net shirt and jumped into the ring with her. I cracked my knuckles and rolled my neck. I dropped into a fighting stance.

"What is going on here?" Clay asked.

"Alot of the girls like bare knuckle especially likes a good fight." Rosemary said.

I focused in on the fight and all too soon I had her on the mat, my boot on her chest.

"Alright you win you jerk."

"Don' whine lass, it's no' becomin'." I laughed helping her up. Rosemary handed me the bottle. I took a good swig from it.

"Any one else?" I asked. Chibs shrugged out of his kut, then pulled off his shirt.

"Lets go burd." He said. I smiled.

"Ye know me pas' ye sure?" I asked, he nodded.

"Clay should be able to see what his new allies can do."

"Well alrigh' then. " I said, I circled him,watching him move. He went to take a swing, I ducked and got him with a good body shot. He coughed.

"Nicely done sweethear'." He said.

"Yer stronger than ' ye have more weigh' ta move." I smiled. I ducked under a right hook and gave him a love tap on the nose. The crowd that gathered laughed. I took out his knee,he went down, and i caught him in a solid choke hold. He brought his elbow into my side, I let him up. People were cheering and laughing. Probably betting. I got a shot at his cheek, he stumbled backwards.

"Ye hit like a girl." He laughed.

"Ye don' wan' me ta hit like a man love." I said following him,he came around and caught my lip. I stumbled back and laughed. I spat blood. "I hi' like a girl? Ye hi' like my wee sister!" I yelled, we stood toe to toe and traded blows a bit.

"Alright, alright we get it youre both badass scotts now step down and let someone else have a turn in the ring." Tigger yelled. We turned simultaneously and stared at him.

"I aint backin' down." I said, and with that, I swept Chibs' legs out from under him, he hit the mat with a thud. I pinned him down.

"Fine ye win." Chibs said. Both of us had split lips, his nose was bleeding.I stood up and offered him a hand, he took it and stood up. I hopped out of the ring, Dawn handed me my shirt and my drink. I put my shirt on and then took a pull from the bottle. I turned and Chibs was there. I smiled.

"Ye are a good little fighter." He said.

"Told ye I was a mercenary, besides, I was goin' easy on ye." I replied. He put his arm around me and we walked back inside. We sat down on a couch,

"I've only been here two days and already there's been so much goin' on. I be' ye boys are never bored." I said, leaning against him.

"Sometimes it ge's tiring." He said. I looked up at him, and sighed.

"Well, I hope I don' tire ye ou'." I said, he chuckled. I felt his laugh rumble through his chest. I fell asleep in his arms, plastered.

I woke up in the clubhouse, the sun had barely risen and everyone was still passed out. I sat up, and Chibs' arm fell off me, though he didnt stir. I stood up and stretched. I lit up a cigarette and looked around, the place was wrecked. My lip and cheek were sore, but nothing debilitating, i rolled my neck and sighed. I didnt know what today held in store, but Im sure It will be fun, or at the very least exciting. I did not want to go back to Arizona.

"Yer up early." Chibs said, stretching.

"Sleepin' on a couch will do tha' ta me." I said.

"Come here lass." He said, I finished the cigarette and went over to pulled me into his lap. "I have some work at the garage today." He said

"Aligh'."I said. He smiled.

"I don' have to be here until noon." He smiled. It was barely six.

"Yeah?" I said.

"Why don' we head back ta my place an' have some fun." He suggested. I chuckled and bit my lip.

" I woul' like tha'."I said smiling. I kissed him. "Mind if I ride bitch?'' I asked. His smiled grew.

"Not if you don' mind taking off tha' silly wee thing ye cal' a shirt and wearing nothin' but yer bra, an' jacke'." He said. I chuckled, hes a cheeky one.

"Fine, Ill see wha' I can do."

"The jacket has ta stay open." He said. I took off the fishnet shirt and pulled on my jacket, leaving it open.

"Like this?" I nodded.

"Aye, like tha'." He smiled.

"Well then lets go daddy-o." I said, he laughed, and we navigated our way to the front of the club house. We got to Chibs' bike and I grabbed my helmet as he started it. I climbed onto the back and wrapped my arms around his waist. We set off to his apartment. I enjoyed leaning against him as he drove, it was oddly comforting. When we reached the apartment complex and parked, he turned around and swept me off the bike carefully. I put my helmet on the handlebars as we walked by.

"Yer such a wee thing, its hard ta imagine ye bein' a killer." He said.
"Well, ye have the split lip and a shiner ta prove tha' Im atleas' a fighter." I said, touching his lip gingerly.

"Aye, that was impressive." He said."Remind me never ta piss ye off." I laughed as he kicked open the door and set me down inside. He pushed me up against the wall, and shut the door. I looked up at the scott and felt my stomach tighten, could I really be falling in love with this man? I reached up and wrapped my arms around his neck, he wrapped his around my waist,

"Is this just a three day fling Filip?" I asked, he frowned.

" I don' wan' it ta be jus' a three day fling. Ye deserve more than tha'." He said.

"Are ye ready for a long distance thing?" I asked, even though the Devil's Daughters would be up in Charming often, I wouldnt always be in Charming, and he wouldnt always be able to be in Arizona with me.

"I'm willing ta give it a go if ye are." He said, I bit my lip.

"I am, but we have ta be up fron' aboot everything. I don' expect ye ta stop yer partyin' on my accoun', an' Im alrigh' with it. So long as I am the only serious one." I nodded.

"I think we can work with it." He whispered.

"An' in a few years, if we're still a thing, we'll sit down an' talk aboot my visa and my nex' move." I said. He nodded, then leaned down and kissed me. Picking me up again, I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his waist. He pinned me against the wall and kissed me. It was anything but chaste, he elicited a few moans of pleasure from me. I let him push my jacket off my shoulders as i kissed his neck. He ran a finger down my spine sending delightful shivers over my skin. I pushed him back and stood on my own, I pushed him against the opposite entryway wall, kissing him. He seemed slightly surprised,i kissed down his neck, nibbling here and there. He seemed unsure all of a sudden.I pushed off his kut, and pulled up his shirt, he helped me get it over his head. I slid my hands over his chest, kissing his collar bone. I let my kisses trail lower, over the top of his pecks, I ran the tip of my tongue over one of his nipples. I smiled at the soft moan that rumbled in his chest. I unbuckled his belt and pants, letting them fall to the floor. I looked up at him, and licked my lip.

"Tell me wha' ya wan'." I said, my fingers playing with the waistband to his looked down through lidded eyes.

"I wan' ye to blow me." He said. I tsked a little,

"Surely ye can be more convincin' than tha' darling." I said, he looked down at me, I thoughtI saw his lip curl.

"I wan' ye to suck me." He said, more forcefully. His hand caught my neck and held me still as his lips crashed into mine. " I want yer perfect little lips around my cock, pleasuring me."He growled. I smiled, and kissed his neck, trailing kissed lower and lower. I hooked his boxer's waistband with my teeth and pulled them down. Then I did as he requested, I loved the responses I got from him. I felt him run a hand through my hair and pull it slightly. He moaned as I tried new things, I heard him grab the corner of the wall.

"Fuck me." He moaned as his came to his climax, when i had swallowed and made sure i hadnt made a mess, i looked up at him. His skin was slightly shiny with sweat, his normally pushed back hair was in disarray. He seemed breathless, but he pulled me up and kissed me.I was sure he could taste himself on my lips.

"How did I do?" I asked quietly when he pulled away.

"Ye did wonderfully." He assured me, I smiled.

"Yer no' jus' sayin' tha'?" I asked. He shook his head.

"No' at all love." he whispered. "But now its my turn."He said, and with that he picked me up and carried me to his bedroom. He tossed me onto the bed with ease. I bounced and giggled. He pulled off my boots, and the crawled onto the bed.

"I need ye ta trust me." He said. I nodded."Jus' relax burd." He smiled, pulling off my jeans. I was left in my bra and underwear, but not for long. He unhooked my bra as he kissed me, and discarded it. I felt exposed, and a little shy. I didnt know why, he had seen me before. He sat up and I crossed my arms over my chest.

"None of tha' lass." He said gently pulling them off. I bit my kissed my lips lightly, then down my neck, biting a little roughly in one area, i loved it though. He placed a kiss at the hollow of my throat, then in between my breasts. I watched him as he ran his tongue over one of my nipples, then take it into his mouth. A little mewl escaped my throat, as he played with my breasts. I was disappointed when he moved on, kissing down my stomach, then pulling off my underwear. I felt exposed and vulnerable again.

"I won' hur' ye." He murmured, kissing the inside of my knee, I watched curiously as he moved closer and closer to my wet core. When he reached it he looked up at me, I felt his breath across it. He held my gaze as he drew his tongue across it. It was new and strange, I almost squirmed, but held myself still. I gasped when he did it again, slower and with more pressure. He was moving excruciatingly slow, I rolled my hips.

"Oh god, please." I moaned.

"Please what?"He asked.I felt my head roll back.

"Dont stop." I was practically begging. I was putty in his hands' I felt his tongue work my core, I felt breathless and out of control, and soon I felt the tension in my stomach build, and build, I moaned his name and grabbed the sheets twisting them tightly as I felt my release coming, then all at once he stopped. I looked down at him, he crawled over the top of me.

"You'll be of no use to me if youre spent burd." He said, kissing me. I could taste myself on him, but I didnt care. I pulled him down closer, ignoring the metallic taste of blood that was coming from my lip. When he pulled away slightly, I was breathless, not from earlier, but from the kiss itself. I wanted more, i pushed myself up to kiss him when our lips met i twisted so that he was under me.

"Ye shouldn' worry aboo' me being the one spen'." I said looking down at him he chuckled. I guided him into me painfully slow, I could feel him getting restless under me. I could feel the power of him in between my legs.

"Yer a down righ' tease." He said, arching his back, his eyes fell shut. I leaned forward and nibbled at his ear,

"Aye, bu' yer lovin' every momen' o' this." I whispered, I felt his fingers trace down my spine. He gripped my hips tightly.

"I am." He breathed.I sat up and let him set the pace, guiding my hips with his hands.I felt the tension building.

"Oh, god, Im close." I moaned.

"Are ye goin' ta cum fer me ye dirty little girl?" He growled, he pushed himself up.

"Yes!" I was breathless. "Oh, Chibs yes!" I felt my release and his come at the same time. I pulled myself off of him and laid back on the pillows, my chest heaving.

"You, my little scott are amazing." He said, as he laid next to me.I felt a blush heating my already hot skin. I couldnt return the compliment, I hadnt really been with anyone else. I laid my head on his chest. After a few moments of silence, I felt him tracing the tattoos on my back.

"I never asked what these mean." He said, referring to the different norse and celtic symbols.

"Each one is a target, a job finished." I said."I chose the symbol by what the job taught me. If the target was prideful and arrogant to the end, it taught me to be humble. If the target whimpered it taught me to be strong."

"An interesting way to keep track of them." He said. "What aboot the owl?" I had a celtic knot owl on my chest.

"I go' the owl jus' after the attack on me, owls are wise in most cultures, proud animals who have the ability to see into the next world and give messages. They're also some of the best hunters in the sky. In some cultures owls are heralds of death, their sighting means a death will happen, and soon. I felt it suited me. At the time, a part of me had died. The young, innocent girl I was died, and from her death was born a warrior. A fighter. When I got the tattoo, I vowed I would never be so vulnerable again." I told him.

" And this one?" He asked about the dog print on my shoulder.

"Dogs are loyal creatures. In native American legends they were the only animal tha' willingly stayed with man. I got that one to remind myself that loyalty is a good thing, and to always look for it in myself and others."

" And the forest on yer forearm, I can see little things in it."

"The tattoo is a two part one, on my left, it shows a forest with dead trees, skeletons and other terrible things stalk in the shadows. On my right the forest is alive, but still has an ominous feel, but treasures and different wonders are concealed in it. Its to show that while there may be dangers, you never know which 'path youre on until your in the woods." I said.

"All these have so much meaning behind them." He whispered.

"Everything I do serves a purpose." I whispered.

"Oh, an' wha' purpose do I serve?" He chuckled.
"Yer the one who was willing to show me tha' there is kindness in the world we live in. Ye showed me that some can find beauty where others only see pain and a woman they don' wan' there kids around." I paused."Everyone ye mee' can teach ye a lesson, it's up to ye if ye listen or no'."

"I didn' realise ye were some sor' of guru." He tried to lighten the subject.I chuckled.

"Ive learned alot in my ' yer the one who asked." I smiled.

"Yer wha' 28, 29? 30 at mos'?" He asked.

"38 An' I worked with the IRA, worked as a paramedic, a hired gun, I've seen combat on several differen' occasions. I've seen an' done enough horrors fer a lifetime." I sighed.

"Jesus, burd." I sat up and looked at him.

"How ever I've been ta places mos' only dream aboo'. At 38, Ive been to every major city in every country. I learned several differen' languages, and Ive mee' interestin' people." I smiled."An' I go' a nice paycheck fer my work. I stashed mos' of it away, livin' like shi'. Bu' now if I choose, I coul' have a nice address in Hollywood, or London. I could live quite comfortably fer a long while. Should I choose." He frowned,

"Wha' are ye doin' with an M.C?" He asked. I smiled.

"I'm no' quite ready fer a quiet life ye'." He smiled, I leaned down to kiss him.

"Yeah?" He asked, chuckling.

"Yeah." I said. " I like adventure." I kissed him. "Trouble." I moved to his chuckled. " Excitement and all tha'."

"Is tha' so?" He asked.

" Yeah," I smiled. His smile fell.

"Yer no' still in the business are ye?"He asked sitting me up, pushing me to the side

"An' if I am?" I asked.

"Jesus Smiles. Yer still a hired gun?" He ran a hand through his hair. I swallowed.

"Aye, I am."
"Are ye mad?"He asked. I sat up.

"No, I'm at the heigh' o' me career." I defended myself.

"Wha' are ye doin' running ammo then?" He asked.

"Its a hobby, like I said a quiet life isn' fer me." I told him. He looked upset. " I rarely ge' jobs any more lad. Theres a rumor goin' around tha' I'm no' as effective as I was three months ago. " I sighed. " Theres a new lad on the scene. From Moscow." I said.

"Wha' happens now?" He asked. I shrugged.

"I coul' roll over, take an early retiremen', let this new lad do his thing. Or I can change fate so tha' Im still the top dog. Mos' still come to me when they need information squeezed. Apparently my brutality is unmatched." I said.

"Wha' are ye goin' ta do?" He looked at me. I swung my legs over the edge of the bed.

"I don' know. I won' lie, I enjoy my job. I really do. But it coul' put the Devil's Daughters at risk. Especially if I ge' caugh' while Im Presiden' o' the club. I haven' decided yet." I said, I stood up and went to the window.

"Ye need ta tell Clay. I though' ye were done with the business." He said.

" I don' know if I could ever be done with the business. Its all I know. Im learning to run guns an' ammo so tha' I have a fall back career. I haven' worked inside the law for nearly ten years." I mumbled. I turned to him.

"This changes things." I looked down. " Between us, doesn't it?" I asked.

"We need to sit down with the clubs an' talk this through. Do yer girls know?" He asked.

"Dawn an' Rosemary do, the res' don'." I said. I found my clothes and pulled them on i hunted for my bra, piece by piece I got dressed. And all that time, Chibs was silent. He sat on the edge of the bed. I kneeled in front of him.

"Filip, I should have been up front with ye from the beginning. I jus' didn' see the need ta tell ye an' yer boys because I don' know wha' Im goin' ta do." He looked down at me. " I am sorry." I said.

"Shit Bró there anythin' else?"

"I was born is Arizona, when I was twentytwo, I moved to Glasgow. I had been in Glasgow for three months, before it happened. My family thinks I've been dead fer eleven years. I stayed in Glasgow trying ta lead a normal life. The ambulance I worked for took me back, but in the end I scared too many people, so I left. During the time of my recuperation and the mess with the ambulance I learned ta figh'. I had earned my citizenship to the UK. I met a guy who introdueced me ta the Irish Cause. I worked fer the IRA, until a disagreemen' with Jimmy O, I chose to leave. I went inta me curren' business from there. I never kill women or children, an' I research each target I only take the job if they deserve it. Priors or things they've gotten away with, murderers, rapists. A job brough' me to America,where I met the lasses. I go' the visa as I told ye and we started the club a few months back. We needed help, so we came to the Sons of Anarchy. Where I met ye an' ye showed me I coul' live this life. The life withou' contracted kills." I told him everything.

"Yer no' lying?" He asked.

"I never lied, jus' lef' my pas' employment out. Kind of like ye an' the IRA. " I said. He nodded.

"I can respec' tha'. Bu' ye need to tell Clay aboo' no' bein' totally out." I rubbed the corner of my mouth with my tongue, it was an old habit.

"Even if I havent decided wha' ta do?" I asked. He nodded again.

"Aye, if he finds oo' ye weren' totally up fron' with him aboo' somethin' this big, it could be the end of the alliance." He said. I bit my lip,

"Alrigh'." I said.

"It's easy ta forge' how young ye are lass." He murmured.

"Im older than I look." I laughed.

"I noticed tha'." He said, standing up, he pulled on his boxers and pants. " I though' ye couldn' be more than twenty an' it turns ou' yer the guys here how old ye really are they're goin' ta lose their shit." He laughed.

"How old do they think I am?" I asked standing. He pulled on a mechanics shirt and found a bandana.

"I think they agreed on twenty one, seein' as ye drink. " I smiled.

" Didn' think I looked like a child." I muttered.

"Ye don' look like a child lass, jus' a very young woman." He said.

" A child. Ye though' I was eighteen!" We both laughed.

"Glad I was wrong, now I don' feel like so much of a cradle robber." I scooped up a pillow and threw it at him. "Ay, none of tha'!" He laughed.

" Its barely eleven years ye grea' lump! Besides, we both know tha' if I wan'ed I could kick yer ass auld man."

"Ill pu' up a good show at the very leas'." He countered.

"Come on, le's ge' ye goin', don' wan' ye ta be late fer work.I pulled on a clean t-shirt from my bag as we headed out the door.

"Those are some serious boots." He said watching me zip up the knee high black doc martens, they had buckles rather than laces.

"Ye shoul' see the ones I wear when Im workin'." I smiled. I did everything a man could do, except I made it look easy and sexy.

"I'd hate ta be the poor loon yer squeezin' fer information." He said pulling on his kut. I grabbed my jacket and we walked down the stairs, his arm around my shoulders.

"Mos' don' take me seriously until it's too late." I told him.
"I can' blame them." He chuckled, starting the bike.

"You'll regret tha'."I threatened over the roar of the motor. I buckled my helmet, we headed to the garage. I got off the bike and went in search of Clay, Chibs was right, Clay should know.

"Tig have ye seen Clay? I need ta talk wi' him. " I asked.

"Try the office." He gestured to a door.
"Thanks lad." I said.I walked to the door, and knocked.

"Come on in." He yelled. I opened the door.

" I need to talk ta ye." The older man frowned.

"Whats up?" He asked.

"Well, Chibs told me tha' he told ye wha' my career choice was before the Devil's Daughters." He nodded. " Except he was under the impression tha' I had retired. I am an active mercenary. No outstanding warrants." I told him. " They've never caugh' me or even had an idea o' who I am. A few months ago a new kid popped up on the scene, mos' o' my business wen' ta him, I haven' killed in a while, but they still come ta me when they need someone squeezed."

"Sit down." He said. "As I see it, you have two choices when it comes to your career. You can take the early retirement and be happy you havent gotten caught and live out the rest of your life, or you can take this new kid out, be the killer queen again."

"Tha's how I saw it too. Im jus' worried fer my club. If I do ge' caugh' and i lead the feds, or even interpol back to those lassies I would never forgive myself." I said.

"Do what will make you happy. Let your girls know whats going down. Maybe you step down as president while your working and then step up again when you have had your fun. But let them know the risk." He suggested. I nodded.

"And what about the partnership?" I asked.

" Ill put it to a vote. We'll deal with what happens from there." He said.

"Thanks auld man. would ye mind if I called the res' o' me charter up here? Theres only five or six more girls, an' we need ta discuss this." I said. He chuckled.
"I dont mind." He told me."Who are you in the mercenary world, if I might ask?" He asked as I stood.

"They call me The Ulchabhán, the Owl." I said.

"Why's that?" He asked.

"I havent figured it out, its either for the celtic knot owl tattoo across the top o' me ches' or because I work only at nigh'." I said, He chuckled.

"You might want to talk to Happy he's always going on about assassins and their latest kill."

"Maybe, I hear he's something else, tattoos a smiley face on himself for every kill."

"That part is true." I shrugged.

"We all keep track somehow." I said."Thanks fer the talk."He nodded.

I left the office and passed an older woman who glared and then stared as she saw my face. I went out to the yard. I didnt know what I was going to do. I lit up a cigarette and thought, leaning against the rail. Chibs came out a while later.

"Did ye talk with Clay?" He asked.

"Aye, he gave good advice, but when it comes to the partnership, he's leaving it up to a vote if I dont retire." I told him.

"Wha' are ye going to do?" He asked. I exhaled a cloud of smoke.

"I don' wan' an early retirement, Ill try to take this kid ou',take my crown back if ye will." I felt my tongue play with the corner of my mouth. " Ill talk to the Daughters tha' are here. Decide wha' ta do from there." I said. He nodded.

"Sounds like a solid plan."

"If enough of them are uncomfortable with the idea, I'll take myself ou' o' the game an' jus' run ammo an' guns in the states." I said.

"Its the righ' thing ta do burd." He put a hand on my shoulder.

"Sure." I said. He gave me a quick kiss.

" I have ta ge' back." I nodded. I pulled out the cellphone.I called Dawn.

"Hello?" She answered.

" Ge' the res' of the club up here. We have business ta discuss." I said.

"Whats going on? Can't it wait until we get back to arizona?" She asked.

"It can', it needs ta happen now, I need them up here as quick as possible. Its aboo' my ou'side career. " I said.

"Oh shit, are they finally onto you?"
"No, but we all need to talk in case they should know the risks they could be taking."

"Alright. I'll get them up here." She said. I hung up. If they left today, they'd arrive in the middle of the night. I saw Jax.

"Hey lad, Im sorry I keep invadin' yer space an' all but do ye think ye have a good spo' fer my charter to meet? Clay sanctioned it." I asked, jogging up to him.

"Yeah, no problem, you guys could use here, or even the clubhouse." He smiled.

"Thanks lad."

"Hey, is what Im hearing true? Youre a mercenary?" He asked.

" Aye, its true." I said. " I hope you lads can keep my secret, should any governmen' ge' an idea on who the Ulchabhán is, Im in big trouble." I said.

"Your fine, I was just curious, if your an infamous mercenary, why did Chibs get a good one on ye last night?" I laughed.

"Didn' wan' ta embarrass him. Though he's being a cocky ass aboo' it, maybe nex' time I'll jus' lay him oo' before he can ge' a hi'." Jax laughed.

" I would love to see you go all out on one of these guys one day. You should look into underground fighting, or even legal fights, I bet you can make a ton of money."

"Theres an idea. I'll think aboo' it lad." I said, starting to walk away.

"Dont take it too easy with Chibs." I stopped and turned.

"Wha' was tha'?" I asked.

" He likes the idea that your dangerous. Dont go easy on likes bad or dangerous girls." He said.

"Laddy, Im no girl." I said winking at him before walking away.

It was nearly eleven when the girls arrived. By then, the only one to not approach me about my career from the Sons of Anarchy was Happy. We sat around a table in the clubhouse, Clay and Jax had locked everyone in their meeting room to discuss the same thing.

"Alrigh' lassies, The Sons have accepted my proposal of partnership, how ever because of what I do, they may terminate it." They grew restless." I am a mercenary, a professional assassin. If im caught, I can now be traced back to you. So as we are a democracy, I am leavin' me fate up ta ye. I can go and take back me title as bes' in the world, continue until I say, or I can le' some baby face from Moscow take over and focus here. These are the first issue we vote on concernin' me. All in favor of me steppin' down." I set the vote, but no one wanted me to step down. "All in favor of showing the kid who really is ta be the bes'?" I set the vote, each girl raised their hands. I felt proud then.

"Ye should know that if I ge' caugh' ye could be in some trouble." I said."Especially if I am yer Presiden'." I sighed.

"We're puttin' it ta vote. If ye wan' me ta step down until I retire, I'll do so." No one raised their hands.

"If your caught, and I am assuming thats a big if, we'll all just say we dont dig into each others personal lives." My friend Lila, said.

"Are we in agreemen'?" I asked. Everyone said they were.

"All righ' then lassies. We are in business." I said standing. I knocked on the door to the meeting room, Chibs answered.

"I am remainin' Presiden' of the Devil's Daughters an' I'll be remainin' in my business." He nodded and went to turn. I grabbed his arm. "I asked everyone bu' ye lad. How do ye fee' aboo' this?" He looked down at me and sighed.

"Do wha' makes ye happy, an' we'll work through it." I nodded and stepped back. He closed the door and their meeting began.

"We're leaving tomorrow unless the Sons need us fer somethin'. Do as ye will tonigh' We'll hang around until dawn. Do yerselves a favor, and don' leave Charmin' unless yer in groups of three or more. Shoul' the Mayans hear tha' we're partners with the Sons we could have trouble." I said. I grabbed a bottle, and sat on the couch waitin'fer the Sons' meeting to adjourn, it seemed to take forever. But then the door opened. I stood and walked over. Clay greeted me.

"We are in this together girlie." He said. I smiled. " The boys love the idea of having you at our disposal." I laughed.

"My work comes at a price, but fer ye I'll try an cu' ye a deal." He laughed, and put an arm around me.

"You want to tell your girls?"He asked. I looked out over the party that started.

"I take it they know, I'll give them the official word later." I said.

"We want you girls to stay in Charming. Especially a lady with your talents." He said.

" Well, I can do tha' I don' have a family. The others may no' be so inclined." I said. "We'll talk it through, put it ta vote." I said. He nodded. I felt my phone buzzing in my pocket. I waded outside and answered it.

" Allo?"

" Is this the Ulchabhán?" A British voice asked. I leaned against a door frame.

"Aye, speaking." I said.

" I have a job for you." I smiled, ask and ye shall receive.

"I'm in the States righ' now. Fly me oo' to the site, Give me the details, an' Ill consider it." I heard a sigh.

"Ok. Where are you at?"

"Charmin' California."

"Your flight is tomorrow night at nine from Oakland. Is that enough time to get your things in order?" He asked.

"Aye, an' when ye pick me up call me Anne O'Reilly." I said.

"Very well." They hung up. I lit up a cigarette.

"Ye arn' inside." Chibs came up to me.

" I had a call ta take." I said.

"Oh?" He asked.

" I go' a job I need ta look at." I said.

"Where at?" He asked.

" I'll be gettin' the information in London it sounds like. I'll research the targe' an' decide if I'll take it. If I take the job, I do it, then come home."

"Are ye goin' ta base oo' of Charmin'?" He asked.

"It'll be pu' to a vote." I told him, I tossed the cigarette butt onto the ground, and ground it out with the toe of my boot." I looked at him."Are ye alrigh' with it?" I asked.

"Ye seem more at ease, more commandin' if tha's at all possible." I smiled. " Yer business is yer elemen' anyone coul' see it. Im alrigh' with it." He kissed me.

"I need ta be in Oakland jus' before nine tomorrow nigh', preferably eigh' so I can ge' through security." I said.

" Tha's doable." I touched his cheek.

"Yer a saint." I said.

" Go tell Clay, then we'll ge' yer drunk ass home." He said.

"Im no' tha' drunk.'' I defended myself.

"No' ye' yer no'." He laughed. We walked inside. His arm around my shoulders and mine around his waist.

"Clay, I go' a job. Over in the UK. I'll be leavin' tomorrow. Try to handle everything through Dawn. I'll still have my cell if ye run into anythin' ye can' contac' me tha' way. " He nodded, smiling.

"Do what you need to do. We'll be here when you get back."
"Yer all sain's Im convinced now." Both men laughed,

"Take her home Chibs before she starts doing knife tricks again." I smiled.

"I can do tha', it's grea' entertainmen'."
"Alrigh' burd, lets go." Chibs said, winking at Clay. I let him guide me out. He put me into a car and drove to his apartment. He helped me up the stairs.

"Jesus, I haven' been this jaked since I got to Scotland." I sighed as we struggled up the stairs.

"Yer alrigh'." He said opening the door. He deposited me on the couch and grabbed a glass, he filled it with handed it to me and watched me drink it.

"Filip, I wan' ye ta know, tha' Im all in when it comes to us. Ye know everythin', an' i would never lie ta ye." I said.

"I know burd, i know." He said letting me put my head in his lap.

" Im excited ta ge' back into the swing of things, bu' I don' want ta leave ye." I whispered.

"You'll be back before ye know it." He said. I smiled and fell asleep.

In the morning I packed my things into a regular backpack, I wouldnt be gone that long. Later Chibs drove me to the airport. I was nervous, what if space and time made him realise I was a mistake?

"Ye have my number, if anythin' happens, call. Make sure my bike doesnt get destroyed, i know how crazy yer lives are. Dawn can-" I was going through everything for a millionth time.

"Don' worry burd, everythin' will be fine. " Chibs cut me off. "Give us a call when ye ge' back." He said. I smiled and kissed him.

"I'll be back in a couple of weeks." I said.

"I will see ye then." And with that, I turned and made my way through security
