Lana stepped out of her car as she pulled up to the clubhouse. Some of the nomads were in town and Gemma had sent Lana to get some stuff from the store for the party that night. She reached out to open the back door to get the bags out when she was suddenly pushed up against the car.
"Your car sounds like shit again. When are you gonna break down and get a new one?" Kozik asked, holding onto her hips with his nose pressed into her neck.
She turned around in his arms to face him. "I happen to like this car."
"You've had it forever. It's got 180,000 miles on it. Get over it, babe."
"How 'bout I get over you, babe?" She mocked, pushing him away and opening the door.
"Well I'm getting tired of fixin it for you." He said.
"That's ok." Lana shoved some bags at him and patted him on the chest. "I got a backup mechanic." She smirked, kissing him on the cheek before grabbing the rest of the bags and pushing her car door shut with her hip.
"I mean it, Lana. You're getting a new car." Kozik said, following her across the lot.
"We'll see." She said, walking through the door and setting the bags down on the counter in front of Gemma.
"Thanks baby." Gemma said.
Kozik grabbed Lana around the waist before she could mutter a 'you're welcome' to the older woman. He sat back on the barstool and pulled her against him. She lifted her hands to his five 'o clock shadow and melted into his kiss.
She was so into the moment that she barely registered the loud group of sons enter the bar until Happy spoke. "Lana."
She sighed and broke the kiss, resting her forehead against Kozik's for a moment with her eyes closed. "Make him go away." She whispered to Kozik, making him laugh.
"Hey, I'm talking to you, girl." Happy came up behind her and tugged on her ponytail.
"And I'm in the middle of something." She turned to face him, hand on her hip.
"You'll have plenty of time for that fucker later. I'm heading to Reno with the nomads." He said, taking the shotglass the prospect had just slid across the bar to him.
Lana froze, unsure if she completely trusted him after his last run. He saw the look on her face and turned towards her more. "Relax. I ain't gonna go near any sweetbutts, I promise."
She narrowed her eyes at him, trying to read him. She believed him, but she still had her insecurities. She sighed. "I guess I have no choice but to trust you."
His jaw twitched, irritated at himself for giving her reason not to.
"How long are you gonna be gone?" She asked.
"Don't know." He said.
"When are you leaving?"
"Tomorrow."
"Tomorrow?!" It drove her crazy that she never found these things out more than a couple days in advance.
He sighed, suddenly in a sour mood. He knew it was his own fault though. It was the guilt of his own mistake coming back to bite him in the ass. "Yes, Lana, tomorrow. You got a problem with that?" He glared at her and slammed his shot glass down on the bar, hitting the counter with his open palm to signal that he wanted more.
"Well you don't have to be an asshole about it." She said, rolling her eyes.
He was glaring at her so intensely that he didn't notice the prospect pour his shot until Lana reached out and grabbed it, drinking it before he could react and irritating him further. "Dammit, Lana." He complained.
A smirk tugged at the corner of her mouth, which only fueled his anger. "Relax, baby, there's more." She said, reaching in front of him and grabbing the bottle from the prospect. She grinned at him and then took a sip before he grabbed the bottle away from her.
"Quit smiling. You can't fix everything with just a pretty face or a tight pussy." He ground out, walking away, leaving her staring after him with a raised eyebrow.
"What the fuck's got his panties in a twist?" She asked, turning back to Kozik.
"He does." When Lana looked confused, he continued. "He's pissed the Tacoma thing got brought up again. He's mad at himself, not you."
"Well he brought it up."
"No, you did. The look on your face said it all." He pulled her back into him, his much larger body nearly engulfing her. "Give him a couple hours, let him get a few drinks in him, then go talk to him."
"So he can yell at me for something he did?" She raised her eyebrow again. "Drunk Happy is so much more fun to fight with." She said sarcastically.
He sighed and shook his head. "He's really not as complicated as you make him out to be. He's a guy, Lana. You just gotta play him right and he won't even know what you're doing. Let him hang out for a while, cool off, then shove your tits in his face. He'll forget all about it. You do it all the time."
She grinned. "Apparently I'm really good then, if I don't even realize when I'm doing it."
"The fuck you don't." He smacked her on the ass. "Smartass."
She laughed and leaned in to resume their earlier kiss.
SOA
Lana waited for Happy to have a few drinks before talking to him again. He seemed in a better mood and was talking to a couple of the guys so while Kozik was distracted with a game of pool, she figured it was a good time to slip away and try and talk to Happy. She didn't want him to leave the next day if he was still mad.
She went to the bar and grabbed a couple beers and headed over. Reaching in front of him, she handed him one and took a sip of the other. She watched him as he raised the bottle to his lips, his attention still on Tig, who was saying something about the run to Reno.
She wanted to talk to him, spend some time with him, and make sure they were good before he left, but she knew she'd have to tread carefully to not irritate him again. He was like a ticking time bomb sometimes.
As the guys continued their conversation, Lana stood next to Happy, leaning against him and resting her head on his arm while she traced some of the ink on his arm with her fingers. After a while he handed her his empty beer bottle.
"Get that sweet little ass over there and get me another one, girl." He said, smacking her on the ass.
She raised an eyebrow at him, but conceded and turned back toward the bar. She really started to feel the effects of the alcohol as she made her way across the room and back, all of her inhibitions flying out the window as usual.
Reaching around Happy's waist, she placed the beer in his hand and proceeded to slip her hands under his shirt. Resting her head against his shoulder, she raked her nails over his well-defined abs. He nearly choked on his beer and grabbed her arm, pulling it from under his shirt.
"Chill, Lana. Not now." He said quietly, trying not to distract from the conversation between Tig and Opie.
She narrowed her eyes at him while he still had his head turned toward her and pulled her other arm from under his shirt. "Are you still mad at me?"
If she'd been sober, she would've thought more about how stupid it was to bring up their earlier spat, but she wasn't and she didn't.
He glared at her for a second before turning around and backing her up against the wall. "When the fuck are you gonna learn when enough is enough?" He growled.
His face was only inches from hers and she could smell the tequila on his breath. He rarely drank the stuff because it turned him into one mean son of a bitch. Some of their worst fights had been after he'd drank tequila.
"Sorry." She said, somewhat timidly, just wanting to defuse the situation.
He tightened his grip on her arm. "Don't bring that bitch up again."
She couldn't quell the rage that statement incited in her. Her own drunkenness was clouding her better judgment. She knew he was referring to the sweetbutt he fucked in Tacoma and, remembering Kozik's words from earlier, knew Happy was getting pissed now because she had again, however unintentionally, reminded him of his own mistake. She could understand that, but for him to turn it around on her was bullshit.
She tried to push him away from her. "No, you know what? I'm not sorry. You fucked up, not me!"
"Oh, so the asshole you fucked doesn't count?" He was yelling now, drawing the attention of everyone else in the bar. Neither of them gave a shit at this point that they were about to duke it out in front of the entire club. "Are you too damn good, Lana? Is that it? You can go and do whatever the fuck you want and you don't have to answer for it?! You got two dicks to keep you satisfied and it still ain't enough! Greedy fucking bitch!"
"Fuck you, you son of a bi-"
"Enough." Kozik said sternly, stepping in between her and Happy.
"Call me a son of a bitch again! Say one more fucking word, Lana!" Happy lunged forward, trying to get around Kozik, but the blonde pushed him away.
Happy turned his rage on Kozik, ready to rip apart anyone who got in his way. Lana was his bitch and he wasn't about to let anyone get in his way of dealing with her how he thought she needed to be dealt with. Bitch needed a good ass kicking for once. Maybe that would teach her when to shut up.
He threw the first punch, catching Kozik in the side of the head. The gesture was swiftly returned, with a blow to his jaw. He could feel Kozik's rings cutting into his skin.
Lana was only slightly shocked to see them go at each other. Happy had looked ready to kill her and for Kozik to get in the way of that kind of anger was certainly grounds for a fight. She watched for only a couple seconds before wondering how far they'd take it and then worrying that it might go too far. Happy wouldn't stop until one of them was down for good, whether simply unconscious or dead. She didn't want either.
"Ope…" She said, going to the leather-clad mountain nearby, her gaze sweeping to Tig's and then Jax's faces as well. People had moved out of the way to give them space and she hoped this wasn't going to be like the usual fight where a couple of the guys had some small beef with each other and everyone stood back and watched, letting them work it out. This was more serious.
Apparently that was just her opinion, because Opie just looked at her apologetically and shook his head. This was how the club functioned. Two members weren't getting along for whatever reason, let them beat the crap out of each other until they got it out of their systems. She'd never had an issue with that logic until now.
She looked back to Happy and Kozik when she heard a loud crash. Happy had stumbled into one of the tables, distracting him long enough for Kozik to catch him under the jaw. She couldn't watch so she turned for the door.
She crossed the lot and took a seat on the steps to the office, not wanting to be in hearing distance of any of it. She was unsure how long she sat there until Lyla came out a while later.
"You ok?" The blonde asked.
"Did they kill each other?" Lana asked, only half joking.
Lyla shook her head. "No. They sure did a number on each other, but they're both still standing."
Lana sighed and stood. Re-entering the clubhouse, she saw Happy holding onto the edge of the table as he touched his face and then pulled his hand back to look at the blood.
Kozik was wiping some blood from his lip with a towel and still glaring at Happy. He was closer to her and she wasn't sure how Happy would take to her being near him right now, so she went to Kozik and grabbed his face, inspecting the damage.
After a moment, she turned to look at Happy, who was glaring at her now. She let go of Kozik and carefully stepped towards Happy. She hesitated for a moment before placing her hand on his arm and pulling him back toward the dorms, giving Kozik a look to follow as well.
She got a wet wash cloth from the bathroom and started cleaning up Happy's face first. His cuts were worse. Kozik had definitely had the advantage with Hap being so drunk. He stared at her while she gently washed the blood from his face. Then she moved on to his bruised and swollen knuckles, pressing the cold rag on his hand to soothe the soreness.
She looked up at him as she held it there. "I'm sorry." She said for the second time that night.
"Now you're sorry?" He asked irritably.
"Hap, quit it." She said. "I don't wanna fight. We're both drunk and said some mean shit. I'm trying to apologize and I'd appreciate it if you'd at least listen. I never meant to bring that bitch up. If I wanted to rub it in your face, I would've done it already and I sure as hell wouldn't be subtle about it. Yeah, I don't exactly trust you like I did before, but I'm fucking trying so quit being a jerk about it."
He sighed and then looked away and she grabbed his face and sat in his lap so he'd have to listen. "We both fucked up, ok? I'm more than willing to admit to my own shit and I wanna get past it, but I can't just sweep it under the rug and forget it ever happened. It's obviously gonna take more time and effort than I thought, but right now all I'm concerned about is you not being pissed right before you leave. And not because I think it'll push you to fuck some other bitch again, but because I fucking love you and as much as I love pushing your buttons, I don't want you to be mad at me."
He was slightly taken aback at her words. He knew how she felt about him, but it wasn't something she said often, knowing how he was about emotions and all that sentimental stuff. That was one thing he loved about her. She wasn't one of those girls that needed constant reassurance of how he felt about her. She knew and that was enough.
But he did love her and he suddenly felt like the biggest ass ever for getting so pissed at her because of his own bullshit.
He nodded. "You're right. I'm sorry. I'm not mad at you."
"Good." She said, and then she kissed him, long, slow, and deep. The kind of kiss that could make him hard all on its own. He groaned and grabbed her hips after a moment and she pulled away from him then and stood. "Now go finish cleaning yourself up." She tossed the wash cloth at him.
"Fuckin tease." He mumbled as he headed for the bathroom to shower real quick. He was already sore from the fight and a hot shower would help.
"Greedy fuckin tease." Lana corrected with a grin, throwing his words to her earlier back at him. She had no problem admitting she was greedy when it came to her men. Happy just shook his head and she turned to face Kozik.
She pushed him down to sit on the bed and straddled his lap the same way she'd done to Hap. "I don't know if I should slap you for getting into it with him, or thank you for not letting him kick my ass."
He smirked at her. "I'd thank me. He looked like he was ready to kill you."
She let out a small laugh before her expression turned serious. She knew he was right. "Are you two good now? I never wanna come between you guys. You've been friends forever and I don't want you two to end up with shit between you because this doesn't work out."
"Yeah, we're good. You think we haven't beat the shit outta each other before?" He laughed, making her laugh too.
"Just for the record: I love you too." She said before she kissed him and stood, pulling him up with her without breaking the kiss. She led him to the bathroom and began removing her clothes. He followed her lead and grabbed her when she turned to step into the shower. He ran his hands over her body roughly and stopped on her breasts, squeezing and pressing his erection into her ass before releasing her.
Lana glanced over her shoulder at him and then stepped into the shower and wrapped her arms around Happy, running her nails down his back and reaching up to kiss him. She felt Kozik press into her again and she pushed back against him. A moment later, he turned her around to face him and took her lips in a demanding kiss.
She loved it when they turned all alpha male on each other and demanded her attention. Maybe some of that adrenaline from the fight was still coursing through their veins.
She felt Happy behind her grab her hips and pull her against him, Kozik's hand raising to her breasts again, rolling her nipples in between his fingers. He lowered his mouth to her shoulder, shooting Happy a look that dared him to try and redirect her attention back to him. The killer glared back, but didn't take the dare. There was definite competition between them, that was part of what made the whole thing so exciting for them, but they weren't going to full on fight about it. They still respected each other too much.
Kozik ran his hands down Lana's sides and under her ass, lifting her up and onto his cock. She wrapped her arms around his neck and let him take control, moaning when he began lifting her and then lowering her back down onto him.
Happy was still right behind her and had reached one hand around her, massaging her breast. She happened to catch the look Kozik was aiming over her shoulder, the slightly narrowed eyes and then a spark of something else. Interest? Excitement? When Kozik stopped his movement and held her still, she turned her head and caught Happy's eye, wondering what they were doing now.
She suddenly realized Happy's other hand was on his cock when she felt him place it at her entrance, right next to Kozik. Kozik lifted her up slightly, giving Happy a little more room and she felt him slowly slide in and moaned loudly at the sensation of both of them in her pussy at the same time.
Kozik lowered her back down then and she moaned again, even louder. He began lifting her up and down over both of them while they stayed still. Moving her was easier than both of them trying to move together.
She didn't hold it together for long before she came, the fullness of both of them filling her up making her drop her head forward onto Kozik's shoulder, one hand on his other shoulder and her other hand reaching behind her on the back of Happy's neck.
Her muscles tightened around them and Kozik pressed his thumb to her clit and continued to lift her up and down, immediately making her come again.
Happy lifted his hand to her throat and bit down on her shoulder. There was something so primal about both gestures that they both loved. He soon followed her and grabbed her hip, forcing her down onto both him and Kozik as he came.
Kozik continued to move the whole time, his hand moving up to grab a handful of Lana's hair. Happy began slowly moving once he was done, creating more friction as his movements were not synced with Kozik's, and therefore sending Lana over the edge again. Her orgasm was enough to finish Kozik off this time.
Once Kozik was done, he gently lifted her up and off of both of them and she almost whimpered at the sudden emptiness she felt.
A little while later once they'd gotten out of the shower, Lana crawled into the bed next to Happy. Kozik slid in behind her and she turned her head and rested it against his shoulder. It suddenly didn't matter to her how hard any of it was or how difficult either of her men were. She didn't care how hard club life was or how many whores were sitting around just waiting to snatch one of her men up. She was right where she wanted to be, where she needed to be. She'd spend the rest of her life trying to make this work if she had to.
