Constance McLoud moved to Charming with her two children after her divorce to start over. The last person she ever expected to find was the first man that she ever loved. Happy Lowman has just patched in as a member of SAMCRO. He's always prided hi...
Connie shook her head and wondered again how she had been talked into this. She was currently following Happy to the clubhouse while Gemma stayed at the house with Maddie until Nate got home from school. Gemma had promised to bring the kids to Teller-Morrow later, telling Happy and Connie to take their time at the cabin.
They pulled into the lot of TM and Happy pointed to a spot where he wanted her to park. He got off of his motorcycle and walked over as she was getting out of the car.
"We'll leave your car here and take the bike. I just need to pick up something before we go."
Connie grinned and shook her head. "I don't know how to ride a motorcycle. That's probably not a good idea."
Happy grinned and leaned down. "Come on, Con, live a little. You remember how to hold onto me, right? You'll be fine."
Connie scoffed as Happy chuckled. "Why are you being flirty all of a sudden?"
Happy shrugged. "I now know that there isn't a husband in my way."
Without waiting for a reply, he strode off toward the clubhouse, disappearing inside. Connie leaned against her car and looked around, seeing Tig walk her way. He nodded as he rested a hip beside her on the car.
"Hap getting you taken care of?"
Connie turned to look at the grinning man beside her. "I could take that several different ways, ya know."
His grin just got wider as he chuckled quietly. "Yeah, I know, but I meant the ex-husband thing."
Connie shook her head and blew out a breath. "Does everyone know my business?"
Tig shrugged as he lit a cigarette. "Yeah, but you're family, you and the kids, so we need to know this shit."
Connie stared at the taller man. "I'm not family, Tig. You've all known me a few days. I'm practically a stranger."
Tig shook his head. "You don't get it, doll. Happy is my brother. That makes him family to me and every other guy, and you mean something to him, so that makes you family." He threw his cigarette butt down and sighed as he crossed his arms. "Stick around long enough, and you'll find out all kinds of shit about us that you would probably rather not know, but one thing you need to understand is that we take care of our own." He shrugged and grinned as he threw an arm around her shoulders. "You belong with us, now. You and the kids, and we won't let anyone hurt any of you. Not anymore."
Tig kissed her on top of the head as Happy came walking out of the building opposite them, carrying a small bag. He stopped to stow it in his saddlebags before walking over to where Tig and Connie were waiting. He smirked at Tig as he pulled Connie away from the other man and under his own arm.
"You pushing up on my girl, man?"
Tig shook his head and laughed as Connie stared up at Happy. "Your girl?"
Tig grinned as he reached over and ruffled Connie's hair. "Nah, man, we were just chatting. Have a nice ride, Connie."
Tig winked at her as Happy just grinned down at her before taking her hand and leading her over to his bike. Connie eyed the bike nervously as Happy pulled out a helmet and placed it on her head, making sure the chin strap was snug. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as put on his own helmet. "Relax, babe. All you have to remember is to hold onto me and lean when I do. It's easy." He started the bike and it roared to life as he looked over and grinned at her before motioning with his head. "Come on, climb up here."
Connie took a deep breath, and with his shoulders as support, climbed onto the back of the bike. She grasped the sides of his kutte with both hands but that must not have been good enough for Happy. He reached back and gripped her thighs with both hands, pulling her snugly against his body before wrapping her arms around his waist and bringing her hands together above his belt buckle. He squeezed her hands before letting go as if silently telling her to leave them where he put them. She nodded before letting her chin rest on his shoulder.
As they pulled out of the lot and started down the road to take them out of Charming, Connie couldn't help the smile that began to form. She thought to herself that it must have been the most exhilarating feeling she'd ever had. Her body pressed up against Happy's, the vibration of the engine between her legs, the wind blowing past them as they sped down the highway. The difference between the warmth of Happy in front of her and the cool air around her was breathtaking, to say the least.
They rode for a while, Connie didn't know how long and she didn't care. She was enjoying the experience so much that she sighed with disappointment when they finally pulled into a driveway cutting into the woods and parked beside an old hunting cabin.
As they pulled up and parked at the cabin, Happy couldn't remember the last time he'd had a woman ride bitch behind him, if ever, but he knew that the only one he wanted behind him was Connie. The feel of her body pressed up against his was just enough to drive him crazy, and he was a little disappointed when he cut the engine and she slowly got off the bike. He swung a leg over as she took off her helmet and laid it on the seat, shaking her hair out into a mass of waves.
He tried not to stare but failed miserably as she looked at the cabin then back to him. "So the club owns this place? Is it like a vacation spot or something?"
Happy grinned and nodded. "Yeah, something like that. A guy can bring his family up for a couple days to relax, and sometimes we conduct... business here."
Connie just nodded as he reached into the storage compartment on the bike for the bag he had placed there earlier. He took her hand in his and led her around the cabin to the back, where a makeshift shooting range was set up. He felt her hand squeeze his and felt a little twinge, but ignored it for the moment. He needed a clear head if he was going to teach her to protect herself and the kids. He knew she had questions about him and the club, and he'd answer them as truthfully as he could, but right now, her learning to shoot was the top priority.
