DAISY

I was watching the front doors since we opened, it was going on 9am and Vic hasn't even showed up. What if my teasing seemed intentional? What if he was mad at me?

I bit my lip and focused on my tables. The busier we got the less I looked at the door while I sipped my water. Maybe he was sleeping in. I just needed to stay calm.

I was walking back towards the coffees when I saw a bike sitting outside, I paused as I set the coffee pot down and slowly looked around the diner. I set me eyes on his MC brother but not Vic. I nodded with a smile at Kiwi and he nodded back.

I took that as a sign he wasn't coming in for breakfast and I hustled for my tables and tips and make sure to keep Kiwi stocked on snacks and drinks since he seemed to be the one to watch over me today.

I walked around until my lunch and then I took my sandwich outside to sit in the sun a little more. I had some fries and even got a soda for a pick me up. I ate in silence, made sure I didn't leave much so the cooks didn't hassle me about not eating, and I headed back in. My feet had gotten a little relief and I was back for the mild lunch rush.

I walked over to Kiwi and he was joking with me a little for expecting someone else and I shook my head as I giggled and then I felt it. Someone watching me.

I checked the tables to see if anyone was looking for a check, but they were all still eating and a couple singles in a booth and the tables were still looking at menus.

I walked past one and he set the menu down and smiled at me. "Oh, ready?" I asked and clicked my pen.

"What do you recommend. I think I saw you eating something outside, you work here, gotta have the inside scoop." He set his menu down and I smiled wide. Sometimes when people "flirted" it was their personality, and 80% of the time if you're nice they leave a big tip.

"I'm a sandwich girl, I eat anything on bread." I giggled and he nodded. "I had the Cajun fries, the turkey club with added bacon, and then a simple soda. But the milkshakes are to die for."

"No free milkshakes for lunch huh?" He asked and I giggled again.

"Severely lactose when it comes to milk, which is good because our milkshakes are pure ice cream and milk, so I've heard they're really good." I told him and he nodded slowly.

"Alas, I am also lactose intolerant. No milkshakes for me unless you have sherbet." He laughed and I nodded. "How about you get me what you had. I'm in town checking out businesses and properties looking for investments, is there a busy area you'd recommend?"

"Sadly I don't get out much. I come here, I go home, I go to the grocery store. No kids so I don't know what's super popular but I have a friend who kind of invests too he owns my apartment building I can ask if he knows anything." I didn't know why I thought that would be a good idea... it was all innocent but if he gave me his number I would feel weird.

"It's ok. I like to do my own research." He smiled and it wasn't a "no thank you" it was genuinely true.

"Ok so turkey club, what kind of soda?" I asked and he of course asked what we had. I listed the row of sodas from memory and he seemed to beam at me.

"All that in your brain?" He asked and I giggled again and nodded.

"I've been working here long enough to memorize the soda machine." I told him. Once I had his order I double checked, "so turkey club, everything? Coke, light ice, and Cajun fries?" I asked and he nodded.

"Add that bacon on there." He pointed and I nodded and wrote that in. "How long is that going to take?"

"Making sure the fries are good it shouldn't be too long." I told him knowing it took less than 10 minutes in a busy kitchen for those things. "I'll be right back with your drink." I nodded and walked off.

I lifted a clean cup, gave it a small scoop of ice and filled it nicely before walking over and setting it down. "Straw?"

"Yes." He nodded and I set one down. I added more napkins and told him things would be right out. "Thank you Daisy." I nodded and walked off before hearing a chain rattling and when I turned back to Kiwi I saw Vic watching me and smirking. He winked and I felt my blush coat my cheeks so I walked over right away.

"Hi baby." He leaned up from the table and gave me a peck on the lips before settling in. "Busy morning?"

"Kept me moving. Sleep in?" I asked and he smiled but didn't say anything.

"Dinner at the club house tonight you in?" He asked me and I bit my bottom lip before nodding. "Good I'll be at your place to pick you up at 5." He told me and I nodded. Gave me an hour after I got home to clean up.

I walked off after letting him have a menu. Saw the sandwich and the fries ready and still steaming hot. I walked right over, dropped them off and asked if the guy needed anything else.

"Any bbq sauce?" He asked and I nodded. I got some in a little cup for him and dropped it off and asked one more time. "I'm good sweetheart." He nodded at me and I walked over to Vic and he was glaring at the guy until I touched his shoulder.

"Anything for lunch?" I asked and he worked his jaw and looked back at the menu.

"You like the steak fries right?" He asked looking up at me.

"With guac and extra cheese is the best." I felt my eyes go a little wide when his hand rested just beyond my ass on my upper thigh and he nodded. "Just that?"

"Going to eat with me?"

"I ate always. Just a sandwich." I told him and he nodded slowly. "Next time let me know when you'll be in and I'll save my break to eat with you." I told him he seemed to realize that would be a good plan.

I put his order in, for his sweet tea and lemon, dropped it all off for him when it was ready and he dug in. I served the other tables as the only waitress and around 2:30 I saw him finally stand when the guy I had been talking to about the sandwiches and milkshakes stand and drop cash on the table.

I had given him the check more than 15 minutes before that so I waited until he was out the door before collecting it all.

He gave me over $40 in a tip... and I saw the look on Vic's face when he saw me put the $20s in my apron.

I walked over to him and he seemed to take a deep breath before pulling out cash of his own. "Now little lady I'll have to stop tipping you so big... gotta save my money for dates and presents and whatever else you might like." He winked again and I blushed hard. His arms slowly wrapped around my waist until his hands rested just above my ass. "You're beautiful and when you're all pink for me." He leaned in and made sure his lips and mine made full contact and his tongue rushed in, hands roamed and groped and he seemed to take away my sanity.

"Be good. Let Kiwi drive you back. I'll see you at 5." He gave my ass another mild grope as he retracted his hands.

"Ok." At least with a ride back it wouldn't take 10 minutes of my time off. I finished out my shift without any more big tips or too much conversation and I immediately went to Kiwi who was outside smoking. "Ready."

He held up the helmet for me and I stepped on the bike carefully and he held me still before getting on. I noticed his vest had small little handles on the side so I grabbed those before he took off.

I kept in close so I didn't get hurt and once he pulled up he helped me off and took his helmet back. "See you tonight." I waved and he revved but stayed out until I was inside the gate and headed for the elevator.

At least this would be over fast, I showered, mostly air dried as I sifted through outfits. I picked probably the only pair of low rise jeans I owned, a nice little off the shoulder shirt, and boots with a thick jacket.

Online shopping was why I had so many clothes I never used... but now that Victor was taking me places I had a reason to wear them, I got to look pretty for him.

I was doing my eye lashes with a little curled and mascara when I heard a knock. I paused knowing he didn't have a key to get in and I was worried about getting the door but I looked through the peephole and saw Vic and Aiden standing together.

I opened the door quick and smiled and hugged Aiden and then Vic kept me close as they moved inside. "Got this for you." I saw him hold out a little box and I felt confused but took it and opened it just to see a V on a necklace.

"Awww how romantic. Claimed and possessive." Aiden sighed like he was watching a romcom happening before him and I swallowed hard as I realized it was all happening so fast.

Victor helped me put the necklace on and Aiden seemed to wait around as I finished getting ready and once we were ready to go Vic made sure to lock up after me and moved us down the hall as Aiden went into his own apartment.

"Have fun!" He shouted as he waved us on.

"How was the rest of your day?" Victor asked once we got to the elevator and headed down.

"It was good, not to busy, Kiwi drove nice and safe." I told him so he didn't worry.

"Good." He whispered and I saw his eyes trailing all over me, it was like he was taking me in, like I was art.

FUSE

I watched my woman and Sabrina talk and giggle and look so incredibly happy as she socialized... I knew it was getting late, and she needed to work tomorrow but I wanted her happy and smiling more. And not her bullshit customer service smile and giggle.

I wanted it all to be genuine happiness. Like the look on her face when she my present. She was surprised and stunned but as soon as my necklace was around her neck she had touched it with a smile I would kill to keep seeing.

Sabbie grabbed her hand when a song she liked came on and I had to clench my jaw as they started to spin around and dance. They weren't dancing for attention, more like to get the liquor out. My girl had 2 beers and was seemingly wasted. It was cute.

Anything she did was f*****g cute.

I watched for a little while longer until I noticed her head on a swivel. I had sat back and enjoyed watching and keeping an eye on her while she bonded with the girls. Sabbie and her were close so I saddled up next to Whiz and he made sure to watch when I wouldn't.

Not that any of the guys would make moves, but it was more of a challenge than anything. For some reason no one would advance on my girl like they did Sabbie so while I got to sit back there were a few times Gash and Kiwi made moves on Sabbie to get her to dance or gamble or something with them and Whiz hated it.

"I wonder why they don't do s**t to my girl." I had commented and Whiz gave me a 'are you dumb' look.

"Brother they have been watching you dote on her for a decade or longer. They know she's yours and you are hers. Plus.. no one wants you to blow up her first time here." He said the last part quick and almost too soft to hear... but I did.

I almost blew up today when a guy was flirting with her at the diner. She had giggled and tossed her hair around but I could tell it was all fake. And she got her big tip, which I can't be mad about, and he still watched me kiss and grope on her before fully leaving anyway.

Punk b***h was probably hoping she was easy or interested in him. Too bad he was an old ass man who didn't even look like he would have anything in common with my woman.

"Chill." I felt a hand over mine and turned to see Sabbie and my woman walking over to me and Whiz. I pulled my chair back enough to pull her onto my lap when she got closer.

I bent her head back by gripping her her hair enough to control her neck and I pushed a little. I groped her ass, pulled her close, she was mine. And the club was going to know.

Her arms wrapped around me and she whimpered and sighed when I tried to pull back and my brain switched off and I kept enjoying her mouth and moans and body.

I wanted her in my room, naked and screaming my name... but I had to let her choose that instead of me pushing for it. I'd never force her into anything let alone push her to move forward.

"Look at you two." I heard behind us and she pulled back and seemed to try and hide so I tucked her face into my chest and glared at Gash.

"Finally together at last." I rolled my eyes at Fiona as she cupped her hands under her chin and looked at me like I was a cute kid playing nicely.

"Yeah yeah, get out of here you vultures." I waved them off and felt my girls burning face against my neck and rubbed her back a little before I left his tongue and lips sucking my skin.

Thank god she was straddling me so they didn't start talking s**t about my pubic boner. I felt her shift against me and pause and I gave her cheek a kiss.

"You're ok baby. Just sit here." I whispered as I let my hands wander and tease her bare skin as she held still against me.

She curled in and I rubbed over her back and before too long I could feel her even breath, she was passed out.

"So her limit is 1 beer." I heard Whiz mutter when he seemed to notice. His woman and Fiona were out dancing now, taking shots and I had to smirk when I saw how annoyed Tank looked at his wife.

There was a strange tension between them when she drank these days, it was like it was a bad idea on his side and a great idea on hers and it just seemed to only be a problem when she was drunk. They would be happy to lucky any other time like nothing was ever wrong in the first place.

I let my girl settle against me. If this was the only way I'd be able to sleep next to her or near her... I'd take it. There was no way she'd be ok on the back of a bike so I lifted myself and her from the seats and held her just right so I could cover my hard on and still make sure she didn't wake up.

I walked down the hall to my room and carefully set her down and took off the shoes and really debated on changing her but knew she might not like it. I clenched my jaw and told myself to shower in cold water and then see what I can do to wake her up to change into shorts of mine and a white t.

I let the cold water wash my frustrations out before stubbing up and then walking out. She was still exactly how I placed her and once I let my cold finger trial over her cheek she had sprung up and pushed my hand away and backed away on the bed before I could calm her down.

"It's ok baby. You're safe." I crouched down and she took a couple deep breaths to calm down and focus on me staring at her.

"Sorry. I should go home." She whispered like she was trying not to piss me off.

"Baby I can't drive and you can't handle the bike right now. I'll set an alarm and we'll get you home and to the diner tomorrow as soon as possible. Ok?" I asked and she looked down at the bed and focused on the sheet in her hand and I reached out to take her hand.

"I just-"

"Baby- nothing is going to happen at all. I'll go get some clothes for you to change so you're comfortable and then I'll step out." I told her and she seemed like she didn't like it. "What's wrong baby?"

"I don't mean to tease you." Her eyes were welling with tears and I was feeling that stabbing gut pain as I climbed onto the bed and rested my forehead on hers.

"You can tease me any time with anything that doesn't mean I have rights to you. Kiss me, hump me, suck on my neck... I don't care. You like it you do it. I'll sort myself out when I can." I tipped her chin up and made sure she was focused on me. "You're mine... tease me all you want."

"But I don't wanna be mean." She sniffled and I kept myself covered and climbed onto the bed with her so she would be right next to me.

"Baby... it's not mean to tease. It's f*****g sexy to me. You could do anything you want. I'm never going to get mad that you made me get it up. But you will never have to apologize- ok?" I asked and she nodded slowly and I kissed her temple and held her close.

"Should we-" f**k now she was unsure.

"I would love to sleep next to you if that's ok." I whispered to her and she gulped and nodded. "Let me get up, get you comfortable and then I'll step out while you change, get you some water and pills for that headache." I gave her lips a quick kiss and she sighed against mine and I leaned in for a quick taste of her tongue before getting up.

I got her shorts, my white t shirt and set them next to her before walking out the door. I didn't worry someone would go in and mess with her so I grabbed a few water bottles, a small bottle of excedrin and headed back to my room taking my time.

I knocked and waited for her to say something before going in. She was under the covers and her hair was down and around her shoulders and she looked nervous.

I stretched as she hydrated and I climbed in bed slowly and she seemed to fidget. "Baby, it's sleep time. Nothing else is going to happen on?" Was she nervous I was going to pressure her? That I'd force myself on her?

I didn't even want to know why she jumped like that when I was trying to wake her up.

Not tonight at least. Or I'd get no sleep.
