Chapter Eleven

Pete

“Remember that time you dressed up in tactical gear, dragging me along with you? Armed with water balloons!” Nina says as she drowns the rest of her drink. She signals the waitress to bring us another round.

“I did that for you!” Says Katie. “You were so into Shane, you would have never made a move if I hadn't bombarded him with the balloons and sent you out there to be his night and shining armor.”

“Pupff… Yes I would have.” Nina says as she rolls her eyes.

Katie crosses her arms over her chest “No, you wouldn't have. Don't give me that bullshit.”

Nina has a devilish grin on her face. She leans back, hands splayed on the table.

“Well do you remember when you did that small stint in the band in high school?”

Katie's face flushes “Do not go there. I mean it.”

“Oh no this I've gotta tell. Katie here was in the marching band, she played the symbols. They were performing for the football team. It was so hot out that day. During the performance the guy behind her stepped on her ridiculous outfit. Why they made those coat tails so long on the uniform I will never know. Well she didn't know he stepped on them until her top was ripped right off her. She didn't have anything underneath the uniform because of the heat.”

“Yea, I was half naked, I was so embarrassed. I used the symbols in a desperate attempt to cover myself as I ran off the field crying my eyes out. The entire stadium was laughing at me as I ran for my life.” Katie puts her hand over her eyes. She is so embarrassed, trying my best to hold back the laughter building in my gut. I pull her close, holding her in my arms.

“I can top that.” I say to ease the tension.

“This I've got to hear. You have gotten all the goods from us tonight. We need some dirt on you.” Nina says while rubbing her hands together.

A thankful look spreads across Katie's face “I was in ROTC in highschool. We had a performance for a fundraiser event on our football field as well. We were on the field executing a perfect routine. I threw my weapon up in the air, when I knelt to one knee to catch it unbeknownst to me the buttons on my uniform flew off. I didn't wear underwear that day because like the stupid kid I was, I forgot to pack any. Well when I stood up my pants fell all the way down, exposing me to the crowd. I unlike you had nothing to aid in covering myself up with. I cupped my hands the best I could around myself. I started running to the exit of the field. I took a couple steps and fell to the ground. I still had my pants around my ankles. Any attempt of coverage gone as I layed there junk hanging out. Danny ran up, pulled my pants over me. Helped me up and I held my pants while he escorted me off the field.” We all laugh at my expense. The girls cry, they are laughing so hard.

We go on telling stories and chit chatting about everything. The more they drink the funnier they become. I have been nursing this last beer for over an hour now, knowing I will have to be the responsible one to drive everyone home tonight. I just sit back and watch their interaction with each other. I feel right at home. So carefree, how I have been accepted into their lives. I look over at Katie, her eyes are glazing over. Her body slumping into the cushions, she's holding a napkin in her hand. She's ripping it into shreds. “Hey whatcha doin there?” I say as I pick up one of the little pieces.

She grabs the pieces and throws them in the air. “Confetti!” She exclaims, a hiccup escapes her “Cel-celebrating my wi-win.”

Nina is swaying in her seat. Singing Hot in Herre by Nelly, off key of course. Things went south fast. I stand and extend my hand to Katie.

“I should get you two home.” I say. Katie takes my hand, she tries to get out of the booth. She's fumbling around trying to scoot her body to the edge of the bench. She finally gets to her feet. Taking a step she trips, falling right into my arms. I hold her up by her armpits.

Nina comes up behind me and shouts “Time to party!” As she starts dancing, using the edge of the booth for support. As she attempts to twerk. She is barely moving, her eyes are closed, every pump of her hips makes her feet slip. If I let her continue she will be flat on her ass. I sit Katie back down on the booth. I walk up to Nina and grab a hold of her waist. “What do you think you are doing big boy? This is not an all you can eat buffet.” What? Geeze she's drunk. Nina tries to pull my hands off of her. I sat her down in the booth. I look over to see Katie downing another drink. Where did she get that?

I take the drink out of her hand. “Listen up you two. Do you hear me?” They nod their heads. “Good, I’m going to get the car and pay the bill. Can you just sit here and wait for me to get back?” They nod their heads. I don't believe they are going to listen so as I pay the bill I ask the waitress to keep an eye on them and head out to bring the car out front.

When I return they both have their heads on the table. They passed out. I pick them up one at a time and bring them to the car. I drove them to Katie's house. Shamefully dug through Katie’s purse to find her keys. And carried them one by one to her bed. Once I took their shoes off and tucked them in I got them each a glass of water and placed trash cans on their sides of the bed.

Two Weeks Later…

Feeling like the luckiest man on earth. Katie and I have been together for four weeks now. Spending as much time together as we possibly can. I didn't know I could be this happy. She has rekindled the flame inside of me that had been extinguished for a long time now. She makes me want to go out and enjoy life again. We have gone rock climbing, hiking, and to the lakes a few times. Nina had joined us at the lake, she had really accepted me. She treats me as the older brother she never had. Never in my life did I feel that I could be whole again.

The night I dropped them off at Katie’s completely s**t faced I came home to an empty house and went to the attic. I painted incessantly for hours until I fell asleep on the floor. When I woke up the next morning with a terrible crick in my neck I saw the most beautiful painting on my easel. It has been a long time since my art has reflected anything remotely jovial.

Today I am going to Katie’s with take out so we can binge on some Sons of Anarchy. Every chance we get this show is on. She was right about the show. I'm so addicted, we are at the part where Gemma murders Tara in the kitchen with a carving fork. Juice helps her cover up what she has done. I have to know how Jax ends up finding out and what he's going to do to her when he does.

Standing at her doorway with food in hand Katie opens the door. “Hey there.” She says as she opens the door for me to get past her. I sit the bags down on her counter. “Hey beautiful.” I say as I pull her into me and place a kiss on her lips. “I have a surprise for you.”

“For mua? Let me see.” She says as she looks me up and down.

“Go sit on the couch and close your eyes.” I say to her as I release her from my embrace.

She goes to the couch and closes her eyes.

“No peeking.” I say.

“I would never.” She says as she puts her hands over her eyes spreading her fingers looking right at me.

Pointing at her “What do you call that then.”

“Just seeing what I can get away with.” She says smugly, as she closes her eyes fully this time.

I open her front door and grab her gift that I leaned against the wall. Standing in front of her my nerves get the best of me. What if she hates it? Nauseous, bile fighting its way up the back of my throat. She opens her eyes before I can retreat. A gasp slips past her lips. She carefully takes it out of my hands, studying it. “It's astonishing.” She says as she angles her head. “Did you paint this?” She says as she runs her fingers over the spot where I signed my name.

“I did, the night I dropped you and Nina at your apartment.” I have never given away a painting of mine before. I hadn't considered it until I saw what I had created that night. Art is my escape, a way to work things out in my head. There are only three people in the entire world that have even seen my work. Danny, Jax, and Jax's mother. Danny has said for years now that I should sell them. I told him that I could never do that, they are precious to me and seeing them go to someone else was like selling a part of my soul.

Her eyes welled up with tears. I did something wrong. I sat down next to her.

“What's wrong?” I say as I whip a tear from streaking down her cheek.

She doesn't say anything for a moment, my heart is hammering in my chest. I don't know what to do with my hands. I rub them against my thighs. “I can't believe you painted me. The shapes and colors, gestural marks. It takes my breath away. It's the most thoughtful gift I have ever been given.”

My lungs filled with air, I didn't realize I wasn't breathing. She gets it, she gets me. The weight on my chest lifted. Looking me in the eyes “Thank you Pete. I didn't even know you painted.”

“Not something I share with just anyone. This is actually the first piece of art I have ever parted with.” Gesturing to the painting.

“Really? You have never shared with anyone else? Why me?”

“You are special to me Katie. When I saw this sitting in my easel the next morning I knew it was destined for you to have.” She grabs my hands, tears trickling down her cheeks.

“I would love to see your studio.”

“You would?”

She shakes her head “It would be an honor.”

She stands up from the couch, extends her hand. I grab it, she guides me to her room. She pushes me onto her bed. Taking her shirt over her head, pushing her shorts off letting them drop to the floor. She's standing in front of me in a brown lace lingerie set. I can see her n*****s through the fabric. My mouth waters as my eyes sear her skin. Making quick work of taking my clothes off. Laying in my boxers, she crawls onto the bed, straddling my lap. I grab the back of her neck pulling her mouth to mine. Our tongues circled each other. She nips at my bottom lip. Peppering kisses down my body. My length stiffens. She reaches her hands down pulling my boxers off. Gripping my d**k with her hand pumping me. I lay back, hands behind my head. Letting her take what she wants.

She sucks me into her mouth. So warm. I easily get lost in this woman. Bringing me in and out with her hand tickling my balls. I can feel my balls tighten. My orgasm building. I don't want to come in her mouth this time. I need to be inside her. I pull her off my c**k. Flip her to her back. My hands exploring every curve of her.

I grab ahold of her lingerie, I rip it off her body. “Oh my god Pete.” She says as her chest heaves. I throw it to the side. I bury my head between her legs, Flattening my tongue and licking up her arousal. She is soaked, ready for me. I lap her up, she squeezes my head with her thighs. I reach up and pinch her n****e. “Yes, f**k yes, Pete.” I roll her other n****e in my fingers. I feel her tense in my mouth. “I’m going to come.” She says. I pull away from her.

“Why did you stop?” She sits up and says to me, I walk over to my pants, pulling out a condom. I tear it open and roll it down my length. “I need to be inside you Katie.”

She lays back, opening her legs for me. Hovering over her. I take her mouth in mine. I line up my c**k at her entrance, rubbing it through her arousal. She's writhing beneath me. I slide my tip inside her. So tight, so warm. She groans in pleasure. Opening wider for me. I press another inch. She digs her nails into my back. As she tightens her legs. “You need to relax for me baby.” I say.

“I know, you are just so big.” She says as I take her mouth in mine. Cupping her breast in my palm. Her legs relax, opening for me. I push all the way in, bottoming out. So tight around me, I hold still for a moment, gathering my bearings. If I move I'll come. “You're so big.” She says. I suck her pebble into my mouth, nipping, sucking, rolling my tongue around. She starts moving her hips.

I pulse in and out of her. She wraps her legs around my waist. Angeling so I bottom out with each thrust. In and out. In and out. “Pete! I'm right there.” She says as she pulls my hair. I place my thumb on her c**t, applying pressure that I know will make her combust. I plunge harder, faster. One, two. “f**k!” She says as her p***y convulses against me. My stomach hollows, balls tighten, the base of my spine tingle. “Motherfucker!” I shout as I come so hard. Milking out our orgasms. I pull out of her, dispose of my condom. I go to the bathroom to wash off and grab her a washcloth to clean up.

I lay in the bed with her, snuggling in close. I use the washcloth to clean her. Completely slated she molds her body into me and drifts off to sleep.

After our nap we watched a couple episodes of Sons, while eating our Gyros. Katie insisted that my painting needed to be hung above her bed. I helped her position it in the perfect spot. Which led us to another round in her bed. After being inside her I can't get enough. I couldn't have asked for a better way to lay claim to this beautiful woman. She took me with care, passion, and grace. No pity for my gift, just great appreciation. I can feel myself getting deeper and deeper with this woman. It might just be time for her to meet Jax. I'm nervous of course. We haven't talked about him much lately. She is giving me the time to process our relationship. Not pressuring me to meet him. I know when he meets her, he will fall in love immediately.

After helping her clean up the trash I told her I had to get going to take over with Jax. She said she had a big meeting with her publisher in the morning and had to get a good night's rest anyway. As she walked me to the door, we had a very hard time saying goodbye. We made out for a good five minutes, saying goodbye again to make out all over again. We can't keep our hands to ourselves. Finally pulling ourselves away from each other I headed home.
