It's You

The Club

Dom's POV

-------------------------------------------

Everything is ready when the girls come into the room. Missy covers her mouth and gives me a huge hug. "Oh my goodness Dom, you are the best brother!!" she squealed as she grabs the bowl of milk duds and plops into the beanbag chair. I nod at miles to start the first movie. I chose scary movies because they are Missy's favorite, and I am trying to cheer her up. Tonight was supposed to be her rehearsal dinner and now she has been betrayed in the worst way. She wouldn't ever know what I had done to him, or what I would have done to him once my people got ahold of him. That's for the best, but I can't let him think that he could ever do this to another woman. I won't kill him. I have done a lot of work to get my club away from unnecessary violence. However, I will protect my club, and my family.

Miles and I are constantly making trips back and forth to the kitchen for drinks. We are on to coffee but Missy has been upset all day. It's easy to see the exhaustion on her face. In the middle of the second movie, Missy is asleep in her bean bag chair with Miles asleep next to her. Danny is watching the screen intently waiting for the next jump scare so she can cover her eyes. I scooted closer to her and pat her back a little while I laughed at the look of terror on her face. She elbows me lightly "Not funny Jerk!" she says, laughing at herself a little.

"I thought it was," I said and gave her a little nudge. She leans into my side and I wrap an arm around her like old times. I can't help but feel whole with her next to me. Last night I slept better than I have in years. "I've missed this." I said as I pulled her closer to me and handed her the bowl of pop corn.

"Me too." she said and looked up at me. "Thank you."

"Any time." I said giving her a little squeeze. I continued being her shield from all the scary parts, and when the movie was over i carried Missy upstairs to her and Danny's room.

"Good Night Dom. Thank you again for a fun movie night. I am sure Missy loves you even more for it!" Danny says as she walks me back to the stairs.

"My pleasure, I can't stand seeing my baby sister so sad." I said and before she could move I wrapped her in my arms. "Good night Danny, Sleep tight." I say before heading back down to wake up Miles.

Danny's POV

--------------------------------------

I know its a dream, but I can't wake myself up. I am sitting in the restaurant waiting for James, he is only 20 minutes late, there is a ton of traffic in the city and I try to convince myself that is why he is running late. I have that feeling again, that gnawing feeling that something just is not right. Like I should be panicking and I have absolutely no clue why. I hear the sirens, but its the city and that is normal. The feeling gets stronger and more time goes by, then my phone rings.

"I'm so sorry, Mrs. Cooper, your husband was in a car accident." I called a taxi to take me to the hospital. He was in surgery for hours, and then the doctor came to tell me he was gone. I am screaming and yelling. I know I am making a fool of myself. My husband is dead.

I woke up with tears streaming down my face. I didn't want to wake Missy with all my sobbing, so I walked out into the hall, then down the stairs. It was like I was on auto pilot, straight to Dom's door and I was knocking before I could think better of it. I didn't want to think about it, I wanted the comfort he offered. Even if I knew it would never last. The look of him half asleep when he opened the door, only in sweat pants. I could see the changes in him. His muscular body is so defined and covered in tattoos.

"Danny?" he says, running his eyes. "Is everything OK, what's wrong?' He asks, concern replacing the sleep in his eyes.

"I had a bad dream, and I can't sleep." I said with my head down. He lifts my chin with a finger to make me look up at him.

"Get in here" he said with a smile. Then he leads me over to the bed. He climbs in and lifts the blanket for me and I slide in next to him. His arms engulf me as he pulls me closer so that my back is up against his rock-hard chest. I am instantly aware of the wetness building in my panties. "Is this ok" he asks.

"Yes." I reply "Thank you." Trying very hard to not show how nervous I am, or how aroused I am.

"You never have to thank me for holding you Danny. I am more than happy to hold you all night if you need me to." He says nuzzling the back of my neck, and sending fire through my whole body. A feeling that I though would always be a memory.

"I've missed this." I say before I even though about it, and instantly regret filles me. I can't believe I just said that to him. I don't want him to think that anything can happen between us like before. Neither of us are those kids anymore. I have a life back in California to get back to and kids to save.

"I've missed a lot of things." He says, so close to my neck that I can feel the heat of his breath. My whole body shivers involuntarily. "I can sense that I have an affect on you still Danny. However I will not act upon it until you ask me to. I will simply hold you all night long. Every night that we are together here. Once you ask me to cross that line you will be mine after that, forever."

I didn't respond, his statement was in no need of a response. Hearing it come from him in his husky voice, made desire pool between my legs. I knew that nothing could come of this, but was he saying that maybe there could be? I lay there and wonder if maybe that is something he has thought about, but quickly push the though away. His breathing is even, it calms me and i start to drift of into a sweet dreamless sleep. When I wake up Dom is not beside me and miss his warmth. I am not sure why but there is an ache for him, this terrified me. He came walking into the room with two cups of coffee and smiles when he looks up to see me sitting ready to take the second mug from him.

"Good morning beautiful." He says as I take my first sip. "I have to go back to boulder for an hour or so today. Can you stay with Missy and keep her company? I have a few of my men outside just incase either of you need anything."

"Really Dom?" I said. I never heard him talk about his club or his 'Men' so it was a bit weird for me to hear. "I don't think we need your biker buddy's parked outside all day." He looked up at me and I could see the annoyance in his eyes. I had said something that offended him.

"They will follow you if you two decide to go anywhere." He says, putting his cut on and heading towards the door. I set the coffee down, jumped to my feet and quickly made my way to the door.

"Dom, I'm sorry." I say as I head out the door and slam right into him and fall right on my backside. That was graceful! I though. He looked down at me trying very hard not to laugh. He reached out a had to help me up. "Thanks"

"I know you don't know anything about me as I am now.." He said, a look of contemplation on his face. "If Miles were to stay here and keep Missy entertained for the day, could I take you with me?" he asks. I almost stop breathing for a moment and try to register the question. I have never been on a bike, I have never wanted to see what a Motorcycle Club does. I do however want to be near Dom.

"Yes" I say with a smile, and he returns the smile and wraps his arms around me. He finally puts me down and brushes a bit of hair from my face and when I look up to meet his gaze he brings his mouth down on mine. My mind goes blank, all I can think of are his lips, soft and full. His hands on face, strong and safe. He breaks the kiss and looks at me with a soft smile.

"Jeans, boots if you have any, jacket, and sunglasses. We leave in 20 minutes Beautiful." With a wink he was headed downstairs. I can work with 20 minutes, I jump in the shower and give my legs a quick shave. Dry off and find some cute jeans, a t-shirt, knee high boots. Run back to the bathroom to run a brush through my hair and quickly tie it back. Quickly apply a bit of eyeliner, mascara, and grab my raspberry lip-gloss. On the way out of my room I grab my backpack purse and my blue leather jacket. I head downstairs where Dom is waiting. He grabs my hand and leads me to the garage and he grabs a blue helmet for me. Once we both are on the bike I remind him I have never been on a motorcycle.

He lets out a deep laugh and says. "Hold on Baby girl, your always safe with me." He started the bike and I instantly wrapped my arms around him as the vibration went straight through me. We were on the road for a few hours and I couldn't believe how beautiful it was, the wind, the smell of the wild flowers. I loved the ride so much I gave a whine when Dom said we were almost there. He had six other members with us three in front and three in back.
