A Flicker of Redemption

Chapter 31

Once Gemma and Angelika had finished up with dinner, the blond made two plates while Gemma said goodbye to the Killah. He kissed the Matriarch's cheek. Gemma told Angelika she'd see her at work the next morning earning a smile and nod before the blond brought the two plates into the living room. Happy was setting up the accounts so they could watch Netflix and Hulu through the console. Looking around, she decided they needed a DVD collection so they had something to fall back on if the internet wasn't available. She wasn't even sure when he'd had the internet turned on at the house but wasn't going to question him on little things like that.

"This is good." Happy told her when he got around to eating.

"Gemma did most of the work. I, uh, don't really know much about cooking." She got quieter as she spoke.

"It's ok, little girl. You had other things to worry about than learning how to cook these last few years. Gemma can teach you all you need to know about cooking." Happy told her.

"I hope you're not upset with how much I spent today. When I saw I could get the living room set and still be within budget, I had to get it. We needed it." She stated.

"I'm not upset. You did real good. It's something we desperately needed and you stayed within budget." He commented.

"Good. I hated spending all that money that wasn't mine." She sighed.

"This is your house too. Remember that. Make it your own." He told her, taking her off guard.

He clicked on a show he wanted to watch as he ate his dinner. She took her empty plate and headed into the kitchen to begin cleaning up from making dinner. She still couldn't believe he'd bought this amazing house just for her. For the first time ever, she truly had a home. She put up the left-overs then headed to the master bedroom to put up her clothes and toiletries in the bathroom. The master bath was amazing as well and she couldn't stop the smile that graced her face as she thought that this was her home. Where she could come to every day after work and relax and get away from the club and his biker buddies. Her very own sanctuary.

As he sat there watching TV, he realized it was about time to tattoo her. The stab wound to her chest had healed up and left a bit of a scar there. She was ready for her ink. While she was in the bedroom, he headed out to his bike to get his kit. She was in the shower when he entered the bedroom. Since she was getting cleaned up, he set out his tattooing stuff in preparation for inking his 'ol lady. They were now officially living together. They'd slept together. This was all that remained to be done. She exited the bathroom and jumped slightly in surprise. He smiled at her before pointing to the bed. "It's time to ink you, little girl. Take your shirt off." he commanded.

She did as she was told then laid down on her back. He sat on the edge of the bed with his stuff there waiting for her to get comfortable before he applied the stencil and started the outline. It was a little more painful than what she'd originally thought it would be when he told her he was going to tattoo her. This was going across her chest and shoulder and would cover up the scar from being stabbed by doctor bitch. Happy was getting hard at tattooing his 'ol lady and was already thinking of what he wanted to do to her after he was done inking her. She looked down at him and watched his concentrated face. Nothing else seemed to matter to him except the work at hand. She found it oddly cute.

He wiped away some excess ink then glanced up at her. She smiled down at him to let him know she was ok. He nodded then got back to working on her skin. Her very first tattoo and it was his crow. He loved the fact that it was her first tattoo and he was the first and only one who would ever work on her. No other artist was allowed to ink her but him. She was his 'ol lady! As he worked, she wondered what he was thinking. Would he expect her to get more tattoos since he was covered in them? Would he mind doing more of her tattoos if she ever decided she wanted more? She smiled at the thought of him tattooing her again. She really liked him touching her even if it was just to tattoo her.

It was several hours before her tattoo was done. He took his gloves off and told her to go check it out while he cleaned up. She wasn't sure how it was going to look on her skin as she walked into the bathroom. Seeing it for the first time on her brought tears to her eyes. It was absolutely beautiful. She left the bathroom and walked over to him, sliding her arms around his waist and told him how beautiful it was and how much she loved it. He wrapped it up so it could heal properly and told her to climb onto the bed. She wondered what was going on until he'd moved his tattooing kit off the bed then began to strip himself of his clothes. She smiled seductively as he crawled up the bed to hover over her.

Licking her lips as she stared into his near-black eyes made him growl lowly in his chest. She liked the sound and bit her lip in anticipation of what was to come. He'd made her walk funny just from his size the last time they'd had sex, she couldn't wait to see how funny she would be walking tomorrow. The desire for the blond beneath him was overwhelming as he slowly crawled up her body, eyes locked with hers. He could see the slight shiver when he growled at her and he liked the effect he had on her. He was easy the last time because he didn't want to cause her any pain since it was the first time of her own free will. Now he was going to mark her as his and make sure she understood whose 'ol man she belonged to!

When he got close enough, she pulled him straight to her and crashed their lips together. Seeing her so into it and eager made him rock hard. He ran his tongue across her bottom lip making her part her lips slightly for him. Exploring her mouth, his left hand held him up while his right pinched and rolled her left nipple between his fingers. Hearing her whimpering already for him made his heart race. He could almost feel how wet she was for him as he settled between her legs while he moved from her lips down her throat. She hummed in approval before he yanked her down the bed. Her surprised squeak made him smirk. He moved her legs so they were wrapped around his waist before he rammed himself into her. She nearly raised off the bed at the intrusion.

He wasn't gentle like he'd been the last time but she wasn't quite prepared for how rough he was being now. She ran her hands down his chest as he pumped in and out while he used his thumb to rub circles with her clit. Happy had her moaning and arching her back as he sped up his movements. The assassin wanted his woman to get off before he did. He leaned down and sucked on her collar bone leaving a large hickey in his wake. Moving a little further south on her chest, he repeated his actions. He sucked and nibbled on several more locations across her chest and neck leaving the same love marks. She couldn't speak as he finally brought her to her orgasm making her cum all over his hand. "So beautiful, little girl." she heard him say as she rode out the wave of pleasure.

Speeding up his movements,he leaned down and buried his face in her neck. He kept her legs wrapped firmly around his waist with sweat pouring down his forehead and back. Breathing hard again, she began raking her nails up and down his back urging him on silently. "Come on, big boy." she whispered in his ear earning a grunt in response as he sped up his movements chasing his high. His balls tightened as his orgasm fast approached. She whispered his name, raked her nails down his back, and kissed on his neck and shoulder as he pounded into her at a feverish pace. "That's it, baby..." she trailed right before he exploded inside her. He couldn't breathe as he collapsed on top of her sweaty but sated.

She kept running her fingers over his sweaty back as he laid on top of her trying to regulate his breathing. His face was still buried in her neck which made her smile. There was something about this that made her feel very close to him. It was almost as if he were in a vulnerable state like this. When his breathing had returned to normal, he rolled off her onto his back then pulled her straight into his arms. She laid her head on his chest and flung her arm over his stomach as she curled up next to him. He didn't say a word to her as they laid there together basking in the after-glow. She slowly started falling asleep bringing a small smile to his face as he watched her eyes flutter closed. Reaching over to the bedside table, he turned off the lamp and allowed himself to drift off to a contented sleep.
