Taste of Wolves

Chapter 14

It was decided on one of the Jackbox games so everyone could play with her. While people were voting, she set up a give-a-way for people to take part in. As the stream started going, she immediately started getting donations. It always amazed him how people just threw money at her like this. He sat there eyeing her up as she joked, laughed, and had a good time with the people watching her live. Some of the questions in the game they were all playing together had even Quinn laughing and he knew why she liked this game so much. It was silly and fun and made you laugh. Just what people needed at the end of a long, hard day at work!

By the end of the night, she'd made roughly a thousand dollars. It blew his mind at the money she made but she was good at what she did. He remained quiet as she shut her rig down and turned everything off. As she was passing him to head back upstairs, he pulled her into his arms once more and crashed his lips to hers. Her heart began to beat wildly in her chest, her pulse quickened, she felt like all the air had been sucked right out of her lungs, and she was sure her knees were going to give out on her at any moment. Grabbing for his kutte again to help steady herself made her inadvertently push herself into him which made him groan into their kiss.

"'ey Quinn! Jackie Boy just called. We're needed at the clubhouse." Chibs called since he couldn't see where they were.

Quinn pulled away to answer his brother, "Alright. Be right there. Well, looks like I gotta go. Keep all the doors locked."

"We always do. Be safe out there. I'll see you Saturday." She smiled at him.

"Try and keep me away." He quietly told her before kissing her one last time then heading upstairs to follow his brother back to their clubhouse.

She slowly made her way upstairs to turn off all the lights. Her aunt was just getting up out of her chair to head off to bed so Aria helped her to her room before making sure all the doors were locked and turning off the rest of the lights and heading to bed herself. Figuring he'd be out late with his club, Aria just plugged her phone into its charger and turned on her TV to find something to watch as she went to sleep. The following day, she was in a rather good mood making her aunt smile knowingly at her. Quinn's actions had spoke volumes to her and she knew the long-haired biker had a thing for her niece long before he admitted it.

Saturday didn't seem like it would ever come. Aria managed to get the laundry all done on Friday in preparation for her date the following day. He arrived precisely when he told her he was going to. Linda told her she looked fine when she asked her opinion of her black skinny jeans, black buckle New Rock boots, and black fitted tank top. He eyed her up and down when she opened the door with a smile. He asked if she were ready to go and she told him she was almost ready. She walked back in to see if her aunt needed anything before she left. "Filip will be here soon. I'll be fine until then. Have a good time and don't worry about me while you're out." Linda told her making Aria smile, lean down, and kiss her aunt's cheek.

Just as Aria and Quinn were pulling out of the driveway,Chibs was pulling in. He promised to look after her aunt while they were out,to not worry about dinner, and to just have a good time. Aria thanked theScotsman before Quinn took off. He loved the feeling of her on the back of hisbike and had missed it although he'd only had her on it once. He had to smileas she pressed herself into his back, her inner thighs pressing against hisouter thighs, her arms wrapped so tightly around his middle with her handslocked together, head leaning against his back. It was like she was made to bethere.

She loved being on the back of his bike. It was exciting and she loved how close she got to be to him as they drove along. Although she wasn't sure where he was taking her, it really didn't matter. She was getting to spend time with him and that's what mattered the most. Her aunt had someone to look after her while she was otherwise busy so she had the day to take for herself. He reached down and gave her hand a squeeze before grabbing his handlebar again. It made her giddy to feel him touching her as they rode along. She wasn't sure where he was taking her since this was their first official date. They had left Charming proper and eventually turned off onto a dirt road.

They drove along the road until they came upon a park she hadn't known was there. It was surrounded by huge oak trees, there was a still pond in the middle of the park, there was a playground for children, several picnic tables with grills nearby scattered around the place and she noticed a cliff not too far off from where they were at overlooking what she assumed to be Charming. After climbing off his bike, she watched him take a picnic basket out of one saddlebag and a blanket out of the other then he asked her to follow him. They walked around until he found the perfect tree to set out the blanket for them to sit on underneath a beautiful tree.

"This is so beautiful." She told him making him smile and tell her "thanks".

She watched as he made sure the blanket was spread out just perfectly before telling her to have a seat. She smiled as she got settled while he took the picnic basket and set it between them. He slowly took out a container of what appeared to be potato salad, something wrapped in tin-foil, fruit-kabobs, a small plastic container of lemonade, a small container of deviled eggs, plasticware, plastic plates, and a couple plastic cups. He grabbed some wet naps out of the bottom as well as a serving spoon for the potato salad. She watched as he opened up the tin foil to reveal some nicely cooked grilled chicken.

"Smells and looks wonderful, Rane." She told him earning a smile in return.

"Thanks. Gemma actually helped me cook most of this since I'm not really much of a cook. I can grill with the best of them, though." He chuckled at the end.

"This is still nice." Aria replied as he let her make herself a plate first, "How did you come upon this place?"

"I was just riding around one day trying to clear my head. Going down different roads that I'd never traveled before. Stumbled upon this place and fell in love. Since that new part was set up in town, this place is hardly ever used anymore." Quinn explained.

"What a shame. This place is so beautiful and serene." She replied earning a head nod from the giant of a man beside her.

He moved the picnic basket to his right so he could fill her glass with lemonade before she started eating. She thanked him with a smile making his heart speed up slightly. He didn't know how she'd gotten under his skin so much but he knew deep down there was nothing he wouldn't do for her. Even if this was only their technical first date, they spoke every single day and had been for months. She had him telling her more about his solo trips as they ate a quiet, peaceful lunch together. He didn't know why she wanted to know about his solo rides but figured he'd tell her anything she wanted to know. After a while, she asked him to tell her all about himself.

With a chuckle, he told her about how he'd grown up in a super strict household. How his father had treated him and his mother more like employees to the household than family members, and how pissed his father had been when he prospected for the Sons as soon as he graduated high school. She laughed fully understanding family members not understanding your life choices and quickly told him so. He told her how he and his father had had a huge blowing out when he graduated and that his father told him if he prospected for this violent motorcycle gang to never show his face around their house again. She gasped hearing that making him shrug in response. "I have a whole other family now." he stated as if it were no big deal.

He told her stories of his prospectship to the Sons and his early days with the club. She listened intently as he told her how he'd come to be the president of the Nomad charter and how close he'd become to Happy after the assassin joined the Nomads so he could be with his mother as she was ill. He explained how everyone had eventually left leaving pretty much just him so he disbanded the Nomad charter and patched in to the mother charter which was there in Charming. She found his life fascinating which amused him as he didn't think his life was all that interesting. He turned the conversation over to her and asked to hear all about her.
