Taste of Wolves

Chapter 28

The women set up the food in a buffet style line so everyone could get their food. Tara told Aria that the women and children always ate first. The knowledge impressed Aria since she figured it was a first come, first serve type of situation. Tara was getting down the paper plates and plasticware for everyone to use while Gemma was calling everyone to dinner. The women with kids formed a line as Tara and Aria finished up in the kitchen before getting in line too. Tara had to make three plates since her children were small and couldn't do it themselves. Aria helped her by carrying one of the plates for her. Jax smiled at Aria as she followed his wife to their table where he had their boys already waiting. Tara thanked her before she walked off to find a seat with Quinn and Happy. Tig sat down with the trio after the men got up to make their plates.

"So, Doll, how's your streaming going?" Tig asked.

"Well seeing as how I'm not there to stream, not so well." She retorted.

"Lil Bit..." Quinn trailed.

"I know, I know. This is for my protection." She rolled her eyes making Tig laugh but agree with Quinn.

"The hell do you do?" Happy asked.

"I play video games or sometimes I just sit there and talk and stream it live for people to watch. There's a chat for people to ask questions or comment and I answer them when I see them. People donate money if they like what I'm doing." She explained.

"And you seriously make money doing this?" Tig inquired.

"One night I saw it with my own eyes she received $850 in total from various people." Quinn told the pair.

"Holy shit!" Tig exclaimed making her laugh.

"I had one guy donated a grand to me once because he loved the game I was playing and loved my commentary on it." She shrugged surprising them all.

"Wow Wolfie. I can't believe you actually support yourself by playing video games." Tig laughed.

"Well I do. It may be an unconventional way of earning a living but it's my way. The longer I'm away from my computer, the more money I lose out on." She looked over at Quinn who huffed at her jab at him.

"Don't worry. We'll try to get things cleared up as soon as possible." Tig told her.

"Good. I want to get back to my life." She stated making Quinn smirk.

"You basically live in your basement!" He commented making her roll her eyes again.

"So? I'm in a nice, comfy chair, in the cool basement, not tearing up my hands." She shot back.

"Hey now! I work hard at the shop like the rest of the guys. It's an honest living too ya know!" Quinn retorted making her laugh.

"I know. I'm just messing with ya." She smiled at him making Tig just watch the pair closely.

Happy watched the pair as they interacted not convinced the girl was 'ol lady material. She was already whining about the lockdown which was strike one in his book. He'd have to watch her at a club party and see how she reacted to the crow eaters and other brothers hitting on her. Tig got her talking more about some of the games she played and more about how she got donations. He was surprised at how she actually made her living but he couldn't say anything. His way of making a living was selling illegal guns. Who was he to judge? The group sat around chatting until she began to yawn. Quinn excused them so he could show her where his room was. "He's already pussy whipped." Tig commented making Happy nod in agreement.

Quinn ushered Aria to his dorm and let her in since it was locked. Her bag was sitting on a desk that was to the left of the door. There was a small entertainment center in the room with a TV and DVD player set up on it. There was a queen sized bed in the middle of the room with bedside tables on either side. Straight ahead from the door was another door that he told her led to the private bathroom. It was better than what she was expecting for a biker dorm room. He told her most of the movies were all porn which she half-expected. There were a few posters on the walls all of mostly naked women. She rolled her eyes before turning her attention to the man who had walked to the bed and sat down on the edge. He tapped his knees for her to stand between them. When she moved closer to him, he reached out and pulled her in between his legs then rested his hands on either of her hips.

"Listen Lil Bit, I know this isn't the ideal situation. I know you'd rather be at home but I can be assured you're safe here. If something happened to you...I'd...I'd go insane. I wanted you here with me so I can protect you." Quinn told her.

"I get it. Really. I'm sorry for being such a brat about it." She sighed as she took the beanie off his head and threw it onto the bed then began running her fingers through his hair.

"It's ok. I understand this is an inconvenience to you and your way of earning a living. My only concern right now is keeping you safe." He stated.

"I appreciate it even if it doesn't seem like it." She chuckled.

"I'll always keep you safe to the best of my abilities." He said as he began running his hands up and down her back.

"I know you will." She smiled at him as he ran his hands underneath the back of her shirt making her shiver, "What are you doing?"

"Rubbing your back?" He asked.

"That's not what I meant and you know it." She raised an eyebrow at him.

"Can I help it if I find you so attractive and desirable I want to make love to you all the time?" He innocently stated making her entire face flush pink.

He gave her ass a firm squeeze before sneaking his hands back under her shirt to run his hands up and down her back again. She relented to the fact it did feel good. He really knew how to put to use those large hands of his! He loved it when she ran her fingers through his hair. It felt good and was a comforting gesture to him. Just her touching him was enough to get him hard as he sat there. He unhooked her bra making her sigh. He grinned at her when she looked at him with a raised eyebrow. He pulled her down so he could kiss her making any resolve she had disappear. His whiskers tickled some as they kissed but it was a feeling she had quickly learned to love.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

During the middle of the night loud gun fire could be heard. People began screaming and hitting the floor in an attempt at protecting themselves. Children began crying. Bikers whipped out their guns to try and protect their loved ones. Those sleeping in the dorms were all woken up. Quinn quickly dressed, took his gun, told Aria to stay in the room, and left to help his brothers. She was terrified of what was happening while she waited in his room. Gunfire could still be heard as bikers slowly exited the clubhouse and began firing back at the group who'd broken through their gate and were attacking their compound. Quinn squatted to the left of the door as he aimed his gun and took fire.

Jax was livid that these people had the balls to break onto their property and attack them in the middle of the night like a bunch of pussies. They had women and children here and these people were still attacking them. Bloodshed would have to be spilled it seemed. It was just a matter of how to go about doing it without it blowing back on the club. Several of the bikers like Quinn, Tig, and Happy hit their intended targets which eased up some of the gunfire. The other group finally decided they'd got their message across and didn't want any more of their members injured so they began to fall back to their vehicles and peeled out of the lot.

Jax told everyone to head back to bed and comfort their loved ones. They'd have church first thing in the morning to figure out how to deal with L.O.A.N. once and for all. Most bikers just nodded but Tig knew the "last resort" was probably the next resort. They walked back into the clubhouse where they tried to calm down the women and children. Those who had dorm rooms slowly made their way back to them. Quinn figured Aria would be terrified and would want to know what had happened. He opened up the door and found her sitting up in bed holding the covers up to her bare chest. They had fallen asleep naked after making love. He locked the door and walked to the bed.

She watched him set his gun on the bedside table before stripping down to nothing and crawling back into bed. He tapped his chest for her to curl up next to him which she quickly did. Laying her head on his chest, she draped her arm over his belly and looked up at him expecting him to tell her what had happened. He draped one arm around her back and rested his other hand on top of hers on his chest. He took a few deep breaths as he tried to figure out how to tell her what had transpired. He didn't want to scare her but knew she deserved to know they'd been uncharacteristically attacked. Hearing him sigh made her worry even more.
