Sealed with a Kiss

Chapter 22

"I'll come over when I close up," She said as she got off the bike and handed Nathan the helmet.

"You sure you want to work, Peanut?" He asked as he removed helmet.

"Yep," She nodded, "I'm okay, Knuckles, I promise." She headed to her store and opened it. Turning on music she went through the routine of opening while humming along to the music.

Turning after grabbing an order that she printed out she gasped seeing Luke standing there smirking. "Hey Cupcake."

"Fucking hell Ninja," She gasped holding her chest. "I'm going to put a damn bell on you."

"Can I have ears and a tail also?" He chuckled and she rolled her eyes.

"Don't tempt me," She threatened as she pointed her finger at him. "Now," she sighed, "what are you doing here Ninja? You should be working at the bar."

"I'm not needed," he shook his head, "so I am spending the day with our little flower fairy." He popped a hershey's kiss in his mouth and held one out for her. She smirked and opened her mouth with her tongue sticking out. He inhaled softly then smirked and placed one on her tongue. "You're a tease, Little Fairy."

She shook her head, "Am not. I'm busy and you're just feeding me like your brother did the other day so I can work and eat at the same time."

"Okay," he chuckled. He watched in fascination as she worked in her element and was at utter peace. He and the group for sure thought she would be nervous and tense after everything and yet she had a soft smile on her lips as she gardened in the or rearranged flowers in vases. She had no signs of fear in her while she worked. His mind drifted as he watched her kneel down in the garden and tend to some weeds back to the comment she made about putting a bell on him and he bit back a groan as he imagined her wearing a collar.

The door dinged and he snapped out of his fantasy as the sheriff walked in. He was alert and nodded as Eve sat her gardening gloves on the counter, "hello Sheriff, what can I do for you?" she asked.

"Where are the boys, Eve?" He asked tiredly.

"Everyone but Ninja is next door, why?" She asked cautiously.

"Did the scene I just left have anything to do with the bruises on you?" He asked concerned.

"I have no idea what you are talking about," she said cautiously. "I tried to beat Ninja in a tree climbing bet and fell."

"We both know that tree climbing does not explain the rope burns on your wrists, Eve," The sheriff sighed tiredly. "But your wounds would explain the two burned bodies of the VP and President of the Chaos Rebels as well as the rest of the group being gunned down at one of their locations."

"What?" She asked shocked and shook her head. "What did you say?"

"You heard me, Eve," he said softly. "Now just tell me what happened, please?"

She looked up at Luke who nodded and she sighed, "Here," She said as she pulled her phone out of her back pocket and pulled up the video. "They kidnapped me and I fought back."

"That's all I need to hear," the sheriff nodded. "Thank you."

"What are you going to do?" She asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to take the video and it was obviously self defense, the fire started during the brawl to escape. As for the murders of the Chaos Rebels, well they have so many rivals, there is no telling what exactly happened." He slapped the counter a few times, "thank you, Eve."

"Thank you, Sheriff," she nodded as he left. She turned to Luke and pointed her finger, "I do NOT want to know. I already have too many ideas from watching Sons of Anarchy. I'm going to stay in my bubble."

"Yes Ma'am," he smirked as he put his hands on her hips. "So Cupcake," He murmured into her hair, "do you remember what you said last night?"

"Which thing?" She asked as she wrapped the ribbon around the vase and tied it. "I said a lot."

"You told Prez something while you were trying to go back to sleep," he hinted.

"Just what are you getting at, Ninja?" She asked confused.

He smirked and wrapped his arms around her stomach, keeping her back pressed against him chest. "We all gave you that ring, Little Fairy," he spoke softly. "And last night you told Prez that we were yours and you were ours."

She inhaled softly, "I did?" He nodded into her hair, "and what did he say?"

"What do you think, Little Fairy?" Luke chuckled, "We've been saying it since Grumpy put the first ring on you. Now that you have finally said it, you got a pretty little ring on a certain finger and a pretty little collar now don't you?"

She pouted, "Gunner hasn't given me a fruit cup yet though so how can I be sure?"

Luke burst out laughing, "Oh Little Fairy."
