Tiny's Sweet Obsession

56: More Questions than Answers

Tiny POV

The smell of breakfast wafted through the clubhouse, and I knew it was Lily's doing. My stomach growled, but I took the opportunity to shower and change into sweats before heading downstairs.

In the kitchen, Lily had covered the kitchen island with pancakes, bacon, sausage, biscuits, and scrambled eggs. Lily cracked three more eggs into the pan and started scrambling them, but I caught her eye. She smiled, but her blue eyes quickly widened, taking in my shirtless torso. Lily has seen me shirtless before, but never longer than it took me to change my shirt. I didn't want her to feel uncomfortable, but after the last few days I didn't think she would mind.

Lily took in every muscle and tattoo, but her eyes landed on one in particular.

The eggs started to smoke next to Lily, so I reached behind her and took the pan off the heat, and spatula from her hands.

"Don't worry, I'll eat the eggs," I laughed, but Lily didn't respond.

Her eyes never left my ribs as she asked, "Are those lilies?"

"Yes."

"Have you always had them?" she asked, stepping forward, and I grabbed her hips, unable to keep my hands off of her any longer.

"No, I got them a week before we found you. The night I broke into the Disciples clubhouse, I promised to make you my Old Lady, my rider, but everything fell apart. After that, I worked day and night to find you, and when I couldn't, I did things that remind me of you," I said, grabbing her face and rubbing her cheeks, keeping my tears at bay.

"I love you, Lily. I want to be with you," I whispered.

Lily's blue eyes stared into mine, and I saw her struggle to let her walls come down. It is difficult to let someone in after trauma, but I hope opening up will help her, and I will take the bits she does give.

"I never thought I would understand love, especially after being with Sean. But my heart knew before my head did, along with everyone else. I am in love with you," Lily admitted, her cheeks reddening.

"If you are asking me to be your girlfriend, the answer is yes. But if this isn't you asking, then I'm asking you," Lily promptly added before crashing her lips against mine, waving her hands around my neck, melting into me.

My hand moved to her hair, gently tugging it, and it didn't take long before things heated up. Not wanting it to go too far, I pulled away and brushed her hair behind her ear.

This beautiful Sunshine is mine. All mine. She has given me more than I could have asked for.

"Breakfast?" I asked, and Lily smiled.

We put everything on the table, and the guys dug right in. I sat next to Lily, our legs touching, but after a while, her legs started bouncing, and I could tell she was anxious about something. Her appetite hadn't fully returned, and she played with her food more than she ate, which bothered me.

"What's wrong?" I asked, squeezing her thigh.

"I have questions. Questions, I need answers to, and if you can't answer them, I will ask someone who can. I want this to be my life, but I can't live life constantly looking over my shoulder, wondering if they're coming for me again," she huffed.

I can't keep hiding things from Lily, not if I want her to be in my life. She doesn't know about Chains or Sean, let alone what the Riders spend most of their time doing after hours. After everything that had happened, I would question everything, too. I guess we are doing this now.

"We can talk if you want," I nodded, and we started clearing the table.

I loaded the dishwasher and washed the pans while Lily sat on the counter and dried them for me. Once we cleaned everything and put them away, I stood between her legs and took a breath.

Lily reached for my hand and gave me a small smile.

"We caught Sean, and he is alive, along with a few other Devil's Disciples. However, I won't lie. Some of them got away. We haven't found Slasher or Diesel," I grumbled.

"What about Chains?" she whispered.

"We have him too. Why?" I asked, hoping she figured everything out on her own.

"I don't know. There was something about him that bothered me. Chains asked me about my personal life, and for a moment, I thought he cared about me. However, he sold me off just like the others," Lily admitted.

Taking a breath, I stepped back, helped her off the counter, and led her to Hawk's office. Hawk looked at us, confused.

"I need the file," I stated. Hawk grabbed the file from a locked cabinet and handed it to me, and Lily and I headed to my bedroom.

Lily sat on the bed, and I handed her the file with her name on it. "I found this in the safe of the Disciples clubhouse, along with other irrelevant files. Take a look, and when you're ready or have questions, I'll try my best to answer them," I said, standing near the door, giving her space.

I watched Lily flip through the file, and each time she read new information, her face scrunched into confusion and betrayal. But when she reached the last page, the picture of her and her mom and Chains, tears fell from her blue eyes. Lily remained quiet for a while as she cried, and eventually, I sat next to her, holding her until the tears slowed.

"He was asking me questions because he thought I was his daughter. I am his daughter," Lily snapped, pointing at the picture.

"I'm sorry, Sunshine. I know this isn't what you were hoping to find out," I whispered, rubbing her back.

"I don't understand. How did this happen? He knew what would happen to me, and he didn't stop them. Why didn't he find me before? Or reach out?" Lily asked, getting angrier with each question. Each one was valid, and I didn't have suitable answers.

"I know nothing I say will help, but from what Hawk could find, your mom took you and left without telling Chains. He thought Sonny, your mom, would come back. But she relapsed and died, and you went into the foster care system. You were too young to talk and tell them who you were or anything helpful, and no one had reported you missing. So they re-named you and, well, you know the rest," I said, rubbing Lily's back.

"Did you ever find out what my name was? Before they changed it," Lily asked, looking up at me.

"No. The only one who knows that is Chains, but he isn't talking right now. But if you want to know, I can ask him," I offered. I knew Chains was in no shape to talk, not after his beating, but if she wants answers, I'll get them for her.

Lily pulled away from me and wiped her tears before putting the papers back into the file and throwing them in the trash.

She turned to me and asked, "Did you have a relationship with your family?
